The teenager kills the girl he loves,
This sadomasochistic film, however, is hailed as one of the best films in Taiwan and the pinnacle of director Yang Dechang.
It is based on the real case that happened around director Yang Dechang, which is also the first juvenile homicide case in Taiwan.
Many people can see their once unscrupulous youth in it.
There are also many people, after watching this movie, like a knife carved into the heart.
This movie is called "The Juvenile Murder On Muling Street", and many people can't understand it.
"Juvenile Murder On Muling Street"
In 1959, millions of people from other provinces had retreated to Taiwan with the Nationalist army for ten years.
They had never thought about this walk before, it was a lifetime, and many people could not return to their hometown until they died.
In the past decade, more and more people have been forced to take root here, live in peace, and live here.
The Little Four family is one of them.
His father worked in a government unit as a small clerk and his mother was a substitute teacher.
Although the parents work decently, the five children in the family are poor.
Because of the patriarchal mentality, the two older sisters and one younger sister of the fourth grade did not go to school.
My brother also dropped out of school early because of his poor studies.
The primary four with excellent results almost pinned the hope of the whole family.
However, in the junior high school examination, the primary four played abnormally, and the score did not reach the admission score.
In order to let the primary four go to school, his father frantically entrusted the relationship, and pleaded with the low three and four,
In the end, Xiao Si entered the night department of Jianzhong.
The environment in the night department is very poor, almost all of them are students who do not like to study, and fighting is the norm.
They even form gangs with social, the largest of which are called Little Park and 217.
Most of the people in the Night Ministry joined the two groups and fought over the turf.
Primary Four is the small part that did not join.
He is introverted, not good at words, and has few friends.
But at heart, he is a stubborn person who will argue for the things he insists on.
On this day of the exam, the next to him told XiaoSi to copy the test paper,
But Little Four didn't bird him at all.
After the exam, the found The Fourth and wanted to teach him a lesson.
But Little Four is not that kind of weak person, he snatched his classmate's baseball bat and prepared to resist.
Xiao Mao, a good friend of Xiao Si, persuaded the mixed-ups and gave up.
"You don't see him as a good student, but if you really bully him, he dares to play with you for real"
While the was still thinking, the director came, and the two had to separate.
One day, Xiao Si went to the infirmary for injections, where he met a girl who was injured by playing ball: Xiaoming,
Xiaoming, pure and beautiful, everyone has a white moonlight when they are students.
The moment Xiao Si saw Xiao Ming, he felt that this was the girl in his dream.
And the doctor in the infirmary came to an assist,
She asked Xiao Si to send Xiaoming, whose foot was injured, to the classroom.
But such a good opportunity, Xiao Si did not want to waste, so he took Xiaoming to skip class to watch the movie shooting on the set.
But did not want to, was favored by the director on the set, decided to let Xiaoming be the heroine, let her audition in a few days.
After walking around the set, Xiao Si took Xiao Ming to the shooting range,
The two are having fun here, but when they don't want to go back, they run into a few little, who belong to gang 217
Maybe in order to show his manhood in front of Xiaoming.
Little Four picked four and fought the first fight of his life.
Xiao Si felt that his relationship with Xiao Ming was getting closer and closer.
But Xiaoming is not as simple as XiaoSi thought,
She has a boyfriend, and her boyfriend is the boss of the little park: Hani.
But Hani kills and escapes, and she plays with Little Four, perhaps only because no one is with her.
And she injured her leg because she and xiao fourth classmate Xiaohu went to play ball.
She also knew that the little tiger was interesting to her.
When Xiao Si learned that Bob was Hani's girlfriend,
He once forced Xiaoming to confirm what the relationship between the two was.
But Xiao Clear said: You and his personality are very similar, they are all love to fight and hug, but he is him, you are you.
Xiao Si was silent, and then asked Xiao Ming: Did Hani kill people and run away because of her?
Xiaoming did not answer, but said that he asked Xiaosi if he would come to see his audition.
Xiaoming has no father, and her mother raised her.
The mother worked as a servant to the rich man, and the two of them borrowed money together to live in the master's house.
However, her mother was dismissed by the owner's family because of asthma.
There was no way, the mother had to take Xiaoming to a relative's house.
Because he was remembered by the school, Xiaoming did not participate in the audition for the actor of primary four.
Her escaped boyfriend, Hani, was killed as soon as he returned.
Successive setbacks have caused Xiaoming to suffer a serious illness.
When she was well, she came to school again,
Little Four finally bravely confessed next to the military band:
"Xiaoming, don't be afraid, be brave, have me in you never need to be afraid, I will never leave you, I will be your lifelong friend, I will protect you"
But I didn't want Bob to answer:
"I don't want anyone, no one is useful"
After saying that, turn around and leave.
But after a few days, Xiaoming changed his mind,
"Is everything you said to me last time true?" You must not lie to me."
Thus began the relationship between the two.
But through gradual contact, Xiao Si found that
Xiaoming not only had entanglements with his classmate Xiaohu, but also thought that many people liked him.
Especially when Primary Four made a mistake and dropped out of school, because he had to study, he worked hard to enter the day department, and there was little contact with Xiaoming.
Xiaoming actually hooked up with Xiao Si's good brother Xiao Ma and lived with his mother in Xiao Ma's house.
The pony and the little four have a good relationship, he told the little four:
I can provide Xiaoming with a place to work and stay, and you should not affect our friendship because of a woman.
This frustrated Xiao Si's identity, and after thinking about it for a long time, he decided to have a showdown with the ponies.
And threatened him: If you are with Xiaoming, I will go to school every day to block you.
In the evening, in order to fulfill his promise,
Armed with a short knife, crouched in front of the school, waiting for the pony.
But the pony did not meet, but met Xiaoming.
Holding the short knife of the small four belts, Xiaoming was disappointed,
She didn't want to get too entangled with him, and advised him not to impulsively do stupid things, so she decided to leave.
In order to save Xiaoming, Xiao Si said:
"Bob, I know all your things, but I don't care, because only I know, only I can help you, I am your only hope now."
"You mean, to help me change me?" You used to be the same as those people, good to me, just want to exchange my feelings for you, you are too selfish, want to change me, I am just like this world, this world will not change, who do you think you are? ”
Perhaps unable to accept Xiao Ming's statement, Xiao Si, who was angry, stabbed the short knife at Xiao Ming.
He kept muttering in his mouth: "Do you have a breath, don't face, do you have a breath?"
One knife, two knives..... Seven knives,
The teenager who once said I would protect you ended up killing the girl he wanted to protect.
This is "The Juvenile Murder Incident on Muling Street", selected as one of the BBC's 100 best foreign language films, the whole film is 237 minutes, almost 4 hours, because the plot content is too much, a lot of details, the shadow sister has been simplified, you can go to see the original film, savor.
The little four in the movie, it can be said that like many teenagers, is an idealist,
He felt he could change the world, he felt like a hero, he felt that if he gave it, he had to pay it back, but the world wasn't what he thought.
Bob, can be said to be an egoist.
Her experience since childhood has made her understand that doing things should be beneficial to herself in order to do it.
So in order to get protection she found Hani, in order to get accompaniment she found Little Four, in order to get shelter she found Pony.
You can say she's materialistic, but that's how she lives.
And now in the world, there are more and more material things, and people are running for profit.
As Bob said, "I'm just like this world."
So when the idealist of Little Four understands the nature of this world,
When he understands that the world is not something that one person can change, and that some things are not rewarded by paying.
His worldview was shocked, and under this blow some people were assimilated by the world, and some people were like little four moths to the fire.
It can be said that The knife that Xiao Si stabbed at Xiao Ming is not only resentment of emotional betrayal, but resistance to the entire society.
And Xiaoming is also like youth, piercing youth, after the beautiful death, people will eventually face the world.
This is a hurdle that everyone has to go through on their growth path.
But the director also left the audience with a good hope,
That's Xiao Mao in the movie.
This not tall boy is very moralistic to his friends and has helped Little Four a lot.
He loves music, worships Elvis Presley, and through hard work, gets a reply from Elvis Presley.
In this complex world, there are many people like him,
Even if life has brought scars, it is still working hard for dreams and fighting for ideals.
They will always walk on the road of pursuing ideals, they will always be teenagers,
It will always be the self that you hide deep in your heart, buried by the world and society.
