Revelations: 10 movies about juvenile delinquency

author:Friday Arts

Friday's note: The "teenagers" we are talking about here include not only minors, but also a considerable number of young people who have just reached adulthood or even over thirty years old (I think the mind of minors is delayed). When we talk about the criminal acts of this part of the population, we cannot simply look for the environment or the commonality of people, after all, in our society where the gap between rich and poor is huge, and the geographical identity of the class is obvious, some people are still living in the ivory tower and family protection in their twenties, and some people are already at the bottom of society in their teens and even married and have children. The only thing we can be sure of is that in order to survive, everyone must have a set of values and circles that suit them. And when this value system and the mainstream concept of society clash, and circles and circles form opposites, excessive criminal acts may occur.

Nonsense aside, the following recommended 10 movies have different ways of committing crimes and the identity background of the perpetrators, and we naturally cannot find a unified explanation from them. But at the very least, every movie is an opportunity for us to get to know a criminal individual, and to seize that opportunity to avoid the tragedies that may happen in life is better than when something happens and we condemn it!

"Friday Literature and Art" on the film ——

1. The Four Hundred Blows (1959)

原名: The Four Hundred Moves

Director: François Truffaut

Country: France

Revelations: 10 movies about juvenile delinquency

In the "Testimonials" film, the teenage boy skips class, cheats on teachers, steals money and even hangs out with women until he is taken into a juvenile detention center by the police... Why? That's what we have to think about when we watch this movie.

2. "Juvenile Murder Incident on Muling Street" (1991)

Former name: Juvenile Murder on Muling Street

Director: Yang Dechang

Country: Taiwan, China

Revelations: 10 movies about juvenile delinquency

The nearly four-hour film "Testimonials" only accounts for a small part of the ending of the "killing", while the previous three hours played all the details of the teenager's life. If society could pay as much attention to "perpetrators" as this film, maybe there really would be no "perpetrators".

3. Benny's Tapes (1992)

Formerly known as Benny's Video

Director: Michael Haneke

Country: Austria

Revelations: 10 movies about juvenile delinquency

What surprised me with the movie was that when the young man killed someone, his mother just calmly took him out for a vacation so that his father could settle things at home. Yes, this is one of the soils in which crime depends.

4. The Elephant (2003)

Former name: Elephant

Director: Gus Van Sant

Country: United States

Revelations: 10 movies about juvenile delinquency

The film "Testimonials" describes a school shooting, and the director narrates the incident in the same way that the "blind man touches the elephant" story! Yes, our public's understanding of social crimes is "blind people touching elephants", one-sided and single.

5. "Hard Candy in Fruit" (2005)

Formerly known as Hard Candy

Director: David Slade

Revelations: 10 movies about juvenile delinquency

The story of "Recommended Words" is about an adult man who is framed by an underage female netizen... Watching this film is like an experiment: when we watch a crime, we have more of an emotion or thinking about the perpetrator's motives.

6. Psychedelic Park (2007)

Formerly known as Paranoid Park

Revelations: 10 movies about juvenile delinquency

The director of "Recommendation" uses the lens to combine the environment and the actions of the characters, and describes the psychology and mentality of a juvenile offender so profoundly. Especially the ignorant and innocent expression of the criminal juvenile...

7. "Red Fury Tide" (2008)

Former name: Red

Directed by: Trygve Allister Diesen / Razi Makay

Revelations: 10 movies about juvenile delinquency

"Recommended Words" Those criminal juveniles in this movie are the standard rich second generation, look at their parents, you know what the children are like!

8. Lake Eden (2008)

Formerly known as Eden Lake

Director: James Watkins

Country: United Kingdom

Revelations: 10 movies about juvenile delinquency

Why can the group of children in the film be so blatant and unscrupulous to bully people and even commit crimes, look at the group of adults behind them and you will know!

9. "White Ribbon" (2009)

原名:The White Ribbon

Countries: Germany, Austria

Revelations: 10 movies about juvenile delinquency

"Recommended" is a film with a story as mysterious as Kafka; it is also a cruel juvenile crime movie that is so close to reality. And the terrible thing is that all these crimes are just children's pranks.

10. What Happened to Kevin (2011)

原名:We Need to Talk About Kevin

Director: Lynn Ramsey

Countries: United Kingdom, United States

Revelations: 10 movies about juvenile delinquency

"Recommended" "What happened to Kevin"? I guess that's the question that all people who really care about juvenile delinquency want to ask!

Let's use this movie as the closing recommendation of our article today, and once again express the editor's point of view: in the face of a social crime incident, if we can focus on the question of "what is wrong with Kevin", rather than paranoid about the emotional venting of "Kevin should be slashed" and "Kevin should go to hell", maybe the tragedy will really be reduced.
