I just watched this film, and it gives people a depressing atmosphere in general. It may be that the film involves divorce, rebellion, domestic violence and other related complexes. Dwight, a man who doesn't want to make progress, in the film, under Dwight's love offensive and a woman's sense of drifting through constant changes, the marriage is made overnight, and the contradiction is buried. Young Xiao Li is a 19-year-old rebellious teenager , I think the film is more of a true character, showing a mighty, fearless, free-spirited little ruffian standing at the street, smoking a cigarette, spitting, speaking genitally, looking around from time to time This is the so-called ruffian, but these habits make Old White see it. In order to repair Xiaoli's ruffian, there may be more young masters, and the son is sick. After all, it is also incompatible with the current family atmosphere. Let Xiao Lizi do nothing, and then find a job delivering newspapers, sign up for the "Boy Scout" club, etc., but these are nothing, Xiao Lizi wants to get the money he earns, and does not want to be barefooted on the basketball court. I was ridiculed, but I was rejected by Old White righteously, but it also reflected Old White's meanness from the side. The angry old White even secretly threw my application form into the trash can. The conflict escalated again, and I was even more convinced to leave. This ghost place, until Xiao Lizi officially got the offer, the fuse broke out, and Xiao Lizi and his mother finally left after a scuffle with Old White.
In fact, if you pay attention, you will find that the director does not want to narrate the problems of juveniles in divorced families only, but more by revealing the incentives for the problems of juveniles in divorced families, and discovering the contradictions and conflicts of different people, families, and society, and then involving politics. Position and awareness, etc. In the film, the mother joined the campaign group in order to support the Democratic Party Kennedy. Of course, Old White is a Conservative Party (Republican) and must stop it. This is also the difference between the two parties in American politics for many years of governance. Therefore, the film is not only an art field, but also reflects the mainstream values ​​of the United States in different eras and is bound with political appeals.
