The film "Bad Boy Sky" from Takeshi Kitano, the English name "Kids Return", Chinese also translated as "The Return of Youth", tells a cruel youth story. How beautiful the dream is, how cruel the reality is. Takeshi Kitano is a person who climbed from the bottom step by step to the director's position, and his personal experience is very rich. About the profession he describes, he basically appears in the movie, such as real estate agents, taxi drivers, underworld, boxers, comic actors and so on. Of course, his favorite and long-term profession is manga actor, so in the whole movie, the two manga performers are growing up successfully, I don't know if kitano Takeshi's preference for his profession has led to such a result.
The structure of the film is a circular structure, the beginning of the picture is a pair of comic (equivalent to cross-talk) performers, the stage is almost empty, at the end of the film, it is still these two performers, but there are many more people offstage, and their performances ushered in warm applause.
The near beginning of the film is a pony riding aimlessly in the school playground with Xinzhi, and the near end of the film is still a pony and a new zhi riding a bicycle in the playground. It can be said that the film tells the growth of several children, and all of them are explained. The well-behaved man who wrote love letters to the receptionist in the café, although he was successfully chased in the end, suffered a great blow at the end of the film, especially in order to let his wife live a happy life, fatigue driving and then a serious car accident. Kitano Takeshi later arranged for another boy to appear in the café, and then also arranged another café to entertain, and the boy was still obsessed with dating, as if it was another reincarnation.
Not only is the big structure of the film a ring, but there are also various small rings in many parts of the film. For example, Shinshi was discovered by the owner of the boxing gym and was an excellent boxing champion Miaozi. At this time, adult actors appear, in the film, Arin and the gangster boss represent the dark side of the adult world, they are the rapid whirlpool in the seemingly slow river, once they are wrapped up, there is no chance to escape, Xinzhi and the pony seem to be smooth, but it is still inevitable to be stabbed by society.
The sentence, "When I become the boss of the underworld, you become the king of boxing, we will see each other again", in the face of the cruelty of reality, it is somewhat fragile. Arin was also a boxing king when he was young, but unfortunately the years made him depressed, and Xinzhi was under Arin's ears and eyes, and his goal of the boxing king was getting farther and farther away. And Pony's strong personality, Fighting Righteousness wants a person to avenge the dead boss, and under the impulse, because his words offended the president, he was abandoned by the underworld.
Tearing off the coat of self-confidence, they learn to be afraid, which is probably the difference between youth and adulthood. Youth is indulgent, countless opportunities, a lot of time to waste, coupled with the courage of young people, they think they have the whole world, they also look forward to the many possibilities of life, this expectation makes them start the road to growth, and inevitably makes them see the meaning of growing up.
The pony enters the underworld and goes astray at a young age. Shinji could have been a good boxer, but he was tempted to take it badly.
The good boy "insisted" on chasing the girl and hugging the beauty, but because of the safety of his own and swallowing his anger, he died of overloaded work.
The two people who had been "insisting" on crosstalk in high school finally succeeded, and the goalless little follower could only watch them perform enviously.
When you are young, you always feel that you have a lot of time to squander, ride a bicycle in the playground, play darts in class, destroy the teacher's new car with paint, tease the classmates in front of the window with funny paper models, wear a fake tie to watch movies that only adults can watch, and so on.
In addition to telling the story of growth, the film also tells about fate, girls, people who help the underworld buy cigarettes, etc. are all different lives, and they are all memories of Takeshi Kitano. The girl later married a well-behaved man, had a beautiful love, but got a life that was stretched, and the boy who helped the underworld boss buy cigarettes was often taken care of by the underworld boss, but later he was imprisoned because of his replacement. What you choose to gain, you will lose something, this is the fate of man.
There are many things expressed in the movie, and after watching the movie, people who belong to different characters have their own memories.
People who have been frustrated may love this movie more, we are young and crazy, self-righteous, do not listen to the elders, until the head of the break is broken, wasted youth, and finally repent. And as we move towards the trough of life, we will finally ask ourselves, are we finished? It's not just bad kids. Takeshi Kitano finally said his answer. Start over. Desperate people don't give up hope.
Looking back on the past, is there also such a variety of people around you, Kitano Takeshi is telling ordinary stories, a variety of lives. What would we do if we were to go back to childhood? Kitano Takeshi may see it like this: Life, the road to Simplicity, just like the two people who insist on saying that Mancai, finding their favorite + persistence will bring success and happiness.
Of course, Kitano Takeshi also did this, one good movie after another, known as the helmsman and backbone of Japanese movies, he has always hoped to bring young people a concept, that is, life is very short, in a short life, try to come to a hot life.
