I really like to listen to the British accent, although the accent of this small town makes me sound a little strenuous. fuck-fork, especially Terry has a strong accent.
Andrew Garfield's smile can be bright and shy, and sometimes wretched and neurotic. He is just boy a. The performances of the entire actor group are naturally real.
The photography of this film is also quite special. The foreground and the background are mostly blurred, which means that all the focus is basically on the characters. The way of shooting the dialogue between the characters is also very special. The composition is refined and the picture is extremely clean. And the photographic trajectory is also very penetrating. The background is basically monotonous and full of form. The wide-angle shooting allows the characters to occupy a small proportion of the picture, which looks very depressing. This makes the visual texture of the whole film very light, empty, and concentrated on the character body. On the one hand, it refines the subtle muscle changes of the character, and on the other hand, the external changes reflect the character's awareness of the objective world.
For the plot, the narrative is very neat, basically interspersed with reality and childhood memories. I like that phillps, he looks a bit like a hillary swank when he was young, with sharp eyes. In fact, the dissimilation of human body and mind by a miserable childhood is a very old subject, but it is often used uncomfortably. Because human compassion is a universal and long-lasting emotion. And the poor eric (Jack's real name) in the same life experience tends to be closed in heart, but longs for love, and the outgoing philip can just make up for the void in his emotions. It can also be regarded as an example of inadvertently making friends, or that there is no absolute right or wrong in many things. Some people's inherent violence, apart from genes, is the shadow of childhood. They did kill a girl, but the girl was not a good bird, hypocritical, can be regarded as killing her to punish her, but they committed a bigger crime. Throughout the killing process, we can see that it is impossible for Eric's character to take the initiative to kill. But philp is his partner, friend, and only childhood emotional sustenance. If I were him, I would also help him.
After adulthood, Eric changed his name to Jack and re-entered the society.
It so happens that the new friend in the factory is also an extroverted buddy. He takes him to dance, pick up girls, drink and take drugs outside. In fact, introverts sometimes need these chemicals to release their long-standing needs. Jack is a typical master who hits high with a single blow. This is a good thing, at least he discovered that he has the potential to become high, and of course, he also has the instinct to pick up girls.
Get a new love, a new job, in order to save a little girl in the town newspaper. It seems that everything is beautiful in the new life.
Unfortunately, this is not a normal movie.
The past is indeed over. But history is history, and no one wants to erase it.
He is a nightmare, a nightmare that cannot be eliminated. If you happen to be a completely unshadowed person with physical and mental health, you may not be able to understand what lingering shadows are. For those who have had this kind of experience, they should be able to understand boy a's situation very well.
Finally he stood by the river, watching the letter written to him by the rescued little girl.
The jack (eric, boy a) in the letter is holding a knife (because he used a knife to save the girl, similarly, the murder committed in childhood was also a knife), with a pair of wings drawn on the back. The girl said:
this is your knife, this is your wing.
He has an angelic smile. But he was also a murderer at the same time. And always will be.
Who will forgive boy a.
He chose to die, it can also be said that he chose to die for the dream, die for the nightmare that will exist forever as long as his consciousness still exists.
Also want to talk about the music and editing of this film.
The editing and shooting methods, some of the gus van sant style, are particularly delicate, with a sense of texture and air. I can use high-speed photography and close-ups to show people's skin, hair, and beauty. The editing rhythm is also very comfortable, and it matches the performance rhythm and the music.
The music is even better, simple and minimal. The most heartbreaking thing is that even if there is a joyous theme, it just started, and there is no in-depth development of the melody theme. This music is just like boy a, it just saw hope, but stopped abruptly.
Five stars are not enough to express my inner love after watching this movie.
