Jim is kind-hearted, and his partner laughs at his partner’s mother soliciting customers on the street. He will despise that his partner is a bastard, and his best friend is sick, which makes Jim very painful. He goes to the hospital to see his friend and looks at his skinny friend, sad, after the friend dies. In the face of inner pain, facing the uncertainty and uncontrollable erratic life of life, Jim used the opportunity of the church to confess, wanted to confess to the pastor, but was decisively rejected. All these shortcomings made Jim addicted to drugs and embroiled in pain. The black dead end of the heart and lungs.
Judging from the subject matter, the film itself is not unconventional, and the filming by the director is quite satisfactory. The juvenile drug addicts in the play are trying to get money for drug use. Robbery, car stealing, everything.
But what I want to say now is that these are not the most dazzling of this movie, the most dazzling is Leo, the masterpiece of this beautiful boy in the young period.
Leo shines in this film, supporting the whole movie with his godlike acting skills, from the rebellious innocence before drug use to the inextricable drug addiction, to the hideous face of drug addiction, heart-piercing, adolescence. The alternative growth path of a teenager, Leo's interpretation, can completely bring the audience into the atmosphere that the movie is trying to express. This depends entirely on the skill of the actors. Leo proves to the world that he has always been an acting school.
Without Leo, this movie would not be so good.
Through this film, I also found that Leo is very good at these kinds of marginal roles, mentally handicapped, drug addicts, emotional bumps, depression, neuroticism, hysteria, Leo is a natural actor with them.
