There's no use in crying over misfortune. Shit happens, and people get over it. That's how life goes, right?
Fuck my reactions.
They're kids in a movie. They have fucked up lives.
You don't even know if it's reflective of typical HK society. (but all the adults who've been there elude to it. LMF made it their point to cry out against this lost, urban hell)
And as fucked up their lives are, it's still not comparable to the breathing skin and bones that suffer needlessly deprived lives in the midst of luxury. It's not comparable to children sold into slavery for back-breaking work before they are even 6 years old. No, it's not any of that.
but... because they are so similar, with the same city environment, the same possibilities as me...
it's a fuckin' made up movie.
A little boy who's hand is sliced off from a gang fight calls out for his mom. Three minutes before, a twenty year old wanted to avenge his hospitalized/dead friends that the kid's group had caused. That was until a gang fight happened right outside of the convenient store. No 911, no ambulance. Just cigarettes.
A high school boy who's parents never cared for him. A drug addict. He was better off dead.
But his friends could have saved him. Wasn't he worth saving? Shouldn't he have a chance at life? Isn't life worth living? His friend pulled the plug.
Another high school boy who wanted to live in an apartment with his girlfriend. Within five years, he said. He bounced right back from the cellphone video accidentally leaked. That girl's life was ruined; she committed suicide on the new year. He went back to his girlfriend and was scared to see her when she got pregnant. In the end, he chose her over his friends. Does that even say anything?
No one speaks to him. He fears his father. Sent to a psychologist. He eats the candy from mourning, but how can death be sweet? These lives so young. Wasting his future away.
What becomes of these kids, forced into this shit so fast?
No time to breathe, no time to think. Just torment. Mental torment.
