- "Mints" has to
be corrected. The word "bad" I just used is definitely not relative to the movie, but the director relative to the The merciless whipping of the general audience. For example, an ordinary audience like me was slapped hard by the director's mint, and slapped the hypocritical "We will never go back".
The whole film was reversed by the director, and the ending of the protagonist Yonghao was revealed at the beginning, that is, he was madly shouting "I want to go back" and lying on the rails to death. And there's a voiceover, pointing at the clock and pointing at the audience's nose and saying, listen up, I'm going to tell a story where you have to keep your eyes open.
Why did Yonghao lie on the rails, because he had planned a suicide plan for a long time, but he never had the courage to press the gun; why did Haomin commit suicide, because he had nothing, and what was worse, he found that his first love had also become a vegetable; he Why nothing, because he's crazy; why he's crazy because her wife, kids, and career dumped him; why he's dumped because he fucked up an office affair and found out his wife was having an affair ; why he was betrayed because he was so indifferent to his wife; why he was so indifferent because he used to be a violent police officer; why he became a police officer because he organized activities when he was in the army and injured his right leg ; why he was so wounded, because the cannibal army deprived him of his freedom to love. And the cause and effect of all this, one step does not allow him to turn back. Even if he goes back to the past, Jin Yonghao is the young man who leaned back against the rocky beach and smiled up to the sky, but for some reason there were tears in his eyes. Nothing will change. Everything in the past rushed towards this moment at an extreme speed, until the train roared and crushed a broken body and soul, and everything could stop. This was the only thing Haomin did in his life that belonged to him.
So I say that the director is extremely bad for ordinary audiences. He uses a person who seems to have nothing to do with our lives to ruthlessly torture our memories, so that every memory believer who witnesses this story will give up their faith and die willingly. Like Yonghao, he found that he could not recognize himself at all after stripping away all the structured life.
Yong Hao has a memory of first love that all of us have. Whose first love is not simple, beautiful and clean, just like Hao Minhe during the outing in 1979, it is a mint. But why do most of us still hand in our mints obediently and end the love called first love? We have become invisible slaves of someone's life, with wounds on our bodies, holes in our hearts, and other people's blood on our hands. We can't help but slap ourselves and ask ourselves how we are worthy of this feeling called first love.
Mints have long become something to remove the odor in the mouth. Yonghao's mint was smashed as early as the day of the emergency operation of the army, and has never been seen since. This is a candy only for children. And the time to throw it reluctantly takes up most of our lives. Want to go back? It's just a crazy shout.
