Chen Kaige's best film, "King of Children", is seriously underestimated.
The film tells the story of educated youth going to the countryside. In 1966, students stopped classes to make revolution, and the Red Guard organization emerged.
The film takes us into the spiritual world of educated youth who went to the countryside with an observer's attitude, without any subjective evaluation, and shows the absurdity of education during the Cultural Revolution.
Education bound by rules and regulations has long lost the most authentic and natural learning attitude. This is what Chen Kaige wants to express through the image of Lao Ganer.
The desire to fight against the times and break through the cage was eventually extinguished bit by bit, and the fate of the individual was eventually swept away in the torrent of history.
Back to today, in some aspects, similar times and fates seem to be happening again, but even so, each individual is still a person who is looking for light in the cracks.
