Chapter 271: In addition to being moved, it is still moving

Move! That's right! It's just moving! In addition to moving, it is still moving!

Some movies are not to watch other people's acting, but to see their own lives.

For most people, getting old may still be a future tense, but who hasn't been young!

Therefore, "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years" swept South Korea as soon as it was released, suppressing the large-scale "Monster of the Han River", creating a miracle in the number of moviegoers.

After watching the movie, countless people ran to the Internet to share their youthful frivolity, and a qiē memory in school came to their faces, the movie was like a catalyst, a needle down, and all that appeared in front of them was the past.

Many people who have been out of school for many years and have entered middle age, because of this movie, they remembered their ignorant first love, classmates who used to get along day and night, and all kinds of absurd, funny, sad, and boring youth pasts, all floating like dust.

If "The Little Thing of First Love" is only about the secret love of adolescent girls, then "Those Years" is about all the campus memories.

Although the film also uses an unforgettable first love as an emotional thread throughout, in addition, a detail about the school has been vividly restored.

To be more precise, it is a vivid restoration of high school and college, so in terms of skills, this movie is almost equal to zero, it is a series of memory fragments, unfolding from the subjective perspective of the male protagonist, and the rhythm is inevitably scattered, but these cannot stop the unique charm of the film, with real details in place, evoking the common memory of most people, with the performance of the actor's natural nature, it is natural that this film can become what it is now.

There is no doubt that youth films are not easy to make, especially now that the Korean film market is full of special effects blockbusters from Hollywood. Even Korean films are slowly starting to integrate with international standards.

In this market environment, how to combine the individual feelings of the creators with the group experience of moviegoers requires wisdom and courage to grasp the scale in this regard.

When Lee Jun-hee was writing the script, he hypnotized himself almost every day, forcing himself to accept that he was Kim Ha-seok, and that he had a crush on a girl named Yoo Yeon-hee when he was in high school.

So much so that the reality has arrived, and when the script is completed. Lee Jun-hee really thought he was Kim Ha-seok, and he really had a crush on a girl named Yoo Yeon-hee.

It is precisely because of the truth that more and more people have found their former selves in this movie, and this movie continues to be popular.

Now, when people watch this movie, they are collectively nostalgic, when people have long blurred the line between reality and fiction. Choose to zoom in on the details of those shared experiences and automatically ignore the others.

For example, everyone will have a nickname, every bad student will have a good popularity, and every class will have a fat person. Every boy is a handjob, and after graduation, they all go their separate ways, and every first love ends without a problem, for the national exam. I studied until I was dark, and when I entered the university, I lived in a mess. The summer I graduated from high school, I went on a long trip at the age of 18, which became the most shining passage in my memory, and so on.

These qiē about the school are like old photos sandwiched on a string, each one is so vivid, recording everyone's growth and transformation, boredom and infatuation.

Now, in the film Tongguò, this string of ropes has been activated in an instant, and the enthusiastic pursuit that follows has little to do with the film itself.

When people walk into the cinema, they are going to be nostalgic and moved!

Whether it's Jin Xiashi or Yoo Yeon-hee, it's all the people who watch the movie themselves, and the people sitting in the classroom are not so much the actors in the play as the ones in their memories.

Of course, a movie is always a movie, and no matter how real it is, it will inevitably have exaggerations, for example, handjobs in class, high school boys are all in front of their mothers at home. Walking around naked, these plots seem really incredible, but because of the previous foreshadowing, these not so common phenomena have also become a part of everyone's conversation.

In fact, there has always been no shortage of campus style in Korean movies, but so many previous works are not as popular as "Those Years", what is the reason?

In fact, it is because the story described by Lee Jun-hee is more real, more common, and more subjective.

He cut in from a boy's point of view, but he did both men and women, Kim Ha-seok studied hard under the inspiration of Yoo Yeon-hee, his white shirt was covered with ballpoint pen marks poked by Yoo Yeon-hee, he drew graffiti all over his middle school textbooks, he broke up with Yoo Yeon-hee in college, he hid in the dormitory to watch A. movies, until they walked out of the campus many years later, broke off contact, and met at each other's weddings, this is really a copy of how many campus legends.

Finally, the kiss at the wedding was too impressive.

Let everyone who watches the movie have to admire Lee Junxi's whimsy, it is fun enough, ruthless enough, and decisive enough!

The flashback here is just right, the life is not long, the memories are full, the past is all over again, what could be more cruel, real, romantic, and bloody than this ending?

The whole film was also ignited again because of that kiss, just like playing a game to clear the customs, except for the addiction, the rest is really beyond words.

This is actually a feeling, people who like this movie, maybe even after watching it, can't tell what is so good about "Those Years"?

I can't use the language of cinema to explain the awesomeness of this film.

There is no doubt that Lee Jun-hee as a screenwriter is still a novice, this is the second movie script he has created, and even more so for actors, almost all of them are new faces on the big screen with little acting experience.

However, this is also their greatest charm, sincerity, freshness, and enthusiasm.

Just like everyone's youth, when you look back, no matter what, you are full of emotion.

People grow up, and then they find that the reality has become cruel, so many people begin to need memories, if they can, it is better to live in good memories.

"Those Years" is such a beautiful memory, so much so that many people feel that what they are watching is not a youth film, but an opportunity to find resonance and substitute the story for themselves to paralyze the cruelty of reality, or to make up for their own too dull youth.

Although many people's youth is not as lively and joyful as in the movie, everyone can find some resonance in it, and people see that it is no longer the girl they once chased together, but the pure self.

Tong guò films, people discover. It turns out that when I was still so pure, so stupid, and so cute, I was just that myself, and I was no longer the person I am now, and I don't know how I became what I am now, in short, it has changed, and my youth can never go back.

At the end of the movie, when the images are intertwined and constantly switched. I believe that there are many people who hope that there is really a parallel time and space or time travel, in that case, you can no longer be the current self, you can no longer be the current you, more importantly, we can no longer be the current us, we can also have another opportunity to make up for those regrets today, but unfortunately the reality is always the reality, the reality is there. Just those most familiar strangers in youth.

Of course, any work that has been loved by most people is always indispensable to some people who speak against it, such as those so-called predecessors who have long been eliminated by the film and television industry. They accuse the "Those Years" movie of being full of heavy tastes, such as those sex. Insinuation, as well as disrespect for teachers, are contrary to the traditional moral norms of Korean society.

For these people. I believe that many supporters of "Those Years" will not hesitate to raise their middle fingers, and the so-called "heavy taste" part of the movie is an important part of the youthful posture. Nature can also represent a part of growth.

After watching this movie, many people feel that "Those Years" has brought them some indescribable power, which actually comes from "self-awakening".

"My youth is Yoo Yeon-hee" is slowly peeled off from "My whole life is Yoo Yeon-hee".

When you understand this, a qiē is irreversible, and in parallel time and space, the existence of blackening and whitening has nothing to do with you, and suddenly you find that you have grown up.

Many people who have read the story may admit one thing after calming down and analyzing it, that is, Kim Ha-seok and Yoo Yeon-hee are really not two people who are suitable for being together.

Their differences aren't just differences in their understanding of hot-blooded fighting.

For various reasons, Yoo Yeon Hee-sung once thought that Jin Xia-seok was the most important person in his life, and his life was almost completely changed by her, which was also when he was easy to be changed.

As we get to know each other better, maybe those differences in our bodies will even gradually consume each other, but that doesn't mean that when you care about something, even if you may lose it in the end, you don't have to grasp it.

Like, Yoo Yeon-hee asked Kim Ha-seok, what can you gain from here.

This question even touches on the most fundamental place where the story itself strives to reflect and explore, why should you like someone?

What can you learn?

After all, at that time, the existence of the self was still insufficient, and how to bear a complex feeling called "love" was more like an imitation of a predetermined culture known through the media, but when too much effort was put into a thing, it would inevitably become important, but often later, this idea would be overturned.

Sartre declares that existence precedes essence, that there is no God, there is no immutable human nature, that man is completely free and can design himself, and it is this sense of self-designed responsibility that makes man feel anxious and afraid.

From waiting to be fed, to being safely based on the world, people have always had all kinds of **, then, in "seeing what you like, stretching out your hand to make a sound and wanting", to "quickly assess the value difference between yourself and the goal, and then strive to get the maximum return with the minimum investment", there is a transition period that is not long or short, and the most critical turning point is often completed with an adolescent love transition.

In the speech 'Life is a Non-stop Battle', Lee Jun-hee angrily emphasized the preciousness of childishness, and used the final helpless fact as a counter-proof that when men mature, the probability of women being objectified is increasing.

Of course, in the infantile period, the essence of the "goddess" may still be far away, but the difference is that men will strive to start attaching something to themselves that they have never thought of before for that goal, and strive to be a better person, even if they feel that they have not been themselves.

Now recalling the past, while regretting it, you may smile, this is self-awakening!

Of course, most people, when watching this movie. They don't think about it so much, they are simply drawn closer to the memories and then moved.

The touching in this kind of memory is different from NRG's previous song "Old Boy", compared with "Old Boy", which is more strongly inspirational, "Those Years" is like a love letter written by Fang after it was established, written to the girl with a ponytail that year, the words trickle and surging silently, both flowing out of a fresh picture of youth and love. and always reflects the audience's own shadow.

If the story, characters or situations in a movie are always reminiscent of a time that is still fresh in your memory, then the movie is probably a good movie.

The movie "Those Years" is full of worship and praise for youth, those hazy sentimentality, simple and direct emotions embellished in it, there is no cruel story, and there is a positive and healthy attitude in a small freshness.

It is this attitude towards youth that makes the movie cover up the scene of studying hard at night just for the sake of going to school, and the jealousy between friends born of emotions with any gray color. Instead, it is presented with a sweet little ambiguity that gradually deepens, as well as a free and unrestrained romanticization of the "bad" students.

This is a warm story, think about it like this. It can amuse one's own personal whispers, almost all of which become people's own stories, and the situations are always so familiar.

In those years, people liked girls with ponytails. In those years, good students and bad students were always tied up in one-on-one support groups, those years. In those years, a group of Japanese people's artists never gave up, soothed and grew up, and in those years, a qiē was very beautiful.

The beauty of youth does not mean that it has not been boring or sentimental, but that all emotions and experiences seem to have turned into warm amber under the wrapping of time, hanging on the chest and accompanying every heartbeat for the rest of your life.

The movie "Those Years" brings people back to the memories of young children who are experiencing all kinds of bastard jokes and ambiguous laughter, just like people who watch movies.

There have also been many campus-themed movies in the Korean film and television industry, but the strange thing is that compared with those movies that also express their youth, people obviously admire the beauty of "Those Years" more, but they don't want to agree with the distress of those campus-themed movies.

The same youth theme, the same growth theme, and the same intertwined and ambiguous emotional stories, but why are the circumstances so different?

In previous campus-themed movies, the protagonists had to come and grow up with pain, and were even forcibly woven into various huge social events, but it never considered whether these pains were turned into the life and blood of this generation.

"Those Years" is always crazy about "liking you", turning sadness into beauty, it returns to youth itself, and this may be what people want to see now.

Looking back, these are two diametrically opposed directions from the starting point, one is that the teenager does not know the taste of sorrow and falls in love with the floor, and the other is flaunting that people do not hurt the teenager.

In the final analysis, people still believe in beauty more, even if Kim Ha-seok and Yoo Yeon-hee did not come together like a cliché melodrama, but the happiness of everyone at the wedding was so natural, and that heartfelt blessing was enough for the whole story to reach an emotional peak at the end, and it was enough to draw the most perfect exclamation mark for the youth of those years!

The wishing lamp that floated away went to another time and space, where the written questions and answers became vows and were together forever.

All nostalgia always has to be waved and become the object of nostalgia, and the girl with a ponytail will always be frozen in the shallow smile that turns her head sharply, wrapped in a love letter, and slowly yellowed.

For the audience, all the warm and beautiful youthful memories in the light and shadow will awaken the amber soul in the heart again and again, those years, those people, when will they come again.

"Those Years" can bring so much resonance, emotion, moving, to be honest, it is also beyond Lee Junxi's expectations, at first he wrote this script, just because of the righteousness of a friend, he wanted to help Kim Tae-hee get rid of the embarrassing position of the vase, but as the creation progressed, he had more and more ideas, from the first draft to the final completion, this script Lee Jun-hee spent more than a year, constantly deleting, adding, and focusing on pen and ink portrayal, which is why there is today's "Those Years".

The success of the movie was expected by Lee Jun-hee, after all, how much effort was put in, how much return there would be, and Lee Jun-hee really paid, so now it's time for him to harvest.

With the popularity of "Those Years", more and more topics have risen around this movie, and even some people regard this movie as a subject and are constantly researching, as for the things they have studied, maybe even the author Li Junxi, at the beginning, did not think of so much.

There is no doubt that all the actors in the movie are on fire, Lee Jun-hee seems to have become a first-line actor in South Korea, all he lacks now is a trophy with enough weight, Kim Tae-hee finally got rid of the title of vase and began to march towards a powerful idol, and even the actor of Kim Ha-seok, who has not many scenes, has skyrocketed in popularity.

Like the original "The Little Thing of First Love", "Those Years" has now become a phenomenon, a phenomenon that has aroused strong resonance in the whole society. (To be continued......)
