The film is shot at a leisurely pace, and it can be said to find the drama in ordinary life - such works often become classics.
With the beating music rhythm, we see the gray sky of Beijing, the streets that are always dusty, the dilapidated, messy but warm Beijing Hutongs, and the life of the people at the bottom of Beijing. At least we can know that Beijing has not become " In my life experience, in the spring and autumn in the north, it is indeed windy, sandy and dusty, and if it does not snow in winter, it will be terrifying. Beijing under the lens of Wang Xiaoshuai is real. Unlike other movies, it only shoots high-rise buildings, spotless office buildings and shopping malls. Shoot those unearthly bloody stories.
In addition to the real Beijing streets and hutongs, what Wang Xiaoshuai retained with the camera lens was Jiang Kun's "Healthy Crosstalk" in the background, tens of thousands of bicycles on the street, and the dilapidated Poussin. The place where the two male protagonists live is like the "Kowloon Walled City" in Hong Kong. We see narrow alleys, rooftop houses, and the word "demolition" written all over the walls. Only such films truly record a microcosm of an era, a side of a city. Compared with food, this is the authentic flavor food. And those so-called urban movies that spend huge sums of money are fast-food chains.
In such a world, Xiaogui, a migrant worker, became a glorious courier and owned a beautiful mountain bike - in Beijing at that time, for another seventeen-year-old vocational high school student Xiaojian, it was A sharp tool for picking up girls, no less than the second-generation Mercedes-Benz BMW Porsche. With a mountain bike he bought off the used market, he quickly had a lovely girlfriend, and with the loss of the bike, he also lost his girlfriend -- though it wasn't just the bike.
Two adolescent teenagers, one for a living and one for vanity, in the battle for this bicycle, turned from enemies to friends, each spent their bitter and restless life years and fighting youth.
Rural children in tattered wool vests are Xiaogui, in shyness and fear, for their own means of making a living, and these children in the city who are still pampered and pampered despite being at the bottom of the city. In the struggle, by accident, he learned to smoke. Even, he shot the first brick to gain a firm foothold in Beijing, a first-tier city. In essence, they are all the same. They are all teenagers. Our party has divided people into "urban people" and "rural people". In fact, they are all Chinese children with Chinese genes in their bones. , just appearance.
That's why the movie has a nameless little nanny played by another goddess Zhou Xun. She dresses stylishly, like a canary in a big city, a dignitary in a family of dignitaries, a widow in the spring, in a small dusty alley. In the middle, she went to the canteen to make soy sauce and was very charming. She was hit by a bicycle and fell so handsome. This image is "Beijing" itself - under the splendid appearance, it is actually a little babysitter without dignity. Being dismantled, he had to leave in a hurry.
The film's dialogue is very human, so much so that the dark humor and bitter jokes lighten the otherwise heavy film. Its truth is invaluable. It is real that children look down on each other, cruelty is real, and compromise and sympathy are also real.
This is a movie I watched more than ten years ago, and now I need to rewatch it. More than ten years ago, I was also young and young. I watched this movie because of our eternal goddess Gao OO, I thought she would never grow old, forever In our student days, she was a shy, shy underground girlfriend in a school uniform, with clear eyes and a pure smile.
