A teenage girl who’s very smart is bullied
at school after a girl at school took her
own life.
Now she is being bullied by three girls who
bullied the girl who took her own life.
But then she meets a boy who lives on the
wrong side of the law, and he becomes her
protector.
But she must also prepare for her college
entrance exam, and the question is if her
situation will ruin her future.
Will she handle the pressure with the bullying
and the college entrance exam that is waiting?
Or will it be too much for her to handle?
Better Days is a solid movie which unfortunately
is hindered by the Chinese censorship system.
That’s nothing new.
This would have been a real classic if the
movie hadn’t been tampered with.
I’m sure of that.
The topic is bullying, and how far someone
is willing to go to ruin the future of others
just because they are mentally ill.
It always hurts to see people who don’t
fight back.
They have nothing to lose in my eyes.
Just fight back!
Don’t back down!
We see a system failing, something that’s
happening all over the world.
The special thing about Better Days is the
close bond between the girl who’s bullied
and the teenage boy who becomes her protector.
She has the entire future ahead of her.
He will probably die young or end up in prison
for the rest of his life.
The two leading actors are amazing in their
roles.
We are talking about talents, especially the
young girl who’s played by Dongyu Zhou.
She was born in 1992, but she looks much younger
and she delivers a fantastic role interpretation
that you will always remember.
I felt like I saw a masterpiece until there
were 25 minutes left.
Then you notice a change of tone, and that
the Chinese censorship apparatus had to intervene
so as not to send the wrong message.
I’m so tired of Winnie the Pooh and his
mentally ill goons.
It’s a shame that assholes like Winnie the
Pooh will not disappear soon, so Chinese moviemakers
are allowed to make the movies they want to
without the stupid and insane censorship.
Go fighting Hong Kong and Taiwan!
Never give in to these 
crazy assholes!
But Better Days also have another problem.
The girls who bully the protagonist behave
like they are crazy cartoon characters.
Couldn’t they have toned them down?
They are so crazy, stupid, and evil.
The movie would have been better without these
crazy bitches.
This is a strong and provocative movie that
visually looks good, and it has a fantastic
score.
This would have been my favorite movie of
2019.
But because of an ending that doesn’t feel
right, it will at least be in my top 10 or
maybe top 5.
