In the soft music, reflecting the southern water town, gray tiles and white walls. On the yellowed rice field road, four teenagers riding bicycles, the age of innocence is at this time.
The movie "The Age of Innocence" tells the story of the childhood of the post-80s in the early 1990s. It is precisely when the reform and opening up has set off a new wave, and all kinds of new things have emerged. In a small town in Meizhou, hair salons, dance halls, and billiard rooms have also quietly developed. In the progress of the times, the impact on primary school students is small, and they still live a naïve childhood.
The advantage of the film is that it uses a piece of the once familiar past to vividly show the style of the town and the childhood experience of the post-80s generation. Record the change of seasons, children help their families plant seedlings in spring, harvest grain in autumn, and welcome the New Year in firecracker couplets. From time to time, the ideals and troubles of children are discussed, and the innocent era without mobile phones and computers unfolds like a picture.
The film also has obvious shortcomings. The story line is not obvious, compared to "There is a Good Place in the Book" that we shared before, it has a strong goal, which is enough to arouse the audience's curiosity. And this work is more like a trickle of the plains, interspersing the story of the past, which cannot be stirred up, and requires the audience to have enough patience to explore the similarity with the past.
