Stupid, we haven't even started yet!

It has been more than three weeks since I broke up with Mr. A, and I finally gathered up the courage to watch a movie. I don't know since when, I gradually lost the ability to watch movies alone. As long as there are good movies, I always think that I can watch them with her, and I can't get enough of bad movies for leisure. Just like Shinji wants to quit boxing, I also seem to want to quit movies. But after all, everyone walks alone, you are the boxing champion, and I am the boss. And our story seems to start from "Hanawa". The boys at that time, with their love by their side, lived in poverty and were full of troubles, but they were also very happy. He could not feel the despair of losing his beloved, not even despair, and just waited quietly for death. He also didn't like Kitano Takeshi's always fixed camera position, long shot, and then came little by little from a distance, leaving a close-up of facial paralysis. The girls, on the other hand, are quiet in a love story that lives to the death, sometimes interrupted by Hisaishi's overwhelming soundtrack. In any case, they knew Takeshi Kitano. They know that this person's camera is calm and restrained, with a chilly, straight-forward violence. And his warmth is highlighted in these coldness, penetrating directly into people's hearts. He still likes the fixed camera position so much, close-up of people's faces, trying to force people's embarrassment out. He likes to use violent and short-term violence as an illusion, and uses wandering and returning, the contradiction between people, and growth as the core of the story to reflect the tension. "Bad Boy's Sky" doesn't seem to be as famous as "Hana", but it is more like a masterpiece. All of Kitano Takeshi's personal style is like a duck to water in this film, moving freely and cheerfully, appearing to be iron and natural. Every time "Meet again" plays, my tear ducts seem to want to start working - you see, even Hisaishi's soundtrack is appropriate. For the grasp of visual stimulation, Kitano Takeshi is also much more generous. Perhaps Master Yanagijima has mastered the essence of self-restraint photography. Although the lens is restrained, it is definitely not boring. When Xiaoma appeared on campus in red, I thought Mr. A would look good in red.

I want to ride with you like this, how about in the Chinese division?

Do youth films have themes? If amnesia is not our subject, what should be? In vain I guess. Throughout, "Guling Street", "Sunny Days" and this "Bad Boy's Sky", at least in vain can be regarded as the eternal theme of youth. Futility and despair seem to go hand in hand, sometimes it's not how miserable or boring life is. Instead, it seems to be walking on thin ice forever, and everything will be lost if you are not careful. Falling in love with boxing, once found no talent, everything is taken away. Joined the underworld, climbed up a little bit, and ended up contradicting the big man, in vain. Xinzhi is talented, and then a bad friend has done it all. One indulgence can destroy years of abstinence. Holding the beauty back, the result... The protagonist is just the epitome of youth, and everyone is the epitome of life - the boss, Kazuo, eagle, president... All people seem to be like this, they are cherished inadvertently Everything slipped away. Takeshi Kitano spent so much time depicting the growth of the protagonist. Almost every branch has the opportunity to become "The Godfather", "Million Dollar Baby" or the Japanese version of "Taxi Driver". But Takeshi Kitano destroyed it all with three shots, which was simpler and cruder than an uppercut. So you recall those peaceful times, and it seems that everything was not so smooth. Many signs have already appeared again and again, but because of life, we can only turn a blind eye. Taking these dark surges to look at the calm again, it seems that everything is not the same. At the end, Xiaoma and Xinzhi revisited the old places, lamenting the right and wrong. At that time, the pony had already changed a person, and was disturbed by Shinji's cry. But there's still something about him that hasn't changed, and when Shinji asks him if we're finished, he can still say, idiot, we haven't started yet. That was the original pony. Time changes everything, and it also changes people's dispositions, and I don't know if I will be an exception. I don't know if everything in this undercurrent will be in vain. Sometimes I am hopeful, sometimes disheartened, sometimes confident, sometimes terrified. It seems too weak to dare to walk a few steps alone. I don't know when I will meet Mr. A again. I don't know if I will ask her if we are finished. I don't know if she'll tell me we're just getting started. Please call me stupid.
