Orz Boyz

      Movies are the epitomes of our daily life, great imagination, history or societies because they can show people how human beings live, think, do or function in our societies. Furthermore, movies can vividly present the specific background, age, or some events happened in the past time so that people watching them can experience the feelings and know what exactly happened, like Orz boyz. The plot, background and the characters in this movie present many ideas that the director want to express.

     The plot of this movie is the story between two children whose names are No.1 and No.2. The two boys were very naughty and did plenty of bad things at school such as cheating their classmates of their money or didn’t follow the teacher’s instruction. No.1 and No.2 were good friends when they were little kids and there were many extraordinary notions and ideas in their minds. For instance, they believed that the huge electric fan could bring them to the different world where all the people would become adults and didn't have to do any homework. Moreover, they also believed that the statue at the school would move at night. They played together, took care of each other, and saved money together to carry out their dreams. The second main part of this movie is about the courage of No.1 and No.2. They cherished the friendship and both of them tried their best to protect this relationship in their own ways. Therefore, they learned how to sacrifice and how important their friendship is for each other. No.1 tried to rob the robot which No.2 liked very much for No.2 so as to make him happy and win No.2's forgiveness. However, No.2 went to the theme park to carry out No.1's dream after No.1's leaving. Orz boyz is the epitome of their childhood, the presentation of their friendship and the proof of their courage.

     This story happened in a typical town in Taiwan where were full of many friendly old people and the levels of education among them were not very high. Therefore, the way that No.2's grandmother taught him was according to her own experience. If the child did anything wrong or refused to obey the commands, he should be punished. The most important thing is No.2 had not lived with his parents since he was a little child and he saw how his uncle left his cousin to his grandmother just like the way his parents left him. Under all these backgrounds and conditions, he had to endure and learn more about the adult world. On the other hand, No.1 lived with his father who suffered from mental disorder. Therefore, No.1 had to take care of his father and himself. No.1 loved his father even though his father had mental problems. For children, that's a naive age which is full of hope and the only thing they have to care is whether they can get what they want. For example, No.2 would do everything No.1 asked him to because of the key ring such as a silly dance or imitating the dog's bark. The background of this movie show people where they grow up, how they grow up and why they always insisted on what they want to do.

     No.1 and No.2 are the main characters in this movie and both of them have their own personalities; No.1 is optimistic, brave, and smart and No.2 is stubborn, naive, and naughty. No.1 was the leader among them and he would tell No.2 many extraordinary things like the different world where people would all become adults and didn't have to do homework anymore. However, No.2 believed everything No.1 said and followed him to do everything. They are just like a person with his shadow. No.1 is the person and No.2 is the shadow. For most of the time, they do everything together unless it is dark or the person walk to the place where is under the shadow and all these conditions are just like the little quarrels between them. They have the courage and the perseverance to do whatever they want. They collected cans to exchange for money so they could go to the theme park together. In this movie, they both reveal the truest part of children, the funniest part of children's notions, and the greatest part of childhood.

     This is an interesting movie no matter the characters, main plot, or the backgrounds. This movie records their childhood and also reminds people of their own childhood when they watch this movie. Many dialogues in this movie are really funny and can make people laugh. Through the combination of all these, this movie is presented in a funny, touching and inspiring way. After seeing this movie, I think I'd better slow down and let the courage of my childhood catches up me so that I can achieve my goal.
