I would like to believe that the playground that they lost is finally regained
The most powerful part of the whole film is probably the montage of "tear open the sealed test paper" and "dig out Wei Lai's body". If the "test paper" and "corpse" can be in a counterpoint relationship, then their common intentions There can only be one: the "future"; the college entrance examination paper refers to a "better" future (Chen Nian finally achieved very good results and could have had a bright future), and the exhumed corpse points to The future of "collapse" is the beginning of the collapse of the lives of two young people, and it is a result that is directly expressed by the names of the characters in the film: "The future (Wei Lai) is dead", the whole film is actually revolving around these two "futures". "Writing, one is heaven and the other is hell.
How does the future die? How does a teenager live in a dead future? These are the two questions that the creators have explored in a whole movie, so let's take a look at how they answered these two questions;
The two most interesting characters in the whole film are the pregnant female policewoman and the dead bully Wei Lai. These two characters bring out two forces that will kill the future. One is the self-righteous "adult"; "If If the world is like this, are you still willing to give birth to your child?" What kind of world is hidden behind this sentence? Adults will only self-righteously say: "Why are you being bullied instead of others?" "Why didn't you call the police when you were bullied?" But they never thought that this was a social and group problem, and they also They never put themselves in the perspective of teenagers and look at the world. As Huang Jue said, adults have long forgotten the suffering they experienced when they were young. When adults think they are strong enough and then appear as a protector , what they bring to teenagers can only be useless so-called "protection", or even more extreme destruction of life, this is the ridiculousness of this world;
And the biggest villain, the invisible force brought out by the bully Wei Lai is the "original family" and "fueling the flames". Her original family belongs to the elite class, but the wrong family education made her innately think that she is superior. From the behavior in the film we can speculate that her values are: "I am the center of the world, I can bully others, and after I apologize others must forgive me and completely forget all my insults to him and be friends with me." Very Funny right? But this is the value that her original family brought her. This completely failed education made her kill the future of Chen Nian and Xiaobei, and also ruined her own future.
So the future is dead. The youth's powerless resistance failed, but are they really only forced to fall into hell and powerless to turn over? The answer is no, which brings us back to the second question: after the future is dead, how will the teenagers live?
After the accidental murder, Chen Nian was faced with two choices: let Xiaobei take the blame for himself or take the initiative to surrender. Xiaobei's blame can bring a seemingly beautiful future, but this kind of beauty is fake, so Chen Nian Living in such a future is like "the body is in heaven, but the soul is deep in hell" at the cost of living a life of guilt and apology, so Chen Nian finally chose to surrender and give up that false paradise, but he didn't. As for falling into hell
The ending of the film came to an end in the examination papers and the sealed examination paper portfolio, which is a kind of fire in the darkness, hope in despair.
Being born in such a fucking world, such a weak family is not something Chen Nian can choose, and it is not what Chen Nian wants to be killed in a bright and infinite future, but fortunately, she met the "you". "Protect the world, I will protect you" Xiaobei, they were able to support each other to start a new life even after the beautiful future they should have was shattered; the final destination of that paragraph in English is the simple present tense (This is our playground) , this is a kind of paradise lost and found, as the title says, the bright future that belonged to them may have been killed, but they have been reborn in the lives of each other, in the world beyond heaven and hell , and start living again!
