If you haven't finished writing it yet, keep writing it slowly.

Watching it again after 8 years, the previous 3 star movie, gave 5 stars again. I may have to write a long review for this, please forgive me.

8 years ago in Lily Zhou, I only saw the cruel youth in the legend, too dark, slow pace, unbearable, giving 3 stars has been very kind. And so many years have passed, I have to blushing to avoid saying anything about youth. In the past few years, I have watched too many slow-paced literary films, and even went to Media University, and systematically learned a lot of film knowledge , look back and see too many things that I hadn't seen before. The feeling was like being slapped hard by Jiang Wen. He said, "It's not that you can't see it, it's that you can't understand it."


I have to admit that Lily Zhou was the first literary film I consciously watched. Now it seems that at that ignorant age when I can't even read "Miura Yu and I'm going to kill you" and just learned to jerk off, Na Li Li Zhou, as an enlightenment textbook, is really a bit too difficult. Literary films have to be chewy. The teacher in the university asked us to use Paris I love you to write lens analysis. I watched a film frame by frame 50 times, and still scratched my head and racked my brains. A director who knows how to play will bury what he wants to say the most. Shunji Iwai is very smart. He uses cruel youthful gimmicks and beautiful pictures as armor, tightly wrapping his themes, and then disrupting his narrative logic with jumping editing techniques and flashing subtitles (doing this). It will directly lead to difficulties for the audience to understand. A buddy of mine who was deeply affected by this editing method was directly fired from the TV station). Shunji Iwai's doing this is a bit excessive, but fortunately, looking at his film works, Lily Zhou is a heterogeneous and experimental type. He did not continue to implement this narrative style like those experimental film directors, or even intensified and embarked on a lonely path. The eternal road of no return. It can be guessed here that when a director who is not ignorant of human fireworks submits his work, the response he gets is cruel and youthful, and the psychological gap will definitely make him give up some too sharp and radical ideas, such as Lily Zhou of Iwai. , such as Jiang Wen's sun rises as usual, such as Peng Haoxiang's "The world is the world of all people" (I know I don't want to say it, but I want to say it, everyone can't understand what I say, I will give you a bad review after eating tiger pie) ….

To make matters worse, Lily Zhou's popularity in China originated from the prose works of a young novelist. Therefore, Lily Zhou and the controversial author are closely associated with the audience. Sadly, the person who wrote the book is actually sad. At the age of writing, from the clues that can be read in the book, it can be judged that he actually only saw the shell of "cruel youth", which made everyone who came to see Lily Zhou with a preconceived theme orientation. I am also one of the victims, but I can't shirk the responsibility. After all, at that age, I only knew cruel youth.

A good work must have rich content, complex emotions, and three-dimensional angles. Just like when a little kid asks you whether Professor Snape is a good person or a bad person, it is difficult for you to give him a red or a red one. The feeling of Bai's answer (of course you can be that brat too). That's why "Huangyan Island Family Letter" has received international acclaim and "Tunnel Warfare" has only one red song that is about to be forgotten. Those conscience-winning and nominated works in the Nobel Prize for Literature have such a common feature. To put it bluntly, if anyone tells me a one-sided truth in a 100,000-word or 120-minute movie, it is either mentally retarded or paranoid.


Well, now you're going to make a rich, complex, three-dimensional movie. But you suddenly realize that every product of artistic creation, whether it is painting, sculpture, architecture, or film, has one and only one refined title, so you have to summarize what you want to express, of course, it can also be like té. In that way, taking the song name as ""Sound のzhong の "Spasmodic" な美は, 観観をSuper え flesh に interview れ る Wild の 戦 Chestnut "" is simply to help you summarize the central idea, or like Fukkk Offf's album "Love Me Hate" "Me Kiss Me Kill Me" told you everything directly, but you think it's too subtle, so what should you do? Why don't you call it "All About Lily Zhou". Oh, if you just want to shoot some cruel youth, it's better to call it "Battle Royale" instead of "All About Cruel Youth".


There are two narrative methods that can create confusion in people's minds. The first is to fragment and symbolize several different stories and put them together to tell you an argument, such as "Cloud Atlas", such as "I 'm Not There", for example, the fourth brain-abuse short film in "Genius Party 2" is a brain atomic bomb; while the second is relatively common, telling you a story and telling you a few arguments, brain-abusing The index is slightly weaker, such as Shutdown Island, such as horror live broadcast, such as Lily Zhou.


Everything about Lily Zhou, since it is everything, it means that it is difficult to summarize, only Iwai Shunji is too greedy, there is too much to say about Lily Zhou.


The first thing to say is the most obvious and straightforward theme in the film, called "killing idols".


Then there is the more interesting layer of content, "ether" and "money".


Finally, a point that cannot be ignored, "social blindness" and "minority"
