He's colorblind, he's a little deaf sometimes, and when people ask him what the world looks like, he says, "like a black and white TV with the volume turned down", which started when he was 5 years old . And he said to his brother, you will never grow up.

James' older brother is a legendary motorcycle rider. In the eyes of others, he is free and unruly and omnipotent. He once participated in a gang, and later declined due to drug exposure. He went to California to find a spiritual home, and after returning, he turned his evil spirits to the right, and he persuaded the drunkard. Dad quit drinking, he questioned his brother why he was doing nothing all day, he knew he was not a real hero. In a pet shop run by an old man, all kinds of pets are kept in it. Brother James often comes here alone, staring at a fish tank with a selfless expression. "They are fighting fish. If you take the partition off, they will fight to the death. I like their colors. I regret that I am colorblind." He is not colorblind. In his spirit, the whole world is black and white, but Douyu has color.

Everyone thought he was crazy, and in the end, he broke into the pet store and let his lovely friend go. He said to my brother, ride my motorcycle, along the river, to the sea. It was the last thing he did in his life to release the betta fish.

Fish are symbols of free life, they are kept in aquariums and thus become fighting fish. Youth is the most energetic and individual period of a person. After adolescence, many people have learned the old way, like a rounded stone. It is very rare to be able to maintain individuality. The individuality mentioned here does not specifically refer to rebellion or maverick, but a person's intrinsic intrinsic characteristics, which are colored things.

James is such a person. He has infinite admiration for his brother, and he wants to be an unruly knight like his brother. He is full of nostalgia for the fading gang, he fights to death, he skips classes and drinks, attends sex parties, he likes simple and pure girls, and sophisticated women disgust him. Just such a person, he has all the characteristics of rebellious adolescence, he wants to be like his brother, but friends say, you are not the same as your brother, because I can never guess what your brother is thinking, but I can easily understand you. In the eyes of friends, James is a bit naive, in the eyes of his girlfriends, he is a shameless bastard, in school, he is a genuine problem student, in the eyes of his brother, he will always be a child. And the character he has makes him an image that can attract audiences, and he is the hope that the film carries.

The friend James has known since he was a child, Steve, is an honest man, timid and serious, and there is no blood in him. People can live like this and live very well, but with James Standing together, the two are like a big cat and a mouse.

The film focuses on shaping the characters, and the three characters carry different spirits. Obviously, James is the center of the film. The most precious is nature, and the most cruel is strangulation. The reason why the fish fight is because there is no space for free movement, they don't belong here, they should go back to the sea.

At the end of the film, James rode a motorcycle, along the river, to the sea. Here, the waves are shining, the seabirds are gliding, and the sea is like a soft bed, allowing uninhibited joy to jump on it.

    The great director Francis Ford Coppola directed the sketch youth films "Little Godfather" and "Betta Fish" in the 1980s after successive failures of the blockbuster films. Among them, the latter has higher artistic achievements. This film is specially shot in black and white. Only when the fighting fish appears, the fish turns into color, and the image style is very vivid and strong.
