I was young, I liked to do one thing. I would fish out a goldfish for 2 yuan from the fish tank, let him struggle until he was dying, and then put it back into the fish tank, watching it breathe desperately Spit bubbles, swim around and enjoy the restricted freedom,'It’s life is bestowed by me', that kind of ignorant pride is still fresh in my memory.
Mia, the 15-year-old rebellious girl in the movie, is like a fish tank There are thousands of goldfishes living in their own plight. Poor, dropped out of school, drunkard mother, lack of paternal love, bad growth environment. Her life is so miserable, she is exhausted and lonely physically and mentally, we pity her but cannot save her. In such a place, she has nothing to rely on. Until Connor appeared.
Connor was the boyfriend of Mia’s young mother, Joanne. They paired up in front of Mia, drank, and flirted. The mother was different in front of her boyfriend-gentle and beautiful. From Mia’s eyes, Connor brought It was more of a father’s care. He cared about her dance and encouraged her to go to the audition. He asked who the boy was next to her. He took Mia and his sister out of this nasty place and went to the countryside to the park. He was in the car. Sing lightly, California Dream, and Mia humming softly. This kind of scene is what this 15-year-old girl infinitely desires---a role like a father, but she can't express her happiness, she can only use yelling and insulting. Get more attention and conceal your pleasure. In
the first half of the movie, we have been watching the world through Mia’s eyes. The camera hides behind Mia many times. When Mia touches Connor up close, she is on his shoulder and she Smelling his cologne, the rhythm slows down, we can hear Mia's breathing, life seems to overlap, the director wants us to experience the feelings she is enjoying---the kind of life that has hope, originally has no desire for life Mia sees the future and is happy. This more than an hour of foreshadowing won the climax of the movie, and Connor captured Mia's innocence.
It is not reasonable to say that the seizure is unreasonable. Mia and Connor seem to be in love, but I also think that Mia, a 15-year-old girl, doesn’t know the predicament she is in. It’s ironic to say that when I watch a movie, I keep evading my feelings. Connor’s skepticism and firm belief that he really cares about the family and cares about Mia’s happiness, but that night, in those short five minutes, Connor, the family’s only hope, destroyed the expectations of all audiences like me. His jealousy and sentimentality, his constant lies, his good looks, he chose to escape and cut off all contact for the first time. His slap on Mia's face not only broke Mia's last expectation of him It also shattered the happy ending that we and this tragic family were waiting for together. The
director's performance of Mia's thoughts after learning the facts was very vague, and basically couldn't find a clue to see Mia's mood. Before Connor appeared, Mia only paid attention With two things, dance practice plus liberation of the white horse she accidentally discovered. The appearance of the white horse in such a British industrial town is abrupt. The affection and love between Mia and the white horse are the release of Mia’s desire for freedom. She broke into a private residence and tried to rescue him at the risk of being assaulted, but the white horse was not hers after all. In the end, the death of the white horse made Mia cry. But I believe that was not the only reason. Along the way, she saw it. Hope, and fell into despair again. She saw the value of life, but she was mocked by death. She thought that she had received love, but found that love was too extravagant, and lies were cheaply available everywhere. But life has to go on, these 15 The year-old child grew up overnight, wiped away his tears, accepted the temper of fate, and moved on.
At the end of the film, there is still a dark and ambiguous future. The target of disillusionment, and the aggressive mother, can never be beaten To such a strong woman. She, from a child to an adult, from anger to calm, that kind of desolation and courage to see life are the only pillars for her to persevere. She finally danced briskly, without pressure or torture. No matter how difficult life is, it will eventually be faced and overcome.
Romain Rolland said: There is only one kind of heroism in life, that is , after knowing the truth of life, still loving life. Mia, 15 years old, sees everything clearly . And go forward bravely.
