''Better Days'' it's not simply a movie. It's a very important message, it's a story about the cruel reality we are living in. It's a story about two people who are hoping for better days after suffering so much. It's a story that should be heard and should be understood.
Honestly I came across this movie without any expectations. I started watching it five minutes after I heard about its existance. I avoid the school genre, because, you know, everything is always the same - bullies, bullying, suffering. Why did I decide to watch this movie knowing well about my preferences... I can't really tell. But I made a great decision.
''Better Days'' is a brilliantly-made piece of art. Every scene, ever dialogue, every word have its meaning. It's not a short movie but you never get bored. The directing was unique. You are excited for each scene because you have no idea what will happen. Honestly, I felt so angry watching it. Some scenes were very hard to endure even for me. Both main leads were so amazing, so strong. You could feel their pain just by looking at their face. Zhou Dong Yu and Jackson Yi are very young, but they have so much potential to become great actors in the future.
(I have more things to say but I finished the movie 2 hours ago and I'm still feeling the pain haha + I don't want to spoil anything)
So overall, I do recommend this movie to everyone. It's really a masterpiece and you shouldn't miss it!
