Cherrybomb,
without a doubt, this is a movie that I will like very much. First of all, this is a movie that reproduces my favorite female hardcore band The Runaways. Secondly, the film about the theme of blurred and rebellious youth is one of my favorites. Finally, I have filmed many classic MVs for Malin Manson. The female director Floria Sigismondi directed this film. The three heavyweights came together and ignited my love for this movie. I paid attention to it before it was released. Of course, this "rock movie" actually focused on Hollywood's two major newcomer actresses-Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning, one known to everyone in the world and loved by vampires and werewolves. Female high school student, one is a blonde and sunny little Lolita who is very popular among Chinese movie fans. And the responsibility of this film is to completely subvert the image of the two people in the past, not to subvert the domineering attitude of madness to death, which is too fascinating.
The Runaways, the first American female hardcore rock band founded in the 70s, apart from their music and low sales, they are full of sex, drugs, foul language, meatballs...a few little loli under 16 years old Lolita, who is troubled by a perverted uncle, is very bad and evil. The flirty and sexy image of tight underwear, leather shorts, stockings, garters and various indecent provocative actions successfully aroused most male hormones. Unexpectedly, this girl rock band, which is not based on music itself, has been recorded in the annals of rock music and aroused women's desire for rock and roll. Dirty girl! I heard and saw the songs and MVs of the runaway band again, until I saw this film, I remembered who didn't "bad" once when he was young? Which woman has never been a bad girl before? Have you been rebellious so many times, have been frivolous so many times?
So the film raised the middle finger to people all over the world, raised its head high, walked through the dust of time, and led the bad boys who once had such a "rock music" publicity and rebellious youth, looking back at their own In the past, that lost youth, with a strong retro atmosphere, just like The Runaways's famous song Cherrybomb, arrogantly and domineeringly declared to the world that once, once, I was also your cherry bomb! The black eyeliner was drawn, and during the years of entangled youth, he jumped and vented his dissatisfaction, so he was frozen in the corner of the misty bar at the band's performance.
I want to say that I used to be so obsessed with punk rock, does anyone believe it? I want to say, I used to drew black eyeliner and wore ripped jeans and tight leather clothes to jump at every band performance. Does anyone believe it? I want to say that the 17-year-old I was once obsessed with a bass player, his moxi dry head, his leather pants and the orange on his boots. Also, the former me also used pills to vent my youthful dissatisfaction in exchange for an illusion. The girl who painted black nails and wore big old-school thorns on her wrists was also active in that little rock and roll dreamland.
Don't ask me, do you know what rock is? Don't ask me if you have any rock and roll beliefs in TMD. You, a 17-year-old boy in the past, you know what a fart. Regarding the definition of rock and roll, some people think that rock is a kind of music. The Beat generation uses this to vent their emptiness and soul. Some people think that rock music is just a kind of inelegant rubbish. Rock music is a god to worship, it is a spirit, a personality, or a utopian world. The disbandment of a band and the collapse of a rock star mark the end of an era. Some people are crazy about rock music, and some people have become rich and prosperous. Some people have become masters, and some people are just a dust forgotten in the history of rock and roll...Or, rock and roll must be associated with sex, drugs and corruption, and I don’t object to it. Because, I don't want to explain to anyone what rock is, or I don't understand. I only understand that rock music represents a period of my youth in the past. What time has changed. Now this person who loves old jazz records was a fan of PUNK before. God, what else is crazier than time has changed everything? ? Now, what else can you do besides remembering the past? It's just that the appearance of such a movie is like an old cigarette lighter. It was too hard and too hot and almost went off. I took a puff of the cigarette, and the smell of marijuana came out of it. It was too vague and illusory. It turns out that youth is just a dreamlike life course. You take a deep breath, and you are choked by Ye Zi to yell at your mother, and then after the hypnotic nerve is paralyzed, only the years of laughter and catharsis are left.
In fact, the film is not a pure rock movie with serious standards and connotations. I prefer to think of this film as a youth segment of a female hardcore band that once existed and was all the rage. Compared with the performance and explanation of rock music, this film is more in the form of non-biopic, telling the process of the two core characters of the girl band, Joan and Cherie, who grew up, met, and lost themselves in chaos and depravity following the band. , Until the end of the band fell apart. Joan said that rock music is her life, and Cherie said she just wanted to go home to be with her family. A woman is still struggling for the ideal of rock and roll. In various touring performances, a woman has now become a normal woman who is fat and pregnant. In the days of The Runaways, the passion of rehearsing in the smoky RV, and the immature faces under the spotlight, have now become the most important and forever engraved iconic fragments of these women for their youth.
Isn’t it true that the rebellious youth must belong to rock music? I can't answer this question. Is there always a girl who wears messy clothes and has experienced a erosive life prematurely, so that the inherent image can express and explain the rebellion of youth? Or it can be said that when she was a teenager, which girl was unwilling to make an evil and charming cherry bomb? I can't answer this question either. I think everyone has their own rebellious youthful episodes that are different from others, but they also have the same emotional experience. And the film uses the story of a female hardcore band to declare to the world that it was an indisputable time. Undoubtedly, you and me are also in the eyes of the world, which makes people headache and hate but evil and tender." Cherry Bomb".
