The boy is beautiful, but the plot is too literary

A boy with a good family background and a happy family, because life was too smooth and lacked passion, he chose to use drugs to stimulate himself. For the sake of his son, the father went around to find out about his condition, and to find his son who was on the street after taking drugs. He even bought drugs and came back to experience the effect for himself. The beginning is very good, but the middle plot is too cumbersome, the whole tone is too flat, there is a feeling of lack of climax. In the first half of the story, it seems that the story is being told from the perspective of my father, but in the later part, it became chaotic, even a bit like a hurry. After getting along with the family warmly, Tiancha suddenly relapsed, and the time for the boat drama was too long. . Even if his son relapsed, he would still go to the streets to find him, obviously his father still wanted to save the child in the novel, and obviously the children had asked him for help. But in reality, he is suddenly so ruthless towards children. The stepmother's existence was a bit transparent at the beginning, but I didn't know why I suddenly rushed out to chase sweet tea, and I was a little confused.

There are several points in the story that I like very much, that is, the phrase "Everything". The story behind it can show that the father's love is like a mountain, and the relationship between them is difficult to cut off. When I arrived at Tiancha, I saw the novel written by my father in the study, and the last sentence of the beautiful boy was really touching. Another is Tiancha playing with the sand on the beach with the younger son. The younger son said that the sweet tea is still the same sweet tea and has not changed. If I had sweet tea, I would also be very warm.

Finally, I really want to know what Tiancha wrote before committing suicide, after all the director gave that picture for so long.

    The sweetest dad in Hollywood today + the most exciting boy

    There are some moving moments, but more often it is a sense of withdrawal. Many things are too superficial and clichéd. Because it was adapted from two novels, the director wanted to express two perspectives, but sometimes it caused a lack of connection between the characters. The whole film is source music, without any scoring. At the beginning, there was scoring, but the director and editor felt that it was not attractive enough and had no strong meaning, so later I used source music (but I think the scoring people you are looking for are not good enough...). However, the use of source music is really unpleasant, too much drama and too deliberate. It seems that the director has not yet adapted to the way of working in Hollywood, but the director sometimes looks pretty cute when he doesn't understand the problem. By the way, my tea itself is so thin, and I actually lost 20 pounds before shooting. It hurts.

Beautiful Boy quotes

  • David Sheff: Do you know how much I love you? If you could take all the words in the language, it still wouldn't describe how much I love you. And if you could gather all those words together, it still wouldn't describe what I feel for you. What I feel for you is everything. I love you more than everything.
