Drew barrymore is a director! Former child star, once hot girl, now director and producer. She is all too familiar. The cute little girl in "ET", the hot and skilled hit girl in "Charlie's Angles" (Charlie's Angels), the delicate and pretty girl in "Fifty First Loves" For the touching romantic comedy, the extraordinary singing skills in "K Song Lover". Now she has launched her directorial debut "whip it" (roller skating girl), and overall the film is well done.
First of all, I want to talk about the starring ellen page Ellen Page, who was born in 1987 and is a child star with Barrymore. Ellen Page is known to me and has participated in movies such as "Sin in the American Pastoral" (will be attached later. The heroine in the real American child abuse case in the movie review), the perverted girl in Hard Candy (please allow me to say this, because I really can’t watch this movie halfway through, I really can't accept such a movie. I hope fans who regard this movie as a classic can treat it tolerantly, after all, everyone's appreciation personality is different), the pregnant unmarried little girl in "Juno", I think this movie Ellen Page is a relatively normal work, playing a positive little girl. In the end, I gradually got rid of my prejudice against her and cheered for her role. Hehe, let’s not go so far, let’s get down to business, let’s start talking about this movie.
This movie should be regarded as a movie of youth, comedy, love, and growth. The protagonist of the story, Bliss cawendar (played by Ellen Page), lives in a small town in the United States. Bliss's mother, Bliss's mother, has very high expectations for her daughter. She wants her daughter to win Miss America through beauty pageants. In the beauty contest, her friend Pash's prank made her look ugly and lost. Bliss is a shy, timid, and weak girl on the surface, but she is brave, strong, and punk-loving at heart. The girl of music is just beginning she doesn't know it yet. A chance to shop with my mother bliss saw a group of avant-garde, elegant and happy roller skating girls promoting their game, Bliss showed envy and love, she was moved, and cheated by "colluding" with friends After watching the game, Bliss found the roller skates that were in the box a long time ago, started practicing roller skating without telling his parents, and reported his age to join the women's roller skating team, and began to like this brave, exciting There are also some fierce sports, no doubt Bliss is the youngest girl in the team, most of them have married. It is worth mentioning that Barrymore also plays a member of their team in the film, and the performance is poignant and energetic. Bliss has also exercised her courage and strength through exercise, competition and dealing with these people. Although not the best, her life is happy and fulfilling, which is exactly what she wants. At this time she also met her love. However, I personally think that when this film involves two important themes, Bliss's growth and transformation, and love, it better grasps her growth and transformation but fails to grasp the richness of her love line. Yes, her love story is a bit mundane, nothing new.
Bliss has played two roles since she liked roller skating. In life, she is an obedient, timid, and obedient daughter who listens to her mother's words. In her roller skating world, she is brave, fast, energetic and ruthless. . The story has been moving forward gently, and most movies don't just tell a flat story, but the plot is cleverly designed to tell a turbulent story that resonates or marvels at the audience. This movie is no exception, the twist of the story is an accident during their game, her friend gets caught, and her parents find out about her. Facing the test and contradiction of family and friendship. She had a big fight with her mother, it was like a typical homeschooling, the mother wanted her to learn, win beauty pageants, get a good job in the future and not want her to be with those roller girls with tattoos and swearing . Usually in China the mother wins over the child. But in the United States, children will beat their parents, and parents will slowly understand their children and support what they like. They will treat their children as friends, respect her, understand her, and rarely force them to do what they want. At this time, the misunderstanding of friends made Bliss helpless. Fortunately, she and her teammates persuaded him not to hurt his parents because he fell in love with roller skating. In fact, they can have both. Parental reflection stage. Affection is a bond that never ceases to be cut. At this time, she discovered that other girls were wearing the clothes that she and her boyfriend exchanged when they parted, and she experienced the first setback in her life: lovelorn. The mother began to give her confidence and arms, the two began to have a real dialogue, and the two began to understand each other. The mother didn't blame her daughter for her brokenheartedness. What the mother gave her was self-confidence and courage. The family relationship has been reconciled, and then the misunderstanding with friends has also been resolved, and the friendship has been resolved. In fact, the daughter is not the embodiment of the mother, the same stubbornness, the same bravery, as the movie said, "a fighter for life!" The ending of the story is more conventional, and the father supports the daughter. The father found his daughter's teammates and went to the daughter's beauty pageant with them to receive the roller skating competition. At the last moment, love comes back to her side again. It turns out that the previous sadness was just a misunderstanding. Love slowly trusts each other in romance.
Falling down, getting up again, this is where I am deeply moved! I cheer for this strong girl. Although you will fail, cheer for your failure! we are number 2 ! Get up and move forward bravely.
The film tells a simple theme, a simple story, and a good theme movie!
Photography is quite normal, and both static and dynamic are used relatively well.
In short, as Barrymore's directorial debut, it is worthy of praise, well done!
