This is a "respectable" youth road film, the film uses flashbacks. At the beginning of the story, Maik appeared in front of the camera with blood stains and shouted: "Tschick". No one knows the meaning of these two words. Maybe it is a noun or a simple vocabulary.
The male number one Maik is a teenager who dared to hate or love. He loved the beautiful Panhua Tatiana but did not dare to approach for a long time. Just like Maik himself said, "Even if she has nothing to do with the whole thing, the most beautiful girl in the world is not in me. In the story". The depressed heart and youthful restlessness made Maik very uneasy. The arrival of Tschick changed Maik's life and his life trajectory like a catalyst.
Maik gave the present bravely, and the stone in his heart seemed to fall. Regardless of whether Tatyana's opinion of him will change, he has no more concerns in his heart. His father's affair, mother's depression and this indifferent town made Maik determined to embark on an unknown destination with Tschick.
Unlike most road films, the end of "Cheek" is not far away, it is an exploration of the characters' hearts. The roaring man in the high-speed fog, the angry farmer, the walking nobleman, the Friedmans and the scruffy little girl Isha. Growing up is like an adventure, and the two little boys grow up rapidly in the ignorant fight.
Tschick's drunkenness reminds Maik of his mother every day. They all drink for the same purpose, which is self-deception. The "special" of Tschick is also closely related to Russia. Many people are asking, what did Tschick say to the classmate who bullied him? Dialogue with reality Young people in Germany rarely talk about reality, which is significantly different from young people in Russia. Young people in Russia seem to have extraordinary attention to political topics. As long as everyone gathers together to discuss the center, Putin and Stalin will always be the center. They are obviously not satisfied with the current political system and economic level. Many people are reminiscing about the glory of the former Soviet Red Empire. Even in such a remote and inaccessible place in Siberia, in our temporary "canteen", the most eye-catching place on the front wall is actually a red sickle and hammer head flag, which says: Great. Long live the Soviet Republic! So Tschick's brief counterattack can be imagined.
There are many details in the film that portray the differences between the two nations. The new generation of Germans are very independent. If they can solve the problem, they will never ask for help. So when Chekla took Maik to the birthday party, how fierce Maik's resistance was. Cultural differences. Germans don't like to let others help casually. Once they accept it, they acknowledge their disadvantaged position.
In contrast, this movie uses a lot of close-ups, panning the camera, and the inner monologue that makes the whole movie very compact. Of course, there is another crucial character in the film: Isa. Issa is Maik's sexual enlightenment and the third woman to love besides his mother, Tatyana. The appearance of Issa made Maik begin to germinate. At the age of fourteen or five, anyone would meet a woman who thought she could go through her life. We used to call it "first love". Everything is so beautiful, even if it suddenly disappears one day, it will not be possible for a long time. Issa has become accustomed to parting, and the shuttle bus to Prague has pulled them farther and farther. Youth seems to be stranded here, but we all know that for Maik, everything has just begun.
