"Youth Resistance": Become a French Thief

The film once again emphasizes a truth for the majority of otaku, that is, men are not bad and women do not love. On the one hand, bad men understand romance, so they can coax the woman into dressing clothes; on the other hand, bad men can and are keen to pierce the secret desire of the woman, and no amount of pretending gestures will always be enough. It just so happens that a French thief meets all the conditions for attracting a bunch of nympho-from a romantic land, often uses erratic whereabouts to test people's patience, uses unscrupulous smirk to destroy people's concentration, and uses wandering adventures. Experience to confuse people.
In order to please the girls and the disgust of that slurred surname, Michael Sella simply called himself François Di Linger. After relatively reliable inference, François probably represents our great new wave leader Truffaut, because the character’s worship of exhaustion is obvious. Although the latter is called Godard, it is indeed that The time is right. The unreliable speculation about Dillinger is the legendary thief John Dillinger, who Depp played in Enemy of the Public last year. In fact, changing the name is only the first step. The subsequent behavior of Sai La well interprets this promising pseudonym.
Unlike those youthful comedies that are purely advertised, the film appears to be more pursuing. After all, it is backed by a fairly reliable original work, and it will not be easily homogenized. As the title conveys, the film still consciously keeps a certain distance from the ordinary high school life who has nothing to do and worry about the lower body all day long, and its responsibility is to wave the banner for youth. Anti-parents, anti-schools, anti-social security, ignoring all the rules and regulations that the adult world relies on, and seeking to break free from the shackles that adults use to restrain them. The protagonists didn't expect to rebuild something. All that classmate Saila did was just to elope with his little girlfriend, and their elopement plan also seemed ridiculous and immature, mixed with fantasies and speculation. If you contact France and Truffaut again, you will be inextricably linked to the May Storm. What’s interesting is that there are many scenes in the film that are almost indistinguishable from reality, such as the brother of Sara’s girlfriend. Whether it is his insignificant actions, or even his own existence, it is questionable. These are exactly what the film created specially-a kind of audiovisual experience after taking medicine.

The film is packaged with a relatively Hollywood-like hormonal comedy, in which there are still plenty of vulgar jokes interspersed, although part of it is cartoonized, but it is unscrupulous and more explicit. But the film quickly abandoned the usual plot mode and character setting into a pre-planned track. The film itself is more concerned about the coexistence of reality and fiction. For example, the protagonist’s two completely different selves often haunt, and the operation of virtual ones for actual events seems to be relatively free, and there is no worry about causing bugs.

Michael Sila continues to play this kind of shy otaku character after "Too bad", which is different from the extreme pureness of the previous works. In this film, Syra has to try to play two roles alone, as well as a petty otaku. If you want to pretend to be an anti-social villain. The overall effect is not bad. After all, he is unsmiling in acting as an otaku, and he is already familiar with it. Although acting as a bad guy does not have the pre-existing qualities and aura, it brings additional comic effects.
On the whole, the film can bring people a pleasant surprise, because when you are "sex" with the mentality of watching American Pie 8, unexpectedly it is a bit cold, a bit boring, and a bit serious camouflage comedy.

Youth in Revolt quotes

  • Nick Twisp and Francois Dillinger: In the movies the good guy gets the girl. In real life it's usually the prick.

  • Nick Twisp and Francois Dillinger: Sheeni, hi, nice to see you. I was just going for a walk, and I thought I'd drop by. I remembered that you lived here. I'm sorry I got so upset about Trent. It was very immature of me. I'm not normally like that. He sounds like a great guy. I'd love to hear more of his neat poetry. Say, do you want to go to the beach or get breakfast?

    Sheeni Saunders: Actually I'm going on a hike. I'd ask you to come along, but you haven't got any hiking boots, provisions, survey maps, or a compass.

    Nick Twisp and Francois Dillinger: Fine. I do all of my hiking free form. Like John Muir, I enter the wilderness with nothing more than my journal and a child-like sense of wonder.
