Can't write a short review

When I played the fourth grade video at the end, I thought it was an emotional climax scene like "I and Earl and the Dying Girl", but I didn't expect it to end there. I almost didn't expect it, and I thought it was not an appropriate ending point.

But the subsequent ending piano music seemed to be an outro, the emotions suddenly dissipated, and there was a sense of looking back. The real skateboarding street youth mid90s is a sad memory.

The white-black boundary disappears. The street belongs to all street teenagers.

A few shots are very good-looking. For example, between the two highways, teenagers flew by on their skateboards in the wind. Or a long shot of fuckshit walking into the house to get the wine and come out again.

The story itself is very simple, but what is a bit confusing is that the director seems to have no deep ambitions on the basis of telling the story. The feeling similar to "Miss Bird" or the grander "Boyhood" disappeared.

But maybe this story is suitable for this group of children when they reach middle or old age, each recalls in different places, there used to be a common skateboarding years, and the ending video is saved in everyone's backup. It is very easy to think of it as the ending song. Touching.

In addition, Lucas Hedges is really sexy, why there are so few shots.

(But because I don’t know much about American culture in the 1990s, I don’t know why the director didn’t intercept campus culture clips at all and put them all on the street! The process of learning bad by the little boy hhhhhh)

"Kiss by a ross" was playing in the restaurant at the beginning, ah ah ah ah, I like it so much! ! ! !

The characters of mom and elder brother are a little bit less portrayed! Few characters have a sense of lack! But if it is explained that this boy was not paying attention to his mother and brother when he was 13 years old, he would be able to explain it, but he was not very friendly to the audience and lost the sense of looking back.

I'm so long-winded...
