eyes coaster kid, like a whisper world black and white TV. He is colorblind and occasionally deaf. The entire film is processed in black and white based on his audiovisual standards. The sound is occasionally interrupted, broken, and echoed. Only the betta in the pet store has shocking red and blue, as if the eclipsed youth contains With extremely sensitive power.
Carboy is regarded as a legend by the townspeople, an unsurpassed idol in the eyes of his younger brother. However, after a few months of traveling where the speeding kid disappeared, he refused to be the boss again. He said that when the boss takes others away, he must know the direction in his heart.
Their youth has no direction, time has become the cheapest thing, the passing clouds like a white horse, the endless ticking of the clock, the constantly flipping clock notebook, and the bartender's ramble to himself: "Time is a ridiculous thing. , time is so strange, a person may have nothing when he is young, but he has enough time to live here for a few years and waste a few years there." The urgency of time in the film is intertwined with the ubiquitous fog. Together, they constitute the emptiness and confusion of youth.
Speed Boy's younger brother is young, he can't understand why his brother is fascinated by the betta fish in the pet store, and he can't understand why his brother insists on putting the betta fish back into the river. The brother said: "two betta fish in the fish tank will fight If one dies, they wouldn't kill like this in the river, because they all have enough space to survive." But when a gunshot ended his brother's life, he grew up instantly, his own image projected on the car window. The shadow has color, his world is no longer eclipsed, he finally understands his brother and finds himself.

Father and brother understand, but they have lost their youth and lost their ability to pursue. The younger brother didn't understand, so the older brother used his life to be the younger brother's teacher.
It's a movie full of metaphors, but not obscure, and while the plot is flat, it's charming. The performance of each character is excellent, the use of film form is familiar, and the camera, music, and editing effects are perfect. It is Coppola's underrated art film, and it is definitely worth watching.
