My Own Private Paranoid Park

At the beginning of the film, the bridge hangs under the sky and stays in the frame for a long time, enough time to remind you of the endless highway and sky of Idaho in the opening of My Own Private Idaho. This piece is so gus van sant! Sound effects, long shots, slow motion, edge beauty. . . It's better to call it My Own Private Paranoid Park~
I never felt that gus's films needed in-depth analysis, starting from river phoenix, the blond teenagers have moved around~ The taste of gus, an old gay, is getting more and more pure and beautiful, but it is always lacking. The sadness with a hint of evil that I found in the river, it's just that there is no other river in this world. . . From the desolate state of Idaho to the gloomy campus among the elephants to the icy psychedelic park, there is actually only youth under the indifferent lens of gus, the lonely and painful youth of the marginalized teenagers~ The

nonsense begins:
the hard drive is being cleaned up recently. I haven't watched the film yet, the more I haven't watched it, the more I can't miss it (I downloaded it and thought it was bad and I will delete it if I didn't watch it), check the date, this film turned out to be the first time in early 2008 Just downloaded it = =||| I deeply admire my speed of watching movies. . . I didn't want to write anything (I felt poor when I watched the episode recently), but some "profound" film critics made Gus's film so in-depth and felt a little boring, and this film was actually related to the Iraq War. . . It's a pity that I have always been deeply moved by the superficial attitude of watching gus' films, and it resonates with it~
