Better Days (2019)

one of the best movies ive watched

coming from someone who only watching romance movies / dramas i wanted to watch this only because someone recommended it and even then it took me a while to just sit down and watch it but once i started it i was glued to my tv, it was so
(i am not super great at writing reviews i just felt like this movie deserved it,)
the plot of Better days is so emotional and sadly realistic in some aspects it was always keeping me interested into how it would turn out for the two mains and i just wanted things to be easier for both of them,
and if the plot and important message of this movie alone isn't good enough for you to watch it then you are in for a treat because everything about this movie was beautiful, the cinematography and scenes were perfect it felt so real and 100% convincing, every emotion that characters felt in the moment was displayed on screen so well and it made you feel the things they felt, it gave you a deeper dive into how they felt. The music was really fitting and was added in when needed (not to much not to little) + the intro set the tone of the movie well (into scene confused me at first but was short and i understood it at the end of the movie so its no big deal). The cast was a 10/10 for me, they fit the characters so well and the acting never made me cringe or even think they could do better, both main leads did an amazing job of getting into the characters, it felt so real the whole movie. this movie was so amazing and i could definitely re-watch it many times (i probably will be)
don't have a lot to say but if you haven't watched this movie you definitely should (please read the tags and make sure you can deal with topics that are discussed / shown in this movie)

There is something unique about Zhou Dongyu's choice of movies to star in.

I came into this movie with high expectations expecting an emotional story as its the custom with movies staring her
its a really good, realistic and engaging story with some fantastic acting from everyone .

Every one had chapters in their lives when they thought life would stop, you get in one hell of ride to visit some one's own chapter

this is the kind of movie where popcorn would probably not be very appealing , grab your seat, close the lights and enjoy this movie :)

Better days é um filme violento mas delicado. Ele aborda a história de dois personagens principais: Chen Nian, uma estudante pobre que está finalizando o ensino médio e se preparando para o "ENEM" chinês, ela acaba de perder uma colega de classe. O segundo protagonista é o Xiao Bei, um adolescente sem pais, vítima de abandono social e da violência das ruas onde trabalha em empregos ilegais para se sustentar. Os protagonistas levam vidas quase completamente antônimas mas não são as diferenças que os unem e sim suas miseráveis semelhanças, que criam uma rede profunda e complexa de laços afetivos entre os dois. Esse filme fala sobre bullying, pobreza, violência, assassinato, suicídio, estupro e amor. Todos as palavras chaves ruins e negativas usadas para descrever o gênero do filme perdem para a única positiva: amor. E é isso que torna esse filme uma obra de arte, sensível, chocante, dolorida e bela. Além da história impecável e sem furos, da bela fotografia e trilha sonora, o filme tem as melhores atuações já vistas! Os protagonistas dão alma aos seus personagens e suas atuações são BRILHANTES. Se você assistiu "Parasita" e gostou, não deixe de assistir "Better Days", não se prive dessa obra prima. Deixarei o link do filme na bio.
