      Pain is the only thing I have

      I especially like family movies. Quite strange, obviously my value order is friendship, love, family. May always feel indebted.

      A lot of people compare this movie to "Floridaland," and I especially hate "Floridaland." I feel like the director is trying to be a cool bystander and blurs the line between sympathy and criticism. Although LaBeouf's own script is young, the emotional concentration of his personal experience is different. And his own role as a father is to try to lead the...

      'Indiewire' Review: Performance and Film

      Author: Eric Kohn

      The translation was first published in "Iris"


      Baby Boy is a semi-autobiographical film written by Shia LaBeouf. The film is about his troubled teenage years and his struggles through adolescence at the hands of his abusive father, a manly character played by LaBeouf himself with a disturbing machismo. Just one of the few misplacements and coincidences in the movie. "Baby Boy," the feature debut of expressionist documentary...

      A semi-autobiographical film that is dreamlike but directly touching the heart

      【Sundance Film Festival 2019: Hong Kong Movies】A semi-autobiographical story of Transformers boy Shia LaBeouf, with genius child star Noah Jupe and rising popularity actor Lucas Hedges playing his childhood and youth respectively , and he himself played his wretched and rude father. If you are unfamiliar with this actor, it is not bad to see it as a fictional child star growth story. The film uses two overlapping narrations of past and present time and space to truly and delicately restore...

      MY GHOST—For Dad

      HONEY BOY

      At first, I was curious about Shia LaBeuf just because I saw the short film "Love me like you hate me" on Vimeo. In it, he and Margaret Qualley performed a pair of lovers, showing a pair of lovers in love with actions and limbs. The state, the kind of intimacy that is twisted and afraid of losing is like a cycle, they are...

      Empathy, Otis and I, who lack fatherly love

      My 90 points movie. The feelings are sincere and sincere. When Shia LaBeouf played his father, he must have broken his heart to play it. It is almost impossible for someone like me who can relate and cry.

      A movie that made my heart skip a beat. When I was a child, because I wasn't smart enough to analyze it, the scab on the scar I forgot to feel with my sense of "self" was washed out over time, and I heard it bleed a little. Thankfully I was stupid enough as a kid and easy enough to...

      When Arthur has a son... if you can't make sure you can take care of the baby, take care of your organs. It's admirable that Otis still believes in his father being a real father after all the trauma, I don't believe my mother can grow up to be a good mother anymore. The father's jealousy of his son's achievements and his support for his son's deep low self-esteem and the feeling of his great failure are brutally expressed only by anger. I like the scene where Otis and the neighbor girl have...

      Lucas's own light was completely overshadowed by Noah...

    Evaluation action

    The story of "Honey Boy" connects these two different times and places, showing how Otis Lott's outrageous behavior evolved bit by bit from his turbulent upbringing, showing a kind of A tightrope walk with raw, rough drama. Shia La Beouf's moody character in the film is also a very expressive one. This action may lead some viewers to criticize the film and question why viewers should endure and focus on Shia La Beouf's self-healing...
