some ideas, some questions

Van Sant is still in tune. Pay attention to the teenage crowd, the actor with blonde hair, the super long follow-up shots, and the complicated narrative process.

Regarding the story, this time the male protagonist inadvertently became the subject of the crime. When a person looks at half a corpse on the rails, what else is going on in his mind. Maybe he is not the person with the most ideas in the world, but he must be the purest thinker in the world!

The setting of the scene, the coordination of the music, and the hints of details are all the highlights of this movie. But this old GAY who prefers blond-haired boys still left me some gifts:

1. The protagonist always looks back at the situation behind him when he walks. What is he afraid of, what is he expecting, or does the director mean otherwise?

2. The film mentions the Iraq War many times. What is the director's point of view?

    2010-01-15, you just came back from Changsha, right? You bring back a box of Jessbon after you finish drinking two bottles of Heineken! I love you! The film replicates the blue camera and slow-moving narrative, the male lead has no acting skills, the girlfriend's acting is contrived, and a teenage skateboard murder case

    Gus Van Sant is so good at using long lenses that it fits perfectly with the narrative.

Paranoid Park quotes

  • Jared: Dude, we should go check out 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.
