Life in the Bronx is full of challenges; the life of a tramp in the Bronx is even more perilous.

Before deciding to experience life in the Bronx as a homeless man, Renly actually considered other options.

One is to follow the setting of the "detached" male protagonist and use the school as an experience place. Lan Li does not need to be a teacher, but only needs to enter the school and observe the students as a bystander. This is enough; the other is Moving to the Bronx to live for a period of time, not only the two weeks before the shooting, but also the entire subsequent shooting, which is truly integrated into the daily routine of the entire area.

Considering that Henry was not a tramp, but an authentic teacher. Both of these programs are closer to the role, relatively safer, and of course, most importantly, simpler.

However, this time it was different.

Lan Li is not experiencing the life of a character, nor is it a process of trying to figure out the role by method or experience; what Lan Li needs is to observe as a bystander and integrate into the Bronx as an ordinary person. From this perspective, life needs to be separated from Henry’s role itself, from the desperate and painful state of the role, and feel the living conditions of local residents in a more objective, subjective, vivid and close way. Especially teenagers.

This is one. In addition, there is a more important thing that needs to be taken into consideration.

"Speed ​​and Excitement/Love 5" is being released in full swing. It is still the best-performing work at the box office so far in the summer. The movie posters are all over the streets and alleys. There are still blue gifts hanging at the entrance of the cinema next door. The single-person poster, appearing in the original appearance of "Len Li-Hall", will more or less attract some attention. If it causes riots, it will deviate even more from the original intention, but disrupt the pace of life of the residents and cause unnecessary trouble.

Although Lan Li is not yet a top star like Tom Cruise, he is not an unknown person anymore.

After comprehensive consideration, Lan Li still chose the homeless lifestyle. He knows the difficulties and challenges he is about to face, and also knows the consequences and impact of his choice, but after experiencing the uproar of the past period of time, surrounded by the spotlight of the media, Lan Li is full of desire for performance, and his mind renews It evoked everything that the "anti-cancer me" experienced during the filming, and that kind of hunger/thirst drove Lan Li to rush into the preparations for "transcendence".

This excitement and anticipation flowing in the blood is burning.

Even with the psychological preparation, even with the boundless expectations, the real life of the Bronx is far beyond imagination, giving Lan Li a heavy blow.

On the night five days ago, he managed to occupy a position at McDonald’s, curled up on the sofa by the window, and fell asleep, but in the middle of the night he was awakened by a fragmented sound, looking at the dark blue area outside the window. The ruined scene, looking for the source of the sound in a daze.

Then, he saw the gunfire in the night, like a firework, but it didn't look gorgeous at all, it was just a fist-sized flower, fleeting.

The sound was different from what I heard in the movie. It was dull like a heavy hammer. Even a random "bangbang" sound did not make the slightest wave. It was as if a huge rock sinking into the sea, and it was suppressed at all. It's not like a shooting that can take a fragile life.

Not mighty or magnificent.

The sound rang indiscriminately for a while, and then fell silent, like a steamer on the surface of the sea in the middle of the night. Shui Pozencen, but the night is quiet. Everyone knows that something has happened, but the peace in front of them can't see any waves, and they just waited nervously.

One minute, five minutes, the passage of time seemed to lose its meaning, and then I saw two black men running hurriedly, covered in blood, and large swaths of plasma on their cheeks, hands, and clothes. They fled like a bereavement dog. . The figure just passed by the door of McDonald's quickly, and instantly disappeared into the dense night, as if it had never appeared before. But Lan Li knew that he had no dizziness.

That night ended just like that, with some anticlimactic meaning; but the next day, Lan Li saw the news, "There was a gang fight in the Bronx. Seven people died and 14 others were injured." Until this time, Lan Li I really understood the Bronx.

In this area, in an area that seems to have nothing to do with Manhattan, no one cares about the future, no one cares about dreams, no one cares about freedom, and no one cares about the meaning of life. Survival is their most important priority. task. It is not only the warmth of the night, not only the fullness of the next meal, but also a real threat to life.

After experiencing all this, looking at the street girl just now, life seemed to become gentle in an instant. The gentleness hidden in the roughness and cruelty revealed a biting coldness and indifference.

Lan Li can't imagine what life is like in such an environment, and even more can't imagine what it's like to grow up in such an environment. Whenever hope arises, it is extinguished, suppressed, and even hope has never existed. Those fresh and young souls have been riddled with holes and experienced vicissitudes of life, even more than two lives. The blue gift of a person needs to go further.

It's just that they didn't settle down after thousands of trials, but before they had time to work hard, before they had time to look forward to, they were already dead. It is a group of children who cannot be called "men and women". It is a group of teenagers who have not yet seen the full picture of the world. It is a group of blind people who do not have the ability to judge themselves. The immature soul to the exit.

In the United States, the crime rate of blacks has always remained high. As a result, the white middle class began to accuse blacks of lack of education, lack of discipline, and lack of organization. This has also led to a further increase in the rate of racial discrimination and even aggravated the white police/survey’s handling of blacks. The chance of shooting at the time of the case.

In fact, this is a complex and serious social issue, which has implications for many aspects including economy, education, culture, and historical inheritance. When society refuses to give more tolerance, the growth environment of those black teenagers cannot be changed, and a vicious circle is formed, resulting in a high crime rate. The Bronx is a typical representative.

Among them, the lack of education is undoubtedly one of the important links. With the lack of family education, the prevarication of school education, and the neglect of social education, the younger generation of blacks is facing rounds of confusion and confusion. It's not just black people of African descent, the regional gap caused by the gap between the rich and the poor, the Latinos, Italians, Asians, etc., living in the Bronx.

In the "detachment" script, the true core theme is not race. Tony and Carl enriched the racial elements of the students, including Asian, Latino, and African-American roles, but focused on white people. The essential meaning is to tell about the profound impact of the gap between the rich and the poor and the lack of education on the younger generation and the profound impact on society.

It can even be understood that the schools created by the script and the messages conveyed by the characters are enlightenments to the current state of education in the United States.

Lan Li was somewhat fortunate. Fortunately, he had chosen to be a tramp and came into contact with a real Bronx, but also a precarious and dangerous Bronx. The urgency and fear of hanging the head on the waistband, the step-by-step, cautious life posture, presents the most essential things.

He bundled his clothes casually, wrapped the camera tightly, and then dropped it into a burlap bag next to him carelessly, packed up and stood up, and walked towards the crossroad, diagonally across the corner of the street. Two or three young women began to appear one after another.

Women, the description of this term is not accurate, because they are girls. She was even younger than the girl who was blackmailing just now. They seem to be only twelve or three years old, and may have just graduated from elementary school.

But at this time they are dressed up with heavy make-up, wearing colorful wigs, wearing leopard print, checkered suspenders, matching red, lemon yellow shorts, and black net stockings underneath, matching a pair of wind dust Full rivet booties.

The immature faces were dressed with poor makeup, and then they cheerfully accused each other of the bad makeup, took out the cotton pad, tried to wipe off the heavy makeup, and then repainted.

Lan Li knows that they are all /prostitutes. Because they are under age, they cannot go to fixed places such as bars or billiards courts to find customers. They can only hang around on the streets, or take the bus, looking for customers worthy of their hands, or customers interested in them~www.novelhall .com~ The price of a night is not fixed at all, it may be fifty dollars, it may be a sandwich, it may be a kick and punch.

Looking at them, Lan Li's eyes flashed a little unbearable. He is not a saint, nor is he Jesus, but the moral bottom line is burning in his stomach.

"Why, are you interested?" An enchanting voice came from my ear, and when I turned my head, I could see a young girl. With wheat-colored skin and waterfall-like black hair, he should look Latino, about fourteen years old, and the face hidden under the heavy makeup looks unrealistic.

The dark/ambiguous eyes are stalking/leading Lan Li. If this is not obvious enough, her right hand is feeling Lan Li's arm seemingly, which is direct enough.

Lan Li couldn't help but feel ridiculous, how desperate she was, she found the tramp. Of course, Lan Li also knows that many homeless people actually have a little family background, and it's okay to have a prostitute.

"Are you sure that the foundation for your left eye is thick enough?" Lan Li said with disdain, tearing his hoarse voice. Hidden under the foundation is a bruise. After speaking, Lan Li ignored the little girl, dragged her sackcloth and crossed the zebra crossing under the traffic lights.
