The most overlooked category

This director should be a very independent director (well, I got a Wuthering Heights in the middle). From the fish tank I've seen before, in connection with this movie, the central character she described is a type of girl who is likely to be extremely hated by ordinary people in real life: victorious, uncomfortable to hide selfishness, jealousy, personality and worldview are never possible Fixed shape-----The last second was crazy about the magic of money, and the next second I returned to the little girl’s princess world fantasy; it is difficult to distinguish between the vulgar sensuality and the passionate romance, which lacks intuitive observation and comprehension of human nature, and I don't understand the wisdom and subtlety of the world, and I don't have any extraordinary talents. In a word, it's stupid, uninteresting, and not well-behaved.
Lack of self-recognition and positioning, and will not pretend to cooperate with others, or pretend to consider the feelings of others.
Moreover, it is more deadly, not beautiful, but not reconciled to mediocrity-----because they also want to gain attention and success in the secular world of brushing their faces.
Sometimes you feel that they have a vicious vigor in them, always biting close friendly people, sick children.
This is a role that most directors don't want to touch, because this role is neither glamorous nor charismatic that arouses people's identification and empathy. Filming is as capricious as Hong Sangxiu, and he dare not let such a woman be the number one. This involves Hong Sang-su's male perspective.
From the perspective of criticized patriarchal consumption, women are not beautiful, which is the original sin, and when women grow old, it is also the original sin. This is especially China.
I prefer to regard this film as a female growth film. A woman who is unwilling to be self-enclosed, unwilling to be kept in a fish tank for a lifetime, unwilling to know herself through the mirror of the outside world. She can only break herself into pieces bravely-most likely she has to pass and a man. This courage is very rewarding. This is also the real experience of transcending gender, a person's struggle, hesitation, and panic with the world and others in the process of finding one's own position.
Returning to the movie, to sum up, in another poor, wandering but naive America, we have seen the kind and rude sway, fierce and compromise in her nature, and we have seen her in the muddled spiritual world, forever It’s impossible to judge the pros and cons of the little girls, this is extremely real, and even at a certain moment, it is ourselves.
The film’s photography is particularly accurate. The turbulent background and the heroine’s straight and unyielding nose, noisy and sometimes boring, hollow, and sometimes passionate music set off, sex occurs in the dark night and outdoors, and there is a kind of dazed consternation and tentacles. The cold illusion that is not as good as that.
The two men who have physical contact with the heroine in the film, one uses a sexually hungry wolf howling as a signal, and the other uses money as a bait.
At the beginning of the film, she ignores the younger siblings behind her and embarks on a journey resolutely. At the end of the film, she bought food from a supermarket for a young child in a drug dealer's family.
By the way, the lyrics of the "Dead Kennedy" band are very refreshing in the film. It kills the children, or the ignorant children can crave it. In the cold world, there is a place where you can live, and it is also in the heart of the heroine. It's confused.

    The taste of youth is bitter and joyful, and it is more about seeking the direction of life. After "Fish Tank", Arnold picked up the theme of youth again. After changing the background to the United States, the rhythm is also more lively. Hand-held photography narrows the distance between the audience and follows the protagonist through the United States, truly experiencing the unease and restlessness of youth. A new film that surprised me, the soundtrack is a big plus, I like LaBeouf more and more~
