If growth is a price, is it okay not to grow?

I watched two puberty films recently, both were high school students, one was ?B, and the other was a rebel without a reason. The two films have different youth pain points, but in the end, the protagonists have both completed their growth and transformation. It's just that the price of B is two dogs, and the price of rebellion is two human lives. There is no distinction between the high and the low here, but I just feel heartfelt: Most people's growth path is made of asphalt at the cost of certain things, leaving unforgettable tears as cement on this road, such a road does not It's not what we hoped, but what can we do? Eagles have to shed their feathers twice before they can fly, and people have the same goal.

    I fell asleep twice. Dean's appearance is set as a troubled youth, often self-tortured and decadent. It looks very painful. Their family has moved many times, and their father is weak. Dean met a little sister and a friend through the police station, in order to win the little sister. Compared with the young man on the road, he fell to his death. The brothers on the road sought revenge for Dean, and his friend killed one by mistake. In the final confrontation with the police, Dean stood up and asked the police to calm down. As a result, his friend lost control and rushed to the police with a gun and was shot dead. Dean shouted, "The bullet is in my hand!" His father was at the scene and misunderstood and died. It's Dean who's gone - are these father and son mentally retarded? The way the characters are written in the whole film is inexplicable. The dialogue seems to be pasted from a domestic youth magazine such as "Life Sixteen Seven". . Photography is also limited by the equipment, with awkward movement of the lens, and the color palette is dim (too much contrast with their silly dialogue). The main story seems to have the temperament of a Hong Kong film, but the rhythm is very slow, and there is a tendency to be non-dramatic - this is basically the reason why the manual sent this film so much.

    The police station scheduling at the beginning is very beautiful, and the rest of the exquisite clips abound. The portrayal of "the generation that lost its father" reminds me of the discussion about the fifth generation of directors. What's the point of rebelling if it's just to restore order?
