Does "Youth of You" still look up at the stars

"We live in the gutter, but there are still people looking up at the stars." This is a sentence I liked very much during the viewing process. The whole movie also seems to be developing in this general direction. As far as the plot is concerned, this movie didn't actually give me a big surprise. Behind the frequent appearance of the lines, there are many less rigorous parts. . Putting aside the issue of fusion, in the story, the encounter between Chen Nian and Xiaobei was too dramatic, and the early emotional line between the two was very sloppy, which was not convincing to me personally. Moreover, the function of the male classmates in the same class is not very clear. If it just reflects the loneliness of the bullied person, the indifference of the whole class is enough. If it is to contrast the bravery of Xiaobei and Chen Nian, the role is too single. Personally, I think the best character portrayed in the text is Wei Lai, which reminds me of the murderous teenager in "The Distance Between Us and Evil". The audience's direct feeling may be hatred, but after calming down, there will be a little sympathy. The complicated emotions, especially in the last paragraph she said to Chen Nian, were very childish and innocent words of a child of that age. I think the original intention of the screenwriter may also be to make the audience's emotions for her not so single. The film uses a lot of montage techniques in editing. This method has also been seen in Zeng Guoxiang's last film "July and An Sheng". It seems to disrupt the space and promote two people in life at the same time. The expression is more direct and the story can be better explained. "Youth of You" is used more skillfully, so I am also thinking about whether this editing method will become a feature of Zeng Guoxiang's narrative. Another feature of the editing is the angle switching combined with the close-up of the film. Xiaobei and Chen Nian were filmed as two parallel lines. The emotions and lines are symmetrical, jumping back and forth, and complementing each other. It is more common in suspenseful reasoning films, so when it is applied to such films, I will be a little bit brighter. Another amazing aspect of the film is the photography. A large number of close-ups are combined with comfortable lighting. The actors are more powerful in conveying the characters, and the audience can intuitively experience the inner emotions of the characters, which is also a boost for the actors to perform. An important reason for being recognized by the audience. In addition, a lot of hand-held shots are used in the film, but each is just right, such as a few chase scenes, and the shaky shots make the story more tense and the content of the expression is more immersive. Coupled with a few empty shots at key times, as a supplement to the story, I personally think that this "Youth of You" is at least a comprehensive upgrade based on "July and An Sheng" in terms of lens language, and you can see the director's personal ability enhancement. As for acting, what I want to say is that Enlargement from close-up does not necessarily require acting skills, but the level of conveying emotions requires strength. The close-up in the movie is a double-edged sword. It not only magnifies the appearance of the characters, but also magnifies the emotions. Actors without strength can't hold such scenes. Therefore, the performance of Zhou Dongyu and Yi Yangqianxi this time is still very commendable. Zhou Dongyu's breakthrough lies in expressing emotions more abundantly than previous roles. Her crying scenes are already great, and "Love of Hawthorn Tree" I have seen it before, this time her control over her body and eyes is even more amazing. In the scene where she went to Xiaobei's house for the first time, her body language was smooth, especially the details of the explosive trembling of her arms. It can be said that the use of technology is more mature. . And after she heard the fake news from the police, from the gradual deformation of the back to the leopard-like hatred in the frontal eyes, the inner level of her character Chen Nian was enriched. This kind of acting should be a popular candidate for the actress next year. Of course, the biggest surprise this time lies in the performance of Yi Yang Qianxi. The four-character younger brother who can dance by himself has almost completed the shaping of this character perfectly. From the first time he brought Chen Nian home, he opened the door. , Packing things, picking up water, and boiling water with a little sense of rhythm that fits the characters, this sense of rhythm runs through almost the whole film, making the audience more convinced of the characters. On the other hand, the excellent processing lies in the control of the facial muscles. The facial expression of the character Xiaobei conveys very little emotion, and more depends on the details, while Yi Yangqianxi is very well shaped in the details, and with the help of close-ups, it can be enlarged. After that, the internal psychology of the characters became clearer. Of course, the best is the prison visit scene. The trembling of the lips and facial muscles naturally resembles his own emotions. Coupled with the crying scene of the moment when Zhou Dongyu catches up with An Sheng, he has not been compared, really. The skill and talent are very obvious. The most bland part is the lines. The newcomer's level is not that good, but it seems reasonable to match the character's temperament. Finally, I hope that "Youth of You" will always have the heart of a young man, full of energy, discerning black and white, and looking up at the stars. The details of the arm trembling can be said that the technology is more mature.

The skill and talent are very obvious. The most bland part is the lines. The newcomer's level is not that good, but it seems reasonable to match the character's temperament. Finally, I hope that "Youth as a Younger" will always have the heart of a young man, full of energy, discerning black and white, and looking up at the stars.
