I don't know if I understand it right or not, the film should be a narrative of modernity, the loss and collapse of the center. The kinship in the family is obvious and doesn't exist at the beginning of the film; for love, Star passed the gift that Jack gave her to others, and put the turtle that Jack gave her back into the water, they both have similar dreams to have There is mutual affection, but at the end of the film, it does not tell us what the ending will be between these two entangled men and women, whether they will be together; friendship, I think even if the heroine stays in this group for a long time, there is no such thing as Fully integrated, there are many shots of Star sitting in the corner of the cramped car, and I don't think Star has gained friendship, and those young people, in my opinion, it is more like a kind of vitality and publicity, a kind of group carnival, A kind of "anxiety hormone"; another point, Star left the family to work in Kansas, but her job was just to buy magazines, and the end of the film did not say whether her dream would come true, Star (not only Star, but also in the film) other girls), unlike some of the film's female characters, who choose to return to the act of dominant cognition through some self-restraint or sacrificial act (like "Charlotte in the Traveller"), where Star and others Girls are still on the move, on the move, and have not opted for a decent reputation that conforms to cultural norms. This film has no center.

    Not giving one star is a forgiving lens for the cheap Ins style. The lens is really good. The film is probably the same as the heroine of the story. She doesn't even have the ability to sell well. She only has an arrogant heart and self-righteousness and pretends to be presumptuous. Silly white sweet love is regarded as a youthful repentance of devotion and awakening. American sweetheart, what can you say about it? Envy such youth? what? Less fucking fake and silly!

    That kind of dirty, dusty, running and jumping aimlessly and worrying about wearing shorts, a vest, and a small green skirt. 120 hours of material, pure documentary shooting techniques.

    Star: Not really.

    Krystal: OK good. You're hired.
