- "Seventeen-Year-Old Bicycle"
didn't expect that his first film review was actually dedicated to Wang Xiaoshuai. Haha, it doesn't seem to be a film review, it's just a little afterthought.
The seventeen-year-old bicycle, called "Beijing Bicycle" in English, just missed the most crucial "seventeen years old".
Leaving aside the netizens' debate over the intertwining storylines of the two threads. What impresses me is the youthful vibe in the film. The freedom of youth The restlessness of youth is somewhat violent and cruel. Lian Gui, from the countryside, started his youthful struggle and struggle at the age of seventeen. The child at the bottom of the city has his love, his anger, and his struggle at the age of seventeen. For some reason, people often focus on Lian Gui and the conflict between rural and urban areas. Admittedly this is one of the main points of discussion in this film, but it is by no means the whole story. Personally, I feel that the whole story revolves around the theme of youth. One thing I like very much is that the two children are inadvertently possible friends from their original opponents, but in the end they are only possible. Although this result seems to be the interruption of their communication because of the reckless fight for love, in fact, the difficulty of such communication is too high, far from a bicycle and two children. bearable. This is a social barrier that they cannot break through. Youth seems to be breaking through something.
Bicycles are highlighted again and again in the play. People always come to see Lian Gui or Jian Zi, the car is good. The car is good, youth is even better. Bicycle has become a symbol in this film, the sustenance of youth. Just like the most cherished Walkman in high school, it is reluctant to lend it to others easily. When Dad agreed to buy it, he was so excited that he couldn't sleep at night. One day, the earphone accidentally broke. I was really annoyed and regretted~~~
Now, the Walkman retired after the last strike in the third year of high school. He seems to have stepped out of that age. It's really strange that he is only a twenty-two young man, but he is nostalgic for his youth.
A few days ago, when everyone was discussing about girls pretending to be cute, a roommate said a very classic saying: "If you pretend to be cute, you will also count your age." After laughing, we suddenly found that we seemed to be far away from the age of sixteen or seventeen. . At least in my heart.
Someone asked: Why do we always feel affection for the things that have passed, but keep a distance from the things that are real?
Last night, when I was writing the "A Letter to an Old Girl Who Just Got to College", I felt that I was actually standing from the perspective of someone who had come here, with a preaching tone, talking about ideals and life. As everyone knows, he is still in progress.
When I was a teenager, I watched "Following Love to the End", and I looked forward to the age of twenties, the love when I grew up, and the life when I grew up. At the age of twenty-two, I miss the flowering and rainy seasons of my teens. I don't know whether it's real or imagined in my memory. Maybe this is also a plot. I don't know what other people are like. My plot is very serious, hehe.
The Gao Yuanyuan in the film is really beautiful, and she can't help but forgive her for her spontaneity. The ignorant love in his youth should not have been put on shackles. However, Gaoyuanyuan does seem to be a bit older in it, probably this is the difference between teens and twenties. (Yuanyuan, don't hit me)
Coincidentally, when I was watching the film, Pingting, my favorite at that time, sent a text message asking me why I hadn't gone back. In fact, we really didn't have many stories when we were in our teens. But I always feel that there is something I can't give up that reminds me of my past. It's like someone asked Lian Gui in the play for a broken car, and asked Jianzi for such a woman, as for what. In fact, this is not a question of whether it is worth it or not, it is a kind of sustenance, a kind of dream. People are willing to do everything for their dreams.
"Seventeen-Year-Old Bicycle" is a lot like "The Day With Bright Eyes," but it's not exactly the same, and it doesn't talk about the same thing. "Sunny Days" we see is the mania of youth, the beauty of youth. I seem to have seen a lot of "Seventeen-Year-Old Bicycle", perhaps because of the different moods of watching the film.
There is another line in the film, which is Zhou Xun, a small rural nanny who wears the owner's clothes. The owner of the grocery store said something meaningful, "If I had known earlier, she also came from the countryside, then~~". so what? What can he do, and how many "what ifs" are there in his life?
My thoughts wandered, and I thought of "Looking for a Gun" again. Is it just a gun that Jiang Wen did not hesitate to use his life to find in the film?
So, "Seventeen-Year-Old Bicycle" is more than just a bicycle? Is the dream of youth more than a dream?
