The sudden cut-off of the screen, the headless BBS message, the swaying and swaying pictures more like DV, and the lack of logic plot settings all make people feel inexplicably combined with crazy depression and despair.
I watched the whole movie on and off a few times, and then started cursing Iwai Shunji for making my otherwise leisurely afternoon time gray. It's just that I always have the habit of rewatching difficult movies, so I clicked play again. Fortunately, this time, many of the elements that originally constituted a barrier to my understanding of the film turned into clues to explore the context. And I was pleasantly surprised to find that some of the almost omissions that suddenly jumped out were the most disturbing.
The Lily Zhou mentioned in the title actually did not actually appear in the film. She is just a singer and people find "ether" in her singing. Lily is the achiever of the ether, and the transparent ether heals those who fear loneliness, long for salvation, and despair for hope.
What is ether? Is it another world? Connected to a different dimension, slowly melting away the pain of the so-called cruel youth. In Lily's singing, people with their buried youth fled quickly, their souls ran wildly, and went into exile to the end of the sky and dusk.
[Lian Jian]
He has always been so quiet and well-behaved, pale to vague and plain. It was so insignificant that it was so scattered that it was impossible to piece together an image that was erratic and thin as a cicada's wings.
Whether it's the face of the family is mutilated, or the sudden change of the best friend to the cruel and ruthless, they all try their best to forbear. Love and hate seem to be absent-minded and absent-minded. Beneath the cowardly appearance, there are countless tragic pieces mixed with fierceness.
Hasumi's world seems to be cold and tasteless. Love and abandonment are all related to time. Perhaps only in the dazzling green fields, with Lily's singing in his ears, and the quiet and silent rhythm, was he as calm as he seemed.
[Hoshino]
No one would have thought that this delinquent teenager who is lazy and rude, who fights and intimidates, and who coerces girls to take nude photos to help them communicate with each other, used to have excellent grades in school and was the pride of teachers and parents, right?
Having a family that others envy is not only good in homework, but also the first in the marathon. The sudden and huge transformation of the quiet and refined young man like jade is unbelievable. Sudden power seemed to gather from fingertips, hair... all the tips of the body, filling up the original lazy and ignorant body, like a beast at the end of hibernation, with strength coming out from under the snow.
Confused, vague, uncertain, wandering in the dark, spitting out heart-shaped smoke rings over and over again. He was cold and calm, as if everything was just a game for him. A friend, a former crush, is just one of the contestants.
While hurting others, is it not hurting yourself in disguise?
If you can love like you have never been hurt, hug each other tightly to keep your fingers warm, even if you can't see the light of the sky, if you can't wait for white lilac flowers to bloom on the wounded eggplant, you can still feel the polar the warm light, right? Does youth have to end in darkness to be considered complete?
【Tsuda】
"Why refuse, he can protect you! He will definitely declare war on Hoshino, and he can finally escape from Hoshino's clutches..." "
You protect me!" "You think if you change If you become a fat man, will you not have to work or get a mohawk haircut?" Forced to be a social-assisting girl, shredding the money exchanged for her body, jumping into the filthy river to soak her body, The desire for cleanliness has never been stronger. If the filthy edge of the river is a vertical cliff at the end of the world, is it liberating? "Don't worry, Kuno-san is very strong." Youth's secret body disappeared around the corner, weak and powerless. She is not as strong as Kuno and longs to be rescued and protected, but Hasumi, whom she likes, has never even thought of resisting, right? "I want to get on a kite" "I really want to fly to the sky." Tsuda, who longed for the sky, could only fall in the field in the end. With too much hope of prosperity, all you see is the desolation of the world
【Kuno】
She is a good piano player, but she was shoved out by girls who were jealous of her during the chorus.
She, who was supposed to be the protagonist, stood abruptly outside the crowd on the stage.
In the warehouse, raped by the boys in the class. It was Hoshino, who liked her, who instructed everything, and Hasumi, another boy who liked him, tricked her into the warehouse.
When everyone thought she would not be there, he walked into the classroom, straightened the lid of the pot, and looked calm.
Don't dare to be stared at... strong.
She is every clear summer, a gentle, small but important existence. Like the polar light in the dark, the whole body shines, attracting you to stop.
Pain and dark fragments always seem to be the main theme of youth. Since they are destined to be hurt, why can't they warm each other up. The more lonely and lack of warmth, the more warmth you have to give to others. Mixed in the dark, light is also refracted by the obstruction of the prism, so that a rainbow can appear in a dark room, so love can also be transmitted in a special way, right?
