is "a fighter with a brain" who betrays his group later. So, the film's doomed to have a sad, bloody ending-also a beautiful one. Right before Mosquito dies in the end, blood in the air becomes fluttering cherry blossoms, which he's always dreamed of seeing.
影片将一群小混混细微的情感描写得淋漓尽致。除了向观众展现小混混的形象，影片更深度挖掘了5个年轻人在认识到世界的残酷后义气、友谊和兄弟情谊观念所发生的转变。
A film like this shows all the subtle emotions and sentiments of a group of gangsters. And, instead of just showing audiences what gangsterdom is like, Monga digs deeper into how meanings of loyalty, friendship and brotherhood shift for the five young gangsters, as they come to see how cruel the world can be.
近年来，青年电影在台湾大受欢迎。有人说，台湾电影正在复兴，当地几部电影的票房都很可观，社会反响良好。除了《艋舺》，《海角七号》、《听说》、《囧男孩》和《九降风》都很有名。它们中的大多数都是青年题材影片，后两者尤其如此。
Youth films have become popular in Taiwan in recent years. Some say that Taiwanese films are undergoing a revival lately, with several local productions doing big at the box office, and receiving good reviews. In addition to Monga, there're Cape No 7 , Hear Me , ORZBoyz and Winds of September. Most of them are about young people, especially the latter two.
“一直以来，年轻人题材的影片在当地都很受欢迎，” 《囧男孩》和《艋舺》的监制李烈在接受Yahoo Taiwan采访时表示。她还说，观众很喜欢这类电影，因为他们能轻易抓住并感受这些角色以及他们的故事，很多情节都曾在日本动漫中出现过。
"Stories about youth have always been a favorite of local film makers," Lee Lieh, producer of ORZBoyz and Monga, told Yahoo Taiwan. She said audiences love this type of film because they can identify easily and feel connected to the characters and their stories, many of which appeared earlier in Japanese anime form.
“适合的剧本加上全明星阵容很容易吸引那些迷恋动漫情节的青少年来买票，”李烈说，“而另一方面，对成年人来说，这类电影能激起他们的怀旧氛围--毕竟这些故事都源自现实生活。”
"An adapted script and all-star cast will always get teenagers who fantasize about a comic book life to buy tickets," Lee said. "And for today's adults, those film can cause a certain nostalgia because the stories are true to life."
换言之，正是青春期的困惑以及现实生活中所遭受的种种压力赋予了青年期特殊的意义。
In other words, it's the adolescent confusion and the exposure to the real world that make youthful days so special.
正如《艋舺》片尾的旁白所说，“风往哪个方向吹，草就要往哪个方向倒。年轻的时候，我也曾经以为自己是风。可是最后遍体鳞伤，我才知道我们原来都只是草。”
As a voice-over near the end of Monga has it, "The grass flutters in the same direction as the wind blows. When we're young, we always think that we're the wind. But after we're beaten black and blue, that's when we know we're just the grass."
将来，即便我们摆脱了年轻时的无畏和鲁莽，相信昔日的记忆也定会深扎在我们的内心深处。
There can come a day when the fearlessness and recklessness of youth fade away, but the memory can live forever.
