How to evaluate the film Fanghua directed by Xiaogang Feng?

Fanghua should be a popular and highly rated literary youth film in previous years. When the film was released, I was also in what I thought was the heyday of my youth. After nearly four years, I look back at this movie, not because I want to recall whose youth, nor because I want to appreciate whose youth, but because I watch this movie with a "left" thinking. Generally speaking, Fanghua is like a scarred literary work, engraved with the scars of nihilism; Like a hazy and hesitant poem, it blurs the ideological orientation.

Judging from the characterization and the development of the film plot, the appearance and experience of the two protagonists in the film, one is to belittle collectivism, and the other is to praise heroism. It is not difficult to find that Xiaogang Feng often creates contradictions and contrasts by shaping the negative images of some members of the art troupe, and constantly highlights the positive and caring image of He Xiaoping who dares to love and hate. It seems that in that era when collectivism was emphasized, cadres' children should be aggressive, treat newcomers with dignity, and engage in intrigue within the art troupe.
