The details of the rough stone, if you don't polish it for a day, you can't see it clearly. Talking about ideals, looking for change, empty words and no action, can't see the possibility of oneself at all. Only by walking through it can you know what is most important to you.
"Roller Youth", which bears the name of the team of "Teenage Pregnancy", is not expected to be disappointed if it does not enter the stage. She delicately described the growing feelings and troubles of young girls, the constant contradictions between parents and children, and gave universal value a head-scratching, both rational and reflective. It's a pity that the talk of love is superfluous. Not only does the musician suddenly become the only villain in the movie, but it also helps the heroine go from eager to independent. But looking back slowly, I seldom see Ellen acting in love than Zhi, and this performance is more daring and unusual (at least for me, the enthusiasm of the two of them in the swimming pool is like a sudden flashbang, except for panic, there is no any reaction), admiring her young yet dramatic acting skills.
If you don't try, you'll never know. The movie did not explain why she fell in love with roller skating, but only a paragraph about how she saw some avant-garde girls, venting their hearts out on the runway, moving forward regardless of what to do. Of course, the difference between the day and night of the roller skating interpretation, as well as on and off the field, not only confirmed the city life she was eager to live in, but also surprised her that the possibilities of people were so limitless. Meeting her growing up longing for rebellion, it can be said that they hit it off. Like when we were young, she didn't know herself very well, but she tried to explore, hoping to find the right direction in the river through unexpected travels.
We all suddenly have things we want to accomplish, but because of studies, entertainment, and love, we unconsciously put them aside and give ourselves thousands of excuses. We just live in the present moment, covet pleasure and don’t want to try, we just keep repeating “I can’t do it” in our hearts, comforting our weak self, and the hidden strength is also hiding in the cave in this life. The movie describes the heroine's hard training, while also taking into account the family burden of school, work and beauty pageants. Isn't that what it means to live? The only way to practice this is to keep trying. For example, it is said in the film that it is not too late to find your own field even if you are over 30 years old, at least you have found it.
The film deliberately talks about beauty pageants and roller skating, two ideologies of one positive and one negative, which is a stark contrast between the contradictions between parents and children. Parents should not consider the lintel of the clan in order to fulfill their responsibilities, avoid making the same mistakes as one, and fulfill their ideals for themselves. The mother hopes that her daughter will continue her ideals and participate in various beauty pageants. However, her daughter is obsessed with tattoos that represent wine, and in short, bad roller skating, and even reports one by one. In fact, our parents have no faults and rich experience. They just want us to act according to universal values and get a bright future. However, as children, we are not allowed to have the same idea. Instead, we will question what universal values are and why we should follow them. . In the end, is it to challenge social norms, or just parents? When a person is young, he always loves challenges, keeps his own feet, and fears that he is just an indifferent bystander.
The film deliberately arranges the difference between the image of roller skating before and after, but also to bring out the universal value, we should all treat the unknown things fairly and openly, and give them a chance. In the first half of the movie, roller skating is deliberately described as a very violent sport, and the participants are also from three mountains and five mountains, which is not serious. However, in the second half, as the heroine and her teammates became familiar with each other, they learned that she was approachable and approachable, and forgave her for falsely reporting her age. In fact, calling roller skating bad is nothing but an invisible illusion in society. Therefore, parents firmly oppose it. It is purely due to the current situation. Maybe it will do the same.” We shouldn’t go against our parents for some trivial things, complicate things and simplify things. When they are enemies, we should reflect on how to gain the trust of our parents and take action to change them.
It’s normal to put it in society, and how others evaluate it will have its own interpretation. If we let go of this and give up, it will not be a negative example for the wrong interpretation of the generation, and it will become a footnote for their nonsense criticism. ? In the face of social injustice, what we need to do is to fight the battle calmly, face the real enemy, and set our sights firmly on our ideals.
Like "Teenage Pregnancy", this work is also aimed at the so-called inherent concept. Both of them talk about the rebellious behavior of teenagers that seems to be whimsical. They have been given the notoriety of "juvenile problem" a priori, so that ideals are often turned into mob. How to interpret it is their private decision. The fact is that many young people, like the two films, and even Ellen Bige in "The Families", have ideas, dreams, and actions. As the movie poster says, "Be your own hero", believe in yourself and discover yourself.
