Don't tell me about the sense of substitution, unless you and I live in a very different era, or we are not in the same country at all.
Don't force it up. What empathy, bullshit. Dare to ask who in China went to a Catholic school, who interrupted the speaker during the speech stage of the conference, and who kept taking the initiative to post boys who wanted to break the sentence? Even if there is such a girl around you, do you think such a girl would watch such a movie?
Popular is also only popular abroad. The resonance is not the resonance we should have.
What kind of adolescence rebellion, I really think it means thin enough. Rebellious by jumping in a car? That's a fool; pranking a school staff member's beliefs is rebellious? That's called uneducated; clamoring for your parents to pay off the money they raised you would be rebellious? That is spoiled and need to be cleaned up. It is obviously the daily life of a problem girl, how come it seems familiar? How can you feel the same way?
Residential areas separated by railways, small-scale convenience stores, spacious blocks, and deserted streets are all a concentration of elements with small local characteristics, such as the green military uniforms, bright red five-pointed stars, and iconic avatar propaganda in Fanghuali. Like the gathering of paintings, the beautiful thighs of the girls in the art troupe, the love of the children of high officials, etc., these are the cultural symbols and life content unique to the author's specific world and specific era, and the limitations are clear and strong. Under such a setting, it is nothing more than a few beautiful scenes, a few special costumes, or a few pieces of music of the era to resonate with the "insiders". For "outsiders", if the director wants to cultivate a wide range of people's common feelings for the characters, so as to finally achieve emotional sublimation, it is not as simple as the above. However, regardless of the plot content or the way of shooting, lady bird is full of very personal emotions and artistic style from head to toe. So in my opinion, this film is just like Youth. This film was made by people using their favorite techniques and film language for themselves to remember their bitter and sweet memories. Of course, if you say that you just saw your youth in it, then I have nothing to say.
Another point I have to complain about is that the film is too fragmented. Although aesthetics itself is a matter of personality, and art forms should not be fixed within existing models and norms, I do not agree with this kind of narrative innovation (if it is). I ran through the film again and again before writing, and in the entire hour and a half of the film there was not a single scene, yes, not a single scene, more than 4 minutes. Most of them are done in 2 minutes and then the next. This fragmented narrative approach is really unsustainable for me. The constantly changing character conflicts and many topics that can only be understood under the local cultural background make me feel that there is always someone next to me who wants to interrupt me chatting with me during the viewing process, and it is difficult to complete the accumulation of feelings for the characters. Not to mention empathy. If it weren't for Saoirse Ronan's face... The
story is told in the main line of graduating from high school and entering university. The performances of several popular post-90s film stars are online throughout the whole process, and the delicate and sensitive thoughts of adolescent boys and girls are just right. It is shown, but comparing the film vertically with other youth films in history has no obvious advantages. Therefore, I cannot understand that this film has received such high praise from film critics and the masses at home and abroad, especially in China, and has caused such a large-scale emotional resonance. of question marks.
Finally, if the record of Rotten Tomatoes 195 consecutive fresh is not formed under the invisible manipulation of capital, then I really envy the gentle and delicate girl hearts of male foreigners among film critics.
