Youth is actually composed of similar elements, it is imprinted in everyone's life, People have different forms of life, but youth is always full, sensitive and full of tension.
The film shows the youth of the protagonist Mia from several different lines. The fish tank is a good name, full of desire for freedom.
First of all, mia's character is bohemian. The first shot of the film is when she walks to the window after exercising and calls a friend to leave a message, "Kelly, what's wrong, this is the third call, I apologize, don't you? You know me The mood is bad now, I was so angry at the time, call me back, bitch.", the brief opening has already explained the main character of the character and her situation. Anxiety, ego, loneliness, hormonal secretion, the smell of youth has begun to permeate. Then she started looking for this friend on the phone, and then we saw that she was conflicted with her peers, not gregarious. After that, the camera turns to the clues that run through the whole time. Horses are also the key to reflecting the characteristics of the characters throughout. Even though she has crossed the most critical process of growth in nearly 120 minutes, this characteristic has not changed, that is, sensitivity, and such Sensitivity also gives birth to love, which is a hidden instinct.
Mother, an indispensable character in youth movies, is also a key influencing factor. A mother's behavior determines a child's attitude towards the world. Seeing the first five minutes of mia, it's not hard to imagine what kind of mother and family environment she has. It can be speculated that she comes from an incomplete middle-class or lower family, and her mother either ignores it or has a weak personality. Sure enough, my mother is indeed a woman who loves freedom. The act of holding an adult pa at home and not allowing the daughters to leave the room completely shows the ignorance of this woman as a mother. One of the most abundant qualities of pre-adolescent or adolescent children is curiosity. Such an order can't isolate the daughters from the adult world. She does ignore it, but it can't be said to be completely. At least in the end, she tries to make Mia special. In school, she feels that "education" is still needed, but the concept of education is still very vague...
The mother has a new "friend" connor, a friendly man who seems suave. He was like a dose of chicken blood injected into the family, never belonged to or really participated in this family, and was eventually excreted in urine.
The ideal
mia loves to dance, and the most she dances is a little bit above average. Of course, such imperfections are the embodiment of reality. Not necessarily everything that appears in the movie is bullshit. The real flaws and reality are really attractive to the movie. one of the powers.
Conner's encouragement was initially repelling to Mia. First of all, it is because of her inferiority complex. Although she seems to be showing explosive power everywhere, the inferiority complex and lack of security in her eyes are obvious, and such inferiority naturally gives birth to conceited expressions, which is also one of the characteristics of youth. The second is not accustomed to, in the play, the mother never gave any encouragement. Her normal state is smoking and drinking, and it is not difficult to see her middle-aged sexual desire erupting like a wolf like a tiger. The organization of adult pa, stroking her head, and forgetting to close the door during sex are the best explanations. So living under the same roof with such a mother, plus having been expelled from school and having a background of characters who are at odds with her peers, Mia is obviously not the type who is used to receiving encouragement and praise, so the initial rejection is normal. But this kind of encouragement is especially useful, even when it appears that the other person is rejecting it. After Mia had the idea of participating in the competition, she only told conner that she was actually encouraged to be addicted, and she wanted to hear the voice of support. When the conner encouraged her to participate again, the smile on Mia's mouth was a stroke of genius, and it was so natural that her inner drama was "I just want to hear this". Passing the first test, this is natural.
Reality
First of all, this movie is still very realistic. Basically, there is nothing special about it. At most, it is just a colorful bubble, and there are all dirty and messy elements. A child who was fired, a child who smoked and drank alcohol, a child who went to a junkyard to steal parts, a mother who drove an adult pa, a mother who had sex with her child, a man who had sex with his lover's daughter... The best is probably conner's Family, beautiful wife, beautiful baby, big house, but this beautiful "family" is also under the lie, this is the colorful bubble, it will burst when you poke it, this belongs to reality.
Conner went out with Mia's mother, a half-old milf, and had a blast with her fifteen-year-old daughter, and then walked away, and the mother and daughter were probably just two small spoils on his prey display case. But after he went out to eat, he did not forget to go back and be a good father. From the point of view of a sweet wife, this may be worthy of "rewards". Mia came back to him with a girlish heart, but found the man's real role, and then she took Kelly away. I didn't know what she wanted to do at first, but I looked at the progress bar and believed that she would not kill the child, otherwise the movie will be longer ...watching her run with her I think she probably doesn't know what to do herself. Before kelly played scooters back and forth in front of mia, maybe it was just an impulse to take her away. Until the close-up, the child kept kicking her, then was thrown into the water, and finally was fished up, and the two embraced. I think this hug means a lot. From the child's point of view, this is the reaction after being frightened, a trace of gratitude for the person who saved her, and Xiao Jiujiu who thinks "I'm making trouble and she might kill me". Among them, I am more grateful. After hugging, you can leave without lines, but the director added a child and said it was cold. Mia said that we should leave quickly. This is also Mia expressing love to the world and recalling the previous plot. , it can be seen that she is a master who does things without considering the consequences, bumping people's noses, tearing up the admission notice and throwing them out the window, but her nature is kind, maybe when she was crying or expressing dissatisfaction when she was a child, her mother Her reaction was similar, cold treatment, so she subconsciously made such a more extreme reaction, just throwing it into the water and saving her. She may have thought about what to do with Kelly, but the moment she fell into the water awakened her instinctive compassion and redemption, and sent her home. And conner caught up just to slap her and slapped himself, especially about "you know i love you", he just fulfilled his desire to conquer as a man, for example, from the beginning he Saying that this child has a very attractive personality, it is true that this unruly prey would be a very nice thing to keep in his display cabinet; for example, when making love, he asked Mia, "Do you have such a relationship with that boy?" Do you feel it?" This naked desire to conquer... When Mia touched his true love, even if it didn't endanger her life, his reaction was to slap you lightly, you bitch. He didn't think about really helping her, and he didn't really love her.
The reality is that this mild-mannered "good man" is like this, and the reality is that even if he passed the preliminary round, he was thrown off the stage of the rematch because of this man. This rebellious girl is a young girl. The most impressive thing
about the longing and expression of love and warmth is the dance of the mother and daughter and the hug of "I hate you" and "I hate you too" when saying goodbye to the sister. The mother gave birth to them and turned them into harmony.
People like themselves, their essence is similar, for example, the mother said, go away, what are you waiting for, and then they dance together. Three mothers and daughters who need love, fall in love in this way.
Mia persisted in trying to save the horses, but she didn't come to the truth. The horses were not starving, but were old. When she knew the horse was dead, she hugged her leg and cried alone. The death of the horse she once wanted to save was a pity in itself, but she learned of this poor thing from the emotional hurt that was stimulated by the uncle. thing, so I burst into tears. In fact, it is always lonely, whether you can stand it or not. She befriends the boy of the same age who tells her the truth. The expression of the relationship and affection with the boy is, in most cases, the experience of puberty. The shyness and shyness that meet eyes in the dance studio is a must experience in youth, but Mia had an uncle in her heart at that time, so such a little goodwill became a tool she used to stimulate the uncle. Eventually the horse died, the boy's car was assembled, and they went to Wales together.
About the name
fish tank.
The only connection with fish in the film is when conner takes their family to the wild, and then catches a fish from a dead pond and mia, then sticks the fish on a branch, and finally the fish is eaten by the dog. This is the end of the real fish after it came out of its "fish tank". And this incident is also a clue that the fish in the fish tank of mia are sprouting before they mature. The fish tank is a simile and a metaphor. In the end, my sister asked "Are you a Gypsy?", like a mystery, maybe this will be a wandering.
Out of the fish tank is the sea? Not necessarily, it's the future anyway.
