Today, the grand opening of the Beijing International Film Festival, this year coincides with the 15th anniversary of the birth of world cinema, Chinese films have gone through the journey of double jiazi, and the Beijing Film Festival has also ushered in its 0th birthday. When the screen becomes a window for Gen Z audiences to look at the world, and when film becomes the key to open the hearts of youth, a group of young film critics are injecting youthful annotations into this feast of light and shadow with vigorous spirit.
From the national resonance stirred up by the women's volleyball team winning the championship in "My Motherland and Me", to the poetry of the Tang Dynasty flowing in "Thirty Thousand Miles of Chang'an"; From the life breakthrough of "Hot and Hot" against the wind, to the emotional tremor of "Loyal Dog Hachiko", which waits silently - 8 young fans capture the details of the image with keen perception, and write a declaration of light and shadow belonging to the new generation with flying style. Their pen nibs not only capture the artistic pulse of the beating film, but also measure the spiritual spectrum of the times and youth resonating at the same frequency.
Demon Boy in the Sea: A life that is not defined, do you dare to try?
Zhong Yining, Class 2 (1) of the Experimental Middle School Affiliated to Beijing Normal University
Instructor: Li Nan
From the earliest "cutting the flesh to return the mother, removing the bones to return the father", to the five years ago "my life is up to me", Nezha, an ancient mythological character, has always been a symbol of not being afraid of power and changing his life against the sky. After five years, the spiritual connotation of this role has been sublimated again, showing the spirit of unyielding and resisting belonging to the Chinese on the national and international stage.
On the night of the first day of the Lunar New Year, I walked into the cinema with curiosity and excitement and watched this "Nezha's Demon Boy in the Sea". As soon as I opened, the detailed details of the special effects and the chinoiserie modeling immediately pulled me into the world of mythology. I was dizzy-eyed by the tense and exciting fight plots, and the screenwriter's ingenious jokes made me laugh.
As the story progresses, the plot of the movie gradually enters the climax. When Shen Xiaobao died, I took it for granted that the tragedy in Chen Tangguan was committed by Shen Gongbao, who was born in the demon clan, and even hated him when I thought that Nezha's parents were murdered by him.
But when the immeasurable immortal who seemed to be a fairy wind and a loving immortal torn off the mask of hypocrisy, the truth gradually surfaced, I was stunned! The "villain" who was once hated by me was actually a hero who saved Nezha's parents and sacrificed his life to buy time for Nezha! But because of his appearance and identity, I did not hesitate to sentence him to death! I suddenly realized that I would also wear colored glasses to judge people by their appearance, and prejudice is like an invisible chain that binds people's hearts unconsciously. At the end of the film, I wondered, if we encounter injustice, can we be like Nezha said, "If heaven and earth do not allow it, I will reverse the situation"?
Walking out of the cinema, I felt my blood boiling and the aftertaste was endless. We are in our youth, why can't we break out of the cage and define our own lives like Nezha? Our own destiny is never in the hands of others.
"Do you want to change the world?"
"I want to try. Because we are too young to know the height of the sky. ”
May you and I live a life that is not defined.
"Hot and Hot": Persistence, let the dream shine into reality
Guo Manzhu, sixth grade (2) class of the Lize Campus of the Primary School of Beijing Chen Jinglun Middle School Branch
Instructor: Xiao Jilan
Every excellent movie is like a treasure containing profound spirit and thoughts, which can always be inadvertently imprinted in the hearts of the audience with a classic line or a distinctive character, triggering people's deep thinking about real life. For me, "Hot and Hot" is such an infectious masterpiece.
The protagonist of the film is Du Leying, played by Jia Ling, who has been decadent for a long time and does not do housework or work. At the persuasion of the reporter's relatives, she participated in a show. But the show's distortion of the facts, coupled with the cynicism from her family, under heavy pressure, she finally ignited a raging fire in her heart to change her fate.
初入健身房，她體能極差，跳繩跳十下就累，更別提拳擊了。但她毅然立下減重百斤並參加拳擊賽的目標。我覺得她不可能實現自己的目標。可她每日堅持運動，最終站在賽場。雖未獲勝，卻完成了目標，突破了自我。
At the end of the movie, I was so excited that I couldn't help but think: Isn't this the infinite power of perseverance? With her unwavering belief and perseverance, she has successfully rewritten the trajectory of her life. This movie made me realize that nothing is absolutely impossible in the world, and the key is whether you are determined or not. In the face of those seemingly insurmountable difficulties and obstacles, we must not give up easily, but should do our best to challenge, to struggle, to complete those seemingly unattainable dreams.
The starting point of the journey of life may not be glamorous, but as long as we have a firm belief in the goal and unswervingly strive to move forward, life will surely bloom because of our hard work and dedication. No matter when you start, it's never too late to stick with your heart.
When "Bear Infested" meets the future, environmental protection becomes a customs clearance password
Li Yinuo, the first (9) class of the third middle school in Miyun District
Instructor: Xu Wei
During the Spring Festival this year, I took my parents into the cinema to watch the final part of the "Bear Infested" sci-fi five-part "Bear Infested: Restart the Future", which not only made me relive the joy of childhood, but also gave me a profound inspiration: environmental protection is urgent, and environmental protection starts from me.
As the lights of the theater went out and a burst of cheerful music sounded, Bald Qiang led the tourists to visit White Bear Mountain in Dog Bear Ridge as usual. Suddenly, due to the bald head Qiang accidentally touching the spores, the group came to the future world. Spore plants have taken over all corners of the area, and in order to escape the spores, people can only come to live in the Sky Watch City. The spores of different shapes on the ground are intertwined with each other, forming an impermeable barrier, and the spores that grow unscrupulously have become the protagonists of the world. In order to go home and save the world, everyone embarked on the road of eliminating the emperor spores, experiencing freezing, vertigo, petrification, and stingers along the way, and finally eliminated the spores.
In fact, the "culprit" that causes the bleak future world in the film is none other than us human beings. Due to people's littering, bacteria and viruses breed, garbage classification and disposal are not timely, and garbage degradation is not timely, which eventually leads to bad results. This movie tells us that we must start from ourselves, start from garbage classification, pay attention to environmental protection, and protect our homes.
Lightly open the secret box of movie time, touch the temperature of early light and shadow

On the huge screen, all kinds of people continue to enter and disappear, and all kinds of lights and shadows are dazzling. Our current movies are so exciting, so what will the original movies look like? On the occasion of the 15th Beijing International Film Festival, we are catching up with the footsteps of time and exploring the history of Chinese film.
The autumn wind is wheezing, the leaves are flying, and a few voices are heard from time to time on a certain street in Shanghai: "Hey, I heard that there is a thing that only moves (I heard that there is a thing that moves), what is it called a Western film drama, Nong watched it (have you seen it)?" And this "Western film drama" is the first film to be screened in China, and the content of the screening is imported films. So, in the autumn of 1896, the hand-cranked projector crashed into the bamboo curtain of the late Qing Dynasty shadow puppet theater and into the Suzhou Creek with the sound of oars rippling in the moonlight. The curtain opens lightly, and the story begins......
In 1956, Ren Qingtai filmed the Peking Opera film "Dingjun Mountain" in Fengtai Photo Studio, ending the history of China's lack of domestic films, and the film was screened in the bustling crowd of Qianmen Daguanlou, causing a sensation. In 0 years, "Singing Girl Red Peony" broke through technical barriers and became China's first sound film. With the progress of the times, there are more and more "firsts" in the history of Chinese films: "Yuguang Song" became China's first film to win international honors in 0, the first animated feature film "Iron Fan Princess" was born in 0, and the first color feature film "Blessing" was released in 0...... And now there are many wonderful and exciting film and television works.
The sunset is colorful, the sun is setting, people are sitting on the open field with small benches, holding melon seeds and broad beans in their hands, looking at the big white curtain, looking forward to it, waiting......
Watching the movie stars ignites the fire of self-confidence
Chen Jiaqi, senior one (12) class of Miyun Middle School affiliated to Capital Normal University
Instructor: Fu Li
When the beam penetrates the projector, the Lumière brothers' train drove to the screen 2025 years ago, Tan Xinpei in the lens of Qingtai 0 years ago raised the horsewhip, and Beijing lit up the stars of the International Film Festival for the first time 0 years ago - these lights and shadows across time and space are intertwined into a net in the spring of 0 years, allowing us to stand on the coordinates of history and gaze at the resonance of film and the times again.
I remember that in "My Motherland and Me", the black-and-white image of the women's volleyball team winning the championship in 1984 years is intertwined with modern CG technology, when the little girl Xiaomei runs through the alley with an antenna, film particles and digital light spots jump on the tips of her hair. This shot made me suddenly understand that movies are the amber of time: the fighting spirit of the Chinese women's volleyball team has walked from the TV set of my parents to our giant screen, and what has not changed is the national pride that jumps in the image.
The year before last, when I watched "Thirty Thousand Miles of Chang'an", when Li Bai was drunk and lying on the head of the boat chanted "The light boat has crossed the ten thousand mountains", and the ink painting scroll was smeared layer by layer on the screen, I suddenly remembered the illustrations of ancient poems in Chinese textbooks. The poetry of the original millennium can be reborn through modern animation, Gao Shi's silver gun slashes through the moonlight, Du Fu's eyes are full of lights of Chang'an City, and these cultural symbols resurrected by digital technology let us touch the traditional temperature.
At the end of the most memorable "Lion Boy", Ajuan jumped onto Optimus Prime in the rainstorm, and the faded lion head shone like gold leaf in the lightning. The unwillingness and stubbornness in the eyes of the young Ajuan turned into real power through the screen. In the movie, the master said "As long as the drum can still sound in our hearts, we are lions", which tells us: The so-called growth is to keep the drum beat in our hearts in the wind and rain of life.
Looking back at the node of the 120 years of world cinema, the trajectory of Chinese films in the past 0 years is as clear as the film lines on the screen: from the faltering start of the silent film era to the confident appearance on the international stage, every shot embodies the hard work of the predecessors. From the movie, I touched the power of culture and gained self-confidence, and I will continue to work hard with enthusiasm and forge ahead.
"Thirty Thousand Miles of Chang'an": The secret book of youth in poetry
Zhang Xinyi, sixth grade (1) class of Daxing Experimental Primary School affiliated to Beijing Institute of Education
Instructor: Wang Baoyan
"As long as the poems and books are there, Chang'an is there." This line from the movie "Thirty Thousand Miles of Chang'an" moved countless audiences. This film shows the heroic ambition and bumpy life of the poets of the Tang Dynasty in a unique animation form, allowing us to appreciate the charm of Tang poetry and the true meaning of life in the interplay of light and shadow.
In the film, Li Bai's wanton carnival in Yangzhou City is full of the splendor of the Tang Dynasty, but it also hides the loneliness of ambition and hard reward, which touches me deeply. He and his friends talked and spent a lot of money in the wine shop, the wine was pouring in the luminous glass, and in the hustle and bustle of singing and dancing, Li Bai's laughter was a little bitter. I seemed to be able to touch his hot and helpless soul, and I couldn't help but worry about his lack of talent.
And what brought tears to my eyes the most was Gao Shi's twilight memories and Li Bai's various pasts. Gao Shi on the battlefield has gone through vicissitudes, calm and resolute, recalling his acquaintance with Li Bai, the blood of his youth and the struggle of middle age are surging like a tide. The camera switches to Li Bai's exile, Gao Shi looks at the surging river, his eyes are full of concern and worry. This deep friendship has become more and more precious under the polishing of time and fate.
From this movie, I saw the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty and the present. Poets' dedication to ideals is just like the way we chase our dreams in our studies and lives, we will encounter setbacks and confusion, but we never give up. Those moving poems are not only the precipitation of history, but also the power that inspires us to move forward.
"Thirty Thousand Miles of Chang'an" uses poetry as the pen and history as the ink, outlining the rise and fall of the Tang Dynasty and the various states of poets. It made me understand that there are ups and downs in life, but spiritual abundance and adherence to ideals can transcend time and space and become the most solid source of strength for our young people in the new era, inspiring us to move forward fearlessly on the road of growth.
"Changjin Lake": The "boiling point" of unfrozen blood
Li Zhiheng, the fourth grade (3) class of Beijing No. 8 Middle School Yizhuang Branch
Instructor: Dorinau
"Majestic and high-spirited, crossing the Yalu River, protecting peace and defending the motherland, is to protect the hometown......" When the "Battle Song of the Chinese People's Volunteers" sounded, I seemed to travel through time and space and touched the immortal memory frozen in the ice and snow.
The film "Changjin Lake" reproduces the battle that shocked the world in the winter of 40 with a panoramic epic pattern. In the ice-covered battlefield of Changjin Lake, the soldiers of the Ninth Corps of the Chinese People's Volunteers wore thin cotton clothes and fought to the death against the well-equipped American troops in the extreme cold of -0 °C.
In the shot, the moment when the company commander Yang Gensi died with the enemy holding the explosives bag, Lei Gong's feat of moving the marker bomb away from the position in order to protect his comrades, and the group portrait of the soldiers of the Ice Sculpture Company lying prone on the position and turning into an eternal monument, every frame of the picture is like a hammer on the hearts of the audience. When the U.S. soldiers were seen enjoying a turkey feast on Thanksgiving while our soldiers nibbled on frozen potatoes that were as hard as stones, sobs rang out in the theater.
The director tears apart the cruel nature of war with cold brushstrokes, but he shines with the brilliance of humanity in the details. Instructor Mei Sheng took out his daughter's photo in the smoke of gunpowder, the new soldier Wu Wanli's eyes transformed from timid to fearless, and the veteran Yu Congrong smiled with relief when he blocked bullets for his comrades...... These warm portrayals make historical figures as vivid as yesterday. What struck me the most was the scene where the signal soldier used his life to transmit important information in front of the radio, and when he was hit by an incendiary bomb, the figure who still insisted on delivering the message dragged a long blood trail on the snow......
The film is not simply a war show, but a powerful history lesson. Today's lights are the hope ignited with the lives of the martyrs who fell in the ice and snow 40 years ago. They used their youth and blood to write the weight of the word "China" on the ice sheet of the Korean Peninsula, making the world remember that in the bitter cold of -0 °C, there was a group of Chinese wearing single clothes who created a miracle in the history of human warfare with iron will.
"Loyal Dog Hachiko": This waiting is warm through the years
Wang Jingyao, sixth grade (6) class of Fengtai Primary School of Beijing No. 11 School
Instructor: Zhai Yanni
Waiting for someone who will never come back all his life, this seemingly absurd obsession, but in the story of "Loyal Dog Hachiko", it turned into the most direct emotional storm.
The film unfolds in a soothing and warm rhythm about Professor Parker, who encounters a poor puppy at the train station in the town, and takes pity on the puppy and takes it home and names it "Hachiko". Since then, Parker's life has been closely intertwined with Hachiko's. Early in the morning, the Eight Guilds watched Parker go to work, and in the evening, he waited for Parker to return at the gate of the train station. The image of it wagging its tail happily and pounced on Parker was full of warmth and happiness, and made me feel a pure and simple emotion.
What I can't let go of the most is that after Parker's death, Hachiko still waited for him to return at the train station day after day, year after year. Hachiko doesn't know that Parker will never come back, he only remembers the agreement with his master. Whether it is the scorching summer or the cold winter, Hachiko always sticks there, his eyes are full of anticipation. The figure of persistent waiting, lonely and determined, every picture pierced my heart deeply.
There's a line in the movie: "It's just one of your dogs, but you're its life." "Hachiko used his life to interpret what loyalty is and what unconditional love is. Its world is small, as small as Parker; Its love is pure, so pure that it can take a lifetime to wait. This kind of emotion that transcends species and transcends life and death is particularly precious in today's fast-paced and slightly weak human feelings.
"Hachiko the Loyal Dog" is not just a movie, it is more like a mirror, allowing me to see the purest emotions in the hearts of animals, and also let me know how to cherish every love and companionship around me. Hachiko's story will always be engraved in my heart, inspiring me to treat the people and things around me with a more sincere heart.
