At the end of the movie, the two losers are walking on a bicycle, wandering in the empty campus. The loneliness and sadness are mixed with Hisaishi's "Meet again". Stream, calm but surging undercurrent.

People are always like this, every time they swear they think they understand the meaning of youth, but every time they fall down in life, just like everyone in the movie, no one can grasp the handle of youth, people can only be played by life and luck, The absurd cross talk succeeded; the hard-working and honest staff were demoted and demoted, and finally reduced to a taxi driver, and finally died; the protagonist of the gang was finally cut into a disability; the talent and hard work The protagonist Xinzhi made a bad friend by mistake, and finally lost the game and was eliminated by life. This is the normal state of youth, ignorance, fearlessness, confusion and high spirits.

Through the constant interweaving of youth stories in the movie, look back and think about the future. In fact, people have always been in the confusion of this youthful period. This kind of confusion includes sighs of the past and memories that go against the memory, but also There is speculation about the uncertainty of the future. Therefore, youth is not just a title for a period of time, it is a form of the relationship between people and society, the kind of people who are both helpless and unwilling to submit, obviously sad but also heroic, every step they take has thousands of endings. Life is called youth.

Shinji: Do you think we're finished?

Pony: Nonsense! We haven't started yet.

When we were young, we kowtowed to death in life with the mentality of youth, but as long as life hits us, we have to pay him back. The last two young people with beards and sobs returned to the campus. Although their eyes were full of resentment, their eyes were clear. They wanted to return to life and punch them. Their lives have just begun, just like the English translation of the movie - "Kids Return"

    The first half is surprisingly wonderful. Although the child is bad but the image is fresh, it seems a pity that the story is no longer so powerful after the two people’s lives have gone to a fork in their lives. What is really exciting in the movie is the lens: the rebellious youth story and the calm lens language seem to be different A reasonable combination, but Takeshi Kitano did it just right, a lot of repetition and symbol processing, and multiple pre-flash editing created an exquisite sense of humor. The classic soundtrack is also not to be mentioned.

    Youth is a complete failure. The bad boy sky without Kitano Takeshi, the road decided by accident, the peak reached by accident, and the promise made by conceit, all will inevitably end in failure. The two protagonists and the second protagonist share the fate of failure, and the indifferent heart of Qianfan who can still return to the original on the playground many years later, I highly recommend it. The soundtrack is good, and the boxing background is also good, so the evaluation has risen again.
