"That's great! Teenager: Don't look back, keep walking!

Editor: What a mess.

"That's great! On the official poster of Teenager, a teenager wearing a baseball uniform is trying to slide the base, which looks like a huge exclamation mark on the baseball field from a distance. This makes me vaguely feel that this is a story of a group of baseball teenagers changing their fate through baseball.

At the beginning of the film, the slightly swaying lens began to follow several immature teenagers, and the focus of the lens kept swimming with the narrative process. One is the impulsive nature of anxious teenagers, and the other is the indecision of the team's main force. Regarding the environment and the present situation, the camera paid attention to it. When I gradually get used to this swimming perspective, I expect a victory to come to a climax, which is followed by failure and farewell. It suddenly dawned on me that this is not a legendary bloody sports movie, nor is it an inspirational movie that makes people cry. It is a real fragment of a group of teenagers, a scene that they can't erase when they grow up.

"I was only so big when I was born, much smaller than my twin brother. Because he couldn't live without milk, his brother was sold to Baoding. I wanted to send me at first, but the opposite side was too small, so I returned it and replaced it with my brother. When I come back, I'm going to bury me in the soil. Uncle said forget it and stay. "

That's Liang, the main pitcher of the base baseball team. He is lying in bed, surrounded by his friends, smiling innocently and saying heartbreaking words.

My father died before I was born, and my mother ran away as soon as she was born, so I was brought up by my uncle. Such a sad growing experience is not a case in the baseball base of Strong Love.

The batter on the team is sloppy, everyone in the film is annoying, fighting and making trouble, and is good at turning all problems into violent problems.

Such a child with thorns all over his body, from snacks to adults, wore hundreds of clothes. His mother disappeared after a big fight with his father shortly after his birth, and his father worked outside all the year round. There is only one grandmother in the family. Grandma helped careless with the clothes and wanted to help him change into a more suitable one, but because she couldn't see the needle and thread, she had to give up.

Baomao's father returned to his hometown after Baomao went to the baseball team. He roasted mutton kebabs, drank wine, drunk and broadcast live, sang with headphones, and let the soaking cat dance ballroom dancing for the live camera. These tiny marks stung a child's sensitive heart.

All the children on the baseball team have similar but different painful memories. Because the selection criteria of this baseball team are not physical fitness, technical level and love, but poverty.

This group of children who have lost at the starting line since birth seems that their lives can only end in a heartbreaking sigh, but as long as they have the opportunity to turn over, they will try their best to seize it. Every time they swing, it seems that it is not the flying baseball, but the unfair fate they bear.

The coach said, I hope these children can play in provincial teams, national teams and international teams. At worst, you can take the college entrance examination as a sports special student and go to a university.

"That's great! No one has asked these children whether they like baseball, including the children themselves. They just swing, throw, run and kneel again and again. ...

These children try their best to seize this opportunity and become better. We also see a bright future in these children. It was baseball that lit their lifelike pool of stagnant water.

One is talented players, who dare to take risks and work hard, but they are not used in the right direction. He pushes teams and teammates at school, eats chalk and disturbs people everywhere. He shouted and fought fiercely to win the attention of people around him. He longs for love, but he can't find the right way to push people farther and farther.

The other is an all-around player, shy, precocious and sensible, who has been doing his own thing silently. He carried all the hardships in life on his shoulders and pressed them into his heart. He is the hardest working boy in the team at present, but he is pointed out by the coach that he is not confident, passive and radical enough.

This should be the most classic partner setting in blood sports comics.

Documentary director Xu also thinks that these two teenagers are like two sides of an organic whole, so he chooses sloppy and small doubles as the focus of the story, so that off-screen audiences don't expect them to stumble to gain mutual recognition in love and killing each other, learn from each other's growth strength, and move towards a brilliant life.

In fact, it is indeed true. In constant running-in training, Xiao Shuang dared to throw some aggressive balls. He gradually became the core of the team, with a naive smile on his face and confidence in his eyes. Leisure also brings "soldiers" and understands the importance of the team. He shook hands with Dabao, the captain who was torn together at that time, and struggled to drive the off-court players to cheer for the players on the field.

It only takes one game to prove their victory!

The most important opportunity for a strong and caring baseball team has come. The American Pony League was very surprised to learn that there is such a baseball team composed entirely of orphans and poor children in China. After research, it decided to invite them to represent the Asia-Pacific region.

As long as it can make achievements in this international competition, this team will get unprecedented attention, get rid of this bad state, get a lot of sponsorship, and the players in the team will become the reserve army of the national team, and the future will be worry-free from now on.

But they lost.

Lose two games in a row.

There is no victory.

The lens swept through the confusion on Xiao Shuang's face, shouldering everyone's hope. He went into battle with an injury and threw the ball that missed points again and again.

According to the routine of comics, such a team should lose first and then win, stumble to the final, and finally win the final championship when no one thinks it is impossible. At worst, you should show your style and shock the world. Comics are all like this. That's what movies do.

At that time, I was very confused when I watched it. Later, I realized that this is not a movie, this is life.

Not everything will have a good result through hard work. After all, they went to America and were influenced by baseball culture at school since childhood. They sat in the American car and looked out the window at the bustling feeling. "There are baseball fields everywhere."

This is the gap between the two worlds, and it is too difficult for children to equalize or even surpass it by their own efforts.

After watching the movie, I checked the information and found that they were not without achievements. In 20 17, four people were selected for the national team. Why did the director aim at their most embarrassing game?

Looking at Xiao Shuang's last smile in the film and standing straight and untidy at the press conference, I suddenly felt that all the previous sufferings were meaningful. Winning a game is not the real way to prove them, but the real change for these children is. Documentary is not limited to the grief of suffering and setbacks, but to stand up from setbacks and move on, representing the Asia-Pacific region in the American Pony League competition, which is the climax of the film, not the end. After the game, coach Sun was still in contact with the school that could accommodate these children, watching the children queue through the demolished ruins and knowing that life went on.

Although life is still bitter and difficult, these teenagers still have hope and motivation to move forward.

At the end of the film, I sat in the car humming, "I will remember your face firmly, and I will cherish your thoughts." Xiao Shuang stood under the tree and shouted at his uncle, "You can't leave me alone!" On and off the screen, I can't bear to say goodbye!

More exciting, all in the shadow!
