If you want to nominate a thriving Asian post-85 film emperor, it must be Liu Yaren.
The yuppy of the literati inker and the sexiness of the trendy youth can always complement each other in his body,
The point is, he's bullish.
In 2015, he won the Korean Green Dragon Film Emperor with "Si Mourning"; in 2016, he won the Korean Baeksang Emperor with "Six Dragons Flying Sky";
In 2020, with the movie "Silent", he won the second Qinglong Film Emperor; in 2021, he won the Baixiang Film Emperor with the movie "Silent".
Liu Yaren, who is only 35 years old, is only one big clock away from a Grand Slam, which is really too good to win awards.
People are talented and hardworking, one movie after another, and one award after another.
How cool it should be to be a fan of Liu Yaren's career.
So what Xiaomei wants to recommend to you today is a work in the early days of his debut, and it is precisely because of this movie that liu Yaren has the opportunity to emerge and start his acting career -
"The Young Man"
a swarm
The film is based on the best-selling novel of the same name published in 2008 and released in 2011.
How good was this movie at the time?
Just such a small-budget movie, after its release, broke through the new works of high-profile actors and Hollywood blockbusters,
It won the first place at the box office of the day for five consecutive weeks.
The noisy, crowded, and mixed ballroom is where a boy named Shude grew up.
A disabled father, an intellectually insufficient uncle, a Filipino mother who has left nowhere since childhood, and a life of poverty is all that you have to gain.
Because of this family environment, Shede has developed a taciturn personality from an early age.
Shude's father is an actor in a dance hall, and the income from the sale of the cup of water is the financial source that supports the family's survival.
To others, the stage actor who performs the burlesque dance is a character who uses self-esteem for fun.
But for Shude, what he saw was his father's every effort, and the dance hall was as important as home.
At the age of seventeen, the young Man had to encounter a change.
The owner of the dance hall suddenly ran away and evaporated, and the dance hall was empty overnight.
The father had to take his uncle Minjiu to move the small business stall to the market.
But because they don't have a business license, they can't support the stalls and are harassed by the ground snake.
Some even threatened to ruin their stage props.
In the eyes of others, it is as inconspicuous as broken copper and rotten iron, but it is the treasure that Shu de's father relies on to survive.
How can you say no.
So even if they were beaten, even if they were sneered at by onlookers, their father and Minjiu did their best to maintain their tools.
When the skipping class arrived to see his father being bullied, he raised his fist and wrestled with the hooligans without saying a word.
Yes, you think that the teenagers who grew up in such a miserable family may be reclusive and inspirational.
But in fact, he is a problem student who shakes his fist at every turn and sleeps in the last row of gags in the classroom.
After this incident, She was harshly taught by her father for skipping class and the rude way of countering violence with violence.
After returning to school, he also received a corporal punishment education, and the perpetrator was his most hated class teacher, Li Dongzhuo.
Li Dongzhu has the good character of all class teachers, nagging, nosy, and likes to meddle in the lives of students.
He opposes Shude at every turn, and Shude regards him as the number one enemy,
Even praying in church is about the hope that the troublesome teacher will be killed.
Unfortunately, Li Dongzhuo was a missionary of this church.
Unable to find a way out in the Seoul market, his father and Min-joo decide to try their luck at a rural market.
Before leaving, the father was worried that his son would not learn any skills, so he entrusted him to the care of a neighbor, and the neighbor was Tojo-sensei.
With such a person around to "take care of", Every word and deed at school and every move at home are naturally clearly watched.
In this regard, at first, Shu de's heart was very broken, and at one point he felt that the "dung strain" was born to torture him.
One day, Dong Zhu suddenly told Shu De that he had learned through the relationship of the church that in fact, in addition to his father and uncle, the filipino mother was still alive.
And now I work as a waiter in a Korean restaurant, and I would love to see Shude.
Unprepared, when he heard the news, he was completely overwhelmed.
On the one hand, Hende was inferior because of his family situation, and his mother's status as a Filipino laborer made him even more depressed;
On the other hand, the fact that his mother was by his side also made his mood mixed.
What is even more helpless is that the mother's affairs here have not yet been sorted out, and the car rented by the father has been scratched by the uncle of the neighbor's family.
The other party not only did not have any apology for his own scratching of the car, but even insulted Jingde's father.
This made the heartbroken father's heart be ignited again.
This time, when the police at the police station reprimanded Shu for being unruly,
The class teacher, Dong Zhu, actually jumped out and the police theorized, and tried his best to maintain the dignity of Shude.
Because of this incident, Hender had a change in his view of the East Plant, and slowly began to discover the unknown warm-hearted side of the East Plant.
In fact, Teacher Dongzhu was originally a rich second generation, but because he was not accustomed to his father's bullying of the world, he chose to leave home and live in a slum.
In order to protect his own justice and labor rights, he even reported his father's company.
This seemingly untrimmed and mean teacher actually has no high shelf;
Sometimes full of foul language, he also gladly accepted the nickname strain given to him by his classmates;
It will not use the school's dogma as a constraint to force every student to study hard, and even encourage students to have fun during the holidays.
And Shude also has some subtle changes in the teacher's nagging, and when Dongzhuo is detained by the police, he will nervously go to visit;
He was reluctant to receive relief supplies because of his face, but would replace his teachers to help the church deliver supplies; he even began to want to go out to work to subsidize his family.
Perhaps it was the countless prayers to God that worked, and his life was infused with the first rays of sunshine—free fighting.
The sport that he learned from the Indians in the church immediately piqued his interest.
In the beginning, when practicing in the sports hall, he couldn't even tell the difference between fighting and fighting.
The coach also disliked him as a rogue and was very perfunctory to him.
Unwilling to give up, he immediately showed his father his determination to learn the sport.
Father is very opposed, because in his father's heart, he does not know the difference between fighting and fighting,
And he thinks that just like he regards dance as an art and society treats him as a joke, his son is likely to be looked down upon.
And the East Plant, who learned of this, in turn, opened the way to his father,
He firmly believed that it was a good thing for Him to learn free fighting.
Not only did he encourage him to get ahead by his own efforts, but he even actually helped him avoid the evening self-study at school to support him to devote himself to practice.
In this way, the fight journey of Shude officially began.
As long as you have love, it is the year of fighting.
Although the coach still ignored him, he was only allowed to start practicing from the basic physical fitness.
But She was still full of spirit and hope.
In the film, the way he practices his fist while practicing running on the road exudes vitality, as if to fill all around him with a shining light.
With the help of Dong Zhu, Shu De's mother also successfully met her son,
After a conversation, the two untied their hearts, and their mother began to deliver food to the gym every three or five minutes, and the feeling of the warmth of mother's love became more powerful.
At the end of the movie, with the help of Shu de and Dong Zhu, the mother and father break the mirror and reunite, although the days are still poor.
But the shattered family eventually came back to life.
Although the whole film tells the story of a marginal teenager, it involves social disability, human trafficking and other issues.
The baggage and warmth that naturally fall everywhere in the daily life of the clouds and flowing water.
There is no counterattack, no dog blood, and some are just a very real demonstration of the problems of a low-level family.
Although life is difficult, we do not only have the option of self-abandonment, but also a particularly great feat to bravely try to accept ourselves and our families who are not very good.
And no matter how bad the day is, there will definitely be a day of turnaround.
