Distant summer, childhood in dreams

The whole film is like a colorful and broken dream. After watching it, there is an inexplicable melancholy, as if my head is still floating in the air, slowly chewing and reminiscing about those colorful fragments.

Earlier, I saw a movie blogger posted a screenshot of a child sitting at a table eating ice cream. I felt very emotional, so I came to collect a few movies, but I read the comments about the poverty of the United States, the protagonist's delicious food and so on. I didn't want to watch it a little bit, and then I saw it again one day after flipping through the movie, so I stayed in the rental house and watched it alone in the evening shrouded in the setting sun.

Colorful motels, restless voices, turquoise dense plants, large sky, transparent clouds, young mother and young child in a dark room with closed curtains, a mess everywhere, hot The air was mingled with the smell of garbage and the noise of cicadas.

Although it is not a portrayal of everyone, there are people who live like this.

Those kids running around doing nothing, jumping up and down, talking swear words that they didn't know where they came from, laughing and laughing and babbling are not as quiet as cicadas. It seems that the long hair that has not been combed for a long time is loosely tied with leather ropes, and the sweat-soaked hair is twisted and stuck to the face, waving half of the tanned arms, licking the ice recklessly, free and disgusting. live a long summer. The frowning adults have no time to take care of them. They are people from two worlds. Sure enough, "the joys and sorrows of human beings are not connected, I just think they are noisy."

A young mother who has not yet grown up is helpless. Occasionally looking for fun in the garbage heap, the essence of life is hardship and contradiction. There are many things in the world that are hard to describe. When the time abounds: today also want to scold people.

Insert a sentence: Bobby is a very good person, and I hope to meet such a landlord.

Colorful but extremely greasy colors, it takes a lot of maple syrup and strawberry jam on toast, just thinking about it can be sweet enough to a toothache, Moni eats with food residue on her face, as if it is a metaphor for a rotten Castle.

The occasional rainstorm, the damp ground that was rubbed into the reflective surface by the shoes, and the sluggish life under the sun, I don’t know when the mood will suddenly break, and the colorful surroundings are filled with a sense of weakness and powerlessness. The world is like the burning broken house in the movie. It looks tall and strong, but we have all seen what it looks like inside.

Everyone was Mo Ni who was forced to stand in front of the house for a photo. She didn't know whether to cry or laugh, with an embarrassed and bitter expression. But there are always people who are actively working hard to live and feel the reincarnation of the four seasons. I am so envious of this mentality. I am so negative that I have difficulty breathing.

The film presents part of the picture of life and provides an eye hole, through the eye hole to see those things that have not been noticed is the meaning, it builds a dream or evokes some inadvertently forgotten old memories, allowing people to see themselves and the world in a broader perspective. , In short, there are movies to look forward to happiness.

But still very melancholy, beep.
