When there is only a tail left in the summer, the air is a little cold, but it is suddenly warmed to tears by the film Unexpected Summer starring This Yi Han director, Chen Chuang, Guo Kexuan, and Lang Yueting, just like Xiao Wu and Winter's Holiday, two people who are disliked and isolated meet unexpectedly in the town, one is a transfer student who is bullied and homely, no one cares about the left-behind teenager aquatics who no one hurts, one is an unemployed who is looked down upon everywhere, Huang Simao who earns three meals by waste, and the two are on each other's body. Got a long-lost friendship, "I'm the only friend of yours here!" This sentence, only people who are really lonely can appreciate the taste.
Through such a special friendship story, the film focuses on left-behind children and idle youth, two extremely large and easily overlooked groups, with a realistic and poetic video language, the wisdom of survival in pain, to inform all the aquatic and four hairs in reality: You are not alone, in the absence of family affection, there is no hardship and bad luck, it is a friendship that cannot be cured.
With the rapid development of urbanization, a large number of people flow to developed areas, leaving thousands of left-behind children, most of which are handed over to the elderly who cannot take care of themselves, a small number of them are guardianized by relatives and friends, and hundreds of thousands of children are even more pitiful, they can only do their own food and clothing, for these children, in the past film and television works involving left-behind children, most of them only stay at the level of their lives, food, clothing, housing and education, but ignore their spiritual situation, long-term separation from their families caused by emotional lack.
As a drama film, although "Unexpected Summer" inevitably has commercial attributes and dramatic colors, with the actors' original ecological performances and solid and full environmental descriptions, it shows a real and credible picture of left-behind life. Aquatic students in school isolated and bullied can only knock out their teeth and swallow, endure not to cry is silent resistance, he is unfortunate, but also lucky, everyone can easily imagine, if there is no Huang Simao's road to see a roar, his world will be how gray and helpless.
Aquatic, this name that clearly carries traditional thinking and local temperament, he is like all the children who are left in their hometown to study because their parents pursue a better life, they are fostered in relatives' homes, only formal guardianship, no emotional care, the only sister who depends on each other can only gather less and more because of school, he goes to school alone in a strange environment, without the protection of parents, and there is no decent friend "covered", which naturally becomes the target of teenagers to show authority.
The little actor Guo Kexuan is very remarkable, played the image of aquatic life, every move is very real, joy and sorrow are from the heart, no carving and deliberate, the affection when he is with his sister, unwilling and sensible, in the face of bullying helplessness and stubbornness, powerfully set off a young but clear spiritual world, and after knowing Si Mao, he actually got not only to help fight friends, but also at the same time the world fell into the world of people to foam, two lonely hearts to warm each other, play together, fight together, fight together, From the joy of friendship, the lightness of ignorance, to the heaviness of breaking up later, it is all very powerful. How happy the previous story is, it will make the audience feel more sad, most teenagers of the same age live under the spoils of their parents, carefree growth, there are small friends who learn to play together, but aquatic can only pin their friendship on a bastard who is looked down upon by everyone.
"Unexpected Summer" not only goes deep and simple, with a vivid story to explore the growth dilemma of left-behind children, but also around Huang Simao's tragicomedy, the adult world has been deeply and spicyly revealed, Huang Simao's life is very gray, part-time work is a failure, after returning to the town is despised and ridiculed and misunderstood, there is no future and no love, more importantly, there is no dignity, can only live humble and cowardly.
It is not so much that Huang Simao is protecting aquatic life, in fact, it is better that aquatic ignites his enthusiasm for life, perhaps, he also had an equally unbearable time, perhaps, he does not want aquatic to grow up like himself, grow up to become a failed. In the eyes of many people, this period of yearless friendship in the film may be a combination of rebellion and badness, but in their own world, it is irreplaceable. Many times, friendship may really be as vital to a person as the life jacket of the drowning person, the beacon in the dark, and can even determine the direction of a lifetime.
