This is a film that combines youth and realism, focusing on social topics such as college entrance examination, family education, juvenile delinquency, and reflecting on what can be done for youthful youth from the adult perspective. The so-called "good student" Wei Lai is like a demon; the classmates who get along with each other day and night watch numbly; while the street bullshit with little education and brain has become his own patron saint.
"You are a teenager" is indeed a good youth movie in recent years in China. Friends who have seen the movie should not object to it. Chinese youth films did not feel much style in the early days, but in the past few years, Chinese films have noticeably increased their attention to popular elements among young people, and gradually become their own unique big genre. Representatives include "the year in a hurry" and "you at the same table" .
Youth film is not strictly a genre film, it is a film subject, and it is also a very popular genre film abroad. However, every country’s youth films have their own unique styles and relatively mature youth film systems.
American youth films promote the American spirit of struggle and pursue the "American Dream" . The protagonist participated in various clubs and competitions, and then fell in love by the way. In the end, he realized his personal value and embraced the beauty. Finally, the protagonist said: "Our youth is so wonderful!" (Example: High School Musical and Dance)
Japanese youth Most movies contain Japanese-style pessimistic memories. Campus is hot and violent. The protagonist is bullied at first, and then rises up with the encouragement of friends, family and dream lover. Then suddenly he turns from a child to an adult, relying on his own efforts to win the recognition of everyone and the dream lover, and finally the protagonist Said: "Our youth is worth fighting for!" (Example: Everything about Lily Zhou)
When it comes to Chinese youth films, why do many people still think that Chinese youth films are not good? Nostalgic movies that cheat money are dizzying and uncomfortable. In the past few years, the entry point of domestic youth films was always on love, and the various youth routines such as cheating, abortion, fighting, death and so on were also frantically complained by movie fans.
"Do you think youth is a good thing? Youth is like a swamp in the freezing." However, youth is so beautiful. There is no period in life that can compare to the brilliance of youth, as if every moment can be deep enough to reach eternity, here is the junction of illusion and reality. The
youth film is also worthy of the enthusiasm of filmmakers, because it touches the "motif" of life such as growth, love, the contradiction between high ideals and lack of reality. What are the audience looking for in youth films? Maybe it is a possibility and way out of youth. I hope that more directors will focus on the youth in society, so that Chinese youth films can thrive.
