This movie about the theme of youth has concise characters and concise dialogue. Takeshi Kitano did not use any extra shots to add irrelevant characters or add some sensational elements to cater to the audience's taste, so there is no parental role and nagging, There is no romance and hormones, all the scenes and storylines revolve around the relationship between Xiaoma and Xinzhi, and at the same time join the good boy Watanabe, a pair of comedians with mediocre qualifications, and three students who follow their example. The three clues follow up synchronously, reflecting the epitome of each representative group in youth, and depicting the background and various states of youth.

Xinzhi is a typical confused young man. When he is alone, his face is always indifferent, with no expression, his eyes seem to be open, and he is not interested in everything around him. He has always been the valet of the pony, whatever the pony does, he will follow. The picture of the movie poster also clearly illustrates the relationship between the two people, the pony in red is the one at the helm. Every time I think of the music in the film, when there are two people, it is the cheerful and restless theme song kids return, and the cheerful and restless notes in the music are also the mood of Xinzhi following the pony, happy, fresh, there will always be mischief, no To think about the road ahead there.

Everyone in the growing years is fighting against the adult world and the world around them. Many people lose and finally become mediocre. For ordinary adults, there are some vicissitudes and some compromises.
The costumes throughout the movie also match the characters' personalities and mental state transitions well. Xinzhi's dress has always been black, restrained and simple; Xiaoma's clothes were red at first, plaid shirts, publicity and domineering, every time the two of them appeared, Xiaoma was responsible for the outside world; in the second game, Xiaoma and Xinzhi The boxing clothes are red and blue, blue symbolizes peace, gloom and stability, and is the background color of Xinzhi; the third pony has a small success in the gang, his hair starts to look back, and his clothes are white. He is imitating And the outfit of the elder brother; at the end, the two met, the pony put on a gray-blue jacket, and the tone was gloomy and harmless to humans and animals, which also showed the compromise and low-key after being attacked and educated in the first society.
No matter from the theme of the film or the performance of the film language, it is a youth film that is very worthy of five-star recommendation.
