That summer three years ago, I couldn’t help but fall in love with the Beatles. I remember listening to "hey jude" from the speakers over and over again in the hot afternoon and Le leaning against the back wall of the classroom. Moved. Today, when I hear their song again in this American film called "A Different Childhood", it seems that everything is back to the past. Recalling childhood, perhaps few people can be as tortuous as the protagonist Annu in the film, but in the curse of fate, it seems that each one has to undergo a transformation.
Anu is a nine-year-old child living in the Browns district where Italians gather in the United States. He yearns for the life of the gangsters around him and admires the gang boss Zinni very much. However, his father Rowlandson has a sense of justice and tries his best to help his son not Bad wind pollution in the area. Anu witnessed a homicide, but refused to confess that the murderer was Zinni, a gang figure in the district. This incident prompted the two to develop a friendship that was like a father and son. Zinny also affectionately called Anu C. In the following eight years, Zinny's power gradually expanded. Rowlandson's worries that his son would go astray became more serious, and the young Anu became two "fathers." Common core. The love of two fathers, an ambivalent heart, and a boss in the world did not lead Anu astray. Instead, he taught him a lot of life and life, and saved him from danger. This seems to be too It can only be explained with the word love.
The climax of the film appeared in the second half. One day, C met the beautiful and noble black girl Jane and fell in love, but Jane's brother was injured by C's friends. In order to vent his anger, Jane's brother accused C who had protected him as his murderer, causing Jane to leave in anger. After returning home, C, who was extremely frustrated with his father's reprimand and Zinny's suspicion, got into a friend's car and was about to drive to the black area to start the "revenge" operation, but was stopped by Zinny on the way. C, who returned to the door of the house, found Jane who had understood the truth. The two were reunited. C was also pleasantly surprised to find that Jane had passed the "car door test" taught to him by Zinni. After the two rushed back to the black area, what they saw was the horribly burned dead bodies of their four partners... Grateful, C hurried to find Zinny, but saw Zinny was shot and killed by Zinny eight years ago. The killer’s son was shot...
All the funerals made C feel humanly indifferent. Faced with Zinny's body, C said gratitude that he could never hear anymore. Rowlandson came to express condolences to Zinni and express his gratitude to Zinni for his influence on C. The father and son
settled their suspicions and walked to the house together... Very soon after class, the shocking images in the film are still revolving in my mind: Zinny's "only three fingers" gesture; C's father throws 600 US dollars At Zinney's desk; the "car door test" Zinni taught C; the corpses of C's friends who were burned to the horror; the slow motion when Zinni was killed, C shouted "NO——" hoarsely And the cold face of the killer; people's indifferent smiles and talk at funerals...
C's father always said: The saddest thing in life is wasting talent. And Zinny confirmed this sentence with his own life.
Zinney said: "People are selfish, No body cares." This was indeed confirmed at his funeral, when he was lying quietly in a luxurious coffin surrounded by flowers. "Friends" are socializing and making fun of them. C watched quietly, no body cares, no body cares... No matter the prosperity or respect during his lifetime, everything is just a passing moment.
C finally printed a kiss on Zinny's cold forehead with his hand.
Life is nothing more than this, growth, and nothing more than this,
as C said at the end: Your choice will always determine your life. How should we choose?
Later, I knew that the director of this film was actually the famous De Niro, and this was the only film he directed and acted by himself. What was even more surprising was that Carlo Gero, who played Zinni, was actually the screenwriter of this film. It turns out that the deepest understanding comes from the most primitive ideas and creations.
In 1993, when the film was released, Jazz and Beatles hit the hearts of every audience. In 2007, I cherished my childhood in front of the big screen, watching Anu's back in the film with emotion, thinking: When the clock turns past the fleeting years, I Can you go back to the past and choose your life again?
the choices that you make will shape your life forever.
