at noon that day, and when I walked out of the theater, I remembered the lyrics of a Taiwanese RAP song ("More Than One Murderer"), which happened to be the title of this film review-
was killed by the perpetrator. The victim
is the first to vote:
At the beginning of the movie, a particularly tense performance was used: lines repeat.
often has similar expressions in stage plays, which can drive the atmosphere particularly well in the theater. The movie begins like this, and it also plays this role. Zhou Dongyu's English has improved a lot, and at least those three sentences in English are very standard. However, does used to be really have the nostalgia and sigh for the "death"? If the audience had heard the story in advance, would they have any doubts: " Chen Nian laments what has passed away? "
Furthermore, in Chen Nian's empty eyes and repeated voices, an abnormal appearance appeared in the lens— -A little girl in yellow, she is absent-minded, disturbed, tangled, and looking down...
has to say that Director Zeng Guoxiang’s skills are now very deep, and in the opening of these few minutes, the keynote of the shot has been established, The use of sound (when Chen Nian repeats the next few sentences, the sound effect is a kind of hollow monologue with a little echo), and the subsequent rapid switching and superimposition of the shots are all fascinating layer by layer, and the lens language is calm and atmospheric. I set my posture to tell everyone a deep story.
also have to say Zhou Dongyu's acting skills. With this look and a few lines, I had a foreboding that there would be a nuclear explosion. Some people say that the most advanced acting skill is to use eyes to act. Although it cannot be said that Zhou Dongyu's eyes have been superb, at least in my recent years of watching movies, this eyes and this performance are one of the highest levels.
then began interspersed with movies and stories to talk about my own analysis and feelings:
1) campus bullying. The first few shots of the
story are cut very fast, but they are not messy at all. If viewed as a suspense film, the rhythm of the shots is handled very well, with the essence of Japanese suspense. In the plot of
jumping from a building, the camera's explanation is light, but it appropriately highlights the inner activities of the protagonist—Chen Nian—without being overwhelming. Until Chen Nian returned to his seat and saw the red ink, the themes of the film were as clear as the clouds and rain, and the bright colors.
Chen Nian’s cafeteria was serving food. Wei Lai and his gang came to look for things. Wei Lai forced to take pictures of Chen Nian. Chen Nian flashed the scene of the deceased Hu Xiaodie being bullied, and then fled. This series of lens explanations all show the director's skill.
Chen Nian came home from school and saw Xiaobei being besieged and called the police. At this point, all the background arrangements for the film are all over, which also indicates that the drama is about to begin.
This post-viewing experience: the conflict between two dramas of the
film: college entrance examination + campus bullying. -Coincident.
1.1 college entrance examination. In the past thirty years,
has been the most important aspect of Chinese youth life. How important is the college entrance examination? Every post-70s, post-80s, and post-90s who are watching movies have thought about this question. Some people may even say that the college entrance examination is more important than life. In this film, the director explained this degree of importance as soon as he came up. Chen Nian tolerated again and again, Chen Nian always said: "My tolerance is to not delay the college entrance examination...The college entrance examination will pass in one month. Everything will be fine after going to Beijing."
I also have a deep understanding. Until the senior year, I occasionally had nightmares about the college entrance examination. Many students around me have shared similar experiences. In short, the college entrance examination not only gave us the generations before and after, it also gave the past era an indelible mark.
However, this brand must be evil and unforgivable?
In the class group on Chen Nian's mobile phone, the head teacher sent this paragraph: " college entrance examination is the fairest mechanism in this era, ."
is indeed. Whether you are the son of Wangjianlin or the son of an illiterate peasant in a remote mountainous area, you are unprecedentedly equal under the mechanism of the college entrance examination. In classToday, the college entrance examination is one of the few opportunities (some even say it is the only) to open up the upper and lower levels and social mobility. Therefore, there are so many people who are fighting for this exam almost desperately. All the lines of Chen Nian of
can be simplified into one sentence: "The college entrance examination is all of my life, even higher than my life, my dignity, and my life." This point can also be taken from Xiaobei who dropped out of school. All kinds of actions and words, Chen Nian's mother's experience can see: studying and going to university is the only opportunity and hope for this class to change the destiny.
But is this really the case?
After going to university, will he be able to "everything is all right" as Chen Nian said?
may not be.
1.1.1 Judging from the results, there are constant news that "Peking University graduates sell pork", "Tsinghua graduates commit suicide", and "XXX college students commit crimes"... From this point, I have some thoughts-
is really about this Those who are harmful to society, are they Xiaobei who have repeatedly entered the Public Security Bureau? Or Wei Lai and his parents sitting in a high-end commercial house? Director
has also thought deeply about this issue and showed it through unobvious shots. Deep analysis will be made later in this paragraph.
1.1.2 I studied sociology at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. Professor Li Zhongqing, the well-known sociologist Dean, had a course. The analysis was that with the unbalanced distribution of social resources, the distribution of educational resources has also become subtly different. balance. Professor Li used quantitative social statistical survey methods, years of time, and a series of complex research topics to reach a conclusion- is difficult to be a general.
I have also seen some domestic surveys and studies. It is said that for a family to train a 985 college student, it takes nearly 20 years of continuous investment, and the investment is not only a large amount of money (they have calculated a specific Numbers, I forgot the amount, but it’s quite high) There are a lot of invisible things, such as the physical strength and energy of the parents, and even some parents have given up their careers for their children’s college entrance examinations, choosing to accompany reading, washing and cooking. ……
After 2000, it is hard to see that so many diligent readers in remote mountainous areas are admitted to prestigious universities. However, more and more places in colleges and universities are given to independent enrollment, and independent enrollment depends on the comprehensive development of "ethics, intelligence, physical education, and labor". To give an example, music specialties plus points, a child who wants to stand out by virtue of "piano" in independent enrollment, has to learn piano from the age of five or six, more than ten years of investment, including compound interest, dynamic income may be a remote mountainous area A number that a farmer’s family will never reach for a lifetime. And this number may be the wages of the fathers of the "Wei Lai" for one or two months.
Therefore, in the film, Wei Lai's grades are also very good. There are countless trophies at home, and the trophies are all in English. If it weren’t for the perspective of this film, in the eyes of others, girls like "Wei Lai" should be those around you and me who are both excellent in character, academic, moral, intellectual, physical, and beautiful, with good grades, versatility, and good looks. A good student who looks good, speaks well, and respects the teacher, right?
Even in this age of looking at faces, if one day there is news that "a high school flower was raped and murdered by social gangsters" in the news, I guess most netizens will be embarrassed when they see the photos of the student ID cards of the "Wei Lai" Sighing, even full of anger, accusing the "Xiaobei" of "the fragrant young girl in the blooming season is lost, and the hope of the country's future is withered...
Therefore, when you watch the news, don't take the subjectively set brain supplement plot preconceived. So. , Don’t send comments about things you don’t understand and don’t understand.
1.2 Campus bullying.
What era, country, society, and region have campus bullying. As
gets older, even if there is Is there really no bullying anymore when I leave campus? Is there no bullying in adult society? It’s just an adult society where bullying is more hidden. These rising heights of
are a bit too high, and this article will not end. Back to this film. Who is the bully in
?
Wei Lai. As I just said, Wei Lai is different from the rascals we saw in our school days. On the contrary, the so-called little ones we saw when we were young Hustlers, many of them are actually more like "people of the rivers and lakes". They are actually sentimental and righteous. If you don’t offend him, he doesn’t offend you, although there are also a few rogues who have nothing to look for.Bullying is weak, but most of them don't last long. After a few years, they will be paid by themselves or by people.
And the bully in this film is very concealed. He is a good student in the teacher's mouth-Wei Lai. She looks like a dog, but she is actually weak and low self-esteem. She has a strong sense of inferiority, vanity, and insecurity, and is prone to jealousy and anger. And the family is rich and powerful, so he likes to bully others. People like
are generally called "little people" by our general understanding. The biggest difference between a villain and a gentleman is actually due to extreme psychological unconfidence.
For example, the paparazzi (Chen Handian) commented on Li Zhilong (Feng Xiaoyue) in "Mengka": "It's not because of the group of fox friends and dog friends around him. Without them, he would be nothing." (Chen Handian's line performance is also very good. Explosion) And the paparazzi played by Handian Chen is also a fake tiger, living under the prestige of his brother, bullying Zhao Youting and eating his chicken legs. Zhao Youting was forced to become a gangster and ended up miserably.
Another example is Zheng Yi asking Chen Nian in a police car, have you seen what the wild animals were killing?
Chen Nian answered that it was fear, but they were afraid. Wei Lai in the
film is just cowardly, don't think she is the perpetrator. She feared that her limelight would be snatched by Chen Nian and was jealous of Chen Nian, which stimulated her unconfidence and low self-esteem deep in the subconscious (this may come from the shadow of her childhood caused by her serious father. You think, learning piano takes so much Award, can childhood be happy?)
So Wei Lai began to persecute Chen Nian frantically. But what was used was not upright violence, but despicable and indecent means-pouring red ink and pushing Chen Nian down the stairs behind his back. There may even be things that are not explained in the film: going to the teacher to tell the truth, rumors slander, rumors to confuse the public, arrogance, and double-handed.
Chinese characters do not have a vocabulary description of severe punishments for such people. Maybe they dare not offend them, and spurn them so much that they don't want to waste pen and ink on them, so I found two characters with the fewest strokes-villain.
(Remember when you were young, did you always have one or two such people in your class?) The bullying of
will extend to adult society in the future.
Sadly, Wei Lai in the film is dead and will not bully her anymore. What about the "Wei Lai" in real life? The name
is also very profound, Wei Lai. You think about it.
I want to say one more point. After reading the comments of many people, everyone recalled after watching the movie: "I was also a victim of bullying."
But have we ever thought about the question: Are we also bullying at one or two moments? How about others?
Just as Huang Jue asked Yin Fang at the roadside stall: What about when you bully others?
2) After Chen Nian met Xiaobei. This section of
is definitely not a love story that everyone said.
I think there is a shadow of "Guling Street Juvenile Murder" in this film, because this section has obviously slowed down in rhythm. But it hasn't reached Yang Dechang's fire. For example, when Chen Nian and Xiao Bei watched the goldfish, they should slow down and then slow down again, let Zhou Dongyu's eye skills to play again, first come for three minutes, and then cut Zhou Dongyu's eyes lost in the goldfish for three minutes, implicitly In performance, Chen Nian hopes that his memory is only seven seconds like a goldfish. Not only can he respond to the frustration of "it used to be our playground" at the beginning of the film, but also pave the way for the plot later. It's just as meaningful as the little boy singing English song in "Guling Street".
Zeng is still a little anxious.
I think that even without Master Yang’s narrative skills, I can learn from Shunji Iwai’s approach in the movie "All About Lily Zhou" in the same genre:
. I think Zeng Dao would like to shave his head, otherwise Chen Nian would like to shave his head. How is that segment so similar to that of "Lily Zhou"?
(I secretly filmed one, I hope it won’t cause copyright infringement, I just want to say, I really like this movie)
But I have to say that the use of Zeng’s lens is already great:
For example, Xiaobei rushed out and was Chen Chen When I pulled it back, I cut a close-up of the shaking of the chandelier;
alternately switched the sky shots all the time;
flashed and overlapped multiple shots;
these seemingly inadvertent shots were actually serving the theme——
That is what Xiaobei saw, the sentence in Chen Nian’s English book: "We live in the gutters, but there are still people looking up at the stars."
We live in the gutter, but some people still look up at the stars. .
I suggest that Director Zeng should be slower and put a few shots of Chen Nian looking up at the sky at school, and Xiao Bei looking up at the same sky from a corner of society. It is also possible to cross overlap and fight back and forth. Maybe the effect will be better.
What do they look up to?
The adult world. (The name Chen Nian is also very meaningful, maybe it is a homophonic and interesting)
3) those adult characters.
3.1 Chen Nian's mother.
I especially like Wu Yue’s performances. I still remember watching her TV series when I was very young. I didn’t know art at the time, so I thought it was very real, acting like bad guys and good guys. Chen Nian's mother represents the middle-aged people who were struggling in the society and even relying on fraud and abduction in order to train a college student. Chen Nian's ideal adult society certainly does not want to repeat her mother's old ways. In the subconscious, she despises her mother.
For example, seeing a red gift bag delivered by someone at the door-I guess it was from her mother's suitor-she despised it. Seeing that she was being bullied because her mother cheated others, she was ashamed of having such a mother.
However, she sighed again when she saw her mother staggering away from home with the sacks in the morning. (This section of the director did not directly explain, but a subjective first-view shot)
is subject to the family growth environment, and Chen Nian also has its own limitations, such as the blueprint for a bright future outlined in her mouth-Peking University (this can be circled from her map) The blue circle in Beijing’s Haidian District and Wei Lai’s mouth and the final missed killing of Wei Laizhong)-opened a small shop on the edge of Peking University with my mother and fooled my classmates to spend. Of course, this may be just a joke, but how much truth is there in the joke?
3.2 Old Yang. Director
used Lao Yang to point out a very important point in campus bullying: youth. (This is also the name of the movie)
Lao Yang said: There was a group of people who killed a classmate alive, and later confessed that they didn't know that beating people like this could lead to death.
is like: Wei Lai and the three are going to block Chen Nian, holding paper knives in their hands, and they all know that they are extremely sharp, cutting the arteries carelessly, a few minutes is a life-whether she cuts to Chen Mind or chaos may cut oneself.
So, I guess, most people like me who did not choose to be the perpetrator when they were young, or who chose to forbearance in the process of violence, mostly realized prematurely that excessive violence would cause irreversible harm to the other party. As a result, empathy arises, and then I think of the stories of "Han Xin’s Humiliation" that I learned in the textbook, and choose tolerance and tolerance.
is not like in "Sunny Days", Ma Xiaojun (Xia Yu) used a brick to shoot a boy in the hospital, and later said: "I don't know the weight of my hands"
Actually, apart from physical bullying, This phenomenon also exists in spiritual bullying: the perpetrator does not know how deep and long-term the victim's cold violence will be.
As a girlfriend of Wei Lai said: "She (Chen Nian) is the victim? You didn't know that Wei Lai was scared to death."
Chen Nian asked Xiaobei to protect herself. Xiaobei scalded Wei Lai's face with a cigarette butt, and the knife was inserted one or two centimeters from Wei Lai's face. All this caused Wei Lai’s shock and loss of face, so he prepared to retaliate and go back, so there was the bullying of taking nude photos.Pieces.
"Chen Nian" chose to forbearance when they were young, and another reason is that they don't want to be entangled with such people. "When is the injustice reported?" Of course, Chen Nians can also stop a lone gangster with a fat hammer at a certain time after school (in fact, she fought back, she threw it back with a volleyball), but Chen Nians' hands are light and heavy. It’s useless. The next day—just like Xiaobei said, if you’re beaten, you’ll be beaten back—the little bastard will come back and ask for trouble. Nian fell down the stairs). If the hands are heavy, they will bear legal responsibility and get ahead.
Chen Nian wants to take the college entrance examination and has no time to entangle them. The fact is also correct, because later Liu Ran begged Chen Nian to protect her, saying: "I listened to them everywhere, they still treated me like this."
3.3 female police officer. The role of
is not pleased. Aggressive when interrogating Chen Nian. Several female audiences booed in the theater. But, think about it carefully, this role is actually the endorsement and incarnation of the jurisprudence, just like the question discussed in the Dark Knight. But Dao Zeng's setting is interesting-she is pregnant. So when Chen Nian asked her, "What if it were your child?", she was speechless.
I think there is a little bit far-fetched here. Given the age of a high school student in Chen Nian, this fatal sentence cannot be said by ordinary high school students. But it is also reasonable. After all, Chen Nian is a high school student who can score 632 points in the college entrance examination after killing, and can write articles like "You in Twenty Years Later" in the examination room.
3.4 Zheng Yi (this is also a homophonic)
Zheng Yi initially distrusted Chen Nian and thought she had a problem. The gap between most adults and minors is that adults think "flies do not bite seamless eggs." When they first went to school to investigate the cause of Xiaodie's death, Lao Yang's gentleness was in sharp contrast with Zheng Yi's fierceness.
later learned that Chen Nian had called the police, and Zheng Yi had always wanted to help Chen Nian after learning about Wei Lai's true face. For example, ask Chen Nian why he didn't call the police. Chen Nian's subtext is useless, the female police officer said you should trust the adults, Zheng Yi did not say a word. Because Lao Yang has already clicked on him: Our perspective is adults, and they are uncontrollable and unpredictable teenagers.
Later, Lao Yang asked Zheng Yi: You tried to protect Chen Nian at first, why did you have to pull both people into the water?
Zheng Yi said a sentence that finally made the audience clear: Let Xiaobei go and take the charge for Chen Nian, in fact, it will kill Chen Nian all his life. why
?
because Chen Nian is a gentleman. Every day Xiao Bei stayed in prison was punishment, torture, and flogging for Chen Nian's heart for an extra day. Chen Nian spent every day in his heart of anxiety, regret, and condemnation, and passed it painfully.
so that when Zheng Yi went to Chen Nian and lied to her that Xiaobei was sentenced to death, Chen Nian could no longer control herself, because she knew that if this were the case, she would be better than herself. Prisons come with more severe punishment.
so. Chen Nian understood this truth, she went to surrender.
Zheng Yi extended justice.
4) The last few shots.
these are also praised in other film critics. The two sat down on both sides of the glass wall, and the shadows overlapped. The rapid flashing and coincidence of multiple shots in front of
paved the way for this. In the overlapping shadow, the two finally smiled at each other, laughing so easily. This is the first time the two have laughed so easily since they met. Chen Nian also said that it was her most relaxing day.
What is relaxation, for a gentleman, is to redeem his sins.
But there are still tears in their eyes. In this period, Dongyu Zhou’s acting skills burst.
is like the light of ten thousand feet, coming from the abyss of ten thousand feet.
In the two police cars, the camera overlaps two different spaces once again, allowing two people who are not in the same police car to talk. (The conversation forgot, because my heartbeat was too fast at that time. The other people in the theater were already crying, and the financial uncle in front of me was also sniffing like a girl.)
Then, a second shot explained Chen Nian surrendered. Zeng Dao's current lens language is really calm, precise, and powerful. The two police cars
finally separated on the elevated highway, representing Chen Nian and Xiaobei, who were actually on two roads in essence. (This will echo at the end)
is still a little anxious, a little faster.
If you compare "Sunny Day", at the end Jiang WenIn the extended Lincoln, a long shot panorama was given.
The first scene of the car driving in "Mulholland Road." All are classics. The shots that
once directed are all proficient, except that the entire movie does not have one or two long slow motions. Relax one by one, matching the speed and the low, maybe the effect is better. Of course, I'm just talking nonsense in a humble manner. Don't blame everyone.
5) The last paragraph.
First, leave an open ending-everyone will guess if the girl is also being bullied.
don't have to guess, I think it must be. I think Mr. Zeng meant that this phenomenon is still very serious (it’s true, I saw the news that boys resisted bullying and threw the perpetrator downstairs two days ago). All sectors of society need continuous attention.
And the scene of why Xiaobei was following Chen Nian echoed the scene of two police cars driving in separately.
Chen Nian and Xiao Bei are never the same kind of people. They will never be like Chen Nian said: "I hope we can walk side by side in everyone's sight one day."
6) After watching the movie.
Dongyu Zhou’s acting skills, I think he should be able to win a queen in an international award. It doesn't matter if you can't. The theme of the movie is already clear in the hidden line of telling the destiny of life.
Who is the perpetrator? Who is the victim? ——Kenneng everyone also has understanding and answers.
is like the name of the movie "Youth of a Youth". Everyone will remember their youth after watching it.
Then, who is "you" in the title?
is me and you.
