The film review on sunny days is 1 words.

It is not presumptuous to define this film as a youth film or a romance film. Jiang Wen and Wang Shuo are actually not talking about the Cultural Revolution in this film, but about their own youth and love during the Cultural Revolution. The title of Sunny Days speaks for itself-no one would think that that particular era was really a sunny time, but the statue of the great leader that we need to look up at at at the beginning of the film seems to be the same. But, in the final analysis, it is yours. You young people are like the sun at eight or nine o'clock in the morning … ",because for this group of children, there is no parental discipline, no teacher's restraint, and only beer, old mo, cigarettes, warfare and internal reference films. The Cultural Revolution is just a day for them to get into trouble, and this endless freedom is the most sunny life for children. Correspondingly, at the end of the film, the color of the film changed from color to black and white. Perhaps Jiang Wen thought that the period of the Cultural Revolution should be the most colorful time in Ma Xiaojun's life. Compared with the most wanton life, he has lost the brilliant color even though he was driving a Cadillac.

Since it is a youth film, love is of course indispensable. The scene of picking locks actually implies Ma Xiaojun's curiosity when love is just beginning to sprout, so the first lock he pried open should of course be a drawer locked with condoms, and the exploration caused by curiosity will be out of control from then on, until he meets Milan, or rather, he meets a photo of Milan. In that classic scene of playing with binoculars, Ma Xiaojun made the first brilliant discovery of the opposite sex in her life, so the photos of Milan she saw at that time were actually in color. However, people who experienced that era should remember that there were no color photos at that time, and color photos were just a luxury until the early 198s. Therefore, with the gradual disappearance of the mystery of Milan, her photos also lost their first brilliance in Ma Xiaojun's eyes and became the original black and white. When he was crazy about Milan, Ma Xiaojun also heard about Milan's "deeds" from his companions, but his affection for Milan made him ignore those rumors at all. However, the ambiguous relationship between Milan and Liu Yi and the jealousness and jealousy of Milan in the swimming pool made all his good impressions of Milan broken again and again. Finally, the foot that kicked Milan into the swimming pool clearly expressed Ma Xiaojun's disdain and disgust for her at the moment.

Another plot is that when Milan first appeared, her steps were so light, mysterious and unattainable in Ma Xiaojun's eyes. However, in the scene where Milan climbed into the swimming pool to show off her figure at the end of the movie, the audience would notice that Milan climbed into the swimming pool so clumsily from Ma Xiaojun's perspective, and the audience would feel that she was so fat as Ma Xiaojun did from a photographic perspective. This is so different from the memory that she wore sunglasses thousands of miles away when she first met Milan. In the past, Ma Xiaojun was able to get close to Milan only because she asked him to pour water for her to wash her hair or drive her to the farm with a bicycle. After all the mystery of the opposite sex she once loved disappeared, Ma Xiaojun finally got rid of her pent-up feelings and rushed into Milan's home, breaking the key chain tied to Milan's ankle that she had long wanted to break. Later, the semi-nude scene of Milan, which was deleted from the domestic cinema release, showed Ma Xiaojun's youthful impulse to vent, and also witnessed his break with Ma Xiaojun, a teenager who walked on the roof with a hazy feeling of love.

Just as the sunshine in the Cultural Revolution was so brilliant that it was unreal at that particular time, the only scene in the film in the rain was so unreal in the warm tone. Perhaps because it was unreal, Ma Xiaojun's unreal fantasy came true in this scene. In this rainy scene, Ma Xiaojun unexpectedly changed his old caution and sang the name of Big Milan. When Milan asked him, "What's the matter with you?" When he was in the film, he did not hesitate to say the words that have been lingering in his heart in front of her for the only time-"I like you!" " Milan, as he wished, hugged him tightly, which was the only comforting hug in the whole film, but it was so unreal, because the rain was so unreal on the most sunny day ....... The reality that Milan was still flirting with Liu Yi after the rain cleared proved that his fantasy was really wishful thinking, and the scene of fighting Liu Yi at the birthday party was just an attempted ambition in Ma Xiaojun's mind. In fact, there has never been such a warm rain, such a bright sunshine, and such a strong and intense youth!

Gu Changwei's photography skills are brought into full play at the end of the film ―― Ma Xiaojun is kicked out of the swimming pool, and his helplessness in the water also symbolizes his isolation. This very stream-of-consciousness shot shows the sense of suffocation very well, but a little sinking and alienation in the shot seems to express his sense of pondering, perhaps echoing the sense of accomplishment when Ma Xiaojun, who is full of ambition at the end of the film, counts down his partner when he was driving a famous car!

Finally, when Ma Xiaojun walked sadly on the roof, and rode with his beloved Milan through the forest path in the orange sunshine of the sunset, the background music was an interlude in Mascagni's opera Country Knight. This classical music from foreign operas was so coordinated with the love in China during the Cultural Revolution that the Angry Bull, which first quoted this interlude, was not suitable for this music.
