shards of april

Unfortunate families are unhappy in their own way. April was misfortune for the family of teenage April Burns.

This punk girl with fiery red hair and thick dark circles under her eyes never seemed to have anything to do with good family memories. She got tattoos, she kept piercing and piercing her body, burning her brother's hair in the kitchen, socializing with bad youth, running away from home...

April has never brought laughter and care to her family, this family, no...

American parents are short-lived, they are not just optimistic and cheerful

I watched "April Fragments" (2004 US) yesterday. The director is very clever. Using the American Thanksgiving Day as a small incision, it reflects the American family concept and the indifference between family relationships. It seems that he is also advocating the Chinese family concept to the old beauty. .
    At the beginning of the story, on Thanksgiving - the white girl April and her boyfriend are busy in the rented room, preparing a sumptuous Thanksgiving dinner for the arrival of...

It tells the family emotional story of a little girl who was separated from the family because of the impending death of her mother. The emotional atmosphere revealed in the film oscillates between sadness and happiness. Sadness and warmth are intertwined. It is hard to tell whether it is happiness or sadness. It will not make you feel heavy or make you suddenly excited. It involves Death, and hot topics of teenagers, so its tone is generally dark, but the gray is jumping, the temperament of...

The protagonist is a girl named April.
A kind girl who left her parents when she was very young. It seems that her father has a new family, so she can't be tolerated. Anyway, she lived alone, and one year she suddenly missed his family, and her father's family also said they wanted to see her. She's so excited that he's been busy preparing food all day, preparing to host his dad's family, and she's never done any of that, clumsily, something that happens in the process. The so-called...

Enjoyable moments that don't add up

Another good film ruined by a hurried-tidy ending.

Production value, as is usual with low-budget indies, is pretty low. The handheld camera is use to the optimal benefits, emphasizing the confines and the cheap squalor of April's apartment, and making her and her boyfriend's warmth more touching. Joy, th mother, played here by the ever-amazing Patricia Clarkson ("High Art", "Green Mile", "Dogville", delivers a joyless, wry sense of humor with a desperate conviction, which makes her...

I feel that the film has a taste of East Asia, and the lines are very simple, but the story and feelings are all there. Many shots have a documentary feel, and Katie Holmes' smoky outfit is also eye-catching! And the Chinese people in the film at least speak Chinese very authentically, which is also worth extra...
