About the movie "Little Men"
Maybe we were heartbroken, maybe we were relieved...
The helplessness, loss and anxiety of adolescence
In the rapid growth of reality, only a slight smile is left...
I only saw the love of Ira Sachs. At that time, I was fascinated by the full sense of life in the movie, the quiet and simple life, the feelings are soft and long, and I was moved by the love of the two old men... The little man and love are very strange. The style is the same, and some small sentiments are still slowly connected. Contradictions and conflicts are given enough buffer. In many cases, the life of the film makes me feel like an old neighbor who is not in the film, silent. Watching the joys, sorrows, sorrows and joys of these two families, when Jacob was playing inline skating through the small park, the afternoon breeze mixed with the smell of sunlight and mud, stroking my face, as if Jacob had just passed by my side. I caught the smile between him and Tony...
The story is about two families. The sensitive and restrained artistic genius Jacob has a frustrated actor father and a busy family psychiatrist mother. Tony who is rebellious and free and loves acting and his faceless father may be working desperately in Africa, gloomy. The anxious mother ran a sluggish clothing store... The two families were connected because of the death of Grandpa Jacob, and Jacob's father became the new landlord of the Tony family. The ambiguous friendship between the two boys quickly heated up and became best friends. At this time, the two parents had conflicts due to their actual economic interests. During this period, the conflicts between the parents and the children broke out. After a brief period of anxiety and resistance, the two boys separated with their parents' decision. Perhaps meeting again is just watching from a distance...
The scene where Tony and the acting teacher practice liberating his nature is particularly interesting. All the students and acting teachers on the scene are acting in their true colors. It is very real. I can’t help but think of all sorts of ugliness in my acting class in college. happy.
In the director’s Q&A, at the end about the title Little Men, the director said that it actually refers to every character.
A digression, Jacob and Tony look like emma and little evan (this pair looks like an engagement, poor little Kuai Yinha), I silently look forward to CP for a long time!
