School students will be silent when they watch this film, and graduates will cry when they watch it.

Graduation season is just around the corner, and many students who are graduating will surely reminisce about the years on campus in various ways; when it comes to graduation, many people just mention the key points such as "dream", "youth", "inspirational" and so on. Words... However, there is one thing that everyone seems to have not thought of: when you face the cold and cruel reality in front of you, do you still have the passion and blood in your heart?
In order to make up for the blank of the topic, this time, I would like to share with the graduates by recommending "Frances Ha".
The film's screenwriter and star Greta Gerwig is the director and screenwriter of "Miss Bird" known to more fans. Except that it is not black and white, "Miss Bird" can be said to be in the same line as this film in terms of expression. But what this film shows is more than "Miss Bird" - "Miss Bird" only shows the troubles of learning and life faced by young people in school days, while this film shows the students who are about to graduate and The problems that young people who have graduated will face - a series of confusions in employment, income, love, friendship and so on. These questions are more general and can also form topics that resonate more among the audience.
Whether it is "Frances Ha", or "Miss Bird", which starred in and directed, they all focus on telling a person's experience at a certain stage in a realistic tone. Although the content of the story is complete, apart from personal experience, it seems that there is not much ink on the background of the story, and it does not reflect more interaction between the protagonist and the society in the film. The film completely tells about a person's experience, but there is no more revelation, so it also lacks more thinking space, just a bottle of clear mineral water.
But who says mineral water can't be drunk?
Although there is no sociality in "Frances Ha", it also reduces the difficulty of understanding for non-native youths with similar experiences. The experience of the protagonist in the film can also be established in China, which is its disadvantage as an American story, but also its advantage as a film discussed by Chinese people. There is no flood of chicken soup in this film, no struggle experience of twists and turns, but directly shows the most common state of young people who are walking out of the campus at present - confusion, ups and downs, and trance. Not all boys can live as "XX partners", and not all girls can live as "youth", but all young people who are tired of life will more or less have such a stage. So how should young people deal with this stage of life? The change in the attitude of the protagonist at the end of the film may provide an eclectic direction for audiences of the same age as the protagonist.
In addition, "Frances Ha" is also the gospel of gold music control. In order to reflect the literary and artistic feelings of the protagonist, the film also interspersed a lot of golden songs. In addition to David Bowie's "Morden Life", Hot Chocolate's "Every1's a Winner" and other songs, many outstanding films of the French New Wave period ("Ancestor and Zhan", "The Four Hundred Blows", etc.) match the soundtracks and pictures It's also easy to come by. Even if the film is just a sketch like mineral water, it is these beautiful and classic episodes that bring a smooth look and feel to the film.
