      Tracey Shard

      Take the blue plaid youth all the way to the end
      A boy measuring your annoying boobs with a dick and counting
      the ticking of the weather... no!
      Back to the

      moment when you were sitting in the back of the tram wrapped in sheets. Go for a date, go for a ride, oil all your cocks
      He grabs your head, just pauses for a few seconds, and
      life rushes away behind
      you lumps

      purple grape yellow apples bananas pears
      full of sonny lost sony
      just...

      Just dont swallow

      Some things cannot be swallowed, and when swallowed, they become a part of the body.
      We allow the thoughts of others to invade a little bit, and the cells are dehydrated and lose their courage. Sweat has a bitter taste.
      Twist the sheet into a ball, even if it covers the entire body, the sheet itself shows how hard you are trying to protect yourself.
      A dog's happiness lies in being able to concentrate on eating, making love, chasing goals, and falling asleep.
      And the bus...

      everyone is drunk

      When I watch it, it may be my own mood. Others want to turn it off within 15 minutes. I want to cry for 14 minutes and 43 seconds. The chaotic life is like a chaotic picture, and the sound is fragmented. .

      The reality is always like this. You want to integrate, but you find that in addition to breaking yourself, you can create a new self that is suitable for survival, but in the process of breaking, if you are not careful, you may not be able to turn back and integrate....

      "Tracy Fragments", fragmented youth

      I don't know when I didn't like watching teen movies, but for the powerful performance of Ellen Page's evil childish face and explosive small body. This film seems to have more form than content, and the split lens is incompetent in order to highlight the theme of this fragmented life; if it reverses life, would you really shoot it backwards? Alternative shooting methods are talked about, but they are not of great significance. It's all about Ellen Page.
      Adolescence is dangerous, and...

      Postmodern split screen

      When film theory talks about postmodern films, you watch it.

      Teacher asks:

      What is tracy worrying about?

      Why does tracy hate her parents? Why do you love that boy?

      Is the psychiatrist male or female? (The picture is male, the subtitle is female)

      Tracy's brother is a dog? (Why treat my brother as a dog?)

      The climax/point of the story feels like the MV, especially when it comes to Che Zhen and some deep emotions

      When I saw the editing, I wanted to...

    Movie plot

    The girl Tracey Berkowitz ( Ellen Philpotts-Page ) is behind a bus, wrapping her naked body in a tattered bathroom curtain. She was looking around for her brother Sonny as if he were a puppy.
    Tracey's journey takes us into the most vulnerable dark areas of the city center, into her emotionally distressed home, through the ruthless high school she attended, and playing with her psychiatristgames, and her boyfriend, Billy Zero, who makes...

    Movie quotes

    • Tracey Berkowitz: Billy Zero is not exactly famous. But he's a star to me, all right? He is the most gorgeous boy I have ever seen. On any music video, anywhere. In the whole world. And he did not pick just any girl. He picked me.

    • Tracey Berkowitz: He said it, like, a million trillion times. And he bought me presents. Like this necklace, you know? It's, like, made of titanium, and a million karats or something. It was really expensive.

      [looks down at her neck to see that there is no necklace; looks up, devastated]

      Tracey Berkowitz: It must have gotten lost.

      [looks down, then back up, suddenly angry]

      Tracey Berkowitz: Why would I lie? Huh? Why would I lie?

    • Tracey Berkowitz: I am so happy. I have an amazing life. Now I'm gonna scratch my eyes out.

      [suddenly angry]

      Tracey Berkowitz: What, you think I'm funny? I'm an emergency. It's not my fault, all right? It's not. My DNA is fucked, okay? You can ask Dr. Heker. She's my psychiatrist. I don't know, I heard her say the problem's, like, congential or something? I don't know, I think she was on the phone.

      [goes back to mock happy]

      Tracey Berkowitz: I'd also like to thank my parents. And God. And my boyfriend. Especially my boyfriend. When we were together everything was so friggin' clear that you could hear a glass tinging a fork in Mozambique. Now my head could explode, and I wouldn't even notice.
