At that time, my diary was just flooding floods, raging flames, painful cries combined with carnival screams, fantasy hopes loomed like mirages, self-esteem anger chained with self-arrogance rampant.
The adolescence of Chinese literati, even if there is a big riot, it is just to vent their temper on paper. After I got used to watching Japanese and Taiwanese movies and felt that youth should be boys playing small troubles and girls hurting spring and autumn, I suddenly felt that the chivalry spirit we once swore was so out of date, excessive release provokes right and wrong and exhausted both body and mind. But I have long forgotten that those hyperactive hormones gradually lose their function under self-suppression. The dream of the bursting elements that I wanted to realize was cut off by myself. The so-called flood and wave, the death of the sky, and the final ten The tail of a few years faded away, and the glorious years were just ink stains on paper or mud after rain, turning into emotions in tears.
The escape band Kimfly introduced his members like this:
lead singer and keyboardist Cherie Currie, cherry bomb, sexy kitten, Brigitte Bardot in the trailer park.
Guitarist Joan Jett, the core of rock and roll, street brunette strong woman.
Drummer Sandy West, Miss California with a connector in his mouth and a chip on his shoulder.
Daughter of guitarist Lita Ford, Sofia Loren and Ritchie Blackmore. You don't want to mess her up.
Robin Robins is super smart, which makes her bass sound particularly good.
Because I don't want to agree with others, because each has a heart that is open to infinity. They came together under the banner of rock and roll, and played for only one emotion in the age when dreams were exuberant. Whether before or after being commercialized, they have always had pure dreams, longing for rock and roll, longing for the stage and spotlight, longing for music and publishing, and it might be better to become famous in one fell swoop. They are the first successful female rock band, subverting tradition, creating legends, and leading the American music scene as a female leader. Some people say that this film is very pornographic and violent, full of sexual fantasies, marijuana, alcohol and gays. But I think its deep level has the clarity, trust and enthusiasm that is unique to 15-year-old children. It's very silly and naive. But in the end, the disbanding of the runaway band was also due to this kind of silly and naive, the agent’s distorted hype, the entanglement of drugs and alcohol, and the concern of family members made Cherie Currie’s original curiosity so satisfying, and her life was gradually reversed. When ideals run counter to the band's philosophy, everyone shuts down for her, and the band's contradictions escalate, and in the end it ends up unhappy.
Cherie Currie went to the supermarket to buy alcohol after leaving the band, but was still refused to show her ID. Regardless of her appearance or her psychology, she is still a minor. Walking on the wild roads exposed to the sun, the grassless ground evaporates a kind of despair after abandonment. But at this moment, Starry, starry night sounded in his ears. The warm night tune instantly disrupted Cherie Currie's life trajectory that she believed should be followed. She seemed to return to the origin of 15 years old, not taking drugs or going to nightclubs, listening to Vincent for a night, and walking on the road to be arranged. , Waiting for a call that a father or mother can't make. In the bones, she is quiet, Cherie Currie is ultimately not the one who can walk into rock and stick to it, or the child who matures in an instant under the forcible packaging of the agent. It's just under the confusion of adolescence that gave birth to the first love for rock and roll, and the first love often ended in a hasty betrayal. At the end, Joan Jett had a relatively perfect ending, while Cherie Currie became herself without makeup. Some people say that it feels abrupt and very different from reality, but I think it's just because Cherie Currie ran too fast, and Joan Jett knew how to stop. There is no losing or winning on the road of rock and roll. Whether you insist on it or not depends on the right time and place and personal practice. It is extremely splendid. However, if you have had a noble chivalry spirit, you are willing to take the lead in the long march. Even if you are not in the arena, you can sit and have a sword in your heart.
In the first half of the film, I have been questioning Dakota Fanning's acting skills. The image of a good girl has always been deeply rooted. It even feels that she shouldn't take on such a role from the beginning, which is somewhat grandiose. She on the poster reminds me of Taylor Momsen. But after seeing it, Dakota Fanning's skilled acting skills were still reflected. She showed Cherie Currie's complex heart and emotional separation in place. Compared with Joan Jett's unwillingness to hesitate, her hesitating decisiveness highlighted the 15-year-old girl. His true heart will stop because of the involvement, and because the love is not thorough enough, will the road be bumpy. In contrast, I admire Kristen Stewart's acting very much, the rock core Joan Jett, unworried, solitary, black hair, eye shadow, leather pants, electric guitar. Contrary to rock frankness, live only for music. This is her original intention of rock and roll that has never wavered. She just feels that she is still timid in front of emotions, concealing her sexual orientation, which is not in line with her character, or that she is also dazzled by love, whether she loves people more or loves music more. Some people say that she is Natalie Portman's successor. How many people fancy her the same aura as Natalie, but in terms of plasticity, she far surpasses Natalie. In real life, she is also a person with personality. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is acting in her true colors, but compared with the stubborn girl Bella in the twilight, she suddenly feels that her acting skills are extraordinary.
The film fully presents the whole process of The Runaways from assembling to disbanding. Completed the mission of general biographical movies. The film is adapted from Cherie Currie's autobiography, so it becomes the protagonist. But Kristen's excellent acting skills and Joan Jett's own help to the runaway band and Cherie blurred the main line of the movie. The influence of the agent Kimfley's over-mature packaging on the band's establishment, positioning and fame to dissolution also accounted for a dollar in the film. Let the fate of the band be tied to the hands of three people at the same time, which is somewhat chaotic. Fortunately, in the performance of the character of Cherie, the desire and ambition that was swollen from the beginning, was later restrained by the beloved family, and finally returned to the original simple and gorgeous series, making the daunting rock theme of the film become cordial and pleasant. . The return of her girlish nature is in sharp contrast with Joan Jett's never-giving up hardcore style, and the two rock personalities are appropriately achieved between the electric light and flint. Goth and death. The director used psychedelic visual colors and intensely different sound effects to package the film into a rock-and-roll style from beginning to end. The endless cherry bomb circulated repeatedly, which is easy to release but difficult to release.
When they named the runaway band, they couldn't foresee the ending of their disbandment. Maybe it's because they can't foresee, so they want to escape.
If I were born in the United States in the 70s, I think I would be crazy for them.
