But compared with the latter two, the teenager Hal in "Rocket Science" has more self-awareness. The girl in "Little Sunshine" travels in the company of a family, and "Napoleon" (in fact, this movie is relatively mediocre) has always been a bit muddled. However, the young Hal in "Rocket Science" has a process of awakening, from the pursuit of identity to the pursuit of self.
"Rocket Science" has a very interesting point of view, a debate competition among middle school students. The debaters were eloquent on the stage, boasting and talking like politicians, they didn't even know what they were debating. As long as they win, they don't care about true right or wrong. They are as hypocritical as the adult world.
In the adult world, although there are no debaters, they are equally incomprehensible and incomprehensible. Hal divorced his parents. Hal's father leaves the house. What my mother said was to leave the box, it was a pair.
In this world, Hal doesn't want to say a word, because he has a serious stutter, and he can't say what he wants to say, even if it's just a slice of pizza for himself at lunch.
But he was hopelessly in love. This love drew him into the debate team.
"Rocket Science" is not a youth inspirational film. The audience will not see how Hal overcomes his stuttering, how to win the debate, and how to win the favor of beauties.
Here, Hal's love is actually an ugly conspiracy of beautiful women. Hal couldn't overcome his stuttering no matter how hard he tried. He tried hard to participate in the debate, and will be kicked out of the game because of a procedural issue.
However, Hal's efforts moved everyone. His value is simply not measurable by a debate game. When everyone was babbling incomprehensively, Hal was able to stammer out what he wanted. When debating for abstinence, which he did not support, he said, "As for supporting abstinence, the reason I can think of is that love is more special."
Then his reason will soon be submerged in many sophistry points.
Hal is always looking for a more special love, his stuttering makes him look ridiculous, and his failure is doomed. However, when he hit his head and shed blood, he didn't make people feel pitiful. His father said that people will stop looking for answers to everything when they grow up. If there is a difference in you, let me know. Hal said, I will. At this time, people will not feel that Hal is pitiful, but will pity themselves.
No one can tell the answer in their hearts, some people are because of stuttering, and some people are because they don't have the answer in their hearts.
The movie language of "Rocket Science" is quite vivid and delicate. From the beginning, the two scenes separated by 46 profits are very attractive. Although most of the shots are silent, they have their own moving power. Many scenes are very creative, especially the Kamasutra section.
The actor's performance is good. He is usually very insensitive because of stuttering, but his anger has been hidden behind his calm appearance.
