"Twentieth Century Woman" is a typical American independent film, with free shooting method. Although it is not the main theme, it also sees light. The director writes and directs himself, the script is good, the so-called free shooting method lies in the freedom of categories, the freedom of characters, the freedom of behavior, the freedom of thought, and the freedom of language. As a result, the film becomes independent, and the personality is also immediate. Hollywood's mass-selling movie production has long been boring. In addition to the slow-paced and profound philosophy of European movies, American independent movies are outstanding. The St. Denis Film Festival in the United States and the New York Film Festival continue to let new directors and independent directors have a way to shine, gain recognition, have funds, and go mainstream. In 1994, Quentin Tarantino's "Pulp Fiction" was born, and the road to art could not be cut off. The movie is the director's window, and the script is the director's voice. Personally, I love the fragments of these life-oriented movies, about him, about her, about adults, about growth, everyone, the story of growth, and those experiences that make them grow today. For yourself, let freedom continue, let your will be free and unbridled, even if your head is broken and blood is broken, you will go on your own way. Five characters, mother and son, two tenants, and a girl neighbor. The mother thinks that she is not completely sure to educate her son successfully, so she has the interaction between the tenant and her son, and then affects her son's growth. At the beginning of adolescence, a single-parent family, the son is confused and confused, and the family and life seem to be trying to be different, so it becomes a mess. The mother is also worried, but she is helpless. Isn't her youth also come from trial and error? Fortunately, the characters in the movie are not lost. Although they are indulged, the pain and joy, care and love in life make life sunny. Well, this is not bad. The endless return is still warm in the end. , go hand in hand. Once his son and friend Julie ran away from home and found it later. The son said to his mother, do you need to find Julie to appease me, so that I can't get along with you. To be honest, mother, I just don't want you to be in a situation like mine. I want you to live a happier life. I don't think I can take you well by myself. The son said, no, I think so, just the two of us. So life returned to normal. Maybe this is life, about you and me, I can't break free, but there are surprises everywhere.
