Visual aesthetics

Before the trailer and poster of Summer Future were released, we could get a glimpse of the artistic style of the film and be attracted by its unique visual aesthetics.

I was even more surprised when I watched the feature film. I feel that this film really grows on the aesthetics of the current Z generation.

Why is Zifeng Zhang and Leo's Summer Future different from other youth movies?

"Summer Future" does not use the vulgar high-profile lighting of traditional youth movies, nor does it have the romantic soft light that hits the faces of male and female protagonists. Instead, there are many pictures of neon aesthetics and steam wave disco wind.

These visual elements are the most popular and loved by young people.

On the uniqueness and innovation of artistic vision, director Chen Zhengdao has always had his own pursuit, and every new film can bring about changes.

If we carefully look at director Chen Zhengdao's previous works, we will find that he especially likes to enrich the scene scheduling with natural lines and complex lighting inside and outside the building.

For example, "Summer Future" has many night shows, which use changeable lighting to help shape characters and create an atmosphere.

The club and music festival scenes in the film are like being in the electronic scene of the cinema with the protagonist.

mother and daughter relationship

Unique artistic vision is the expression form of film, and form serves the content. Chenchen's mother-daughter relationship and Hao Lei's role as chenchen's mother in Summer Future are different from previous youth films.

Parents after 00 are basically 70 s and 80 s, and their attitude towards children is completely different from that of the older generation.

Some people assume the responsibility of educating their children even before they grow up. In the film, chenchen and her mother get along more like sisters than mother and daughter.

Why is Zifeng Zhang and Leo's Summer Future different from other youth movies?

Chenchen's mother's attitude towards her daughter's love affair is not to stop it blindly, but to guide and fulfill it.

More importantly, chenchen's mother's own marriage has broken down, but she has no good way to tell her daughter. She can only hide it the old way, first and then. This is probably the most familiar routine for parents of the post-80s generation.

As for myself, I am in love with uncle Wang, who sells fruit. In order not to affect the college entrance examination in chenchen, they are still having an underground love affair.

Chenchen's mother and Uncle Wang deliberately alienated each other on WeChat, and Uncle Wang came to see her on his own initiative. These scenes are both real and interesting.

Chenchen's mother's life and emotional confusion, as well as the relationship between her daughter and classmates, form a set of two generations of contrast.

In fact, people's growth has nothing to do with age. We are facing an uncertain future all our lives, and even people in middle age may not be able to handle their own lives well.

For the first time in their lives, chenchen and Zheng Yuxing took the college entrance examination, 18 years old, and bid farewell to their youth.

The second growth is in middle age, the children are growing up, and the older generation as parents are also growing up, and they will also face problems such as indifference and difficulty in family maintenance.

The movie Summer Future is not just about youth.
