"Betta Fish"
I still like this movie very much, I will classify it in the column of "Water Knife", little fun + little genius artistry.
Audiences like to see people who are more stupid than themselves on the screen.
The suspenseful soundtrack, the sluggish performances of the characters, and the dreamy words make the film have a mysterious temperament.
"If you want to be a leader, you must at least know where you want to go."
"California is like a beautiful and wild drug addict, excited like a kite floating in the air, thinking that she is above the world, but she doesn't know that she is dying."
When explaining the philosophy of life, it is accompanied by a more radical concert to grab the audience's attention and give the audience a sense of enlightenment. With more in-depth lines, the film will be upgraded to a new level, and there is a sense of director who sees through the universe.
He can do whatever he wants, but he just cannot find what he wants to do.
"Betta Fish" is the director's free experiment on personal style, with Hollywood-style sloppiness and angularity and an intangible hot charm, the director is too immersed in extravagant black and white images, highlights and Mickey In Locke's melancholy eyes, the film is also caught in a state of aimless rambling. But on the other hand, "Betta" captures the confusion and pain of youth, like a betta trapped in a fish tank, so gorgeous but has nowhere to go.
The director integrates different elements, and through the transformation of colors and the use of montage techniques, the film presents a narrative effect that is completely different from the drama, bringing more surprises and thinking to the film, which to a certain extent avoids his films The aesthetic fatigue caused by too much emphasis on logic also allows the audience to get more opportunities to participate, thus forming a unique cognition and understanding of the film.
