"You are young" directed by Zeng Guoxiang, Zhou Dongyu , Yi Yan Qianxi, Yin Fang and other campus youth films.
"Young You" announced its participation in the Berlin Film Festival as early as January, and then announced its withdrawal. In the middle, it went through the June fixation and withdrawal. The release process can be described as twists and turns. This time, the files were set abruptly, and most theaters received the copy only one day in advance. Although
has twists and turns, there is one thing to say: The quality of "You are a teenager" is very good.
The theme of "Youth in Youth" focuses on "school bullying". Different from the many absurd and grotesque campus youth films in previous years, although the protagonists in "Young You" also have dramatic experiences, the environment they live in is quite real, which is very realistic. The faces of all beings in the "school bullying" incident.
In the bullying incident surrounding Chen Nian in this film, the audience not only saw the malicious and unrepentant perpetrators, the abusers who were afraid of their turn to their accomplices, and were unable to resist and could only endure the abuse, but also saw the avoidance of the abused Bystanders who are not so good, teachers who encourage the abused to continue to concentrate on the college entrance examination, and the male students who can only comfort with words.
These flashy supporting roles prompted the audience to think deeper: Is our education only instilling the social Darwinism of "the weak eating the strong" in our children, and only telling children to chase success?
Bystanders think that as long as the college entrance examination is over and become an adult, Chen Nian's shadow of being bullied will dissipate, and he will forget like an adult. But this is not Chen Nian's true thoughts, but what her parents and teachers keep telling her. How can the pain heal so easily?
Have we really paid attention to the children's mental health? Or just talk about it, go through the scene? The supporting role in the
film also played a role in substituting the audience into the film. Most of us have never experienced campus bullying, but we have all comforted others. We are like Chen Nian's male classmates, talking about super-sounding chicken soup, encouraging others to be strong and impressed by themselves. But this is actually a secondary injury to the victim.
I remembered an interview with the master Guo.
"I really hate people who advise you to be magnanimous without knowing what the situation is. This kind of person should stay away from him, and it will hurt you when thunder strikes. You are stabbed, and this is bleeding, he comes up Say, this is nothing, you have to be strong. Are you going to die?" Why do we stand and talk without backache, because the knife is not stuck in us.
's pale and weak caring in the supporting role reflects Liu Beishan's substantial protection of Chen Nian's actions. The film is trying to simplify the sound as much as possible. Many scenes expressing emotions have basically no background sound, and they are quiet. The quieter the scene, the more it can express Chen Nian’s tolerance and the resulting pain, and the more it can express Liu Beishan’s implicit and speechlessness. Caring.
, the policeman in the supporting role, is also a kind of irony. Chen Nian could not provide protection when he was bullied, but after the accident, he asked Chen Nian why he didn't call the police. I feel that even across the screen, I have been tortured, and I may have acted as an indifferent bystander.
The actors in this film are also very good. Zhou Dongyu's stubbornness, forbearance, and emotional outburst are of textbook level. Yi Yang Qianxi can really be called a surprise, the edges and corners of his brow bones really fit the role perfectly. We saw Wang Yuan in the "Earth Forever" at the beginning of the year, and Yi Yang Qianxi gave a wonderful performance in the "Young You" at the end of the year. TFboys is really a treasure combination.
Of course, this article still has obvious flaws. Although the script of this film is very neat, but the later plot turned to suspense crime, somewhat separated from the previous plot, which has the issue of director's editing choice, but more importantly, the issue of script. I don’t know how many times this is, I have seen the shadow of Keigo Higashino in other people’s works. Liu Beishan is completely the Kirihara Ryuji in "Youth in the Young", and even the plot development is adapted according to the path of "White Night".
The twists and turns in the release of "You Are Young" are also due to its fusionproblem.
So, this film is worth watching, but there is still a long way to go from the masterpiece.
