When a friend recommended for me to see the trailer before it was released I was determined to watch this as soon as humanly possible. I knew it was about bullying and struggling from what I’ve seen in the trailer. When I saw it two nights ago I was blown away with the cinematography, the acting, the music selection for the entire movie so we can fee, the emotion of the film. Sorry if I cannot remember names but the lead female character feels so relatable with her struggles about being in poverty, getting bullied and getting ready to graduate high school. We are given a window how it is for students in Asia especially China how hard they have to study and how stressed they get when exams are close. Seeing how different our society is when different countries deal with bullying and cyber bullying. I feel happy that the lead female character was able to find a friend even if it was under not so good of a situation. They where able to help each other out both mentally, emotionally and physically. The lead girl started to give the lead guy the emotional and mental support he needed because he had no one in his life just like the girl and they both helped each other physically because the girl was constantly getting harassed and the lead girl helped the guy because he was always getting into fights so she helped him look for other outlets to spend his time because he was a thug. He was only a thug because he had to survive for money as a minor. You can see their friendship start to blossom the more time they spend together and they start to fall in love. Their romance doesn’t get a lot of attention because this movie is about the bullying in China but it’s hard to deny they are falling in love with each other. It is made clear they are in love when the bullying is so bad that the lead girl almost died and had to shave her head because her bully’s cut off her hair, ripped off her clothes and filmed it. The lead guy was arrested with a group of friends because they were “identified “ as rapist” it was never known who the real rapist was. So as soon as the lead male character was released from jail and found out the girl was harassed you can see how much he is in love with her. We get to see even more how much they are in love when the girls bully shows up dead at a construction site. We end up finding up that the lead girl was so fed up with her bullying constantly bothering her she ended up pushing her down the stairs. The lead female tells the guy and he helps her get rid of the body so they thought and hatched a plan what to do if the body shows up. They do both end up in jail but it was temporary because the lead girl was a victim and the cops had multiple documented evidence either taken by the bullies or people’s confessions. They also let the guy go because all he was doing was protecting someone who was being constantly harassed on a daily basis. So during their time in jail the people in China demanded change in how schools treat bullying on and off campus. When the lead female gets out of jail she becomes an English teacher and she helps out future kids with being bullied and she still has her potential love interest/male friend still following her around and they both seem really happy especially because they got out of the gutter sort of speak. I wish they did explain what the guy was up to, like if he went back to school or has a job. Also if they ended up together or remained close friends especially because he was still following her like he did all those years ago to protect her.
