- A teenager dates the popular girl.

Ching Wei is on a trip with the rest of his class. Awkward and ungainly, he's the class clown who entertains his fellow students with his goofiness, and his only real friend is Ling, his partner in the show the class is putting on. But he's also in a secret relationship with one of the most popular girls in the class, Yu, though they pretend they don't hang out.
But when the class puts the students near one another, dynamics begin to shift between everyone. Ching Wei wants to make his romance with Yu public. But the struggle to do so may also reveal the limitations of their affection.
Written and directed by Yu-Wei Chang, this gently observed short drama captures one eventful weekend in a young man's life. The muted naturalism and subdued pacing put the focus on the roiling teenage emotions, and also perfectly captures the struggle of a hidden relationship and the insecurity it engenders.
Ching Wei is locked into a particular role in his class, who always expect him to be goofy and entertaining. He fulfills that role to the hilt, as it gives him his place in the school's social ecosystem, though the jibes about his body and his appearance sting underneath his impassive demeanor. Actor Chien Chung Tseng's performance subtly shows that Ching Wei's heart isn't really into the antics -- he only becomes fully present and engaged when he's concerned with Yu, whether watching her from afar or talking in their limited public interactions.
But as he struggles with his feelings for Yu and the fact that he can't openly express them, viewers see also a more sensitive and vulnerable side come out. The dialogue is sparse in the film, with the student banter functioning more of like a texture capturing the milieu than expressing anything directly.
When Ching Wei does talk with Yu privately and directly, both are awkward and shy. When she is reluctant to make their relationship public, he becomes insecure and needy. He acts out in awkward ways, leading to both self-realization and heartbreak.
With a compassionate eye for what it feels like to be an outsider, body-shamed and limited to a narrow role, FIELD TRIP is both a teenage romance and a coming-of-age story, where an identity broadens or opens up in a new or unexpected way. Though Ching Wei's love brings him pain, judgment and sorrow, he also comes to a clearer understanding of his true friends and, more importantly, who he is. It's hard-won knowledge, but it also gives him an acceptance that ushers in a melancholic peace.
The weird kid seems to have a knack with the ladies like some secret Cassanova! 🕺
Ling gang🤗🤗
It actually reminded me of how I used to act like a fool in school to get some attention and finally no one took me seriously
Lmfao nerd
Me too!!
You guys gotta stop. I can't keep crying on the subway like a loser 😭😭
Ah to be young and In Love. Run kid save yourself.
The only thing im not satisfied is that these videos end so fast,damn I need more of this stuff
Beautiful short film, but I'm trying to figure out if hes still with his girlfriend or he started dating his friend?
same, loved it, but didn’t know what the ending meant
I'm pretty sure he was singing about his friend at the end
Yeah the girl went with wang, the guy he said she should be with, then when he was down it was his friend kneeling over him (obviously caring much for his well being) and he realized he was after the wrong girl!
Props to the filmmakers...I cant exactly put my thing on what made this great, but it kept me engaged from beginning till the end.
Because Iron Man learns from his….
…oh sorry wrong video.
it feels like a fragment but that's what it really is. too fleeting. but the actors and screenplay really capture it, the needed intensity of emotions. storytelling is too tight, and that's what makes it good. sigh.
Can't understand what is actually going on in their emotions... Is it Asia-specific?!
MC: became the class clown, but from the opening shot you can tell he doesn't really want to be (but if you think about it without that label he'd be "nothing"); also annoyed by the popular boy who seems to be going after GF (which he believes would be fixed if they made their relationship public)
Friend: annoyed that MC's so out of it and trying so hard to keep up impressions
GF: wants to keep up her popular impression and/or doesn't like MC anymore and/or is jealous of (female) Friend
I think the scene where he's on the ground best represents it; his friend is the first and only one at his side but he still looks at his gf
Beautiful ! And who says short movies cant/shouldn't have meaningful, conclusive endings? Voila!
No one. It's the writer's choice, whether a story has a meaningful ending or not.
But what about the ending? I don't think there's any conclusion in it. I thought that he's gonna break up with his secret girlfriend, but he didn't.
@@cahidijoyoraharjo7833 Well, there was an actual ending that you seem to think it was anti climactic for you ! 😑different strokes! The fact is we can both agree(I hope) that there was a meaningful ending. Cheers.
@@solace3856 I just don't get what that boy meant by singing that song. Is he going for his best friend (that girl who hangs out with him) or what?
He feLL inLoVe witH his fRieNd.
We love coming back to where we have started. ✨
it took me to the novels of Haruki Murakami.
Which one??
That’s the popular girl? She’s so plain looking. She’s just using him. She has no plains to ever reveal their relationship. She doesn’t care about him. The only person that cares about him; is his bosom buddy, Ling.
Oh I felt the L he took when she asked to be friends.
11:53 reason I don't wear skirts
So beautiful. They love each other. Love 💓
One beautiful piece.
There is so much of the world I have not seen.
I'm lost tbh... Weird dude gets the pretty ladies, so idk why he's pressed. Ling looks better, and treats him publicly. No brainer to dump his supposed gf
13:36 Scott Pilgrim x Ramona x Knives reference?
Why on earth did he fight?
Popular dude was filming his gf who is popular. He got jealous and punched the guy.
They were taking bad pictures of those girls in wrong angles so he fought with them
Great actors and cinemqtography but not satisfied
Average Romance Anime 😹
So this is basically Jakusha anime IRL?
He jus too much for her to deal with
