Documentary is the most healing

Another brainless translation ruining a good work. I will not do any analysis. I only talk about it from the perspective of substituting characters. As a viewer who also has family emotional trauma, this documentary is just like the director Liu Bing asked Kiere, what do you want from this film, and Kiere hesitated. The answer to Free Cure allowed me to be cured. I think it's Kiere and Zack from my film.

Maybe my subconscious wanted me to forget this...

Recently I made a documentary three times in one breath, and the little detective who thought he had high tears was cried twice by it.

To be honest, it's been a long time since the detective saw a movie that made me cry.

So I...

A very real film, maybe because of Liu Bing's homie relationship with Zack and Keira, they record their most real thoughts in front of the camera without reservation, plus the smooth skateboard footage and soundtrack, the whole film looks like The rhythms are all light and intimate, as if they were your friends, telling you their stories. Under the theme of domestic violence, the documentary contains a lot of elements, family relationships, marriage, work, and alcoholism. Just like a bunch...

The three unfortunate families are similar, but the direction of life is different

Minding the Gap, "The Crack of Love and Pain"/"Skateboard Boy", this is the most touching and resonant documentary I saw at this year's Guangzhou International Documentary Festival. A film full of social problems, such as domestic violence, single-parent families, alcoholic fathers, racial discrimination, etc., is drawn out by skateboards that symbolize freedom, coolness, excitement, unrestrainedness, vitality, and enthusiasm.

The three skateboard companions grew up in the rust belt -...

Fast-moving skateboarders

When The Mountain Goats sang in "This Year" at the end of the credits, I am gonna through this year, if it kills me. Tears came. Yes, just like the skateboarders, there are always moments that seem to be swift and fast, masking the stagnation in our lives like walking in a swamp.

The skateboarding journey that started out of suppressed anger can directly attack the heaviness and complexity of domestic violence, and also involves issues of race and gender, which is unimaginable. The life course of the three skateboarding teenagers is finally fixed in front of the camera, and the private memories and emotions contained in them have great staying power. Skateboarding gave them back their sense of self-control and made them feel alive again. The persistence and freedom in...

The sports lens is so beautiful, and the line of sight follows the trajectory of the boy's sliding, as if he can hear the free wind in his ears. This sense of freedom is not only reflected in the image level, but also in the structure, editing, and even creative motivation. All this comes from the director's familiarity with the subject of the filming, but also from the unfamiliarity. Familiarity brings intimacy, and unfamiliarity arouses curiosity. What's even more amazing is such a free...

The long shot at the beginning is about the teenagers who are speeding on a skateboard. You see the wind and see freedom, but when you look back, your heart is broken. They are using the skateboard to briefly escape the harm caused by the original family, and they want to find an outlet to vent. , want to be healed. The whole film is more like the director's accusation of domestic violence, opening his wounds for everyone to see. This separation of family affection and love makes home not your...

As a debut novel, the editing method is very bold, so that the documentary form will not be that "popular science". In fact, this is really not a popular science documentary about skateboarding. People say that the American Empire, whose native family is a little aggrieved, lives relative to the lower-level teenagers. Is it free? You can imagine that without money, there is no...
