British director Frank Rodham's "Light of Youth" ( also translated as "Quad Personality" in 1979) shows the multi-faceted aspects of young people in Britain in the late 1970s, in which motorcycle culture is mixed with the hippie Beatles , to hang up the young man's depressed appetite. Youth walks with fierce horses, and the madness will disappear after the madness, so there is no need to worry about it. Pain is always part of growing up. The picture of the movie is very particular and very quiet. Long lenses are used more often.
Since the beginning of 50 years, the United Kingdom has produced many influential youth films, especially the themes of the helpless and helpless young people at the bottom, which have always given us a lot of precious echoes.
While Martin Scorsese was editing his first film , "Who's Knocking on My Door ," Jim McBride's debut, "The Diary of David Holzman," was also in the edit. Both films have the same mix, the same simplicity, and the same juvenile. The application of form permeates it, which is often the preference of young directors, especially when they have enough energy to shoot their first work, they often become form first due to excessive force.
Even so, as Scorsese said, there would be no Mean Streets without Who's Knocking on My Door. This speaks to how important the first film is to them. A few years later, "Goodbye Alice", we saw the increasingly mature Scorsese, and "Taxi Driver" has become an unsurpassed classic. The most interesting thing is that "After get off work" in 1985 allowed us to see extraordinary creative, weird and terrifying images.
This is completely different from the exciting light and shadow of "Raging Bull", "The Last Temptation of Christ" and "King of Comedy" after the director. There is a fundamental difference between a thousand people and a thousand faces. The so-called ever-changing is inseparable. Change is just an illusion, and the constant is the lens that is always quiet as before.
