released on the 19th of My Girls' Generation. Of course, the long-awaited youth film is the first time to watch it. For more than two hours, the whole process was full of laughter and narcissism, and there was no sense of procrastination. I guess the director and screenwriter must be fans of Meteor Garden. Sure enough, Jerry Yan appeared at the end of the film, and the entire cinema was almost drowned out by the screams of women.
This film is often compared with those years, and it is called the female version of those years, but in fact, although both are youth films, there are still big differences in the content. The youth under the lens of the male director is full of hormones, sex, superficial understanding of the inner world of girls, and born with a heroic impulse to win, thinking that this is love. Popular youth films are like this, elegant literary films are like sunny days, and so are the beautiful legends of Sicily, but the stories are different and the expressions are different. In the eyes of middle-aged Gao Xiaosong, a poet, literary and artistic male, the only youth left is going to bed and abortion. This kind of wretched and contemptuous male perspective really makes people have to scold.
And the youth under the female director's lens is more pure, shining and delicate. You don't need a kiss, but I already love you very deeply. This is the first love in the heart of a female director, and it is also the first love sense of most ordinary women. This is the case with this movie. It is the same with a kiss and youth.
We can shoot social themes and comedy themes well, and they are getting better, but youth films are hard to come by, and they are far worse than the youth films of neighboring South Korea, Thailand, and Japan, and even our orthodox urban emotional films are rarely good. , 33 Days of Broken Love This kind of alternative emotional sketch wins by being poor and weird, in addition to tearing it up and quarreling with the poor, can you see how many feelings there are in it? When Beijing meets Seattle, the three views are not well done, and no matter how good the shot is, it still looks awkward. Others, any good ones?
In fact, I think the reasons why most male directors who want to make youth films fail to make youth films well are the above-mentioned problems of natural perspective, as well as the problem of insufficient analysis of the audience. Most of the audience of youth films are women, and they are women between 23 and 30 years old. They have the tail of youth, but they are about to lose their grip or have just lost their youth. To put it in reverse, their high school period was around 2000. At that time The Internet is not widely used, mobile phones are rare, people who are immersed in studying, have a bold relationship, but also sneak up, don't even dare to hold hands, and the worst thing is to go to the playground at night to hit the road. Those of them who claim to be making youth films often go to bed and have abortions, and they will not please female audiences at all. They want to make our money, and they blatantly distort our youth. It is strange that female audiences will buy it.
