"Which day we will fly": youth a few more colors Beautiful is always in the future

When the last line of subtitles of "When We Will Fly" rolled out, all that was left in my mind was the flying paper airplane and the big bird-like plane in the air. Even if you're sitting in a taxi, you feel like you're sitting in the cabin of an airplane. It's a film that can drag the audience into the past at once. In the "past", those joyful carefree laughter, those righteous dreams, those green ignorant feelings, all flew into your dreams like this paper airplane, sweet in your heart. Youth does not fail, just has infinite present, as well as memories in the future.

"Which day we will fly": youth a few more colors Beautiful is always in the future

If "To Youth", "Those Years" and Huang Xiuping's last movie "Crazy Dance Party" are symbols of the excitement and exertion of hormones in youth, then Huang Xiuping's "Which Day We Will Fly" is a beautiful mirror image of the waves and stability of the world. Some people sang about the free and open 80s, praising the unrestrained and cheerful at that time, but the 90s was not a golden age? After watching the movie, I will "wake up" from the stereotype of shaping youth films, and it turns out that youth is not monochromatic, not just arrogant, it is precisely colorful and rich.

Compared with the freedom of the 80s, the 90s also symbolized exuberance and upliftment. At that time, Hong Kong was an era of a hundred flowers, with dramas such as "Big Time", the boiling Four Heavenly Kings in the music world, Daming, Beyond, and Dream Theatre, and everything was so new and exciting for young people. Under the lens of director Huang Xiuping, youth is not only passion and bravery, but also has many nostalgic elements of youth. Those things that may have been hot in the past have become warm memories many years later. In class, students whisper behind their teachers' backs and pass notes; listen to tapes after class and immerse themselves in the beautiful times in their hearts; three or five friends, go to a place with few people and wide, even if they don't speak but just be silent, they will feel very beautiful. These are not in the play, but also in the play, but also in the audience's mind, the audience at this time will surely quickly mobilize similar scenes of the "past" and remember the beautiful era that passed in a flash. Youth also has a quiet and fanciful side.

The white school uniforms, the mysterious garden, the exquisite craftsmanship, and the beautiful encounters all pave the way for the confusion of the future to find answers. When people reach middle age, although they can not be confused, director Huang Xiuping bluntly said that he still has many puzzles to be solved, including the heroes and heroines in the play. For a time, inside and outside the play, the protagonist and the director reached a spiritual dialogue, where is the far away, and how to go to the far side? When the passion is gone, the beauty is bleak, and the memories of the past seem to come naturally. When the sun rises higher at eight or nine o'clock, people will always recall the undried dew in the morning, and who can solve the current anxiety?

When people are confused, they will reminisce, and then it seems to be thanks to the stable years and the unrestrained reverie, because there is a key to answer all doubts. When the floodgates of memory are opened, when the eyes, ears, noses, and eyes touch the scene, the heart will be angry. At this time, the feelings belonging to youth are instantly stimulated. At that time, small things also produce a kind of power. Maybe you suddenly think that you have seriously planted a pot of flowers, and this pot of flowers will eventually bloom; maybe you and your friends have seriously imagined the future and dispelled your inner confusion; maybe you have remembered the days of eating on time, trying to live, and working hard for a person; maybe you remember a sentence that a friend you have not met for a long time said to you, which makes you suddenly cheerful. These little things become the seeds that nurture the future.

Man is truly a precious creature because he has memories and the ability to restart feelings about good things. "When We Will Fly" seems to be quietly telling you that all your current confusion may find the answer in your youth. At that time, the small entanglements of the heart, the small excitement of the heart, and the small achievements that motivate themselves can all become the organs for solving the mysteries of the moment. Just like the plane that flew overhead, it was soaring, and it was the best way to soar in the future.

Youth is not only a time of arbitrariness and testing bravery, but also a small era of careful feeling and serious thinking. The youth under Huang Xiuping's lens actually has a comforting and charming fragrance, these fragrances are hidden in people's memories, when people are thinking hard to find answers, as soon as the floodgates of memory are opened, these fragrances will reappear and restart your taste buds for the beautiful yearning. Youth is indeed used for memories and is healing, but these healing forces are not only in youth, they will also slowly run to the future.

When "flying" becomes the image of the film, when looking up at the sky becomes a common action of the protagonist, it means that even if the ideal sinks, there will be the power to move forward again. Those past, the good memories of youth, have actually become a potential force for the future. Huang Xiuping said: "We do not naively think that we can take off with dreams, even if the reality is very cruel, but people always have ideals, the beautiful past can not be recovered, we still have to remember the starting point of the dream, think about how to go on." "Oh, he suddenly grasped the light that belonged to youth.
