I'm just watching Skate Boys

Just looking at the movie poster, I thought it was a Lord of the Rings sci-fi movie, so I didn't want to watch it.
On this stormy morning outside only one class, I somehow wanted to take a look.
Just because I saw skateboarding on the profile, but when I went to the movie, I found it was a gay movie, which was quite confusing.
Actually I'm just here for the skater boy.

I don't like Chinese translation very much, what psychedelic park, those translators have always been so bloody.

I thought that the European and American factions couldn't make movies with small sentiment and small details. I thought they were only interested in big scenes and heroic Hollywood style. When I was about to change my mind, the half body of the train staff jumped out. It was really ruined. I lost my small emotions. In fact, Gus Van Sant doesn't need such a flashpoint, but better grasp the rhythm and the emotions of the audience. If it weren't for this failure, I would have given this movie five shining stars╮(╯_╰)╭.

If you haven't skated before, you probably won't understand why Alex would rather stay in Paranoid Park and stare blankly at the group of skateboarders than have sex with his little girlfriend. I remember someone once said that every boy has a skateboard scene. Well, maybe, not skateboarding, but a restless, adventurous life.

In the face of real life, we are always confused and confused, just like a deep tunnel, we clearly see the light at the end, and we only know that it is hope, but there are spreading coldness on both sides. ALEX in Paranoid Park is deep in a tunnel like this, with countless thoughts pulling at his body.

While writing these words, listening to the song. Someone is singing in the song, youth is the age of innocence, and society is a game of harm. That's about it.

I just love skateboarding, I love Skate Boy, and that Paranoid Park.

    Alex: Dude, I don't think I'm ready for Paranoid Park.

    Jared: Yeah, but no one's ever really ready for Paranoid Park.
