"America's Sweetheart" - it doesn't feel very sweet, there is a kind of youthful bitterness

This should be said to be an American-style youth confusion drama. At first, I thought it was similar to a hot-blooded high school, and I thought it was a youth film similar to that in China. After watching it, it was not at all. Almost a slum girl's life experience for a period of time, or a tragic fate.

At the beginning of the story, an American girl star (the names all start like this) took her younger siblings to pick up food from the garbage. While waiting for the bus at the entrance of the supermarket, I met a Jake who came to the supermarket for shopping. Jake told her to let her join their team and wait for him at the designated place tomorrow. Star refused at first, and when he returned home, he found that there were a lot of disappointments in his home. She decided to leave, and after explaining her brother and sister to her mother, she went to the designated place to meet Jake alone. Jake's boss told her that her main job was to sell magazines. As an old business, jake started the business of leading star to sell magazines. During the first sales pitch, star and jake had a falling out, and the result was that in the first evaluation, their group failed. In the second sale, star found a few cowboys. When the sale was about to succeed, Jake broke in and took star away. They basically switched places with one shot, and moved to an oil area. An oil worker asked for assistance with Star, and Star accepted the offer. In the end, jake still messed up. So the story ends.

It should be said that the name of this movie is a bit confusing. It is not so much an American sweetheart, but rather a period of youthful confusion for an American slum girl.

    Samsung and a half. American Honey with dreadlocks is probably equivalent to the "kill Matt" who washes, cuts and blows hair and loves to drive a car on the road in our country, that is, a group of people who are often called trash. Their youth, in a sense, is wonderful.

    What hindered me more was Andrea Arnold's excessive (mandatory) presence and Shia LaBeouf's dramatic (albeit good acting) presence.
