After watching "Youth of You", I didn't slow down for a while. At the end, I bluntly said with emotion, "What? It's over?".
When I touched my chest, I felt my heart beating a little bit harder, and it had a lot of stamina. Although there are still many bugs in the play, I just want to talk about the advantages, because this time I am particularly surprised by Zeng Guoxiang, it is really a treasure! After watching it, I admire his directing skills. He captures every face with a microscope-like close-up. Whether it is the perpetrator, the victim or the bystander, every small emotion is maximized. I really like that he tells stories through audiovisuals, and this time the presentation on the screen is higher than the previous work. Whether it is dealing with the relationship between corners and characters in abandoned and marginalized cities, or pursuing the aesthetic effect of light and shadow in the suppressed space, such as railings, patio buildings, trash cans, etc. that appear the most, they are all typical prison-style spaces… " "The Boy Who Can't Fly" wants to change his destiny, but he is always imprisoned in reality and does not really escape... These are all audio-visual surprises, and even cover up some deficiencies in the play. As a Hong Kong director, he was filming an exam-oriented education, and his handling of some details (such as college entrance examination papers, examination papers, eyebrow tattooing...) will move the audience, because these are very real, they are real, they are really happening to us. Those around me can feel the sincerity of the director.
In "July and Ansheng", he innovatively adopted the structure of "twin flowers" to show the theme of female growth. In "Youth of You", the structure of "symbiosis" is adopted to show the growth theme of cruel youth. In fact, both of them are different aspects of a person's personality, and they are also based on the other side hidden deep in the heart. At the end of "July and An Sheng", An Sheng is facing the mirror, but the image of July is displayed, while the glass at the end of "Youth of You", the faces of the two overlap, the front and back still overlap, creating a kind of You are me and I am your state. This two-in-one expression makes people think about their true inner pursuit. The collusion in "Youth" shows more of an anti-system color. In the film, the police ask Chen Nian why he didn't call the police. She replied that she just wanted to take the college entrance examination. There were too many opportunities to ask for help. The reasons for institutional distrust remain somewhat inadequate.
The acting skills of the actors are really impeccable, Zhou Dongyu is completely Chen Nian himself! I was totally drawn into the character by her. The acting skills of the four-character brother have also been fully affirmed. He has a primitive youthful feeling, and some sensitive places are not erotic at all. It is a natural mobilization of hormones~ But it still feels like a star halo, even me, a passerby fan, has a filter Mirror... While watching, I sighed to the friend next to me, "Oh my god, he's so handsome." Hey, if he doesn't express such emotion next time, he will be considered a serious success, right?
In fact, to be honest, this movie may just use the background of "bullying" to let the two meet to choose a life story. The bullying line may not be used well... but overall it is still very good~
