"Monkey"
"White Tiger"
is a strange combination of a family in a car driving in the suburbs.
Driving the car is a beautiful woman's boyfriend, who looks like a qualified father, and the woman's two daughters sit in the back seat, the youngest daughter is innocent and precocious. And the eldest daughter is in the irritating puberty. She likes to wear a gray coat, but she longs to be a white tiger in her heart.
White Tiger, pure and powerful.
And she told Mia
's car to continue driving, parked in a clearing, and the man took them to the lake and caught fish for them.
"Who wants to help me?"
No one wants to go down except Mia. Mia walked into the lake, and after a few minutes of silence, the man caught a fish, which was thrown ashore, breathing weakly. The man smiled and pierced the fish with a branch and said, "I want to make them grilled fish."
A lake is a fish tank, and a fish is a fish.
The world is also a fish tank, and Mia is also a fish.
Going back to the beginning
, Mia likes to see the world, and the director reflects it with fine-grained shots.
However, the world is oppressive and dark, and the sky is full of dark clouds without sunlight.
But Mia saw a white horse, the only pure existence in this gray world. While the white horse was locked in the open space, Mia rushed over and tapped the chain with a stone. At this time, a man rushed over and drove her away.
Mia likes to dance in the abandoned empty room. The dance steps are enthusiastic and vivid. It is rare that we can see a bright light on his gray body.
Like a real energetic teenage girl.
It's a pity that no one cares about her smart dancing.
Except that man.
The first time Mia saw the man was at home, and he admired her dance moves. The man walked upstairs, so Mia knew that he was another boyfriend of the woman.
But he is different. He is gentle and kind like his father. The second time, he walked into the party with a smile on his face in white.
Time and time again, he approached Mia, his helper Mia, and slowly opened her heart.
What kind of feelings does Mia have towards men?
Like a father, and very much like a lover.
Follow him and talk to him.
Even when Mia wanted to drink with boys, she would drag boys to ask men for money.
The boy
was one of the owners of the white horse. When his brother wanted to drag Mia away, he quietly let go of the dog's leash.
When Mia asked for a music CD, she didn't embarrass him.
Mia accompanies the boys to steal car parts and play together.
The boy sat with Mia in the empty room and drank together.
Two equally lonely and gentle people.
But Mia still couldn't let go of the man.
Mia was still wearing her gray coat, black in the middle and white inside.
Until that night
the woman got drunk and fell asleep upstairs.
Mia went downstairs and danced a little awkwardly for the man. The man hugged Mia, on the sofa, and the two moaned.
"Comparing me and your little boyfriend, who is bigger?" The
father's appearance collapsed, revealing his naked desire.
Mia likes this kind of desire, is it simply liking or pursuing this kind of adult desire? I have no way of knowing.
Mia finally put on completely black clothes.
The woman knew about them, and Mia anxiously looked for a man.
She finally found a man. But the man closed the door, gave her money, took her to the station, and kissed her tenderly.
Mia didn't leave
, she returned to the man's house, knowing that the man had a family, so she vented her anger and urinated on the floor of the man's house.
A man's home is warm and harmonious, which makes him extremely ridiculous.
So she snatched the man's daughter and ran with her into the forest, by the lake. The daughter thought it was a game, but she was also afraid, and she fell into the lake. Mia still rescued her, and she weakly hugged the man's daughter.
It's all just a funny joke
In the end,
Mia is about to go to the residential school and leave here.
She wanted to rescue Baima again, but the boy told her that Baima was dead, and she was too old to
live long enough.
Mia cried, and the tears made the makeup on her face a mess.
The white horse is the purity of Mia and the purity that has been lost. And it finally died, like Mia's virginity.
Mia has grown up.
She no longer wears grey clothes and white bras. She wore a black coat and said goodbye to her family.
Mia got into the boy's car heading for Wales.
On that day, the world finally ceased to be a gray color, the light filled the earth, and countless different stories were quietly being staged.
A silver-gray balloon flew into the sky
Mia's
coming never her eighteenth birthday, but a moment.
The film shows us a girl's repressed and cruel growth story with finely edited and shaky footage.
The film is full of interesting metaphors.
It is different from the brightness created by the perspective of the bystander used in other youth growth films. Most of the time, we observe the world in her eyes from the perspective of a girl. It is chaotic and indifferent, but also has a rare warmth and softness.
When watching this movie, I feel distressed for the rebellious and childish girl.
The whole film is full of unspeakable complex emotions, and it is this conflicting emotion that makes this film seem real and absurd.
