But this time is called youth.

In the long shot, there is SHIJI's expressionless and even a little dull face.
At the quiet door, the pony's decadent and pale expression showed no emotion.
But when the camera went back to the past, everything was different.

The pony in my memory always likes to wear red, while SHIJI is blue. All in blue. Just like the personalities of the two people, one is hot and impulsive, the other is depressed and quiet.
SHIJI has no dreams, he just follows. He found a dream and a life for himself in the pony's youth. The pony went to grab the money, and he followed, but when the pony's self-esteem was thwarted and he was punched down, the pony gave up, and he gave up too, because that was not his dream. Xiaoma went to fight, and he followed, even though Xiaoma didn't even ask his opinion, when one day, Xiaoma was knocked to the ground by him who seemed to be weak, Xiaoma gave up again. But SHIJI didn't, because it had become his dream.
SHIJI did not join the underworld with the pony in the end. I think this is also the bottom line of his "bad deeds". He just looked at the pony he met by chance and lowered his head to avoid it.

SHIJI has the youth of a child. He persisted in his efforts. He keeps practicing and running every day. He watched helplessly as the senior eagle fell, while he rose. Looking back now, when the eagle left, he put the boxing glove in his hand and said, it's really yours. He also handed over the road to him. If the eagle can say a word at that time, don't go my way. Will SHIJI be different.
The preciousness of a dream lies not in people's lingering dreams, but in how to persevere.
The moment SHIJI started to fall with Kobayashi, his dream fell. When the pony impulsively yelled at you cowards in front of the boss, his dream fell. Watanabe (called this no) left the sales office and took the steering wheel, and his dream fell. Just before that, they all had a moment of shock.
SHIJI won the trophy with hard work and perseverance, Pony sat in the back seat of the car with drive and agility, and Watanabe found a job with persistence and positivity.
And later, SHIJI's failure, Pony's beating, and Watanabe's car accident are actually on the same road. But this way, there were actually other options.

Are dreams meant to be dashed? Do not. The two people who insisted on talking about cross talk really ushered in full applause after the empty and lonely venue. This is another story.

Youth is but so few. Generation after generation, a group imitating a group. There are several ways to walk on one road. After you walk like this, I will walk like this without noticing it. Xiaolin's road, the eagle walked, and SHIJI followed. He walked on the road of Henan, and the pony followed. The pony chose boxing because he lost to others, and the yellow-haired gangster also came to fight because he lost to SHIJI. The pony is called Atomic Boy, and the punk is called Bomb Boy. Even the crazy old man on the street imitated this youth and waved his fist twice.
People who go back and forth like this really haven't thought about it. What's left of this road.

The teacher is getting old and still writing on the blackboard. SHIJI and Pony are getting old and still wandering around the empty playground. In the classroom, there is still hope for their student. What is he thinking, what does he want to break through, what does he want to have.

When SHIJI's habitual blue shorts ended in the dream, they changed to red. When the pony loves to swing the fist, it becomes a drooping and feeble arm. When the waitress picked up the cigarette, she decisively refused the invitation to watch the movie. Who is going to pay homage to youth?

Fortunately, at the end of the movie, what the pony said was that it was still early.

    At first, I only focused on cruel youth genre movies, but I was attracted by the soundtrack in the film...
