American Sweetheart's Honey

don't need to say anything

But there's nothing

When Star and Jake sat on the roof laughing, the blue and orange on the side of the road were bright but not stinging at all. In a trance, he seemed to see the small room where Celine and Jesse listened to the CD together, full of unspeakable but long-spreading feelings.

The way of filming is like having a friend next to you holding a cell phone to record it all. Shoot bigger farts, and shoot smaller ones too. It is these fragments that allow us to see clearly.

The jake standing alone beside the bonfire dance, and the star who deliberately kissed the winner, all made people feel distressed and funny.

Seemingly casual shooting, in fact, there is something to figure out: star's satisfaction after rescuing the little bee in the swimming pool, star after getting off the truck and discovering that the truck is loaded with a group of sexual animals, thinking about it, finally star released the little bee. Turtle emerges from the water...

Is it a movie that you will want to watch again with someone you like?

    Contemporary low-level poetry films (for modern people and low-level people, poetry is replaced by pop songs, so this is a pop song film), the structure is very rigorous but not deliberately artificial, and the rhythm is constructed through the repetition of images and actions. It is still the motif of the car-time-space movement, that is, the two narrative spaces inside and outside the car, the time for girls to grow up. The performances in the whole film are great (the female boss is almost), just don't feature Shia's snot anymore.

    Arnold's strength is her empathy for the characters, and that's what makes [American Sweetheart] so moving. It is a group portrait of a group of poor and white young people who are always on the road but have similar dreams: owning a house and some fixed and specific properties, which is also a subtle reflection of the current living conditions of young people. When the theme song of the pre-war goddess was sung, the warm emotions also infected us, because we all knew it.
