A few words about "Ginger and Rosa"

This is not a good movie, but it is a very detailed movie. The meticulous thoughts of the female director are expressed in too many places, and Xiao Fanning also played a lot of amazing performances in the many details of this movie. First of all, the divorce of parents has put Jin Gil in the movie in a relatively special environment, so the spiritual pillar of her life has become special-her father and her best friend Rosa. My father, a full-fledged literary and artistic youth, was decadent and unruly, but he gave Jin Jier full encouragement to pursue what he wanted. What Jin Jier got from his father was freedom of thought and passion for dreams. Rosa, as Ginger’s best friend, has become Ginger’s source of family energy. Two similar girls frolicking and rebelling together, participating in their favorite clubs, pursuing things that have nothing to do with them, but This is what made Jin Gil fill in the lack of family from the friendship.

But the story of the movie is often so like to tease the protagonist. When these two seemingly unrelated spiritual pillars collide and fight together, Jin Gil, who relies on their laziness to survive, is faced with collapse and helplessness. When Ginger finds that her father is with Rosa, her helplessness is inevitable, and her collapse is inevitable. In a crying scene near the end, Ginger tears through tears, which is her unfairness to life. The protest was also the emotional vent that she had endured for a long time. She was just a girl who should be wandering in the flower season. The many things in life are too much for this young heart. And Fanning proved herself here with her unprecedented performance tension. It was during the development of such a simple story that the director used two things to render the feelings of the hostess vividly: The first is the color. Before everything happened, Ginger was immersed in his small life circle. The color of the film is full of sunshine, simple and warm. These colors have plated Ginger’s life with a layer of sunshine-like golden; however, when the father and friends were discovered, the color of the whole movie began to change. Dim and desolate, only gray and black can be seen everywhere, full of helpless hesitation, just like Jin Jier's heart, full of helpless fear.

The second is the sound. When Ginger is still enjoying her simple life, the background music and surrounding sounds are docile. Simple music is just like Ginger’s life; similarly, when things are discovered, the music falls apart. No existence, full of noisy noises, just like Ginger's mind, noisy and disorderly. As a result, the delicate side of the female director is fully demonstrated. But fortunately, after everything calmed down, Ginger started looking for hope again. This is another commendable detail-Ginger’s poem. When she found her father was with friends, she was dimly unable to see the future and was helpless. She borrowed her mood from poetry, so she wrote a poem about "End of world". When everything subsided and a ray of sunlight shined through the window, Jin Gil's mood calmed down. She gradually let go of her guard, as if willing to slowly Looking at it later, I wrote a poem about "Future".
