前方让让!零零后来了!
“没有一个孩子可以代表一代人,但每个孩子都有一代人的DNA。”
——导演张同道
"One child cannot represent his or her entire age group, but every child has inherited some features from his or her generation."
If you were born in 2000 or sometime after it, then something akin to your life's story is going to hit big screens across China on Sept 3.
不,更真实。《少年时代》是让一个现实中成长的孩子连续12年演绎一个完全虚构的成长故事。而纪录片《零零后》则是将摄影机静静地架在两个主人公身旁,看他们“放肆成长”。
Sometime in 2006, Zhang Tongdao began recording the lives of a dozen children born after 2000 from kindergarten. It ultimately zeroed in on the lives of two characters in the film, a boy named Chi Yiyang and a girl named Rourou. Both were born in 2001 and went to the same kindergarten.
Not unexpectedly, "growth" as we children of this millennium know it, too shows up in the 89-minute documentary that delicately compresses 12 years of their growing-up period, from the time they were five till the time they turned 17.
预告片↓↓
男孩的“英雄梦”
男孩池亦洋,从小就霸气外露,影片第一个镜头就是他拿着抢来的棍子,披着红披风,“大闹”幼儿园。
Chi was the epitome of the rebellious youth. He wanted to be a hero from a very young age and was very naughty.
抢东西,欺负人,霸道倔强......毫不夸张地说,眼前纪录片里的池亦洋跟动画片里的“混世小魔王”哪吒,所差无几。
但没有人知道,“小魔王”的内心里藏着一个“英雄梦”。
He was always hitting other kids. So parents of other kids in the kindergarten asked the kindergarten owner, Li Yueer, to expel him.
But Li Yueer stood by Chi.
"I think Chi is a good role model for other boys," she said.
不过,这并不意味着纵容。“如何既保持池亦洋身上那种男性的阳刚之美,同时让他自我约束不逾矩”,这成为幼儿园大李老师每天都要面对的问题。
很快,池亦洋的故事达到了另一个小高潮。幼儿园里再起争执,又有池亦洋,让人意外的是,他没有拿起棍棒,他竟学着老师的模样成了调解伙伴之间矛盾的“孩子王”。
The challenge lay in making Chi disciplined and good-mannered.
The documentary's director, Zhang Tongdao, explained why he wanted to show the movie to a nationwide audience. "I hoped that after watching it,people would understand the most important factors that can change a child in a 12-year growing period."
中学阶段,池亦洋接触到橄榄球。脑力配合体力,池亦洋在橄榄球的高强度对抗性中找到了自己的位置。
Years later, rugby brought in that stability to Chi's life.
2016年暑假,池亦洋入选国家队,代表中国出征世界橄榄球青年锦标赛,开幕式上他庄严地唱起《义勇军进行曲》,热血、激昂。
他告诉《零零后》执行导演喻溟:“现在我觉得保护别人也是一种英雄。”
"I now feel that those who protect others are heroes, too," a more matured Chi later told Yu Ming, executive director of the documentary.
"I used to be the forward on the football field, but I’m now a baseliner and must protect my team."
女孩柔柔跟男孩池亦洋似乎是互为镜像的两种成长。他们在同一所幼儿园里长大,性格截然不同,境遇也正好相反。
Though they went to the same kindergarten, they had very different lives.
她被妈妈打扮得像小公主一样,是一个浪漫且极具想象力的孩子。就是迪士尼里的公主也不意味着成长可以一帆风顺。在幼儿园里,柔柔被欺负、甚至是孤立。
Rourou's mother always dressed her up like a princess. And like other princesses in Disney stories, she, too, experiences difficulties while growing up. She was isolated by her friends.
随着真实记录的故事推进,小公主又坠入了“数学”的魔咒。面对老师和父亲如唐僧般的习题讲解,柔柔一脸茫然,然后开始抹泪。
She encountered difficulties learning mathematics and shed tears when learning them.
“这些数学公式就像森林里的毒蛇。”
Math sums are like poisonous snakes in the forest.
要成绩还是留天性;选当下还是等未来?柔柔家爹妈唇枪舌战,各执一词。
后来,柔柔被送到了美国。14岁的年纪,一个人住进有文化差异的寄宿家庭。有国内扎实的基础教育做支撑,学业方面她非常出类拔萃。
但“人生的功课”再次压向了柔柔,她一再被寄宿家庭要求搬离。
因为生活上的矛盾,寄宿家庭的妈妈粗鲁地要求她当晚就离开。
"She has to get out tonight!I don't want to see her anymore. "
柔柔今年升入大学,她给自己选的专业是幼儿教育。她说:“我现在想成为一个可以帮助到其他人的一个人,可以给社会带来价值的一个人。”
我们的零零后
池亦洋和柔柔是中国加入WTO后出生、成长的一代人。他们在我们眼前慢慢长大,这个变化过程有时细微得几乎难以察觉,有时却让人震撼不已。
And they are growing up in an era that witnessed China's rapid economic development.
在60后导演张同道看来,凭借年龄的优势,居高临下地俯视这一代新生力量是多么的野蛮傲慢。他们比我们想象中要强很多。
Watch the documentary, then you will realize how foolish it is to look down upon the coming generation merely because we, at older ages, look more experienced. They are much more stronger than we imagined.
“观世界而后有世界观。”12年跟踪拍摄他们的成长经历,张同道表示,“零零后是国际化新一代。”“他们了解世界,他们有国际的观点,有强大的身体,有开放的脑袋。”
