See the truth of life and continue to love it

After watching this movie, I shed tears because it was so real. The childhood of young people in the small town is really as happy and joyous as in the movie, and when they grow up, it is inevitable that they will go away from each other and become unfamiliar. Liu Bing's documentary is to show all of this truthfully in front of us, and all analysis and explanation will become weak under the fate.

Of course, Liu Bing also tried to explain fate. Domestic violence is an inevitable topic in his growth trajectory. Keire loves and hates his father, because his father's domestic violence accompanied him throughout his childhood, and his soul is relaxed only when he skates. But Keire's tears at his father's grave are so real, there is no absolute right or wrong, all actions are just the truth of life. And good friend Zack has become the new "violent". He is the kind and happy skater boy in the camera. How could he hit a woman? Then this is the truth of life. He tried to explain his behavior, but in the end he could only say "fuck". I can't explain it, people are so multifaceted, life is so fucking, and some people fall into the abyss without knowing it.

However, just like a brilliant life, Keire, who lost his father, and Zack, who left his wife and children, still smiled and started to move on, sliding on to the next stop of life with a skateboard. I hope we can all, like these young skateboarders, travel freely and happily on the skateboard on the road full of obstacles and challenges!

Minding the Gap quotes

  • Keire Johnson: I feel like life might be moving too fast.

    Zack Mulligan: We have to fully grow up and it's gonna fucking suck.

  • Keire Johnson: It would kind of be like a drug in a way. Like, I can seriously be on the verge of having a fucking mental breakdown, but as long as I'm able to go skate then I'm completely fine.
