"The Young Man in Guling Street" is a four-hour long film that takes place in Guling Street, Taipei. It shocked the world as soon as it debuted at the Tokyo Film Festival in 1991. We have recently compiled 100 youth films in film history and selected the top 10 without hesitation.
Yang Dechang, born in Shanghai on November 6, 1947, later came to Taiwan with his family. His "Guling Street Youth Murder Incident" is considered to be the representative work of Taiwan's "youth film". Today I came to Guling Street and missed this movie master.
One year I went to Lushan to travel and found that the town on the top of the mountain was called Guling Town. Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Mei-ling lived there. I don’t know if this reason is because of this reason, so this street in Taipei is named.
Because of Yang Dechang and "The Murder of a Boy in Guling Street", he wanted to visit Guling Street on the director's birthday.
plot introduction
Before meeting Xiao Ming (Yang Jingyi), Xiao Si (Zhang Zhen) was a typical good boy, the hope of his parents and the pride of his siblings (the family expects him to be admitted to a prestigious university in the future to improve the social status of the whole family). He has a friend who likes rock music who calls himself "Little Elvis (Wang Qizan)". Although the two of them will go to the woods to see people having a tryst, they live a completely different life from many young people around who are engaging in "little parks".
After falling in love with Xiao Ming, Xiao Si felt like he fell into a bottomless abyss and began to be led by various forces from the outside world. The new admirer Honey (Lin Hongming) died suddenly. The father's self-esteem and spirit, who had always respected, were seriously damaged due to an incident. In addition, Xiao Ming, who "deceived and played with" his feelings again and again, Xiao Si, who was full of energy and strong moral sense, finally embarked on the road of crime, hoping to end the root of the incident with his own knife. But what Xiao Si didn't know was that the root cause in his eyes was just a trivial link in this food chain.
Traveling Guling Street
Guling Street used to be many second-hand bookstores. They were prosperous for a while, but there were not many left. Philatelic enthusiasts can come here to find a lot of treasures.
There is actually "Britain Prostitute" starring Elizabeth Taylor in the old bookstore

"The Guling Street Youth Murder Incident" has a lot of night scenes. Director Yang hopes to use natural light as much as possible to truthfully convey the light source of that era.
Giant Stream river has become an advertising term. Paper-made shops and noodle shops are together, life and death, and the years are like a river. I remember a group of young men on Guling Street cross the street.

Easter Egg Night
0 attended the Golden Horse Awards opening night reception at 9 o'clock in the evening. The venue was T.G.I.Friday Restaurant, No. 150 Dunhua North Road, Taipei City. This restaurant is the filming location of the film "Independence Era" directed by Yang Dechang. Within half a day, he actually went to the filming location of Yang Dechang's two films, which is also God's will.
Yang Dechang's "Independence Era" was filmed in this restaurant. It is said that it has been bought by Wang Xiaofei, which is a pity for the impermanence of fate.
