A teenager makes all kinds of absurd behaviors that are extremely ignorant in the eyes of ordinary people just to find the love of his lover. If this is in real life, no one can agree, but once it is put in the movie, all kinds of non-brained behaviors become A form of artistic expression called "exaggeration". The form itself is not important, the key is that behind this wanton imagination lies a primitive and innocent obsession with true love. And persistence itself is a kind of beauty.
"Youth Rebellion" is another youth comedy set against the background of young boys struggling to break the ground. It perfectly fits the various characteristics of fast food culture in the entertainment age: commercial operation, exquisite packaging, and forgettable. The male protagonist Michael Cera seems to have become the leading figure in this type of film in the United States during this period, whether it is "Too bad" in 2007 or "Sex Movie" in 2009, and to this comedy today, the young man is full of childishness. Searching for my first night again and again.
Judging from the shooting technique alone, "Youth Rebellion" can definitely go hand in hand with bad films. The plot of the story is simple and rude, and can't stand scrutiny; the appearance of a few supporting characters is extremely blunt, as if the condiments are gone and hurriedly mixed together. But putting aside this common problem of instant pleasure, instant consumer movies, this movie is at least not bad enough.
Any film has its own taste. Among the commercial movies that are being released in turn, there are those who are menial and those who are public; there are those who are pure men, and those who are young and fresh. However, "Youth Rebellion" is really rare to be able to show the temperament of Mensao so fresh and natural in a lot of youthful comedies. It even has a little literary style. The protagonist's pursuit of his first night is by no means like that of "American Pie". Instead, he creates another self in a relatively introverted manner, and then completes self-transcendence while pursuing true love. In the movie, you can't find an exhilarating body or a drunk party, but a little humorous and embarrassed to show you the attitude of the youthful and unconcerned for love.
I like these two contradictory lines:
Let's just live and what happens will happen.
In the face of your sweetheart, you don't have to rush to launch an offensive. But how far is it from just letting the flow go?
You're not gonna get this girl by sitting around listening to records and jerking off.
So, still obey your heart. As an otaku, you and I must understand: Uncle Jack Off, who can always comfort you, can't help us find the one in Haihai's life.
It seems that girls now like bad boys.
