The story itself is really not much new, and the quality of this kind of youth inspirational film is basically the actors. And Julie is the magic that keeps the whole play alive. She played the lonely, somewhat neurotic out-of-date actor, from the beginning of yelling and pruning the garden all by herself, to the triumph of swallowing the car keys when going out to camp, to the exaggerated performance of lying to Ben that he was dying. (I believe everyone except the silly kid in the movie should have guessed that the old lady was flickering.) When I was reading poetry in Edinburgh, I was so nervous that I couldn’t read a complete sentence. When I took Ben on the bus at the beginning of the film The shitty comments about Ben's sexuality, the nervousness in the garden wearing a veil as the fairy queen in "A Midsummer Night's Dream", and the ending of being woken by Ben and rushing to the mirror before running to open the door That cute little detail before you smear the lipstick twice... Really can't say you don't love her. Although it is still raining desperately outside the Mid-Autumn Festival today, it is still a good day for me, because I have found another good actor with superb acting skills.
Sincerely, Rupert's acting skills have exceeded my expectations. Although it is a role that shows him just passing his adolescence, to be able to be in front of the camera with Julie, who has been nominated for two Oscars, without appearing bland, also requires considerable control of the role. ability. It's just that his style in the film is relatively general~ Although I'm pretty sure that the style similar to Ron's has marketing elements in it, it's not really necessary in terms of the child's own performance, it can be used as the style design of another miserable green boy. .
Finally, let's talk about the movie itself. As I said just now, the story of the film itself is relatively stereotyped, but a shy and introverted child's pursuit of himself and what he wants during adolescence is a theme that will never be outdated. Those repressed hearts, so many budding dreams and ignorance and exploration of the future, make many people recall that green time again. So I think this movie is not made for teenage children, but more for a younger audience. On the storyline, I felt that the plot of Ben's depressing life was a bit procrastinated at the beginning, which made some viewers who were not so patient might want to change the film before they saw the essence. Others are handled well.
It's a good film. I'll keep it. If I encounter it in the future, I may buy a CD.
