"Sunny Days" is not an assumption for the youth of the special era to position this film as a youth film or a love film. Jiang Wen and Wang Shuo are not talking about the Cultural Revolution in this film, but about their own youth and love during the Cultural Revolution. , the title of "Sunny Day" itself speaks for itself - no one would think that that particular era was really a sunny time, but the statue of the great leader that we need to look up at at the beginning of the movie also seems to be using his giant Pointing at us: "...the world is yours and ours. But, in the final analysis, it is yours. You young people are like the sun at eight or nine in the morning...", because for this group of children, there is no parental discipline , there is no teacher's restraint, there are only beer, Lao Mo, cigarettes, martial arts and internal reference films. The Cultural Revolution is just a day for them to make trouble. This endless freedom is the most sunny life in the eyes of children. In response to this, at the end of the film, the color of the film changed from color to black and white. Maybe Jiang Wen thought that the days of the Cultural Revolution should be the most colorful time in Ma Xiaojun's life, and the most wanton life. In comparison, even if he drives a Cadillac now, he has lost the splendid color of that year. Since it is a youth movie, love is of course indispensable. The scene of picking the lock actually hinted at Ma Xiaojun's curiosity when love was just beginning to sprout, so the first lock he picked should of course be the drawer with condoms locked. , The exploration triggered by curiosity has been out of control since then, until I met Milan, to be precise, I met the photos of Milan. In that classic scene of playing with binoculars, Ma Xiaojun made the first splendid discovery of the opposite sex in his life, so the photos of Milan he saw at that time were actually in color, but people who have experienced that era should remember that there was no such thing as Color photos, until the early 1980s, were still a luxury that just appeared, so as the mystery of Milan gradually disappeared, her photos also lost their luster in Ma Xiaojun's eyes and became the original ones. black and white. When he was madly infatuated with Milan, Ma Xiaojun also heard about Milan's "deeds" from his companions, but his good impression of Milan made him ignore the rumors at all. However, the relationship between Milan and Liu Yiku was ambiguous, and there were people in the pool. Being jealous of Milan's competition broke all his good impressions of Milan again and again, and the kick that finally kicked Milan into the swimming pool clearly expressed Ma Xiaojun's disdain and disgust for her at the moment. Another plot corresponding to it is: when Milan first appeared, in Ma Xiaojun's eyes, she walked like this Light, mysterious and unattainable, but in the scene at the end of the movie where Milan climbs into the swimming pool to show off her figure, the audience will notice that from Ma Xiaojun's perspective, Milan's movement of climbing into the swimming pool is so clumsy, Ma Xiaojun looks at her from the camera angle, the audience will feel that she is so fat like him, this is the first time she saw Milan wearing sunglasses thousands of miles away from the memory gap is so big, in the past Ma Xiaojun Being able to get close to Milan is nothing more than letting him wash her hair or take her to the farm on a bicycle. After all the mystery of the opposite sex he once loved disappeared, Ma Xiaojun finally got rid of his long-suppressed feelings. He rushed into Milan's house and tore off the keychain bound to Milan's ankle that he wanted to tear for a long time. Later, the semi-naked scene of Milan that was deleted from the public release version of domestic theaters showed Ma Xiaojun's youthful impulse to vent. , and also witnessed his break with the young Ma Xiaojun, who was walking on the roof with a vague feeling of love. Just like the sunshine in the Cultural Revolution was so bright in that particular era that it was unreal, the only rain scene in the film is so unreal in the warm tones of the whole film. Maybe it is because of the unreal that Ma Xiaojun is unreal. In this scene, Ma Xiaojun unexpectedly changed his previous cautiousness and proclaimed the name of Milan. When Milan asked him "what's the matter with you?", he was in the film. The only time she didn't hesitate to say the words that had always been haunting him in her face - "I like you!", and Milan also hugged him tightly as he wished, this is the whole The only comforting hug in the film, however, is so unreal, because this rain is a rain that seems so unreal on the brightest day of the sun... Milan is still fighting Liu Yi hard after the rain has passed The reality of the sultry proves that his fantasy is really just wishful thinking, and the scene of fighting against Liu Yiku at the birthday banquet is just an unsuccessful ambition in Ma Xiaojun's mind! In fact, there has never been such a warm rain, never such a bright sunshine, and never such a vigorous youth! Gu Changwei's photography skills are brought into full play at the end of the film - Ma Xiaojun is kicked out of the swimming pool. His helplessness in the water also symbolizes his isolation. This very stream of consciousness scene shows very well. The feeling of suffocation, but the slight sinking and alienation shown in the camera seems to express his sense of playfulness, perhaps echoing the happy ending of the film, when Ma Xiaojun drove a famous car and counted the downfall of his childhood partner. That sense of accomplishment!
