Whose youth is not confused

After watching this movie, I didn't intend to write anything, but the last dialogue suddenly touched my tears and brought back some memories about youth.
At the beginning of the movie, the scene of Xiaoma and Xinzhi riding bicycles around the campus is so familiar. The structure of the campus is very similar to that of my junior high school. Once, like them, I thought I was conspicuous and publicized, and spent my confused and wanton youth there.
Now everyone is starting to pay attention to left-behind children. I used to be considered a left-behind child. My parents traveled far away to make a living, leaving me to live alone with my grandparents. In my poor hometown, it was dark at night, and sometimes I had no place to live. Going to a neighbor's house to live in, I can only see my parents during the summer vacation every year, and they are working hard at that time. It should be said that my youth was not beautiful, even a little gloomy. But looking back on the past, in addition to feeling distressed about myself, I also began to feel that there is no darkness in youth, everything is just the pain of the transformation process. Just like this movie, it is a bit heavy, but with the music of Hisaishi, it always makes people feel that everything is There is still hope.
Pony and Xinzhi would throw darts in class, beat people, extort money, burn down the car of their teacher who looked down on them, and make everyone think they were bad guys, but they also have a dream to be a comedian, even if everyone around them Everyone tells them to give up, you can't succeed, they will still pull the two weak people who were bullied by them as audiences, hoping to get even a little recognition. If it weren't for the pony being beaten by a few boxers later, maybe everything would have continued until graduation.
I remember when I was in junior high school, there were some students on campus who liked to form gangs. Maybe they were eager to prove that they were adults. They smoked and drank, fought and rode motorcycles. In our eyes, they may be cool, but in our eyes It should be the same headache in the eyes of adults. I should be considered a good student at the time, but of course I only got good grades. I joked with these so-called bad students in private, and even a classmate who was in the temporary class when I took the stage to accept the award said, "Isn't this a gangster?" But it was also these little punks who gave me the warmth I needed back then. They don't allow others to bully me, don't allow me to hang out with them, and teach me to study hard. After more than ten years, I can't even remember what they looked like, but that feeling will last my whole life. There is also warmth in the sky of bad children, after all, they are just children.
Xiaoma and Xinzhi later went on different paths, one joined the underworld and the other started boxing. Someone asked Xinzhi, is it lonely to practice boxing alone, and he answered lonely. Xinzhi should be regarded as a person with a relatively simple heart, and he is not even very strong in the concept of right and wrong. Perhaps it is this simplicity and concentration that allows him to practice boxing better. It is also his simplicity that makes him tempted and misled. In the end, I couldn't go any further on this road. Colt has always appeared as a strong character, he protects the relatively "weaker" Xinzhi, but because he lost to Xinzhi in boxing, he gave up boxing and joined the underworld. It was also his impulse that made him eventually. Injured by gangsters.
Another impressive character in the movie, I don't even remember his name, the cowardly student. At first, he was chasing after the coffee shop owner's daughter, secretly left a little doll, and sent a love letter timidly. After entering the social work, when others said that he was insulted and wanted to resign, he also resigned along with him. But it is such a weak person, but he is the most infatuated existence in the play. For the sake of his wife's ease, he drove tiredly and ended up in a car accident. A person may seem insignificant to the outside world, but to the person he loves, he has the courage to give.
Thinking about it carefully, this is actually our youth. The mind is immature, simple and simple, and easy to be tempted by the outside world. It is easy to be impulsive, hoping to get attention, and it is uninhibited. It has the purest love and the most sincere heart.
Everyone's youth may have more or less uncertainty about the future and the confusion and confusion caused by it, but everyone will go through those years, some people may go into a fork in the road, but most people will eventually go On track.
Xiaoma went to the boxing gym to find Xinzhi for a drink. The president may be afraid that he will delay Xinzhi. After talking to him, he left. Before leaving, he told Xinzhi that when you become the boxing champion, the day I become the boss goodbye. That simple sentence brought tears to my eyes. Only the truest friendship can understand all good behaviors and make concessions. When they finally met, one didn't become the champion, and the other didn't become the boss. When they go back to the old campus, the teachers will still say, it's those idiots again. But Xinzhi asks, Pony, are we finished? The pony said, idiot, we haven't started yet.
After going through these setbacks, perhaps they will be stronger, reshape their worldview, and embark on a path to happiness. Just like us, we will eventually pass through the confusion and continue our growth path. In the end, I became a basically satisfied self, and although there were many problems, I continued to work on it.
