"Broken Place" film review: the cost of growing up is far more painful than imagined

The deliberate misleading of the

producer and the trailer actually hurt the movie, making the audience only think that "Broken Place" is just a sexual spoof journey of two low-level teenagers chasing the broken place (including what I originally thought) . It can also be classified as a rare open large-scale comedy in Taiwan, but you also need to know that its essence is actually what we have never thought about behind the word "Broken Place". Regarding the meaning of the other layer that contains emotion and thought, its sadness and severity are greater than joy and joy.

"Broken place" is of course exciting and joyful, but this film is not to tell you how sweet the broken place is, but to tell you that if you want to "turn an adult", it is not a broken place that can bring peace to the world. Downwind. Zhuan adults are not as beautiful as you think. In contrast, the damage is not all that is more insignificant. It is a happy moment and a bad thing. The choreography of the twists and turns of the past and the future conveys respect and understanding in sexual affairs, and at the same time interprets the revolution. The process of the grown-ups was heartbroken, and with such unexpected ritual enlightenment arguments for adulthood, the essence of "Broken Place" is much more cruel than we thought.

has a tonality in the overall operation. In fact, "Broken Place" is not as low-level as we thought. Later, it was just that they were still naive after the break. It is almost irrelevant to turn to adults to resort to broken places. It shattered the unnecessary fantasy of this layer of young people. Even after the tragedy happened one after another, the artifacts and Chen Zulie's fragmentation made them no longer feel that broken places could change anything.

Desire, friendship, and growing up overnight, the three are one of the emotional propositions gradually stacked in "Broken Place". The friendship between the two male protagonists is even more important and the only lead to the core. One comes from an ordinary single-parent family. , In the soul, it seems to have everything, and one is a child from a wealthy family, who seems to live a rich life, but is truly lonely, and another girl nicknamed Xi Shi, tired of social torture, longing In love, the characters all have desires for each other.

"Broken Place" through people who seem to be normal in society (actually pretended to be), but are actually very marginal, mixed together, and deconstructed a growing up story of saying goodbye to youth. The heroine alone will not be universally agreed. You can know that "Broken Place" is not as simple as many people expect. However, the film is unexpectedly serious, profound and unforgettable. Behind the delusion of "Broken Place", Li Zhuan adults are actually better off. A long way to go. The character descriptions of Chen Zulie and the artifact are very good, but when you see the journey of the artifact, you will find that "broken place" is equivalent to "turning to an adult". It is a shit. In contrast, Chen Zulie, who helped the artifact all the way, is heartbroken. His heart echoes with Xi Shi, that is what it really looks like in the adult world.

"Broken Place" is really more sad than happy, I really think about the direction of this movie completely wrong, the second half of the tearing and pulling is both emotional and moving, the point is This movie is so beautiful. The first 30 minutes is like a pure youth campus comedy, and the next hour is turned into a thrilling night road movie.

put the three of them together, collided with each other's values, and also saw the difficulty of wanting to become an adult. The directions of the two paragraphs before and after are not the same, it is completely unexpected, but the tonal grafting will hardly have a sense of fracture (much better than the same file "Ghost Story in War") very smoothly, bringing the topic down to the complete Later, from time to time, the experience of adulthood and minors has effectively become an aphrodisiac song that promotes growth and hard talk. It is absurd but not funny, popular but thoroughly makes people think about the meaning of adulthood. Teenagers always feel that "breaking place" symbolizes growing up, but although "breaking place" breaks the subject with this idea, after the intervention of the elements of friendship, death, and road spiritual journey, the movie has completely freed from the shackles of sexual comedy. .

uses the horrible misfortune that comes right after adulthood. It means to say to the audience, "Do you think that a broken place represents adulthood? Abandon this naive idea as soon as possible. Adulthood is not as simple as you think." Broken, the result? His naivety can be seen at any time, and even Xi Shi, who is no longer attached to life, still regards "breaking the place" as his goal before death. Why do you put the "broken places" in adulthood and the "broken places" before death at the beginning and the end. Xi Tzu's sentence "Do you think being an adult is to become an adult? When you find that a good thing will not happen in adulthood, you will I would rather never come outI think it’s enough to summarize the central proposition of the whole movie, and the ending of the film is good enough to evoke the emotions of the "fish", with the montage of cross-editing on the journey and the ending of open liberation. The strength of emotions really makes you unable to yourself for a long time.

"Broken Place" is directed by Lin Lishu. The split double-sided journey has excellent tonality. Under the misleading of sexual comedy (there are still some, but it’s not as important as it seems), it leads the youth The girl embarks on a journey of breaking through the "predicament" of adulthood. Lin Lishu once said that he had an idea that he was eager to convey when he created "Broken Place", and then he said, "Many times people are stuck at the age of adulthood, and they are often anxious to prove to the world that I am an adult and want to escape Parents control, but they make too hasty decisions, and this kind of overnight growth is often impossible to go back." In a word, he appealed to the helplessness of the "Broken Place" movie.

discusses growing up, and the thousands of loneliness and regrets behind the laughter. The first half of the treatment of love and sex is indeed quite adult-driven. The desire for sex is born, but Under the hot stimulus, there is no less popular thing. Indeed, in the case of a girl with a naked upper body in front of her with passion, it is a boy who is eager to take the next step, but the girl’s refusal and the hint of faith on her neck, although seductive, but Lin Lishu is gentle and protective. To convey the difference between the sexes on sex, and the importance of mutual respect in seeking pleasure, of course, girls must know how to protect themselves and have the autonomy of their own bodies in the process of growing up. After taking care of them, the sense of filth is eliminated, but more I wrote a thoughtful (girl) and critical (boy), but men are like this, they choose to buy them if they don’t have it, so Lin Lishu uses this extra "sexual vent" as a starting point to let the two male protagonists experience it. In the magical night, the sad express car that turned to adults was dropped straight down.

Delusion to become an adult has never been as beautiful as you think. Lin Lishu uses a simple but deeply resonant and moving growth script to slow down the power and refinement of sex, and magnify those adult issues that are more important than sex. The echoing water before and after, the smallness of the swimming pool and the largeness of the sea, the immersive swimming and the trapped drowning, outstandingly bring out the sadness and helplessness of two different ages, not fancy, but realistic and heavy. Perhaps the darkness of life and death does not necessarily represent growth, but perhaps, the pain after growing up is more than happiness, that's how life is better than death.

All actors have completely performed the joys and sorrows of the passing of youth. The main actors Wu Zhaoxuan, Yang Yixuan, Guo Wenyi, Zeng Peiyu and Hemu's performances are all unexpected and outstanding, and they are really good enough to attract the audience into that deeply. There was a deep torrent of emotions. Regrets, struggles, regrets, wandering and missing, the youth that is gone forever, Wu Zhaoxuan’s handsome Hong Kong accent first impression, and then his role is rich, but his parents divorced, his father came to Taiwan, the most painful His mother has a new family in Hong Kong and can no longer be cared for. He has everything, but he is no longer close to his father and stepmother. The only thing he can rely on is the little things that accompany the artifact. The friendship is his. All.

Chen Zulie is the richest and lonely character in the movie, and Wu Zhaoxuan will show the superficial and happy appearance of the outside, but he does not know that the bottom of his heart is a high wall, sometimes the white eyes are just looking for some family in life Unable to give his attention, Wu Zhaoxuan's interpretations were all distressing in the end, lamenting that his helplessness was finally relieved.

However, Yang Yixuan is quite impatient. The point is that this is the narrative effect that the director wants. Therefore, Yang Yixuan has indeed expressed the naivety of the artifact to be annoying, so as to convey the truth that the damage is not the same as the adult. His face, Chen Zulie’s doing so much for him is proof that he cherishes his feelings, but the divine tool completely used unreasonable trouble to destroy their friendship, which caused the two to part ways after Chen Zulie’s sentence "We are always brothers" is particularly distressing. At the same time, let the artifact be naive enough to have a strong cruelty (after all, it almost cut off the friendship) eradicating the hypocrisy of the broken place and turning adult thoughts, but it seems that you have lost everything. What to change or grow is a must in life, but it is definitely not the threshold for becoming an adult.

has gone so far and lost so much, we finally understand that the cost of growing up is far more painful than imagined. Wu Zhaoxuan and Yang Yixuan interpret the two sides of adulthood. In the cheerful eighteen-year-old needs, everything will only get worse. After the eighteenth world. The performance of the two unexpectedly grabbed the audience's heart, showing the frustration of youth and madness that are bound to grow up. It seems that we all know that not long after the age of eighteen, only full of regrets will remain.

, Xi Tzu, who was dragged in midway, is played by Guo Wenyi. The only thing in the bleak life is to watch Chen Zulie’s live broadcast of silent love. The addition of this character who has experienced several years of social experience is a kind of artifact and Chen Zulie. The contrast between the front and the back is also the necessary posture to break the illusion of being an adult. The reason why Xi Tzu is important is that in the "Broken Place", it deepens the social weakness and the hardship of losing aspiration and seeking death. The two kids were still naive and thought that a good life was about to begin after the age of eighteen, and they pulled out the frustration and sadness of the film's realism.

Guo Wenyi’s performance is very good, and the characters are even more exciting. "Broken Place" has these deeply portrayed characters, which are really good. However, from the trailer or poster, it looks like Mumu, which is only possible for almost ten minutes. The scene is quite a pity, but it is that large-scale scene, the figure is really super beautiful, and it is enough to be fascinating. Zeng Peiyu is also very beautiful, but most of them can only play corpses. The ten-minute role of Mu Sun Youth is actually very good. In addition, the guest appearances of Dou Zhikong, Li Qianna, Natto and Huang Denghui are all quite interesting theatrical effects. , Quite fun.

is hard to imagine. I originally thought of "Broken Place" as a kind of brainless comedy in which teenagers go around with sexual desires. I would appreciate and love the narrative structure of "Broken Place". , Because it is really completely different from what I thought, and it is really serious about a serious growth story that we can all empathize with. It severely beat the title of the film and our wild reverie about the damage. A slap, cruelly telling you, the ruin is of no use to your road to adulthood.

However, perhaps, the artifact and Chen Zulie’s crazy youth image did not resonate with us at first, but at the end of the song, when we recalled the scene, we had to be moved to realize that that is the craziest appearance of youth, but Lin Lishu wanted The third act can arouse emotions, and the "delusions" and "realness" of the two protagonists before and after they want to become adults. The pulling contrast presented by the implied meaning is a bit exaggerated and exciting, but the overall fun and narrative effect is still excellent, but it can be more meticulously stacked at the end of the adult helpless sigh, which makes people unable to help tears.

Chen Zulie's richness but no family love, the loneliness of his heart, the sorrow that the artifact has not been able to truly turn the adult, and the little faith that Xi Shi puts down, the three characters linger in the middle of their lives and are dying and struggling, and finally only that little remains. The beautiful youth can be remembered. Crazy, crying, living, a "fish", a memory montage marquee, bid farewell to life and also to say goodbye to youth, after all, we are just a fish that can be forgotten, when this world is gone Oxygen lets us breathe, and it's time to let it go.
