      I didn't expect it to be a literary film

      1. I always thought it was a movie of youthful blood type before watching it, but I didn't expect that the ideological nature of the movie was much higher than that of ordinary movies, and it went a little further on the road of confused youth. The things that the big director tinkers with are still very distinctive.

      2. I feel that shooting the film into black and white images is of great help to the lens, especially the display of lights and shadows. In addition, the sharpness of...

      Forehead

      Why should the fish boxes be separated, because once they get caught, they will fight to the end. Here are the salamon fish, point the mirror at them and they will even fight their own reflections. Never thought about what they were like in the river, they belonged to the free river. A betta cannot be a betta in a tank. The street bastard wants to be like his brother, playing truant to fight and sniffing honey. The society is not as simple as he imagined, and he can't let go of his unruly...

      A Brief Analysis of the Technology of "Betta Fish"

      In 1983, Francis Ford Coppola, director of the "Godfather" trilogy and "Apocalypse Now," made this film with strong emotional and artistic appeal. In my opinion, the plot of the film may be a little mediocre, but it has achieved some success in the stylization of technology. Next, this article will conduct some simple analysis on the technology in "Betta Fish".

      The first is about the plot setting. Also about the anger of teenagers in their rebellious period, this film is...

      betta

      After watching this 1983 "Betta Fish", I have to sigh that the biggest tragedy in life is living in an era that does not belong to me at all, and I can never play my role well, and the ending can only be self-destruction or destruction. The confused, lost, intoxicated, and confused young people shown in the film really have the feeling that they will never wake up after drinking a lot of alcohol. And the shackles of that era also turned those young people into fighting fish in the fish tank,...

      A little genius movie that moves with nature and is not logically strong

      "Betta Fish"

      I still like this movie very much, I will classify it in the column of "Water Knife", little fun + little genius artistry.

      Audiences like to see people who are more stupid than themselves on the screen.

      The suspenseful soundtrack, the sluggish performances of the characters, and the dreamy words make the film have a mysterious temperament.

      "If you want to be a...

      Mickey Rourke in "Betta Fish" is more handsome than him in "Nine and a half weeks in love with you", but there was a young and handsome face of Uncle Bruce Willis on his face... The ascension scene in the alley is good Fantastic, although the wear is obvious. Indirect description, a lot of "several heads appear in the picture at the same time, but none of them are blurred, and one or two of them are very close to the camera" (Khan, don't know the...

      Coppola's Ode to the Escape, paved the way for the godfather's ruthlessness and sternness that is difficult to replicate; the same is the king of fighting, how did Mickey Locke grow into a later...

      The biggest highlight is the beauty of the big stars when they were young. The preaching flavor is slightly strong, and it is humanism. The protagonist's role as a punk is really like and hateful. "It means something!" mean your mother. . This is youth, looking back to see that others are not scolded and unhappy, and seeing myself sad alone....

      Black and white images cannot hide the power of photography, composition/light/brutal sound effects/white tight vest/jacket/motorcycle/scribbled hair/smoke/wine bottle/smoky voice of a man like a hairspring...a wonderful cruelty Youth Story! What happens outside the black-and-white images is a far more exciting picture than color films! A large number of draws, long shots, and only the color of swimming fish, Mickey Rourke's almost gorgeous appearance! Good...

    Preparatory process

    During the filming of "The Outsiders," Francis Ford Coppola and Hinton teamed up to adapt the script and decided to use the original cast, which was still filmed in Tulsa, Oklahoma   .
    Before the film started, Coppola organized the cast and crew to watch some old movies, including 1951's "Blood on the Rhine" which was the inspiration for the smoky film, and 1920's "Dr. Caligari's Cabin" for the film. The film provided stylistic...

    Evaluation action

    "Rumble Fish" is the director's free experiment in personal style, with Hollywood-style sloppiness and angularity and an intangible radiant charm, the director is too immersed in extravagant black and white images, highlights and Mickey Rourke's In the melancholy eyes, the film is also caught in a state of aimless rambling. But on the other hand, "Rumble Fish" captures the confusion and pain of youth, like Rumble Fish trapped in a fish...
