We are all fish in a fish tank

After watching it in the afternoon, I didn't feel much. I opened the playlist at night and heard California Dream, and suddenly the goosebumps fell to the ground and seemed to evaporate.

The movie tells the story of what happened to Mia between two weeks in a very crude way. Mia walked recklessly on the street, as if she had a kind of heroic spirit, but she was more embarrassed by the heavy rain. She stroked the white horse gently, her tender and pitying eyes in stark contrast to the foul-mouthed her in the previous scene. The white horse is very old, and breaking the shackles is not to let the white horse run again, but to let it know that it is free. Hakuba's 16-year-old also hints at Mia's age. The boy told Mia that Hakuba was 16 years old and had enough to live. The 15-year-old Mia finally burst into tears, life is a bitch, but she has to live. Mia also looked up at the stars in such a harsh environment.

Poor, marginal, rebellious, no friends, absent father, bitch mom. Until connor appeared, he threw a stone on the calm lake.

From a bystander's point of view, Connor is a real liar, and it's been revealed from the start of the film. He skillfully took off Mia's pants, lied that he was living at his mother's house, gave Mia to Mia under the guise of drinking too much, and finally slapped Mia in the face. But think about it from Mia's point of view, in this cold residential area, Mia is also shackled like a white horse, and she is looking forward to the appearance of the person who picks the lock? That's how Connor entered his mia youth. It was hard not to move a 15-year-old girl with his rhetoric, but in the end he left irresponsibly. In a way, he put another lock on Mia's dark heart.

Mia pees on the Connor carpet and meets Keira after she learns the truth. Keira threw stones at Mia, Mia said you thought you were the only one! I think this is the hatred and inferiority of a person who has never felt a father's love in his life for the person who can enjoy Connor's love at ease. What's even more desperate is that Mia originally thought that she could find a reliable job by taking the dance exam, but she didn't expect to just go to striptease. Called for a dance audition, she takes Connor's California dream to the stage she once dreamed of. The music played, but when she woke up from the dream, she turned away, forgetting the town and everything here.

The way mom and mia dance farewell at the end is also very special. The two were like fish writhing in a fish tank, but they both knew that they couldn't swim out of this damn shackle.

Mia's dance is not beautiful enough, but does it also symbolize the distance between reality and dream?

Just as I was drooling over Connor's cock's words, the story took a twist. In the end, I left a silver-white balloon floating in the air and nowhere to go. Youth is just like that. We are actually fish in a fish tank. I hope that at the end of the story, Mia can jump out of this damn fish tank and swim to the sea.
