      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: [trying to leave in a hurry] I just don't like owing anybody anything, okay?

      Lance: Alright, look. You don't owe anybody anything but there's going to be a blizzard out there, alright? The weather channel says that exposed skin can be frostbitten in three minutes. And that snow has this effect on people. It's hypnotic. It's the white. Too much whiteness, okay? People fall asleep in the snow. Nobody finds them until the spring and they're fucking dead. Don't you watch the weather channel? People are dying out there.

      Tracey Berkowitz: [beginning to cry] I gotta find my brother.

    • Lance: Look at that. Look at this crow. Fucking hell, look at the crow.

      Tracey Berkowitz: It kind of looks sad.

      Lance: How does this crow look sad?

      Tracey Berkowitz: I don't know, it's just like, you know, it's not peeping or anything.

      Lance: Oh boohoo. Stupid crow doesn't have the fucking brains to fly south. I'm going to get him. Let's bring him in.

      Tracey Berkowitz: [suddenly frustrated] Fuck, no! Don't touch it! Now it's not going to be able to go back to its natural habitat!

      Lance: Oh, sure it will.

      Tracey Berkowitz: No, it won't! Everybody knows that! You put a fucking human smell on it, it's going to be a freak and the other crows are going to kill it!

      Lance: He's fine! Aren't you, big fella? See, he was just lonely out there. I like crow. Chicken of the tree.

      Tracey Berkowitz: Don't say that. Crows are like people.

      Lance: They're not like people. They have a very different psyche, as a matter of fact. They have a crow consciousness.

    • Tracey Berkowitz: Do you live in a condominium?

      Dr. Heker: I live in a house.

      Tracey Berkowitz: How many people live in your house? You know because I was thinking, maybe I could rent a room. You know, and when they find Sonny, we can come live with you.

      Dr. Heker: Tracey, you can't come home with me.

      Tracey Berkowitz: [her face falling] Why not?

      Dr. Heker: Well, for one thing there are rules.

      Tracey Berkowitz: I'm not going to tell on anybody.

      Dr. Heker: Why don't you go home? Go home. Talk to your family. Contrary to what you believe, your feelings will be beneficial to your parents. They need to know what you're feeling.

      Tracey Berkowitz: [undertone] Fuck that.

      Dr. Heker: What did you say?

      Tracey Berkowitz: Nothing.

      [increasingly desperate]

      Tracey Berkowitz: I'm just really worried that I'm going insane.

      Dr. Heker: Well, if you're worried, go to the hospital.

      Tracey Berkowitz: Where they put the nutbars?

      Dr. Heker: What was that?

      Tracey Berkowitz: Nothing. Nothing. That was... just kidding. You know, just joking.

      Dr. Heker: It's okay to express your anger.

      Tracey Berkowitz: [looks up, suddenly furious] What do you know about anger, you cunt? You fucking stupid robot cunt!

      [suddenly remorsefully frantic]

      Tracey Berkowitz: Oh my God, I'm so sorry. No I'm really really really really really sorry. Look, I can't leave until I know right now that you're not going to send me to somebody else.

      Dr. Heker: That was never my intention.

      Tracey Berkowitz: [suddenly accusing] You're a liar. You are a liar, and why would I want to see a psychiatrist who's a big fat liar anyway?
