    The bright line is skateboarding teenagers, and the dark line is domestic violence. Let people take a look at a small group of people living in that corner of the world, and also think about the impact of family and growth on people. Filmmaking is also a healing...

    At first, I was indulged in the straightforward, pure, and unrestrained energy of young people, screaming and screaming. As the narrative deepens, the colors in front of me turn to the other side, and the picture becomes wider and wider, but the heart is heavy. I thought of the line Freddy said in Bohemian Rhapsody "we're four misfits who don't belong together, playing to other misfits". The social gap starts in the family. To bridge the hurt and pain caused by this gap, none of us can survive...

    Compared with "Skate Kitchen" in which the protagonist is a group of teenage New York girls, it is more complex from boyhood to adulthood. Chinese boys trying to get rid of the shadow of domestic violence, black boys who suppressed their feelings and alienated from the crowd, and white boys who have not grown up enough to be fathers, can see too much the truth of life from them. The camera captures those real and naked emotional moments, which makes the film get rid of the temperament of...

    I didn't expect this movie to cry at all. Not only was it resonated by the familiar theme of escaping growth under the shadow of domestic violence, but also I was envious of self-healing creation in this way @...

    Keire: To some extent it can be said to be an antidote. When I am on the verge of a nervous breakdown, as long as I play skateboard, I will be fine... When the antidote fails, all the bad things come back. —— Zack: I feel oppressed and desperate. I know that I am my own enemy. It feels terrible. Every decision you make makes your current life worse. There is nowhere to escape... —— -Bing's mother: I try to help you. If you make this movie to make you feel better, then yes, you can't change the...

    Kiere's dad told him before his death that the cool thing about being black is being able to speak up in your own way every day and make others feel ashamed for trying to define you. It must feel good to carry a camera on a skateboard, making a movie to make a heavy child...

Minding the Gap quotes

  • Zack Mulligan: Your whole life society tells you, like 'oh, be a man, and you are strong and you are tough and margaritas are gay' you know, like. You know. You don't grow up thinking that's the way you are. When you're a kid, you just do, you just act and then somewhere along the line, everyone loses that.

  • Keire Johnson: I feel like life might be moving too fast.

    Zack Mulligan: We have to fully grow up and it's gonna fucking suck.
