It's really a bad feeling to read the critics b/f watching the movie. It should come after your watching cause it'd strongly effect your opinion towards the movie
The story is intensive, all the events happened in 24 hours, which made me excited. Plus James's quite cool guy. Some may say it's a tragedy that he died in such a young age, but it is his good looking and early death made him a Hollywood legend, just as my teacher said "You'll never get the chance to see his old and fat image like Marlon Brando"
But to be honest, I'm a little bit fed up by this kind of "rebel or youth thing" movies, namely "A Clockwork Orange" (1972), "Trainspotting" (1996), "Ken Park" (2002), "Thirteen Princess Trees" (2006). Although most of the characters come from an incomplete family, with single parent, or even an orphan, they still have love, from this or that kind. To Jim, he has parents who love him deeply .To Plato, though a orphan, he gets a maid who sincerely care about him. Maybe the way they press their love cannot meet their need, but so what ?To me, as long as someone loves me that's enough! Why do they keep on desiring more and make the sense of insecurity dominate their life, even ruin them? It seems that our human being never know what enough is! It is ourselves make us unhappy.There is no one should be blamed on.
The movie truly refects the typical features of 1950's American society, with a well-going economy, which was a golden age for America after WWII. I'm not going to deny that there are no social problems, actually, where there is sunshine , there is shade. My point is can we just find a milder solution to figure things out?
Maybe I tend to simplify things what I see, but you have to admit that it's the secret to happiness.
