You really just want to be a tough guy

Someone once asked me what this movie is about, and I said, it's about men's romance.

Someone once said to me, I saw this film, I really don't understand why you are so excited, I said, this film is not made for you, it is a date for us. He asked me again, who was that date with.

I said, with myself.




When you were a teenager, your dream was to become a tough guy in the future, or to be a man.

Like Pony, like Robert De Niro, like Matthew, like Clint Eastwood, like all the silent cool old men.

Then one day, when you are no longer a teenager, when all the love you once believed in over life and death slowly becomes as fragile as life itself, when you no longer hide on the street corner and secretly watch that girl, when all your boiling blood has cooled.

You just found out that you are not a tough guy, you betrayed your teenager, and it was not the fucking reality that shattered your dreams, but yourself.

Because this is not the era of tough guys, or, are those legends about tough men as real as you and I remember?



Then that day, I no longer believed in tough guys, no longer believed in pony, no longer believed in windbreaker, believed in legends, and watched an old man's movie in a daze, but the last photo fell to the ground, all the past in me The brain bursts like fireworks.

Fuck all the so-called clichés, so-called unreasonable, so-called hypocritical, so-called contrived, when Wu Zhenyu smiled and closed the door, when Huang Qiusheng smiled and said that's it, when that beer can was flying in the air, when the gunshots sounded and silenced, When a man stands up and falls down.

So, you're back to being a teenager.

For a moment at least, your lost dream comes back.

You remember that year, you clenched your fists and watched Pony turn the bow of the boat suddenly and come back from the hail of bullets.

Then for a split second, you suddenly wanted to shout out like him, I swear, never let anyone point a gun at my head again!


You suddenly want to fuck everything, you want to put on your windbreaker and use up your pleasure and revenge.



Then, you come back to reality.

You wanted to be a tough guy.

As a result, you have now.

You are suddenly so sentimental.

Sadness for the unchangeable past.



Many thanks to To Qifeng, he used a movie to bring me back to being a teenager.

That year, I really wanted to be a tough guy.
