The volume and integrity of the film can make me hit five? In addition, I really feel that I should be grateful for having such an opportunity and courage to intervene in my own past and life as well as those of my friends. And that's just a starting point. Don't sigh, the future will be...

It’s a pity that those unrestrained skateboard shots are only used to adjust the atmosphere, the text is still a bit bland, and the tearjerker at the end is a bit tricky (although it still...

Such a personal picture presents a film similar to "Boyhood", but it is more intense and real than "Boyhood". In the face of time and life, several protagonists are forced to grow up, and none of them know where the end of this growth is. But they always have in their hearts the simplicity bestowed by skateboarding that has never been erased. This simplicity has given them the motivation to live in the sun and the courage to face life. This simplicity is so precious and splendid in the face of...

Documentary film#666. The documentary version of [Boyhood] is a self-healing documentary. The concepts and techniques are quite modern. Especially the director’s exposure to himself is very effective and powerful (including the director himself as a skateboarder who has taken some amazing photos Long shots of sports). Archived footage is used very well, this kind of possession of data is completely unattainable by others. The excavation of the themes such as run-down cities, broken families,...

After watching Oti's award-winning rock climbing this year, as well as RBG, seeing this skateboard has a very special feeling. "Skateboard Boy" did not select a great event "worthy of recording", but chose the common memory of friends around him as the object to be recorded. Domestic violence is a life dilemma faced by three people, and different people have different reactions to violence. The film brings people's growth and migration to life. People will sometimes shine the light of justice,...

Since Lucas's "American Graffiti" in 1973, youth films with multiple clues in a short period of time have appeared. The story time is mostly concentrated in one day, and the characters are grouped together to create a ukiyo-e of the life of a teenager. Since then, John · Hughes' "The Breakfast Club" and Richard Linklater's "Youth" and several other films are used in this model. By 1994, the documentary "Basketball Dream" appeared, and the two lines crossed and reflected the dream-chasing...

The most touching private images I've seen so far this year expose others while analyzing myself. The long shots of skateboarding are particularly good. They connect time, space and emotions in a real sense. The path of youth is different, but the feeling of growing up is...

Chinese director’s debut, a very private image memory. The three skateboarders quickly grew into strangers to each other, and their lives were not satisfactory. Only skateboarding could bring them back to their teenage years. Because it is shooting the stories of people around me, the material has been accumulated very solidly, and the shots are very lifelike. The director who combines screenwriting, editing, photography and appearance is...
