"Angry Youth" - Dedicated to the young people with calm and warm applause

I still can't get out of this repression, and the gun finally went off.

The entire film is immersed in black and white.

That doesn't seem like a wise choice for a film that expresses anger and youth . Perhaps it should have vermilion teeth

white girl, or use of fireworks displays to heighten the frenzy atmosphere, then heated

, then you can be the gladiator arena as well as the fierce fighting from the blood bubbling. These

youthful and angry elements are absent from Cassavetes' narrative technique. The black and white

scenes create an extremely depressing atmosphere. There are many things happening. In the

black and white world, this is the angry youth in Cassavetes' eyes. He deliberately avoided

the arrangement of the dazzling scenes of angry youth and the design of the eye-catching. He

seems to be just silent, sitting silently in the dark watching all this, this is

his disapproval and deep reflection. And too much gorgeous and splendid scene then there will be a

Zhong meant to be a better tribute to the youth. This we can

see from the comparison of "Sunny Day" with it.

Probably the same time, the same group of young people. The whole

society was caught in a frenzy of defiance. Young people become a

force for destruction . They are a group of about 18 years old, the most embarrassing age, and

they are not in touch, but they are restless, do nothing all day, despise their parents, Yiju lives

among buddies and brothers, wanders around the city, and keeps making trouble.

In "Sunny Day", the colors are gorgeous and even warm. Ma Xiaojun

is running around on the roof of the bungalow under the sunset. He rides a bicycle with Milan in the sunset.

Glide forward among the orange trees. So all the fierceness of the film is

softened by this warmth , and with all kinds of laughable bridges, we

will have more knowing smiles after watching it . What a lovely group of people. What a lovely nostalgic in

generations.
But "Angry Youth" is not like this, black and white set the

tone of darkness and silence . Not only that, but black and white is also the best way to make the boundaries between things and things less

clear than colored slices. Not too many protagonists are prominent in a scene, so

the chaos displayed is different from the chaos of color film. The confusion borders on dazedness, not

the vertigo of color film. This loss is a sense of emptiness group of young drug

product. The result of him is that you never know what this group of young people will do

. In your opinion, this is a group of neuroticism.

The most impressive thing is that Vince's wolf-like eyes are hostile

. Why is he so angry? ! What is the

connection between this sense of emptiness and anger ? If you go big to say, this is a drastic change in the 1960s is the world's

leather era. Not only is China in chaos, but young people in many European and American countries are beginning to

rebel against the traditional values ​​of their parents. Not only the Beatles movement, the rock movement

, the anti-war marches, the anti-racism…. Many young people take drugs and

enjoy more sexual freedom than their parents, especially with birth control pills. Anger is

the theme of this era, the best catalyst.

Vince said: I was an ant lost in the vast universe; the wide Saeed

told "The world is yours" to the card "The world is ours." Herbert Complaint

Telling them a faller said, "So far, so good." These

are all catalyzed by a sense of daze . They may not have an immediate whom to pursue the goal of his

when they landed know, but they seem to feel themselves moving toward a horrible

ending, they want to escape. But they are powerless. They are very fragile

. But they have to break through this bondage and find a tangible goal or life.

Camus's Meursault outsider is a human loss, but if a group of outsiders

gathered together, they begin to establish their own sub-bureau, while impossible

to meet on the sidelines is still impossible Also content with being sentenced to

death as casually as Meursault . Start saying "NO".

And it certainly feels like taking a risk, a gamble. That put the gun in the most dangerous crisis

Vince hands of the most dangerous burst of temper, it was pulled several times, at the edge of danger. To us

, Vince is like a baby playing with a knife, it seems that he can only hurt himself.

Thankfully Vince never pulled the trigger. Vince shouted Herbert: "I know

he himself re doing!" Yes, Vince is really know. His anger is not a simple

single-excitation of adrenaline, he knew the young people themselves are doing. He

can be very self-made. On the contrary, those who teach the experience like new cops in the police station,

show off during the torture: You have to control yourself, like this. And they were the

last to pull the trigger. That gunshot is the most gorgeous moment of the film. Remember this

was detonated by the police. This is the most social time greatest irony: in the end who is not correct

often? Who is the most restless? Is it just young people? Is it a young man?

Black Herbert seemed to be worried all the time. He

quarrelled with the excited Vince countless times . He was also embarrassed and confused. So while he is involved in the activities of young people,

he is also playing the role of calmer. But he always felt that Vince was doing the wrong thing. Guns

should not be in the hands of young people. Guns make a lot of sense here. This is

a substantial symbol of the power to break . This is the coming of some kind of power, violence. Before they gathered in a

play cool to talk about all kinds of guns. But now that it's really in hand, I'm a little uneasy.

Bert particular unease. Indeed, this is close to the bottom line. If violence takes over their

anger, it will be a revolution. And this is undeniably terrifying. And throughout

the 1960s there was no such real bloody revolution. Herbert didn't understand

Vince, but he thought further. Herbert understand this movement, because he was considered too

far. When Vince was accidentally killed by the police, Herbert resolutely raised his gun.

He finally thought, "So far, it's not bad", why did he consciously fall to the ground and

die? It's better to die when it's "not bad".

Remember that cow? Only Vince saw it. Because Vince was right.

Remember the story of Siberia told by the old man in the toilet? Such a

sad story, my friend was frozen to death. The old man said it calmly, and

said it very funny, and added a "good day" at the end. Isn't he too

restless, too calm, so to speak, indifferent? Is this attitude towards life

acceptable to young people ? These years to be a companion to play counter-attack police and angry

young people willing to accept it? impossible! This is what they are dissatisfied with, and they have to

accept it, so they are confused. Those traditional decadent ones!

The warmest place is when the lights of the Eiffel Tower really go out. This is the

director's best comfort and small gift to these angry young people. The world really

is because you can change. Young people are always the most determined promoters of the era.

Tribute to the heroic Vince! Hats off to the calm and enthusiastic Karlwitz!
