If I was still in school now, I think I would give this film four and a half stars, maybe even five stars. The "Those Years" really made a lot of people collectively reminisce about their youth, and they finished filming the old boy. Reminiscing in fresh blue, this is the first love of a pink girl from an urban female white-collar worker. Sincerely, it is not worse than "Those Years", but now it's a maximum of three and a half stars. It's still the story of Cinderella's counterattack. The cool bully male protagonist is a typical bad boy in youth, a scumbag becomes a school tyrant, and there are school girls and school grasses as foils, drowning, car accidents, surgery, immigration, these are simply tried and tested. A girl next door has been yelling "so handsome!" Xu Taiyu is very handsome, but how did I manage to remain unmoved. At the end, as soon as Jerry Jerry came out and danced, where is Xu Taiyu? But after all, the movie does use sincerity to drive the hopeful side, so that people will not forget that there is romance and sincerity in this world, and it is not so inconsistent but naturally generated, so even if it is vulgar, it will be willing to buy tickets for it. If I had to judge, I think I watched a movie that was a little better than not bad.
But that's not what I want to say. As I said at the beginning, no one told us what kind of job we want to have when we grow up, what kind of love we want to have, and what kind of life we want to live. When I grow up, I find that everything is just like that, a bad job, a bad love, and a bad life. Maybe she changed the ticket and went out to buy a drink and happened to meet the girl who was doing a drink promotion at the alley. It was a deserted corner. It was dark and there was no light. She mistook me for her classmate. It seemed like a joke between the same age. Let the two get to know each other. I bought her drink and turned to leave. I suddenly thought that although the weather was not cold, it would be cool to stand in place for a few hours, and I couldn't help but feel sorry for this girl. Then I thought to myself, "You're not going anywhere, but I'm so embarrassed to be pitiful." Fortunately, you don't need to be frozen. Look, more often, girls like her, me, and us are mediocre in appearance, not refined, not rich, and not even a girl or a soft girl. They leave the campus with an ordinary job. Work for an ordinary salary. In the movie, it is said to be ordinary, but where is the ordinary? The ugly duckling eventually turned into a white swan, won the favor of the male god, and led the whole school to resist. Even when he grew up, he did not live a bad life. The real ordinary will not appear in such a movie. When I was a child, the idea was extremely simple. How many people would think about what they would become in the seemingly distant future? Will they become better? When we grow up, we may not really become better, better or even beautiful, and life is ordinary and even a little difficult. Who would have thought this would be countless of our grown-up lives? Yes, many, many people are just such mushrooms that do not bloom, dull and short, difficult to be detected, grow quietly, and are delicate and beautiful without flowers.
When I was young, I would not be blamed for doing things well, but when I did well, I would be praised. When I grew up, I would be blamed for doing things poorly, but when I did well, I was taken for granted. It's cruel too. There are more things that mushrooms can't do well. They have to pay more to say no to those they don't like. How can they easily think about it? Lin Zhen has them, but not most of them.
And as I get older, I hate chicken soup more and more. Like words, the film idealizes, purifies, and beautifies everything, which is no different than forcing the audience to drink chicken soup, and if they drink too much, they will be picky eaters and not hungry. In this day and age, there are fewer and fewer people who don’t read books. The books tell us such and such truths. We can tell a lot about ordinary people, but what if we know them? But it's still a bad life." The truth is, only if you really experience it yourself. How can this world empathize with others? Your experience can never be truly understood by others. The highest comfort is "I understand you". So most of the time I choose not to talk about it. No reason, no experience. Chicken soup, boiled by yourself, is easy to digest.
Having said this, I’ve already gone a long way from the movies. Forgive me for still hanging out in the college party to eat and watch movies, and forgive me for getting more and more unfamiliar with youth movies. I just really want to tell myself, even if it’s not vigorous , turn a cocoon into a butterfly, even if there is no Xu Taiyu in life, even if real life is often exhausting, even if mushrooms and mushrooms will not bloom, they still have to do their best to become a better self than they are now...
