1. It's so sensational, the tears of the youth pain novel I read in junior high school came to my heart! Although the lines and the characters other than the protagonist deal with flaws a bit, the strong emotions bring a quite impactful viewing experience.
2. "Why don't you guys do something?"
3. The plot twists and turns and some lines are forcibly inserted, and it is suspected that they have been repeatedly revised due to the pressure of censorship. The patience and behavior of teenagers reflect the complexities of the adult world well.
"When we grow up, we learn to empathize" "I'm all for you" police officer, a pregnant female policewoman who is also a woman but uses a humiliating tone to interrogate a victim of bullying (and this bullying is about the female body).
4. "Why don't you trust adults? Why didn't you report it to the police?" "Didn't you report it before?" Minors who are vulnerable in the face of power understand everything, but they don't say "do the police help?" Can only helplessly laugh.
The interrogation methods used against juveniles and the paternalistic discourse of adults convey the arrogance of adults and survivors alike: We all came this way, you will be fine if you get through it, and those who haven’t survived our cowardice. Look, you are too tender, your arms can't twist your thighs.
Are growing up and learning to appeal to authority the same thing? This is the case in the eyes of the adults in the film.
5. The Chinese and special subtitles explain the plot, and all prisoners will be brought to justice. "Minors should also bear legal responsibility", think of the social news in recent years, an excellent irony.
6. There are two pairs of intertwined binary oppositions in the film: juvenile and adult, female and male. It is a good angle to continue to explain. The analysis that emerges from this one moves towards gender issues, the absence of patriarchy, violence, etc.; the other moves towards minor men and women as a community, resisting the violence and authority of the adult world. But there are at least two pairs of power analyses. Gender issues exist, but not just gender issues. Identity is nested within each other, so it cannot be simply used as a discourse system to cover it.
7. Zhou Dongyu is very suitable for playing the role of young age. Yi Yang Qianxi really can.
