What kind of movie is Seventeen?

Once upon a time, campus youth must have abortion, black belly and other standard, otherwise it can not be called a youth film. Especially when youth films are popular in the film market, this standard is even more fearless, so that some films are particularly high-profile in propaganda to make a difference: we are a youth film without abortion and black belly. But even so, after watching this kind of film, I suddenly feel that youth films are over-consumed, which is so boring. No wonder even Zhao Wei will sigh.

However, although there is no slogan propaganda, the upcoming "Seventeen" really has no miscarriage and black belly, and it is pure and innocent, small and fresh, and there is no lack of stupidity and humor. It is the original ecological reproduction of the real campus youth love life. After getting used to watching those campus youth love movies that are prone to abortion, fighting, tearing pens and black bellies, we definitely feel that this is the youth we should have or should have.

Seventeen tells the story of two generations' youthful love. My parents' generation was in the 1980s, and the color of youth was simple and beautiful because of the breath of the times. At that time 17 years of youth, there were not many boys and girls who sprouted love, and most of them were on the same line as campus and family. However, although life is simple, it is not boring. Boys like to play tricks on girls, and few boys will send out explicit or implicit love to their favorite objects, which will only attract boos from classmates or roommates and get together. At that time, a beautiful female teacher often became the goddess in boys' hearts, so some boys secretly envied such a goddess. As for whether it is love or not, it is not clear. What's more, they are good at practical jokes, hurting teachers, classmates and even school leaders who don't like themselves or are too harsh on their management, but the result is a fire. It not only affects your studies, but also affects your own life path. The pure love that should have stopped and disappeared.

Today, 20 or 30 years later, some of the former young students have already got married, and some have become fathers. Their children have also entered the best and purest youth of 17 years old, and love will meet unexpectedly. The difference is that people aged 17 in the new era will be more active and direct in the face of love affairs, especially some girls. In fact, this is nothing strange, because this is the label given to them by the times. Through a family relationship, the film connects two youth stories of 17 years old separated by 20 or 30 years, interspersed before and after, giving people a feeling that youth is not old and love lasts forever.

The film Seventeen is also very conscientious and standard in the cast. Students who play 17 are really fresh meat under 20, and they are not suspected of act young act young. Moreover, their every move, mental outlook and youthful atmosphere on campus often remind people of their own years. From this perspective, the film is very grounded and close to life. Richie Jen and Alyssa Chia, a middle-aged uncle and aunt, played their parents' generation. It is worth mentioning the memories of their 17 campus youth. The film used young actors of similar age, instead of Richie Jen and Alyssa Chia returning to that era through lighting and makeup. This shows that the film is also very particular about the details.

The 17-year-old reappears the pure and beautiful youth love and takes a simple and fresh route. Boys and girls don't even kiss, and even cuddle very little, so there is no abortion and black belly. Admittedly, this treatment not only shows the group's success in sex education for teenagers in the film, but also shows the conservatism and self-esteem of people in that era, which is in line with the pulse of the times and the culture with regional characteristics.
