"Summer King": Remembering the naughty things

Milo 2022-03-23 09:02:06

Three 15-year-old boys who were frustrated at school and at home inevitably came together. In order to find the greatest joy in life, the three escaped from the secular society, defected to nature, and unbridled their inexhaustible rebellious energy. Running wild in the grass, running through the woods, frolicking in the shallow lake, shouting in the sun, fearful not to kill the prey, knocking on the drainpipe, dancing improvisationally... The humble wooden hut becomes the perfect place for three people to hide. The good days are not long. After the beautiful girl who leads the wolf into the room joins, an old-fashioned plot of a bad face is staged, which brings the whole indulgent fairy tale to an end. Each was angry and went back to his own house, but unfortunately the built hut was kicked off half of the wall.

The film is directed by Jordan Vogt-Roberts, a TV drama director who likes to be funny Moises Arias' quirkiness, especially that drainpipe dance, is fresh in my memory. The film was nominated for a Grand Jury Award at the Sundance Film Festival and ultimately won the Audience Award at the American Film Institute's Dallas International Film Festival. It shows that under the attack of various commercial feces and farts, American Xiaoqing also has a professional status that is respected by Xiaoxiao.

This film is different from the cruel loneliness of "Wild Survival". It is very green, very pure, and very sunny. It is just a fun story of three people playing together. The bridge section of building the log cabin reminded me of the experience of building a house with bricks in other people's yard with a group of playmates when I was a teenager. Although the final house can only accommodate three or two people, I have to climb in. Bend over and stay, the fun was unparalleled. In the end, the happiest time in my life ended because of the fire in the room to burn food, and it was not until everyone was smoked away. The film expresses the similar juvenile fun, and also adds a little growth story of "Those Years". In the end, everyone returned to their normal lives, adding to their extraordinary teenage memories. If you are still a teenager with a pure heart, this film will definitely make you find a sense of indulgence. You must do homework and dogmatism. Forget all, and have a sleep with three swinging boys. Come to the natural awakening of youthful sleep!
