Try to understand an incomprehensible thing, which is surrealism

This is not an anti-hero movie, this is a utopian movie. The director has a good grasp of the state of the two protagonists, not from a moral point of view but from an aesthetic point of view, their partnership is very beautiful, but unfortunately it will not last long. The director deals with this proposition from a hypothesis that love is supreme, making it like a romantic film. The tone of the whole movie is extremely beautiful and dreamy, making people think of the appearance of the Garden of Eden, and the two protagonists have no shame and self-reflection. The obvious sign of this ignorance was that Kit had to look in the mirror and straighten his hair at the end of the chase, and smiled shyly when the police talked about James Dean. He had to flatten the tires until his death was imminent. Let yourself not lose face. The director is very understanding and compassionate, very realistically showing the understanding of adolescence. The biggest breakthrough of this film is that it was filmed entirely from the perspective of criminals, full of the ignorant poetry of young people at the bottom of the world, full of explanations but not a hint of criticism from the author's perspective. Love is the smallest anti-social organization, but it is a pity that you should not expect anything from it.

    James Dean, who is constantly appearing on the cover of the magazine and in the next population, can be seen to be closely related to "Rebellion Without Cause". The section of forest life has the usual naturalism since Malik, and the shots of the road films afterwards are full of poetry. The loss and mystery of the ending scene is really amazing. The protagonist is really Charlie Sheen’s father, no wonder I always feel happy when I look at it...#HKIFF#

    Malik's debut novel, poetic and picturesque shots, absurd and unpretentious stories of desperate mandarin ducks, similar to "Bonnie and Clyde" but with a diametrically opposite temperament
