I finally know why this film was banned

"Seventeen-Year-Old Bicycle" reflects the lifestyles of two young people - city people and country people; but they are also the same kind of people - "lower class people". To put it simply, this film The play is a tragedy of "lower class people".

The Seventeen-Year-Old Bicycle" tells the story of a young man who came from out of town to make a living. He finally found a courier job, but he did not have a bicycle, so he had to be provided by the courier and deducted money every month; until the end On the day when all the deductions for one month were over and the bicycle officially became my own, the bicycle was stolen.

The young man couldn’t find it. By chance, he discovered a bicycle. This bicycle was acquired by another young man from a second-hand market. The courier boy decided to use the most primitive method to solve the problem. He stole his bicycle back; but another young man was unwilling to have his second-hand bicycle stolen and found a large group of friends to get the bicycle back. The final ending was unexpected and impressive to the audience.

The story of the movie is actually very simple, but the development of the plot is fascinating. When it was screened in Berlin before the game, the audience laughed continuously and the response was quite good. Many people will compare Italian Disica's new realistic classic "Bicycle Stolen" with "Seventeen Years Old Bicycle". Director Wang Xiaoshuai said that the two films also focus on the fate of small people in the big society. The struggle to survive with all one's strength had its significance to Italy at that time and China now.

The young mainland actors Li Bin, Cui Lin and Gao Yuanyuan who starred in "Seventeen Years Old Bicycle" are all between 18 and 22 years old. Gao Yuanyuan lives up to her name, with big eyes, a round face, a sweet smile, and she is like a doll. She is now a queen in mainland China. She is currently studying in the third year of the Economics Department of China Labor and Movement University. She is 22 years old. Before making movies, There are already many works. She hopes to develop in photography and photography in the future. As for making movies, one movie a year is enough. She needs to have her own time to do her own thing.

Cui Lin, who is handsome and looks like a Japanese drama hero, is of Japanese descent. His grandparents lived in Northeast China after the war, and his father adopted a Chinese woman. He comes from the Northeast and plays a courier boy in the film. In real life, he is a martial arts student and is very interested in movies. I heard that he also has an uncle who is currently trying to find him. ; He hopes to continue working in movies in the future. If someone asks him to film a movie, Cui Lin is very willing to come.

Li Bin is smaller, but full of drama, very easy-going but has his own opinions. He said that he has no idols he admires, and it doesn’t matter whether he becomes an idol, so as long as everyone likes his movies, he will be satisfied . (Sen Zhen Paulin)

The bustling and bustling city and fast-paced music in the film set off a country boy "Agui". He is simple, kind and a bit dull. He came to work from the countryside and found Ordered a courier delivery by bicycle, and the fee for each order was 10 yuan. When he earns enough 600 yuan, he can get off his favorite silver mountain bike that was lent to him. From then on, Agui rode his bicycle through the streets and alleys, but the "city" was always out of tune with him. First, the director showed him a beautiful girl who kept changing her clothes, so that he could see what it means to be a "city dweller"; then, he let him be bullied everywhere, to see what the magnificence of a "city dweller" meant, and then let him go. Go to the door of the hotel and let him "feel life". The constantly rotating hotel door represents the high-speed urban life and advanced material civilization. Agui, who is hesitantly rotating following the revolving door, represents the outsiders' ignorance of life. Bewildered! Agui finally entered the hotel but was greeted like a fool to take a "civilized bath". Unexpectedly, the "bath" was taken in the wrong way. Not only was the "Mr. Zhang" he was looking for not found, but he was also forced to pay When paying for the bathing fee, Agui shouted helplessly, "I'm not here to take a bath" and "You asked me to take a bath" - Agui who didn't understand the "money" rules of life in the city once again showed his incompatibility with the city. He wanted to escape. It could be said that he wanted to escape from this suffocating, incompatible and nightmarish land. There were too many things here that were puzzling!

The exhausted Agui finally left the hotel for free with the manager's "charity", but bad luck struck again. His only property, his bicycle, was stolen. He searched everywhere at a loss. In the film, Agui runs like a blind fly in the vast sea of ??cars, accompanied by the hesitant and lost slow-paced saxophone music. The composition expresses that people are losing "hope" (the bicycle is Agui's life in the city). The tool of life, the only property, the "relatives" who depend on each other for life, the bicycle is Agui's only hope), the helplessness, anxiety and panic after the accident! ——This is the reality of the city-the cruel life has once again plunged Agui into sorrow! In the end, the actor looked at the spare car chain at the scene of the lost car, and his eyes were filled with unshed tears, all of which were shocking to the heart. This is the expression of the deep despair and helplessness of the lower class.

The bike is lost and the job is gone. Agui’s only hope is to find his bike and his hope. In the process of looking for his bike, he meets Ajian. A Jian is a middle school student from a poor family. He lives at the bottom of society like A Gui. The only difference is that he is from the city. His father always dotes on the younger sister brought by his stepmother and never fulfills his promise. Give him the promise of a bike.

In anger, he stole 500 yuan from his family and went to the junkyard to buy a bicycle. For Ajian, a bicycle was not just a bicycle, it was "something that should have been his" and his dignity. He didn't want a bicycle. But it was the one Agui lost. After Agui found out, he went to steal it back, and Ajian snatched it back; Agui wanted to go back again, and Ajian chased and snatched it back again. The two just wanted to get entangled in this cycle, one wanted to get "Hope" back, and the other In the last scramble to get his "dignity" back, Agui cried. He desperately grabbed his car and screamed heartbreakingly. These shouts one after another can be said to be a vent for the injustice of the world, or they can be said to be an attack of self-defense in despair. Reality has forced the lower-class workers to expose themselves. Agui's scream shocked Ajian and his friends, stopped their continued robbery, and seemed to awaken their conscience from the depths of their souls. Agui's shouting made people feel that what he was about to lose was not a bicycle, but a part of his body, and it was the most important part.

The 17-year-old Ajian couldn't bear such shouting, but the bicycle was also the most important thing in his body, and he couldn't let it go. They had to give in, "I can't give you the bike, but pay back the money! 500 No, 400 is fine, but 300 is really not enough!” But in Agui’s view, the bicycle was “mine, and I’ve already paid for it,” but in Ajian’s view, “I’ve also paid for it.” , they finally reached an agreement: one person for one day! This thing that seems ridiculous to adults seems to be the best solution between them. This is the obsession of two 17-year-old people living in the lower class. It is the most helpless choice in life, but it is also kind.

When two 17-year-olds came together on bicycles, A Jian stretched out his hand and A Gui took the initiative to "shake", which was even more meaningful. The two young people from the lower class were each protecting their own interests. They succumbed to the most unreasonable "agreement" in the world and suffered the most unfair treatment. This handshake can be said to be the friendship between these two fateful 17-year-olds who had the same illness. The tragic reality made the "enemy" ” became “friends”!

Destiny seems to have closely linked them. In the end, Jian beat the "golden retriever" who stole his girlfriend with a brick. The people who came back for revenge beat him and Agui severely, and even their bicycles were mercilessly smashed. At the end of the film, Agui carries a broken bicycle and walks alone on the street. Finally, he is lost in the vast sea of ??cars. His lonely figure and broken bicycle symbolize him-a foreign, lower-class wage earner who will never be able to survive. Integrate into this city. When he came here, he had "hope" (a bicycle), but now his "hope" has been shattered, and natural people cannot survive - this is the sorrow of the lower class, who are doomed to be killed!

While exposing the sorrow of the lower class, the film also reveals the most obvious characteristics of modern young people: impulsiveness and confusion, growth setbacks and mistakes, which make people confused and lose their reason, and then produce impulses. All the film The characters and conflicts all revolve around two 17-year-old young people riding a bicycle. Cycling is their common confusion, which makes them have the same impulse, and finally shows the essential characteristics of the young people in the modern social reality. Because bicycles can be seen everywhere in life, they can help make the film feel real and believable from the beginning. Then the dialogue and behavior of the characters are also very real. There is almost no language in the film, and they are all through real actions. , the simplest expression, so simple that there is no ornamentation at all, giving people a kind and natural feeling.

The film is good not because of the acting, but because of the naturalness and authenticity!
