Meaningful

Many times when we watch movies, we shouldn’t look at something with the attitude of researching. Researching with your own understanding will definitely make you misunderstand the movie.

This movie doesn’t tell any profound truths, there’s no big reversal of the plot to kill

After watching this movie, what I think of is the beautiful childhood memories of my childhood. Those old memories emerged before our eyes. We are in China and we can’t understand the culture of California, but we also have connectivity between us.

My childhood friends were skating together in the park and playing on the street with two-wheeled skateboarding. Secretly followed the older children to the water world to surf, followed the neighbors’ children to explore the small wasteland, and went to trick or treat, smashed the fire hydrant, and stepped on the rubber hose. We are not rich either, but we smile every day in our rented small bungalows of more than ten square meters. There are things in every corner of the white iron basin with red flowers, the red and purple bedding, and the old-fashioned sheets and mother facing the camera. Take pictures and so on

Now it’s really beautiful aftertaste, everything from the past is indispensable

If someone who has similar experience like me can appreciate the true meaning of the movie, everything has a sense of beauty

The little male protagonist was born in a single-parent family. His brother is violent. He is insecure, so he wants to find friends. He thinks those skateboarding kids are cool, but his mother thinks these people are hooligans who dare not take serious matters. In China The same is true for some parents who will tell their children not to be with the so-called cool children, thinking that it will destroy their children, but parents don’t spend time with their children. On the contrary, those cool children treat them sincerely.

Children are very simple. You are good to him and he is good to you. You like him and he likes you. They don’t care about other people’s opinions. They are kind and brave.

The protagonist in the movie is such a child, and there is a reason why those cool kids are so cool. From the movie, you can see that they are not bad. The protagonist is very small but is not treated specially.

After watching this movie, I feel beautiful

    Like last year's "Miss Bird", this year it is the boy's turn to pay tribute to his wild years. Jonah Hill used sneakers, skateboards, and music full of the imprint of the times (music is a bit abused), catalyzed by alcohol, pills, and strong hormones to complete a good first test of director. It's just that there are too many stories about "stocking" teenagers in recent years, and it is inevitable that they are aesthetically tired.

    Is Jonah Hill going to challenge the F Word record of the Wolf of Wall Street? I understand his thoughts of trying to shape the character's character in terms of lines, but after all, there are only swear words left, and he is too weak when he needs connotation. Committed the old problem of American youth films just to record rebellion. The original sound is pretty good. In fact, it’s worth talking about why the puzzled teenagers choose to skateboard. This year, it’s much better to talk about the documentary "Minding the Gap" of such a group of teenagers.
