This is a small-cost independent film that Cate Blanchett participated in in the Australian Village. The whole film exudes a strong urban-rural junction temperament, the actor's strange Australian accent and the earthy style, plus the ubiquitous The Chinatown element tells the life of a group of drug addicts who are struggling at the bottom of society. Such a gloomy subject matter is moved by the real performance.
Cate plays the little fish. She lives with her mother at the age of 32. Every morning her mother will accompany her to swim and wait for her to be handed a bath towel on the shore. It is not that she can't take care of herself, but that her mother wants to make sure she stays away from drugs. The former stepfather brought drugs to the family, but now her mother can only guard her and her brother. This kind of life makes her feel aggrieved. She just wants to get a bank loan and sell the video store where she is currently working as a small boss. But because of the credit card fraud case, she runs into trouble everywhere, and no one around her can help her. , The boyfriend who had been separated for four years after returning from overseas looked dignified, which gave her a little hope, but soon discovered that he was still dealing in drugs with his brother. In the face of such a desperate life, it is the easiest thing to sink again, but she always swims like a small fish in the turbulent current. She never touches drugs again, even if it is for her stepfather who failed to detoxify to return to the familiar Going to buy goods in the dark corner of her, she could not restrain her addiction almost only so much. She did it out of love and sympathy. Although it was this person who caused the tragedy in her life, she did not show a trace of resentment. , Because they are all victims of drugs. Desperate, she chose to take the risk and take the money from the store to participate in the drug trade. In the end, her stepfather used her own death to terminate their destiny and leave a legacy sufficient for her to start her small business. Early in the morning, she came to the beach with her boyfriend and younger brother with the body of her stepfather. She jumped into the sea, still pure as a child.
This story is so true that everyone who has fallen longs for rebirth, but falling into reincarnation seems more difficult to resist than rebirth. Cate’s performance is amazing. Her ordinary face is the kind of person you will not pay attention to when you meet on the street. Her cynical and unruly look is what a bad boy should be. She is inferior and nervous. The injury left over from drugs, she pretended to be nonchalant in the face of her former lover but couldn't conceal her inner joy. It was very distressing to portray this role into flesh and blood. All in all, she abandoned all star auras, completely integrated into the role, and was convincing. This kind of performance was completely worthy of another Oscar, but because of the low explosion of Ao Village, Hollywood and most of the audience completely ignored the movie. .
