This classic of film history in the 1950s, which reflected the psychological problems of young people, was translated as "The True Story of A Fei" when it was released in Hong Kong. Perhaps 35 years later, Wong Kar-wai's "The True Story of A Fei" also drew lessons from it. What the film shows is how bad the situation will be for teenagers who are "abandoned" by adults without a family education environment with extremely positive views and a social environment that is good at and enthusiastic persuasion. Although the ending of the tragedy is expected, what is more tragic is the sense of powerlessness that runs through the whole body. Under the extremely fast-paced and tense plot, it will take you back to your teenage years. I know most people know how to become a parent through piston sports or tech medicine, but there must be many people who don't know how to be a good parent. First-time parents are the same as first-time children. Confused.
The word "Afei" originated from Shanghai in the 1920s. At that time, there was a river called Yangjingbang, which was located between the public concession and the French concession. It has now been filled into a road, and the word "Afei" is derived from The so-called "Yangjing Bang English" - that is, broken Chinese English without formal English education, mixing the local language with English vocabulary. Locals and foreigners have the idea of faster communication, and both sides acquiesced in the formation and development of "Yangjing Bang English". "Old Kele", "Red-headed Asan", "Afei" and so on are all "Yangjing Bang English" handed down at that time, and Afei combines Chinese "A" and "fly" in English words Or the pronunciation of the initials in "fit". Because Americans have a habit of describing unpopular local hooligans as "fly" flies, and it is also said that at dance parties, shy girls will say the word "fit" to the boy they like. With the promotion of people's habits, "Rogue Ah Fei" has become synonymous with rogue teenagers who dress stylishly and behave frivolously.
The film tells the story of Jimmy, a high school student, who is always in trouble, and Jimmy's parents choose to keep moving away from these troubles. At the new school, Jimmy meets Judy, a girl who likes to hang out with a bunch of punk students, and Prato, a boy from a wealthy family who is excluded from the crowd. Jimmy's rebelliousness was targeted and provoked by Buzz, the top gangster in the school. After the switchblade test, he agreed to jump off the cliff, and Buzz died. Jimmy, Judy, and Prato escape to an abandoned villa above the observatory, while Buzz's accomplices catch up to trouble Jimmy...
The three extremely lonely children all come from three unhealthy families: Jimmy's parents never resolve anything but endless moving and arguing; Judy's father embarrassed and angrily distanced his daughter from her because she was entering puberty. He even kept using "slut humiliation" to control her; one of Prato's parents died early and the other disappeared for many years, and they only relied on sending money to gain a sense of existence. Not only are teenagers not well-guided in their transition to adulthood at the beginning of their development, but even their parents are not well-qualified to be qualified parents. Self-righteous love and financial support cannot replace the companionship of spiritual communication. This is not only a degenerate history of lonely teenagers, but also a typical example of unqualified parents’ illustrations and the lack of social care for the physical and mental development of teenagers.
The film takes place in one day and two nights. On the first night, three teenagers who were drunk, ran away from home, and shot small animals met in the Youth Bureau. On the second night, two people were killed and one injured. situation. After seeking help from adults to no avail, the indifference of the police station and the recklessness of the police lead to the final tragedy. Schools that seem to have nothing to do with themselves are frivolous and only teach knowledge but not life. Parents who seem to be plausible and loud only spend money to move themselves but lose the instinct of love. The police who seem to work hard will only arrest people and kill them. Unable to save, the arrogant-looking teenagers are full of panic and doubts, and have nowhere to vent... The deformed result stems from an abnormal beginning, and adults who have lost the ability to care for others from the bottom of their hearts are the driving force of this evil result force.
In fact, adults who are preparing and are about to become parents should watch this movie and carefully consider whether their personality is fully developed, their mental and behavioral abilities are mature enough to shoulder the heavy responsibility of another life, and whether they have ever obtained True and satisfying love, and I have a way to pass this love on to the next generation. I think parenting should be done carefully and carefully, otherwise it's just lonely and stupid people breeding the next generation of lonely and confused them. Under the soothing explanation of the splendid but distant starry sky, you will complete your lonely and insignificant life.
There is an inseparable word to describe teenagers called "rebellious period". During this period, teachers and parents are simply the chief of all evils. They are decadent, old-fashioned, stupid, vain, and stubborn. Teenagers in this period are in a state of keeping everything Freshness, tiger's ass kicking casually, and the world is gorgeous but constantly confused. This magical feeling makes a child who has too little experience and a fragile mind fall into a whirlpool of constantly flipping minds, while a child who has really grown from a child to an adult. People should remember this difficult and crazy time, and remember to say to their children in the future, "I understand, I know, please believe me and rely on me", I believe that children who hear this sentence will be happy.
In the end, James Dean, the hero in the red jacket and jeans, is so charming, reckless and vulnerable, naive and unreasonable, and one more look at him feels like he's going to get caught up in it. Unfortunately, this seems to be a cursed masterpiece. James Dean who played Jimmy died in a car accident in the same year, the actor who played Judy drowned unexpectedly on the set 26 years later, and the actor who played Prato was killed after 21 years. Passers-by shot and killed on the street, and the three leading actors died in abnormal accidents one after another, casting a cursed haze on the film.
