Film Review｜"Youth"

It begins with the monologue at the end of "Youth" -

"The youth of a generation has passed away,

beyond recognition.

Although they talk and laugh as before,

it is not difficult to see the changes that time has had on everyone,

and the unconcealable loss. ”

Watch the entire drama. After all, people feel sorry for Liu Feng and He Xiaoping, but they also envy them because they live their own lives.

Liu Feng, the living Lei Feng among everyone, has been deprived of the right to like others because of his status. All those who love him will also be accused of "corrupting the Living Lei Feng."

Just like Lin Dingding said, anyone can like her, but not Liu Feng. She said she could not afford to be accused of "corrupting good people." Under such circumstances, her choice was wise. But she should not report Liu Feng for "playing a hooligan" just to protect her innocence.

Lin Dingding has always been very clear about how she wants to live, and she finally lived what I saw as a miserable life, marrying to Australia and becoming a plump lady. When I say this, many people may say that I am pretending to be noble, so I have to say that everyone’s situation is different. I may make the same choice as Lin Dingding, but I definitely won’t feel that it is the right one.

Liu Feng was transferred to the war zone and fought bloody battles with his comrades on the battlefield. At the same time, He Xiaoping, who knew how to stick to his heart, was sent to the battlefield to work as a nurse due to deliberate slackness (in fact, he insisted on believing that Liu Feng was a good person and was completely disappointed with the art troupe). The bloody scenes on the front line made him insane.

Every scene with He Xiaoping feels so tear-jerking. She has experienced hardships since she was a child and has drawn a clear line between herself and her biological father. She has not seen her father since she was six years old. I saw a kind and innocent girl who always wanted to pursue a good life, but she continued to suffer a cruel fate from her heart and forced by reality.

The whole drama is very realistic. After the war, the good man Liu Feng, a good man who "should do good things" in the eyes of everyone, became the most embarrassed. His wife and the truck driver ran away, and he was forced to drive for a living. Pulling a book, having the car impounded by bullshit administrative staff, having to deal with all the trouble, and being humiliated...

However, as he said himself, "What is good? Compared with those brothers lying in the cemetery, I What else can I say?"

Everyone has his own pursuit and way of living. Like Liu Feng, he devoted his youth to serving the country and collective others. He lived his ideal life with no regrets.

To be precise, people like Lin Dingding are not hateful, but pitiful. She is a burial object in the confused current situation, and she dare not love. Maybe in her own situation, she felt that her life was not bad, or even superior, but in fact she spent all her youth just to prove that she was not a joke, and in fact she just left everyone with a shallow Back view...

I want to use a poem by Zang Kejia at the end

Some people are alive

He is alive

Some people are alive

He is dead

Youth is still there, and we will eventually live how we want.
