First of all, we must talk about the issue of fusion. It's very simple: the film is made well, the quality is high, and I will never give it one star. At the same time, if Keigo Higashino wants to sue the "Youth of You" crew, I agree with both hands. If the court decides that plagiarism is established, the higher the box office of "Youth of You", the more money it will pay to Keigo Higashino, which can be regarded as supporting the rights and interests of the original creator.
The quality of the movie is handed over to the scoring, and the plagiarism is handed over to the law.
Don't cross the standard, that's torturing the average audience. I could just sit in the movie theater and watch a movie quietly, but I was forced to do a moral multiple-choice question first? If the audience is so omnipotent, and lynching is so omnipotent, what should the judge do?
I regard this film as Keigo Higashino's "spiritual work", and I think its spiritual attribution belongs to Keigo Higashino. But I can't give it one star. I too understand the power and difficulty of "execution". People who have never worked in the field always overestimate the value of creativity and grossly underestimate the value of execution. Counting this one, I've seen three versions of "The Devotion of Suspect X", but in my heart, Zeng Guoxiang shot Keigo Higashino's highest level. If I were Keigo Higashino, I would definitely feel extremely relieved and call the lawyer at the same time: Let me sue.
At the same time, I am skeptical about the concept of "melting stalks". Should "Stalk" have the same copyright? I have worked in an industry that is very focused on patents, and the very concept of patents is quite controversial. Patents exist to encourage originality, but overprotection of patents can hurt originality. All laws and institutions seek a balance between the two. Patents are only protected by law for 20 years, because over-protection of patents will make the person who created the patent fall asleep on the credit, and the entire market will lose its original motivation and vitality. Similarly, if the "stalk" is overprotected, as long as a person creates a stalk in his work, he can monopolize all similar stalks, and later people will find that the place where they can get their feet is getting smaller and smaller, which is also not conducive to originality.
Finally, the controversy over the fusion of stalks in "Youth of You" is a reverse indicator for me. In the past few years, there have been too many bad works on the market. The rhythm is out of control and it has fallen into dullness. The big heroine is really in love and false inspiration. Ignoring the logic of the story and overdrawing the charm of the protagonist will only be sweet and sweet...
I watched the movie two weeks later than it was released, but when I saw that the biggest black spot in the film review was the fusion of stalks, I took a reassurance: this movie should be well done, and there are not too many other faults to pick.
Why didn't Chen Nian call the police after his head was shaved to take nude photos?
Going back to the movie itself, there is an argument that what moved you in "Youth as a Teenager" was "school bullying" rather than the movie itself.
It's funny, if the movie itself is not well made, the audience will only think that it spoils the subject of school bullying, not that school bullying moved me. If the film is not well done, I will only feel that "it's like sitting on pins and needles, like thorns on the back" and "with shallow brushstrokes, it resonates widely" and I won't be moved by "school bullying" at all.
What I admire most is that "Youth as a Younger" captures the essence of campus bullying, and all presentations are moving and localized. Look at it one by one:
Why didn't Chen Nian call the police after his head was shaved to take nude photos?
This is actually the question in the title "Why did Lin Pingzhi not report to the official after the Fuwei Escort was destroyed?"
Some people say that this is a logical bug, but this is precisely where the description of "school bullying" is most vivid. Not because Chen Nian was stupid, but because she realized it was useless. Because under the circumstances at the time, even if the police and schools were fair, they were still useless—because the government could not solve the problems of the rivers and lakes.
1. If you report to the police and report to the school and teachers, you may incur retaliation and secondary harm. It ends up being unlimited damage and competition. If bad people give up so easily, they are not bad people. Mastering the stick, but aiming for the yard. People who are bullied are at a disadvantage, often because they are civilized and have a bottom line. Just like Chen Nian in the movie, she cannot and is unwilling to devote infinite energy to fighting the villains. She has to take the college entrance examination, and she has her own life. And there are so many people who bully her, they are willing to go out. If Chen Nian calls the police again, she will definitely fall into infinite harm and dismantling.
2. The world of teenagers is a river and lake. There is an unwritten rule in it, and the affairs of the rivers and lakes are resolved in the rivers and lakes. Everyone hopes to solve students' problems by means of students, and everyone despises to varying degrees those who solve problems through the power of teachers/parents. If Chen Nian calls the police again, her social status will fall further. The "point" damage caused by a few villains to her may further become the "face" damage caused by the contempt of all her classmates.
3. The most important thing is that the way parents, teachers, and police deal with problems can only be rigid and cut-off. But the problem of school bullying is like a ghost, it is attached, like a ghost chasing a soul. Teenagers, especially those who bully, are outwardly submissive but internally resistant to the punishments that the adult world punishes them. Wei Lai in the movie restores this very accurately. When she was punished by an adult, was her reaction really "the punishment is so serious, I don't dare anymore"? of course not. Her reaction was a grin on the surface, MMP on the inside. So the more the adult world punishes school bullying, the more it stimulates their rebellious pleasure. Her next bullying will not only be the victimization of the bullied person, but also the dissatisfaction and retaliation against the punishment of the entire adult world.
4. What Chen Nian and all the bullied people need is not "Wei Lai, you hit me, and I'm going to use the fist of an adult to hit you back." What Chen Nian wants is, "I want to settle this matter, I want my normal life." But even if the mother loves Chen Nian in the movie, the teacher thinks she is doing the right thing, and the police are on Chen Nian's side, they can't do it. to this point. Chen Nian chose Xiaobei precisely because of all the help the adult world gave her, at most she could only punch her back with one more punch, and at the same time lead to the next counterattack. On the contrary, Xiaobei, who is also a teenager, is more rogue, more gangster, and more inseparable than the bully in the movie. Only Xiaobei can prescribe the right medicine and help her settle things.
Therefore, when the Fuwei Escort Bureau was destroyed in the north, Lin Pingzhi could not report to the official. If he reports to the official, he will be despised by the whole world, he will expose himself to anger the Qingcheng faction, and he will be further persecuted by the Qingcheng faction. .
So despite the vastness of the sky, Lin Pingzhi had only one choice - to join the same people in the arena and join the even more rogue Huashan faction.
Is the Huashan faction a good person? of course not. But only the Huashan faction can protect Lin Pingzhi with the same power as a rogue but recognized by the rivers and lakes.
You're being bullied not because you've done anything wrong, just because you're a low pressure zone.
Why is Chen Nian the one being bullied? Doesn't she study well? Isn't she not provoking right and wrong?
Others say it's a story bug, but that's where the brilliance comes in. The target of campus bullying is not a person who has done wrong, not a person with bad studies, or a person with problems of her own. She is bullied only because she is a low-pressure area in the social environment.
Low-pressure areas in the teenage world are amazing. Think back to your school life, and you can definitely recall several low-pressure areas.
People who like to be alone, and who do not have strong iron girlfriends and iron buddies are prone to become low-pressure areas.
People who don't like to cause trouble are prone to form low pressure areas.
People who look pitiful, or are squeamish and useless, are prone to form low-pressure areas.
People with negative family backgrounds are prone to form low-pressure areas.
Those who offend powerful campus characters, are challenged by powerful campus characters, and fail to catch the challenge are prone to form low-pressure areas.
In fact, there is nothing wrong with these people and victims, but as long as the above conditions are met, she will become a low pressure area. And Chen Nian is all in line, and Zhou Dongyu's interpretation is also completely in line.
As long as Chen Nian's character stands, Wei Lai's character design becomes simpler. Many voices say that Wei Lai's characters are flat. But I personally think that the flatter Wei Lai's character is, the better, because I don't need to understand her psychology at all and why she wants to bully. The truth is that anyone with a higher air pressure than her is a potential bully as long as a low pressure area forms. They do not need a complicated mental process, the wind knife and frost sword scrape from the high pressure area to the low pressure area, destroying the dry and pulling the rot, but it is very smooth, like a natural phenomenon. Many people have already responded that the people who bullied themselves back then actually learned very well. Wei Lai's character design doesn't need to make sense, because the real bully doesn't make sense when he inflicts harm.
In "Harry Potter" James Potter is the president of the Gryffindor Student Union and a Quidditch superstar, while Snape is a Slytherin master, "Half-Blood Prince". What did Snape do wrong? What's up with James Potter? James Potter had no motive to justify him and bullied Snape just because he didn't like him. Maybe even stripped his pants in front of many people.
Recalling the school bullying in our student days, many times we don't remember who started it. But as long as this wind direction is formed, it seems destined, like a collapsed domino, which cannot be reversed in two or three years.
There was a girl in my middle school class who didn't look good. I don't know who gave her the nickname "Banhua" to mock her. This nickname quickly spread to the whole class. People with good grades said it, people with poor grades also said it, good-looking people said it, and bad-looking people said it. The more she resisted, the more everyone thought the name was really interesting. Until the third year of junior high school, she grew to 1.7 meters and stood slim. Suddenly someone whispered, "She's not that ugly either."
But what can be done? Everyone who has called her class flower is blowing along the air pressure zone. The whole class are sinners, how should they be punished? Who are you going to punish? I remember helping her talk and being immediately joked by the class "Do you like her?" I shut up immediately because I realized that if I continued to help her, I would also be in a low-pressure zone.
The first thirty minutes of the film explain in great detail why Chen Nian became a low pressure area. This is an accurate restoration of campus bullying. The school bullying shown in "Youth of You" is by no means a simple and flat scene of students bullying others. Its description of events is very scrutinized.
Zeng Guoxiang's divine progress: Many people may have overlooked how restrained the lines are in the movie
Although "July and Ansheng" is also above the standard, what I criticize most about this movie is that it is still a large-scale prose poem, and there are too many paragraphs and paragraphs of literary and artistic narration in it. And when it comes to "Youth as a Teenager", the narrative of the entire movie has matured to the point of cherishing ink like gold.
A lot of lens language, strong emotion, so many layers of meaning, amazing. Talk about the two most impressive places:
Chen Nian decided to turn himself in and visited the detained Xiaobei through the glass. I only remembered when I got out of the cinema, and there was not a single line in the whole process. But all the ideology is conveyed through the performance. Chen Nian's side, from cold face, to guilt, to gratitude, to relief, Zhou Dongyu from laughing to crying, laughing and crying again, there are a hundred emotions in each frame. On Xiaobei's side, from puzzlement, to blame, to understanding, to relief... These two people didn't say a word, but their performance completed a whole process of confession and reconciliation. The glass cover flexibly mapped their responses together. It's not a particularly clever technique, but in that situation, with the performance of the two, there are no lines, but all the feelings are conveyed. I think this part is great.
The second place is the scene of the college entrance examination. When this scene was added, the college entrance examination results in the movie had already been announced. But it's a very nice ending. There are also no lines, not even any of the main characters. The college entrance examination papers flashed before my eyes, like the footnotes of all high school students' youth. Movies are the stories of teenagers, and grading the college entrance examination papers is the coming-of-age ceremony for all teenagers, and the composition "To Myself in Twenty Years Later" is the declaration of the coming-of-age ceremony. All the good, the bad, the naive, the absurd, the boyhood, came to an end along with the grading of the college entrance examination essays. This scene was finally fixed in the sealing of the test paper. From this moment on, we wrote down our hopes and sealed them in the time capsule. Turn around and leave the high school campus and become a real adult.
Those who have experienced the college entrance examination will especially understand the infinite subtext in this scene without a single line. The college entrance examination paper, the end of the grading, truly represents the end of the youthful era. At that moment, it turned over. Then, justifiably take over the plot of adulthood.
And I described so many feelings in a large paragraph of text, and the director conveyed it with a line without a word. I really admire it.
Finally, I will talk about some useful methods of preventing and treating school bullying that I have seen abroad and found useful.
Signs all over the campus "if you see something, say something". In fact, the original intention is to prevent sexual harassment, but it is also effective in school bullying. The great thing about this propaganda is that it shifts the responsibility for reporting to the police and preventing harm from the victims to bystanders. Encouraging reporting has greatly reduced the shame of calling the police, and also reduced the pressure of public opinion on those who called police. At the same time, bystanders are a much larger group than victims, and their targets are too large to incur retaliation. The object of the police is not the victim, and the victim himself can be protected from further retaliation and threats.
This slogan sounds simple, but it's a very sophisticated design.
Another is the campus security APP, there is a function, if you want to go to a place near the campus, but you are worried about walking alone, just apply on it, the APP will help you match a real-name volunteer student, this Classmates can watch you walk with you at a certain distance from you. You don't need to contact him, but he can maintain your safety (so Xiaobei can solve the problem! This function of the campus security APP is to transform Xiaobei into Uber and Didi)
I hope that our younger generations will not be annoyed because of their cowardice in their youth, will not regret their incompetence in the past, and will not be ashamed because of their past violence. Don't spend half your life treating nightmares, leaving only the beautiful teenagers in your memory.
