Confused adolescence a hundred times more real than shooting on campus

"Fish Bowl" reminds me of that gloomy island country. When you leave a place, the distance between space and time will continue to beautify the memories, and the gloomy past will gradually become insignificant, and the memories will be good.

It only takes a little seduction.

Around the spring of 2008, we met Trish in a bar in Cardiff. She was not as bright and coquettish as her mother in "Fish Tank" but she was very charming, wearing a red or black suspender skirt. Later we learned that she lives in Bridgend, a sluggish town 30 kilometers away, and raises a few children (I don't know if it's three after a long time).

In 2007, Bridgend’s consecutive suicides among teenagers shook the country, and Trish’s eldest son Anthony was one of them. He had a set of professional-looking knives, sharp and murderous. He first scratched himself with the knives, and then hanged himself and killed him. Trish said that when Anthony was found to have committed suicide, his eyes were still half open, "as if looking at me."

We went to Trish's house, at Anthony's anniversary. There is a vertical electric stove in the kitchen of Trish's house almost exactly the same as in the movie, the sink is full of unwashed dishes, the washing machine is full of dirty clothes, and there is also a dog. Trish is very sad, but her sorrow only ends there. If the movie heroine Mia died, her mother might also be like this.

Go to the bar to get drunk, talk to a stranger, and draw a big RIP with your finger on the beach dramatically, without making any changes. Tracy’s other children may grow into another Anthony, just as Mia’s sister Taylor will become another Mia.

The problem of drug use in the small town is very serious. The chimneys of the closed factories stand on their own, and the idle boys and girls drink heavily on the streets during the day. The sense of despair that permeated the air throughout the town was so suffocating that I panicked and wanted to commit suicide after I stayed for a while. So we ran back to Cardiff on the train like a flight.

The youth in "Fish Bowl" is too real, Gus Van Sant is good, after all, it is rare for confused teenagers to kill. It is more common that 15-year-olds like Mia are irritable, hate their parents, think that they are not understood, and everyone in the world is stupid—almost all secondary two are like this.

My junior high school is considered to be a strict school spirit. There is a difference between men and women. In the second grade, there are still girls in the same class who bring her boyfriend (a man! There is a man in the girl's middle school!) into the classroom and hide them in the closet where mops and rags are placed. When the head teacher was in the math class, I could hear the strange heartbeat of the whole class with secret excitement. That girl vividly described sex to other uncivilized girls during the break, my God, in fact, we just lack a pick-up master Connor in our lives.

Connor is undoubtedly a bad guy. The only two lines when he was on Mia can be seen.

I bet it doesn't feel like this with that boy of yours does it?
Is his cock this big?

Everything has nothing to do Strong breath. What's more, he did foreplay before going to Mia. He gently carried the drunk girl to bed, took off his shoes, socks and pants, then gently covered the quilt and closed the door; he went to fish in the muddy pond with the girl (what a sexual suggestion) , Took the injured girl on her back again, and carefully pasted Bundy on her bare feet; and the girl’s young mother had a passionate job, and then she used the girl to slap her ass naughty. His naked upper body has nice abdominal muscles.

After the mother and daughter, Connor's choice only disappeared. The mother was sad but didn’t think about it. The daughter couldn’t tell the difference between friendship and true love, so she ran to find the man. Then she found out that he had a wife and a daughter, and she was not the same as the mother and daughter who lived in the tube building. world.

Although the following development does not take the usual path, it is also too real. The 15-year-old knows what revenge and hatred, and no matter how swearing it is, I still instinctively run away when I heard Connor’s wife came back. I didn’t even have the courage to be the third party. . I didn’t think about what to do with the abduction. Two girls with very different fate were chasing in the field. Finally, Connor’s daughter fell into the water. The girl went back to Connor's house and said to her diagonally, "Go home."

This is the most exciting part of the whole film. There are many psychological analyses on the Internet. It is said that Mia has transformed into a long-term self-salvation by saving people, but I tend to think that all her actions are completed in a state of confusion, although She subconsciously saved people when her life was hanging for a moment. It was only because there was enough positive energy left in her nature. Those positive energy might come from music, or from clumsy dance, or from the hairless old white horse. .

Mia was finally wild enough to not commit suicide when she was frustrated in her love career and even the white horse, which she regarded as her spiritual sustenance, died. She is going to drive a broken car to Wales with an honest boy to Cardiff.

Before leaving, she danced with her mother and sister, and the three women who were awkwardly dependent on each other seemed to be in love with each other. My sister told her that bitch I hate you, remember to send me a text message.

Mia continued to embark on the journey of cruel youth with positive energy. I can guess what she and the boy are looking forward to seeing in Cardiff, the glittering millennium center, the Norwegian church with white houses and black roofs, and the sea breeze in Cardiff Bay. Or a little further south, Swansea has fine sandy beaches and surging waves, and Brecon Mountain National Park is enough for Mia to run for several days and nights.

But it is also possible for them to go to the Koitian Mountains, where mining was started in 1810, and now the long-abandoned coal mine is big, deep, and terrifying. Many places in Wales made their fortunes in coal mines, and they started early and ended early. In the 1980s, there was no future in sight.

And Bridgend, who committed suicide in the same year as 19-year-old Anthony, 18-year-old Angie, 18-year-old Dale, 19-year-old David, 21-year-old Jason, 16-year-old Gina, and 20-year-old Kelly, 22-year-old Ray, 20-year-old Liam, 20-year-old Luke, 17-year-old Natasha, 15-year-old Nathaniel, 20-year-old Thomas, 17-year-old Zahri, 21-year-old Allen, 24 years old Irene, 19 years old Andrew, 18 years old Angelina, 10 years old Cameron, 13 years old Cheryl, 20 years old Neil, 18 years old Paul, 19 years old West Hmm...

They chose to leave in the confusion, just like Mia chose to leave in the confusion. In the constant Welsh wind and rain throughout the year, there is a farewell style of youth that is more tragic than youth.
