good movie, but not too logical
7 February 2003
This could be a regular TV movie, instead of an actual theater movie. It does not have any beautiful scenes. A tiny TV screen would be sufficient enough to show the drama.

Having said that, the story is not logical. Those several high school students did not have any problems of beating the country boy several times without any interference of the police officers or adults. Beijing is a big busy city. How could they chase him on the bicycles without bumping into any cars, pedestrians, etc? And especially the last beating, they just magically showed up in a sort of abandoned skyscraper. I don't think that the country boy would be willing to ride with them all together into that desolate place.

China has made quite a few youth oriented movies about modern teenagers' life. I am surprised that this one has gained so many attentions world wide. Overall, it is a sweet movie to watch.
