For a long time, no movie made me like the movie itself and fell in love with a certain role and actor.
Douban score 8.7, cat's eye score 9.7. After three days of release, the box office quickly broke 500 million, and the reputation was consistent. ...
Yes, it is the latest domestic youth movie-"Better Days".
?
There are signs that:
The good days are completely ruined.
Because it was too amazing to stop, I brushed it twice in a row, and I went to see the original work specially (it's really a long story, so I don't want to comment more here, just discuss my impression of the film), and I'm going to brush it three times and four times.
There are too many reasons to like Better Days, and there are too many film reviews praising the acting skills of Zhou Dongyu and Jackson Yi.
Today, I want to talk about why this obviously dark youth film can make everyone so proud from the perspective of an audience-
In better days, there is always a role, corresponding to the young you.

School bullying of deja vu
As we all know, Good Days is a youth film focusing on school bullying.
There are not so many twists and turns. When it comes to bullying, the wound is completely exposed.
To fight is to fight resolutely;
Crying is crying without scruple.
Love and pain in youth are condensed and amplified, and presented to the audience incisively and vividly.
?
Some people say that this film is like a knife, cutting a hole in the beautiful curtain of youthful poetry.
But I think it's more like a bowl of soup that can restore your memory and let you drink it slowly with the plot.
When bitterness flows through your insides, you will remember those whitewashed and forgotten tears, repressed feelings, and all kinds of neglected and ridiculed dreams in your youth.
?
Chen Nian, a quiet little girl, comes from a humble background and does nothing but get good grades.
She kept a low profile in the class to be almost transparent, but she was bullied.
Why her?
I prefer to interpret her misfortune as:
The difference between one idea and another.
If it weren't for that day, she cried and covered Hu Xiaodie with a school uniform coat, she wouldn't be involved in the investigation by the police, and she wouldn't be forced to take the bullied baton.
?
In fact, she and Hu Xiaodie have a general relationship and haven't said a few words.
Hu Xiaodie was humiliated to pieces by his classmates before his death. She knew, but like other students, she chose silence.
She did, but in a flash, kindness overcame indifference.
For bullies, it doesn't matter who the target is. It is important to have a goal.
A moment of good thoughts gave Chen Nian a new goal.
?
Are you familiar with it?
This jungle campus food chain.
When I was in junior high school, there were three famous senior sisters in our school. The first one is similar to Wei Lai. He is beautiful, has a good family, doesn't care about his grades, and is overbearing at school. Most teachers choose to turn a blind eye.
Rumor has it that they will make an appointment with annoying girls at a good time and place, and clearly prepare for being beaten.
Dare not go? Then call someone at the class gate, or wait for her on her way home.
Cheating money, abusing, beating ... are similar to those in movies and news.
?
The most exaggerated time, each of them slapped a girl, tore her eardrum and went straight to the hospital.
At that time, like most onlookers, I covered my mouth exaggeratedly and secretly rejoiced:
Fortunately, it wasn't me.
Weak and selfish, right?
But I am afraid of being beaten, and I am even more afraid of those unimaginable bullying methods.
School bullying is so common.
It's just that after graduation, as bystanders, we easily choose to forget.
?
02
Young love drifting away
Because the main line of school bullying, the whole movie, is full of tears and haze.
Several scenes that really make people cry are all related to love.
You may not have met school bullying, but you must have experienced young love.
?
That's really treating each other as treasures and giving wholeheartedly.
What do you mean by distressed?
When the person you swore to protect was bullied black and blue because of his accidental departure, his clothes were torn and his hair was cut randomly, the whole person was like a wounded doll.
But you can't do anything, because you know that even if you take revenge intact, your girl will still be black and blue.
That kind of helpless love is killing people.
?
When I shaved my head, Xiaobei said nothing, only tears flowed quietly.
After that, he acted resolutely and shaved his hair.
Since I can't do anything, I will become ugly with you and fight against this cold-blooded world together.
?
This is only the impulse and sincerity of teenagers. It has nothing to do with matter, but it is strong enough to piece together a broken heart.
Can you protect me?
He didn't answer, but made a promise with action.
?
Two teenagers, unable to protect themselves, stubbornly choose to protect each other in their own way, looking for even a trace of sweetness from suffering.
Those bits and pieces of companionship that are never spoken but self-evident have become a bunch of faint light in the gloomy youth.
?
The most impressive scene was the quarrel between two policemen outside the interrogation room after the incident.
Female police officers firmly believe that:
No one will be charged with rape and murder for another person.
But Zheng Yi looked at her seriously:
You and I won't, but they are teenagers.
Adults only talk about pros and cons, and children talk about feelings.
Only when you are a teenager can you make a person willing to sacrifice his life to hold up another person's future.
?
A three-minute dialogue-free drama that touched countless audiences, two actors, with their eyes and expressions, conveyed their emotions layer by layer.
This is the highest light moment of the whole movie, and if nothing happens, it will become the ultimate classic shot in domestic youth movies in recent years.
?
In addition to acting, the silent tacit understanding between the two teenagers also moved us.
This is an emotion that only true love can connect, and this is a purity that can only be felt by real understanding.
We are very touched, maybe we had it when we were young.
We shed tears, maybe we have lost it forever.
03
Suddenly remind of the mood of teenagers.
Mr. Lu Xun has a famous saying:
The joys and sorrows of human beings are not connected. I just think they are noisy.
But what if this sadness and joy is a fragment that you have experienced but forgotten?
For example, the joy of teenagers, the sensitivity of teenagers and the tears of teenagers.
?
When you were a teenager, you thought it was unbearable pain in your life. You don't understand why adults can laugh so easily and dismiss it as "making a mountain out of a molehill".
When you grow up, you will inevitably experience more hardships in life. After you get through it, think about your student days, and you will sincerely sigh:
It's all pediatrics.
You have become the kind of adult that Chen Nian's mother said:
Forgetfulness, don't take anything to heart, you will forget it sooner or later anyway.
Why did you forget?
Because I'm used to it.
Accustomed to the hardships of life, accustomed to all disappointments, accustomed to hiding emotions, accustomed to accepting all unfairness.
Why are you used to it?
Because I've been through a lot.
By comparison, I found the tragedy that I thought the sky was falling when I was a teenager, but that's all.
But as a teenager, there is no comparison.
?
Bitterness is bitterness. It really hits you. I don't know how to avoid it, and I can't see the future.
At that time, the sky collapsed.
For example, Xiao Bei in the movie was black and blue in the first scene, and was beaten by a group of people, but he didn't say a word, and his eyes smelled of desert.
From this shot alone, we know that it is not the first time that he has been beaten.
Or, this is his life.
?
But how old is he?
In the movie, Chen Nian quietly asked XiaoBei:
Does it hurt?
The boy's face was expressionless:
Just get used to it.
Since 13 years old, he has lived this life of fighting and killing.
When his father ran away from home and his mother remarried, he became an unwelcome burden.
A 13-year-old child was forced to go out to the society.
In his cognition, the world is like this, "Either be bullied or bully others."
?
So he had to fight and hold up the small sky above his head with his fist.
How many desperate days and nights, how many scars, can you say "used to it" at the age of 17 with a whole body of pain?
That day, he quietly shed a tear, focusing and said:
You are the first person to ask me if it hurts.
People who have not been treated well are the easiest to identify kindness and cherish it the most.
?
So he was tempted for her, paid for her, and even risked his life for her.
On the way to school, he said:
You go first, I'll be behind you.
?
Before he was deliberately arrested, he said:
I won't lose unless you win.
?
Exaggeration?
Not at all.
When you grow up, you will endure so many grievances at work, bite your teeth and die, and you will also be defeated by the care and affirmation of others.
Our desire for warmth has not changed from beginning to end.
All glory and pain must be experienced before they can fade.
?
The film used a lot of shots to render the college entrance examination.
Those tensions and pressures that are gradually buried in memory are clearly restored on the big screen.
A mountain of textbooks and exercises, endless exams, changing seats, doing homework and reviewing. ...
After leaving senior three, I can't find that kind of despair any more.
But you know, they once existed.
?
The most touching thing about this movie is:
Can awaken the memory of teenagers in adults' hearts. As long as you are still moved, you can understand teenagers.
You have experienced the delicacy and sensitivity, grievances and pains of youth, you have had stories, and you have really experienced the ups and downs of emotions. Even now, it seems to be just a small emotion of moaning.
You know, the suffering in youth is actually particularly difficult;
The pain of youth is actually painful.
When we grow up, we can find the feelings of teenagers. Maybe we can learn to look after teenagers again as an experienced person.
?
We live in slums, but some people still look up at the stars.
This famous saying of Wilde was written by Chen Nian in his exercise book, which must have been used by many people in writing.
Sewers of life are everywhere.
For teenagers, being bullied, isolated, neglected, or even just a little grievance is equivalent to pushing them into the sewer.
The difference is that they can look up at the starry sky in the sewer, and they are more eager to climb out of the sewer, go to a bigger world and explore more possibilities of life.
?
Therefore, even if Chen Nian is bullied, she should hold her breath, escape from the town, go to Beijing, go to the best university, and rewrite her destiny and life.
Therefore, even if Xiaobei lives at the bottom, he has not lost his integrity and kindness. Even if he uses the wrong way, it will only make people feel distressed.
I don't know when it started. It seems that only teenagers are left looking up at the stars.
And after watching the movie, you suddenly woke up. Do you want to look up?
04
A best ending.
a fresh start
What can we do in the face of school bullying?
At the end of the film, gently point out a direction for us.
Chen Nian, who took the college entrance examination again, became an English teacher after graduation.
She left the campus and returned to it.
Bullying still exists, and this time, she stood up silently and guarded her students.
?
Many bad things are beyond our power to change.
However, I still hope that you will not be disappointed in society or in mankind.
Life kisses me with pain, but I return it with songs.
When the law is still being further improved and children's safety has not been fully guaranteed, as ordinary people, we might as well be as quiet as Chen Nian, pay more attention and accompany more, and hold up an umbrella for their sky.
?
We are all teenagers.
We also realized how cruel it is behind the innocence and beauty of teenagers.
You were a teenager when you cried at the movies.
?
Thank you for the beautiful days. You woke up as a teenager.
Those young and sincere feelings, cherish, despair and pain, since you remember them, don't forget them again.
What the world looks like depends on ourselves.
When everyone contributes, we can protect teenagers and protect the world.
