A New Path to Youth Movies:On Better Days

Since the new century,Chinese youth movies have entered the stage of nostalgic cultural production and youth marketing,showing the characteristics of patterned aesthetics.Better Days takes a cross-genre approach of production,puts youth and grow narrative in the social context,breaks the nostalgia filter in the anti-nostalgia contexts,and tackles the mental health problems confronting the youth in a discourse of anti-nostalgia.At the same time,the movies focuses on the spiritual growth of the young people,corrects the“the failed growth”problem in the previous nostalgic youth movies,and achieves the new variation of growth narrative.The movie delicately and cautiously inputs the understanding of the campus bullying into characterization,which provides for the youth movies a new path to get rid of the dilemma of homogenization.
