Ruined youth

The memories of youth are different, but it is easy to find the same feelings, or biting pain, or faint grief, resonance appears so easily, so even though our youth has no drugs, no same-sex love, no sex, There is no suicide, but the feeling of liking someone secretly, the feeling of confusion and loss, and the feeling of struggling between not wanting to do it and having to do it are all so real, so Laura, Sean, or Paul, Just another form of self, another extreme self. Nowadays, youth is gradually passing away in ignorance, and the person who liked it at the beginning may not be able to think of the appearance, but the little pain and great bitterness have been standing at a certain angle and refused to disintegrate.
The filming method of the movie is very unique, and the use of lens inversion is more, just like watching the video tape before, rewind the tape and watch it again. As a result, the character incident flashes back to the scene, stops and then moves forward, tells you a story based on the unclear impression just now, waiting for you to realize it. I especially like the process of Laura and Sean meeting at the teacher's door. The two cameras appeared on the screen at the same time. After a few conversations, the page flipped and pulled the two on the same plane. Suddenly, they felt very warm and sweet.
Sean’s big face is impressive, and the camera is always pushed directly in front of his wide and narrow face. After that, you can only wonder why someone’s forehead can account for one-half of the entire face.

    The over and over narration made me feel dizzy, and the erotic desire and temptation made several young people in the film dizzy. Of course, the rewind narration in the film also makes people have a unique charm. Don't be frivolous and despise young people

    No time to care about the messy life of young Americans. The effect of rewinding the film at the beginning is the only bright spot.
