After watching American Sweetheart last month, I can't forget it for a long time. I like the director's realistic style very much, so I took the time to watch this fish tank again. It's more like a movie than a movie. It is an extended version of the short film. It does not have a complete plot from beginning to end. The director seems to have extracted a segment about growth from someone's life, and then showed it naked in front of the audience. I may not know her past and future, but in these short 120 minutes, my heart experienced a real and cruel growth with mia.
The film uses a lot of hand-held cameras to shoot the occasional shaking shots, which sometimes makes people feel dizzy, but the close-up follow-up shooting is very immersive at the same time. Mia's emotional and psychological activities are magnified in front of the close-up camera. It seems that we are no longer just bystanders. Adria Arnold's shooting style has also been continued in this year's hot American sweetheart.
The title of the film Fish Tank is very meaningful. The mothers and daughters in the film are like three fish living in a fish tank. They are humble and unremarkable and are played with by others. Although they live in the same space, they have no normal communication with each other. They lack a father since childhood. The heroine is more masculine in appearance, and her character is withdrawn and seems a little out of tune with her peers. The white horses that appear many times in the film not only represent freedom, but also the majestic and tall white horses can easily make people feel like they want to rely on. sense of security. When the heroine touches the imprisoned white horse, it not only reflects the shackles that she wants to escape from reality, but also represents her inner desire for maleness, which is also something she has lacked in her life since she was a child. After the appearance of Connor, she quickly captured her. Adolescent girls are always full of infinite reverie about sex. I don’t think anyone can be immune to such a considerate, gentle, handsome, sexy and flirtatious uncle. There are a few scenes of intimacy between men and women in the film. The filming is simply sultry, with a dim and ambiguous bright yellow tone, the French shark is full of male hormones, and the ears are getting pregnant. The director is indeed a woman, and no one knows women better than women.
The fascinated dance at the end of the film touched me deeply. Mia is about to leave the "Fish Tank" where she has lived for 15 years. The director did not set up a sensational clip. The song "life is bitch" played when the mother and daughter danced together.
Romain Rolland said that there is only one kind of heroism in the world, that is, after seeing the truth of life and still loving life, when Mia set foot on the road to Wales, she was no longer the lost 15-year-old girl, she had grown into a free and strong girl the white horse
