Boy, thank you for making me laugh

The term "juvenile" can easily become a compliment when used in movies.

When Rimbaud was writing poetry about being gay in Total Eclipse, Alex kissed his companions and killed everyone in "The Elephant", and Mike sat quietly by the fire leading to Idaho, crying without tears. Dick is writing a letter. Jamie Bell recently watched Part N. Such a boy is in the age of Hollywood's teenage age. He has a puffy face and can't be said to be bloated or strong. He walks staggeringly but has no beauty at all, until dear Wen. Di Cai was a little fond of him.

The good impression comes from his affectionate voice-over, and the way he devoutly inserts a rose for a gun. The director may never have focused on a person's near-faithful infatuation with a gun, but as a teenager, fanatical love is a must. This kind of frenzy then leads to crazy behavior or disappears naturally. In short, extremeization is the characteristic of teenagers. Dick went the other way, and he was so soft, gentle, and good at setting the mood that we had no trouble predicting that the Sex Pistols would end up on the road to teenage transformation.

If Dear Wendy was just describing everyone being young and frivolous, I think it's a good movie too. It is easy to think of a certain stage of our childhood: deep and remote, being isolated and bullied, racing with our left hand and right hand, or coaxing 10,000 times in fantasy. In other words, play by yourself. Everyone has the ability to "play by themselves", and dear Wendy is telling us about the commonality of culture: foreign children still do. When we are immersed in the stories we make up, we try to cooperate with it, trying to overcome them by setting obstacles for ourselves and bursting microcosms in our consciousness. So when Dick and his mates were in a powerful aura with guns, I couldn't help spraying; Yes; I sprayed again when the Sex Pistol Club members showed up with their partners in rhythm one by one.

However, the movie doesn't allow us to laugh nonstop just in peace, so Saiba is a small twist in the story. Unlike these teenagers who have not been truly earth-shattering and long for a sense of heroism, this black boy likes to talk less, meditate and do more. I don't want to find out how this guy made Dick jealous because of a gun, in fact, Saiba represents exactly the end of the frenzy that we talked about before, Dick's displeasure stems from his own Weak hatred, companions represent the nature of the boy's swing. Teenagers have the most precious time in their lives. Their choices are so easy, even if it is about the future, who will think carefully now? Dick was jealous of Saiba precisely because he had a more sensitive premonition than his comrades of the ultimate nothingness that awaited them. Wendy can be a girl, after all, which teenager is not pregnant, but even if Wendy has a gun, it does not affect Dick in the process of "playing by himself". .

It was Saiba, the unkind guy who gave him a slight push, and this young man who didn't even focus on walking fell down on the road of his life. As a result, all his companions accompany him to bounce back from nothingness. Brilliantly brilliant. I knew I was destined to spray the whole scene when Dick took a pen and carefully drew their map of action. Everyone has teenagers, but not everyone is lucky enough to be completely faithful to self-directed situations. We can imagine that one afternoon when we were playing the N role and performing the super empty fortress scene, my mother tapped in the back and asked, "What are you doing?" /Working homework)” We’re always too shy to put into reality the “play by yourself” stuff that has entertained us for so many years, and let them split with us, so that we can no longer just revel in it. And Dick loves it so genuinely that he doesn't even know what's wrong with acting out of it. This is less casual. Beyond that, what can we say? What could be more moving than doing the most ridiculous and simple things with complete seriousness?

I laughed completely, probably because the film made a complete teenager. Just like some absurd dreams of adults laughing at children, on the one hand, the latter is too naive, and on the other hand, the former can no longer be realized.

Dear Wendy quotes

  • [Huey has just shot Marshall Walker in the head]

    Huey: Officer d-d-down, I'm afraid!

  • Dick Dandelion: The Regulations are, that the most important thing for a Dandy is never to show off his partner, whatever the provocation. We carry them as moral supports. And that's the most important thing. They may be carried, but never brandished. That would be the worst thing of all.

    [contiunes as voice-over narrative]

    Dick Dandelion: Not one of us were in doubt about the most important thing of all. The reason why our partners could only be fired in the darkness of the old mine and could never be exposed to full light and thereby be woken up. Because once awoken nothing could stop them from following their true nature and killing. And it was so forbidden to say that word, that we called it "loving" instead. And "loving" could never ever happen because that would be the end of it all.
