A strong film.

Starting from a few scenes, my heart began to ache, and when it comes to youth, we usually use cruelty to describe it. After watching it twice, it was just right and full, and I couldn't find any extra shots.


Yes, especially for children from such a family background, youth is the fish that was caught and pierced, the white horse that died at the age of sixteen, the cruelty of youth at the age of sixteen, but also the one who is loved. Warm, lighthearted lover. Maybe this is a good ending. She is not a bad girl, she will rescue the girl thrown into the water with the stick that drives the girl, and she will embrace the jealous person frankly. Hard Candy can't resist the unknown because temptation trumps everything. Connor is probably the most irresistible person in the context of life.

Exceptional loneliness, longing for love, but not knowing how to love. When the girl was pulled out of the water by mia, their hugs made me see a touch of innocence. Two confused girls. Love, it's a hug, that moment she knows love, how do you feel,
that family has never been so harmonious before Mia left The
last dance becomes an absurd eternal pain, struggle and epiphany under the stare of the black dog - from From that moment, he said goodbye to his past, nostalgia is already the story of yesterday, and tomorrow is an unknown road.

This seemingly cold-looking girl with a quirky personality found the touch of being protected and appreciated around this warm and charming middle-aged man. This is a kind of light similar to father's love, which warmly soaked her body that felt bound. and mind. Later, Mia brought her little boyfriend and came to Connor to ask for pocket money to buy wine and drink, which was very much like the little girl's coquetry to her father; she also told him that she wanted to apply for a dancer but was uneasy. Mood, also received support and encouragement from Connor.
Of course she loved this man, a heterosexual love with an Electra. This subtle feeling is very catchy, but it is really difficult to grasp. I was really anxiously looking forward to the emotional direction of the film. When they were drinking together in the middle of the night, and when Connor asked Mia to dance for him, I silently prayed in my heart, don't continue to extend, let's stop there. But the film still dragged the relationship between the two into the circle of sex.


At the 14th minute of the film, the male protagonist Connor went to the kitchen to make tea. This was the first time he met Mia. From then on, there was another person other than himself, Connor, in Mia's life. From the character modeling point of view, Mia has her hair covered, wearing a green T-shirt and pink pajama pants. Compared with the arrogant and vulgar image in the previous 14 minutes, Mia is more reflected at this time. Simple and cute side. This change in external clothing also lays the groundwork for the following storyline. Connor, on the other hand, is topless, revealing a sturdy and lean physique. The first time the male protagonist appears in this way, it is obvious that the director intends to convey a "temptation".

The nearly 2-minute dialogue, which seems to be a quarrel, can actually be seen as Mia's reaction to this "temptation": in the objective shot, Connor's body became the focus, and the reflection shots with Mia switched each other, which was incisively and vividly. It shows Mia's extremely contradictory and complex psychological state at that time: Mia lives in her own world. On the one hand, she neither wants to be disturbed nor disdain to communicate with others; on the other hand, she is deeply attracted by the middle-aged man in front of her. The deep attraction, the kind of anxiety and forbearance, made Mia's actor Jarvis behave appropriately.

Later, the director used Mia's first-person point of view to further narrate, and observed Conner in front of her from her perspective. When the camera repeatedly strayed from Conner's lean body, we had thoroughly understood that Mia was fascinated by the sight in front of her." lure". So far, in less than 2 minutes, the director has successfully and implicitly described Mia's affection for Conner by using only the change of viewpoint, the editing of shots, the costume design, the expressions and movements of the actors.

The director's implicit expression method is first of all in line with the heroine's identity characteristics. As a 15-year-old girl, she is beginning to fall in love. Although Mia has a bold personality, in this regard, she is more born with ignorance and childishness, shyness and desire. , the director avoided the straightforward expression method of language at first, made a big fuss about the details, showed his gestures, explained his feelings in one look and one action, which is just right; secondly, Mia is a bold and rebellious girl, which is why In later stories, there will be plots such as flipping through wallets, peeping, and having relationships, but these are all from cause to effect. It is precisely with the implicit expression at the beginning that the director can progress layer by layer, gradually deepening without appearing abrupt. This kind of narrative technique from obscure to straightforward plays a very good transition effect and is a very successful foreshadowing.
A film that speaks through the lens and the film. have to praise.

You are a hopeless case

full of swear words, smashing another girl's nose with her forehead, Mia's angry and rebellious character is frozen. Two attempts to steal the white horse, until the white horse was slaughtered, freedom and death are closely linked. Looking through the wallet, peeping, and being detached from Connor, and then dedicating, revenge, and returning, it shows the complex and dangerous psychological changes of adolescent girls facing emotional swirls.

The delicate feelings at the age of 15\16, an attractive 'handsome Shu Mi'
somewhat gave Mia's views on two kinds of men, another imitation neighbor, the owner of the white horse, could have acted as her boyfriend. They are happy together, but this happiness is based on equal friends, and once they are equal, there is no sense of awe and mystery, and love is boring.

While her mother was drunk, Mia approached her mother's boyfriend unintentionally or instinctively, and the filming became a beautiful emotional interaction, which was a challenge for both the director and the audience. This kind of treatment seems to be a matter of course, Connor's care has replaced the mother's selfish indifference; Connor's encouragement gave Mia the confidence to pursue her dream, all of which are positive and positive, because the previous plot has been prepared, and everything in the back The principles of accountability have all been feathered.

Growing up, a gloomy, irresponsible attitude toward life grew in this corner of the family.
