Chapter Seventy-Nine: Bad Reviews

"Those Years" is a mixture of many elements - the unique way of thinking and outlook on life of this generation in the late 70s, and at the same time, it makes a completely different interpretation from the previous ones in terms of understanding love.

From my personal point of view, on the one hand, Lin Mu exudes a strong sense of narcissism in both the original novel and the film, and this "feel-good" sense of superiority makes the overall tone of the movie weird; On the other hand, his delicate narration of the ambiguous emotions of the young and strong student days is directed at the hearts of the people, which is simply a true restoration of our past years.

The pure and fiery memories of youth, the rich imagination that is very good at telling stories, the not so rich life experience, and the relatively pale film skills, the combination of the four contradictions is a bit strange. But I think that's why so many people love to watch it and are fascinated by it.

Relatively speaking, there are indeed some more "pure" things in the bones of the crooked people, and their "prestigious" literary and artistic tone is not the product of Yang Dechang and Hou Xiaoxian's locked up in a dark room while racking their brains and beating pistols YY - they are really literary and artistic, and the source of this kind of literature and art lies in the sincere yearning and pursuit of beautiful things.

Most of the crooked people do not have the concepts of pretending, egg, and pure men in the thinking of mainlanders, and will not have the natural irony of "little freshness", will not have inexplicable hostility to "petty bourgeoisie", will not have the dodge and self-deprecation of the title of "literary youth", and will not have the contempt for the innate overlook of "youth idol dramas".

I think in a certain dimension, this is a kind of sadness of the current situation of the cultural background of the mainland, we always seem to have too much pretentious superiority, and it seems that only the most in-depth, talented, elegant, professional, and demanding literary and artistic works are worthy of our noble soul and connotation.

Naïve people can't find a girlfriend, naïve people can't get understanding, kind people themselves feel like they're stupid, men who wear jeans and T-shirts after work definitely don't have the ability, and women who wear student clothes and ponytails after work are pretending to be pure, and girls who pretend to be pure are definitely not pure. If your speech is too deep, people will scold you for pretending to be a grandson, and if your speech is not deep, people will ignore you, and the depth of your speech is just enough to show that you have no personality, so you simply don't speak, and you can only grow old alone.

Seeing a 30-year-old man or a 40-year-old woman still sad and sad, lamenting memories, and feeling youthful, it seems that everyone thinks that they are not productive—so we can't make films in the simple category of pure love, such as the crooked Cape No. 7, the center of the world in Japan that calls for love, and the Korean film If Love Has Providence.

This kind of film is actually very good, even though it is not advanced. But people need him. This is everyone's youth, gone forever.

Frankly speaking, I also have this stinky problem of not being accustomed to the naïve "superficiality" and the deep "pretending to be forced", and it is very serious. I used to think that cold-blooded animals were better than Mayday, that Gao Qi was more handsome than Takeshi Kaneshiro, that overload was far better than soda green, that Dou Wei was a hundred times more talented than Jay Chou, and that the crooked idol drama Xiangjiang TVB was some shrimp rotten stuff...... I don't understand why movies like Inception, Three Fools, and Dolphin Bay can get such high reviews, it's obviously very ordinary, and I don't know how an eleven-degree old boy can cheat so many tears and understand movies......

I always thought I was right, but more and more I realized that I was wrong.

I'm past the age of three, but I still like to watch these low-grade youth movies with unnutritious pure love, and I really like to watch them. I hope that there will be a few directors like Lin Mu in the mainland, who do not need technology and thought, as long as they are sincere and direct enough, then I will definitely go to the cinema to support them.

In the movie, the heroine said that I would be very happy if Lin Mu confessed to me.

So have you ever thought about this question:

If youth could come again, I would cherish it.

If the good girl she used to be didn't go, treat her well.

If my brother asks me to hand over a love letter again, I will punch him.

If it were still a night like that, I would say the words "I like you".

If she cries, kiss her, if she laughs, kiss her, if she doesn't do anything, kiss her.

If you say, you can tell me the answer now, I must say yes, I want to listen

……

If there's something that looks good on the outside, look at it.

Lin Mu could see that the person who wrote this review must be a person with deep affection.

His views are very open, he knows what this film is about, and then he has a certain understanding of why he made this film.

It shows that this person's psychology actually has a certain regret for his youth.

There are some things that I didn't do well, and now I will regret when I think about them when I grow up, and it is precisely because of this that I write this kind of comment.

Of course, there are two sides to everything, and if there is something that is good, it is natural to scold.

For example, there is a post that is estimated to be a minor, because after all, people who have had youth can't write this kind of comment.

"Before watching it, I heard from a friend who recommended this movie to me that it was good, saying that it was a rare good movie in recent years. After watching it, I searched for online movie reviews, and basically received rave reviews, what kind of youthful romantic love, bloody scars, dreams, or something.

Why don't I think so, how can it be so good? How do I think this movie is so contrived?

I think this film, except for the little thing about puberty hormones, the director made it a bit interesting, and nothing else happened.

Blood, scars, or something, is it because of the blood hanging from the corner of the male protagonist Lin Mu's mouth in that inexplicable fight game? Is this a blood scar? It's far-fetched, because the appearance of this plot is very inexplicable, why have I seen PS for a while somehow. As for dreams? Is it because of the actor's sentence "I want to make this world, because of me, there will be a little bit different"? It's a little thinner, isn't it...... I really haven't found anything more about dreams anywhere else, but I can't be too pushy in these places, because it's a romance movie after all.

But what makes me feel most unreliable is the love in this film. In fact, the ignorant love in high school in the film is quite like that, and since graduating from high school, it has become more and more confused:

Thank you for the two 588 tips that the drunkard loves to drink, thank you very much.
