Before watching "Burning Wild Boy's Sky", I just watched the 2004 Hollywood movie "Napoleon the Great", which tells the story of Napoleon (who actually called it) a high school student in rural Idaho, USA.
Napoleon was an uncompromising boy, wearing thick glasses, his hair like a pile of hay, and his eyelids always hanging down when he spoke. He was dependent on his grandmother and unemployed brother, was not welcomed by his classmates at school, the girls used him as a joke, and he was often repaired by the teacher, and he himself was willing to be on the edge and did not want to change this situation.
Later, Napoleon became acquainted with his classmate Pedro, who was also very weak but had a small beard. Pedro suddenly had a whim to compete with the most popular girl in the school, Wheatley, for the presidency of the student council, and Napoleon decided to become Pedro's campaign manager, his only assistant.
At the final election meeting, Wheatley had all the advantages, but Napoleon, with his secret practice of break dancing, not only made Pedro turn over, but also impressed his classmates and won the girl he had been pursuing.
In modern society, people encourage students to work hard and act according to the mainstream recognized "good child" standards, but as everyone knows, this may be a new kind of ignorance, causing new oppression to children, children with different personalities are unconsciously formatted, lose their own nature, like Wheatley to become old-fashioned, conformist, and even utilitarian, snobbish.
So, Napoleon's existence is valuable, although it is very decaying, but it is his nature, he has the right to decline, he does not have to become like Wheatley.
Undoubtedly, Hollywood is aware of the problem of modern educational alienation, but can not find a way out, Napoleon's rebellion is a Biden-style knee-down rebellion, he will eventually return to the mainstream, to gain mainstream recognition.

Strictly speaking, "The Sky of the Burning Wild Boy" is not my dish, perhaps it has been overwhelmed by Indian song and dance films, and I have not liked song and dance films very much.
Moreover, in the big family of the Chinese nation, the Han nationality is deeply influenced by Confucian culture, has a reserved and introverted personality, and is not very good at singing and dancing, in our dictionary, the four words "can sing and dance" seem to be specially used to describe ethnic minorities.
If you are not good at singing and dancing and want to make song and dance films, it will always be a little awkward, right?
To tell the truth, "Burning Wild" as a song and dance film that has not been seen for many years, although many scenes are very "burning", but the song and dance and the plot can not be said to have reached the level of water and milk fusion.
But "Burning Wild" has a advantage that "Napoleon the Great Man" and other Hollywood movies can not reach, it is not the cream ice cream eaten with the eyes, not sweet and greasy, but the mung bean soup with rock sugar, which is also sweet, cool, and can also detoxify the heat.
The male protagonist of "Burning Wild", The old dog (played by Peng Yuchang), is a repeat student in the school and is considered to be a "salted fish teenager", and the heroine Xiao Huang (played by Xu Enyi), because of her father's "taste", height and skin color, is also rejected by her classmates and is regarded as a "weed girl", they jointly choose to "fight", do a "stupid thing" before graduation, and organize a dance team to participate in the "Dance Miracle" competition.
At this time, they are still like "Napoleon", embracing blockbuster ideas, hoping to be recognized by the mainstream.
However, in the process of the competition, they were booed off the stage by the audience, and the dance team was also scattered and ran for the future, in short, they had no hope of "salted fish turning over".
There is no hope but no burden, so enjoy the dance itself!
Xiao Huang issued an appeal in an interview at the final scene, and the "salted fish" and "weeds" who were dispersing saw this scene and ran back from all directions.
The game is over, the stage is empty, but what's so great about it? They completed their dance under the blue sky and above the blue sea, as the old dog said:
"Isn't there anything more important in life than winning?" For example, to lose a little happier? ”
This is not only to accept failure, but to embrace failure, enjoy failure, and lie flat in a dancing way.
I think that in the face of a highly alienated, highly utilitarian society, in the face of the gear meshing of "everyone must succeed", embracing failure, "losing more happily" is not a kind of resistance?
Refusing to acknowledge the rules of your game and starting a new life according to my own rules, why not be a new beginning?
Maybe there is no road yet, but the more people who walk, the more they will have the road, right?
Some people say that "Burning Wild Boy's Sky" is "the most healing movie in the summer program", is it true that realizing that your path is meaningful (even if it does not mean success in the secular sense at the same time) is not a cure?
