      Violent and Poor Youth Movies

      A society of young people at two different levels. One group is young people who have money, a car and a future, the other group is ostracized, young people without a future, and young people who have no future but friends. This person often has disputes and fights because of things, and they are not at the same time.

      This also reflects the state of society at that time. . Those poor children fell out with their brothers only because of class, money, and the existence of society at the...

      More memories of the original

      When I saw the original work in middle school, the translation was called "The Urchin in the World". When I saw Dali's death, when I saw the protagonist and the brothers reunited, tears kept streaming, crying again and again. The book was borrowed from a friend and I couldn’t buy it, so I had to copy the entire novel. So, although the time has passed so long, I got the movie and heard the narration at the beginning that was exactly the same as the beginning of the novel. My body and mind are...

      I think of my old friends and a group of Chinese school tyrants like him

      If you know such old friends who have fallen and fallen, please take a look at what I have written, and even watch these four excellent films. I believe you will also have some precious thoughts.

      I don’t know what mysterious power drove me to write this. This week I have been watching Coppola’s "Betta Fish" and "Little Godfather" continuously by coincidence, and then added Jia Zhangke's "Xiao Wu" and "Little Godfather". Wanma Caidan’s "Taluo", in the...

      Nature's first green is gold, Her hardest hue to hold. Her early leaf's a flower; But only so an hour. Then leaf subsides to leaf. So Eden sank to grief, So dawn goes down to day. Nothing gold can stay. - Robert Frost, no matter how cruel, is his youth. The gang fight scene is probably one of the few teenagers I've seen really serious but stupid gang...
