Previously, in the courtyard where her "Special people club" was forcibly demolished, parents were immersed in the scene of deliberately operating guests, while older brothers Mark and Misi played brilliant music and danced graceful dance steps, cleverly cooperating with them. The beauty and warmth of this middle-class family are perfectly displayed. She is standing in front of the window of the bungalow wearing a dress that does not fit, creating a sudden and confused scenery. It was night, she sneaked up and smashed the videotape with a hammer, and wanted to start with the extremely disgusting Misi. In the end, she didn't kill the girl like Coco in [Dream Traveler], so she sighed and lay back on her bed. In this film, there are many "transitions" similar to the book of juvenile delinquency in a little bit of progress, but director Todd Solandz seems to be more concerned about the fear, anxiety and melancholy before a teenager becomes an indifferent adult. Dawn had to endure many hardships in family, society, psychology and even sex at a young age.
In the picture of the family acacia in the filming step by step, Daun put his hand on his father’s shoulder and was lightly embraced by Mark. His smile was bright, and it was easy to give the audience "If she has growing up troubles, it is also sweet and sour." illusion. Back to the scene of a family of five enjoying the party video, parents sitting on the sofa with honey (the three of them are the auspicious "family"!), Mark sits in a round chair, sitting posture matching his future identity in advance, four People talked and smiled and recalled yesterday that she was chasing tomorrow, but she sat on the ground with her knees hugged in silence like a poor puppy, and this family portrait was hanging above their heads. It turns out that it is more appropriate to regard the real freeze frame as her daydream. She was originally a stumbling block to the dream of the middle class of her family. Look at the interesting original English names of the three brothers and sisters. Mark is deliberately outstanding and famous. Missy is undoubtedly a cute little sweetheart. You know what to go through before Dawn comes. When she left home and went to another school on the line, her situation was undoubtedly worse. The alternative item box covered with ugly pictures and bad words by the uninnocent classmates, and the "D-" grade and punishment awarded by the teacher without asking Qinghong, show that it is difficult for her to go to school to make a living for the ugly Betty.
Therefore, when Steve sang the lyrics of the neglected child’s thirst for love, Dawn immediately fell in love with him and regarded him as a life-saving straw. He did not understand that he was like the strong rock music itself, and only ran out in time. When she was in the mood, she wouldn’t stretch out her little hand and instruct her to grab and take her away—she had a good opportunity to spend time with him, happily preparing food for him, and the other party took the money on the table when she was not prepared, and then handed herself to the gourmet food. She gradually realized that she was just talking to herself in the air, her eyes showed melancholy, and she realized that the mirror was a charm, and all she could reflect was her unhappy, unfashionable, unbeautiful, and unpleasant image.
In contrast to [Dream Traveler], who took the initiative to completely close herself in her own world because she saw through the ugly faces of the people around her, the director did not portray Dawn as an alien who stands on the opposite side of the world. On the contrary, she is unhappy. However, she tried her best to face everything, but she could only express her emotions with retrograde thinking. This made her neglected and bullied by others, but also hurt her only friend. In the sudden details, the director did not have a crowd of demons against her. Mark was lost in the letter from his girlfriend when he strode forward, and her classmates were also happy at an upcoming birthday party. It is because the two sides collided in their respective real understandings of life that this film is sentimental.
Brandon, the "bad boy" who took pleasure in bullying Dawn and her weak and weak classmates, and was entangled with her by her soreness, also suffered more prematurely than her in this collision: there was a drug trafficking on campus However, the police and teachers did not investigate him and regarded him as a suspect. Compared with the police's mobilization when Ms was lost, children like him have long been included in the list of scum to be deleted (Raymond Carver’s short story "A Good Thing A Little Piece" In ", the poor bakers who are living hard and the middle-class couple who lost their beloved son become friends, "They talked until the early morning, the windows cast pale morning light high, they did not plan to leave." It is a pity that in this film, apart from saying. Well, no one wants to spend a poetic time with him-he used a knife to force Daun to go to the wilderness to prepare to "rape" her that he didn't understand. The soft picture and the opera singing, there is a kind of absurd ritual beauty. The two teenagers seem to be walking in a cold wonderland at the end of the world), the only choice they can make is to escape, and the affectionate kiss with Dawn before leaving is just like a kiss goodbye to Coco in [Dream Traveler] and Curly Rain in the rain, full Filled with the mutual compassion of two lonely people, but one is birth and separation, the other is death.
When most people struggle with adolescence, they have either thought about running away or have a real experience of running away (of course, it is a kind of stress for family members after hiding in their house for a few hours), but no one knows what is written in the diary. The thoughts of young people often become hurried traces that can be remembered and mourned in the future. Dawn summoned the courage to come to New York secretly at midnight, but to find the honey that was indirectly lost to her. He did not assume that some spectators were paying attention to her, and the family didn’t care about her whereabouts at all—she was overworked. I fell into a dream on the street and saw that I was brave enough to save Misi, and I was confessed by everyone’s love. I don’t know that my family members have continued to have a better life without her. She was left out in the cold for inquiries, which only made the interested audience want to change. Mother. After that, she gave a thank-you speech to the teachers and students of the school on behalf of her family, but she was still ridiculed by waves of ridicule. The sitting posture and position of a family of five when watching the police rescue of Mi Si, compared to watching the party video, except that Mi Si was held tighter by parents, unchanged, and the one hanging on their heads is still the same. It seems a harmonious family portrait. Immediately afterwards, she followed Mark to the kitchen and asked timidly about the "growth secrets". She was ready to play a proper role on the stage of life-I can only pray for her secretly. There will be a glimmer of light in the 8th grade. Into her life.
