Hello, everyone, welcome to the film and television appreciation house, today I recommend a World War II-themed drama movie "Diary of a Bad Boy". The Diary of a Bad Boy is a work by Hungarian writer Jagota Christopher, which was later remade by Japanese director Tomoyuki Kokura into a film with the theme of "cruel youth". The film is mainly about a young and beautiful woman who only has to entrust her two sons to her mother in the countryside due to the war, but the old woman treats her two grandchildren particularly harshly.
Even if you are not careful, you will be beaten and have no food to eat. The two brothers grew up in a difficult environment, in order to make themselves strong, the two exercised their survival skills in various ways such as beating each other and hunger strikes every day. They carefully recorded what happened every day in a large notebook. As the pages of the diary are turned, a cold nightmare allegory gradually appears.
The protagonist of the film is a pair of twins, big and small, although in the war period, but relying on the father who gave his life to the country, their family also ate and drank. This time, the father of the big and small double came home and seemed to have a premonition that the war situation was not good, and when he left, he gave the brothers a diary, hoping that they could develop the habit of writing a diary, which could also be regarded as a spiritual sustenance.
The next day, the mother of the big and small double sent the brothers to her grandmother's house in the countryside, probably thinking that this would be able to escape the war. The daughter has not contacted herself for more than twenty years, so suddenly there are two more grandchildren, and the grandmother's heart is rejected. So the first night she didn't let the brothers into the house, only if she did enough work to have some soup to drink, so that the two of them could squeeze into a small bed to sleep. A little lazy, Grandma will either scold.
Fortunately, the father gave them a diary before going to war, and the brothers wanted to write down all the abuses they had suffered. In addition to direct domestic violence, the two of them also suffered indirect violence from their grandmother. Originally, it was just to sell apples on the street, and it was normal for thieves who did not eat or drink during the war to go along with their hands. Of course, grandma asking the brothers to chase the apple back is not an excessive thing, it is better than domestic violence against them.
But the brothers chased into a bar, but the thief bit back and said that the big and small two brothers were thieves, and an alcoholic standing next to him was also idle, and suddenly there was a way to understand the boredom, and without asking, the brothers were treated as thieves and violently. The two brothers suddenly felt that this was a bullshit world, how anyone could beat themselves, and the brothers decided to change this situation with determination
So the brothers decided to start with the ability to resist blows, and every morning the two stood in opposite rows and beat each other without defense, and sometimes they would take a whip to smoke each other.
However, this training is really not in vain, when Grandma once again scolded the brothers, they can not only be indifferent to Grandma's scolding, but also show an aggressive state of being beaten, provoking Grandma with words, taking the initiative to fight, invisible pretense is the most deadly.
The foreigner had to hide in the bedroom alone to drink alcohol to dispel his sorrows, and achieved a stage victory against his grandmother's domestic violence. The brothers hit the iron while it was hot to find the thief who killed them last time and was beaten by the drunkard, and took the other person's heart to the mouth, and the thief even tried to use it as a small game to please the brothers, but failed to do so. In the blink of an eye, it was winter, and when the brothers were training in hardiness, they found a deserter who had not eaten or drunk and was about to freeze to death, and by the time the brothers brought him food, the soldier had frozen to death.
The brothers looked at the ammunition around the soldiers, so they summed up and hid the guns and ammunition of the soldiers as a strategic reserve. The soldiers were able to starve to death, and the brothers felt that they should take this as a warning, expand the scope of training, and include starvation in their daily training subjects. After four days of not eating, Grandma's roast chicken still did not eat, so they had to watch the pigs when feeding the pigs to stop starving.
The hunger prevention was almost enhanced, and the brothers began to train their attack power again, such as killing the chicken in an extremely cruel way, turning the chicken unconscious first, and slowly pulling out the chicken feathers to fully experience the pain of being killed, and finally they had to eat the chicken carcass in a barbecue manner. Next, the brothers killed hundreds of small insects to accumulate experience, and for a time the lethality increased by leaps and bounds.
With the above accumulation, the brothers began to do some technical things, and after sharing information with the thief, they found the old priest who had played games with him, and extorted a sum of money from the old priest in order to disclose the game content to the local people. The money allowed them to get almost one free and two pairs of fine leather shoes from a well-meaning shoemaker.
However, a beautiful racist reported to the Germans that the old shoemaker was Jewish, and the old shoemaker was killed by the Germans. In the cold world, brothers can hardly feel a little warmth so they are destroyed by racists in an instant, no matter how big double and small double are also trained people, temper still have to have. The two did not hesitate to sneak out the grenades they had previously stockpiled and put them into the racist furnace, and from then on she never had to do her duty to investigate and report Jews.
Police quickly identified the brothers as suspects based on their range of activities and inflicted abuse on the brothers without any evidence that they had never endured. Fortunately, a German officer often sneaked to his grandmother's house to rest and eat, and happened to see the brothers get up in the morning to train in order to improve their defenses, and they were deeply moved by their diligence. So when he learned that the police had arrested the big double and the small double and committed violence, the officer killed the other party on the spot.
Not long after, the German officers fled with their men. Another batch of flatbread arrived, which had no effect on the brothers, but the thief and the new soldier made a game and died inexplicably. In the evening, the mother, who had never been back to see the brothers, returned, with his new child and the new man wanted to take the big and small pairs away. The brothers have experienced so much in this poor and remote area, and they understand a little bit about human feelings, so why do you want to send it, and pick it up when you want to take it. Just when the two sides continued to fight, a missile fell, and the mother died on the spot, staying with her mother forever, which is also considered to be the root of the fallen leaves, and the poor thing is that he and the new man have just given birth to a child.
At dawn, the biological father, who had been a prisoner of war for a long time and was finally released, also returned, and when he heard that his wife had been buried in the ground, the biological father's heart was cold, and he had to dig out his wife's body to see it. As a result, two corpses, one large and one small, were exhumed, and the biological father's heart still felt more comfortable when he was just pulling out the cold. Another day later, in order to fulfill the wish of the grandmother who had suffered a stroke to leave safely, the big pair and the little two put severe poison in the milk according to her request.
The brothers and the biological father were left, and the father and son, who did not want to be ruled by the soldiers like thieves, decided to cross the border illegally. The brothers watched from a distance as their father passed first, watching as his father stepped on the border and planted a mine and was killed. Teenagers who did not know whether it was their brother or brother crawled over and stepped on their father's body and ran across the minefield to the other side of the border, while the remaining teenagers who did not know whether it was their brother or brother stayed on this side and fled away from the poor countryside where their grandmother's house was located.
Why didn't the two brothers go together, Xiaobian thought that there might be a person who instigated it, and he didn't dare to cross the minefield that blew his father up. That's the end of the movie. This is a drama film full of negative energy, from the perspective of a child, the story of the war background. Xiaobian once read a comment: I became bad just to adapt to this world that is not bad and cannot live, and in this cruel war era, I may be killed by shells at any time, which is just the right sentence.
