I remember the men around me said that only men can really understand the story of this boy's growth.
I can’t say no, but it’s still my favorite movie in Movie Week.
So that I took three shots with the camera.
First, the red balloon with the mouse hung slowly to the moon. The little mouse is the secret of james' pain. James can't get rid of in reality, only released in fantasy. This naive fantasy is impossible for an adult.
Second, the panoramic view of the wheat field blown by the strong wind. James is also a watcher, and the wheat field is the only place where you can escape reality. The gale blew through unscrupulously, like his unrestrained heart.
Third, James pulled the hole in his sleeping father's foot before committing suicide. Prior to this, he resisted his father's majesty like all boys, and even scratched the shoes his father bought him. But the "hole" james between the two generations finally chose to pull it well. This detail is really uncomfortable.
These three shots have been reverberating in my mind, and at the same time there is a rotten breath of Glasgow.
Because the whole movie is a poetic unfolding in the ruins, everything is corrupting, and the child is still growing. This is the most deadly problem.
Lynn Ramsey, the director who has been committed to children's movies, is a woman. Tribute to her.
