A movie I like very much~ some messy text

The beginning of the movie is very humid, like the mood of the heroine SARA, and it feels like the tune in "Mona Lisa's Smile". This is also a story about growth and dreams, but it is more cordial and simple. The director's use of color is very low-key. The most shocking comparison is when SARA stepped into that slum school for the first time. There were people of the same age with different skin colors, but the difference in skin color did not prevent the communication between souls. I originally thought it was just a romance film with a gimmick based on race, but found that the director gave the film a deeper connotation.

The tone of the film is very stable. Most of the works describing the lives of black teenagers are extremely prone to extremes. Often one or two extreme shots can change the style of the entire film, and the flow of a few eyes can give people a very uneasy feeling. This film made me feel uneasy in vain. The same is true. It uses a more tender way. There must be many cruel truths in the past narrated by DEREK. The fight in the bar shows the fierceness and determination of the young people... The viewer imagines the space, but never makes a fuss about it, so there is such a warm youth film.

Because of dance, love sprouts directly between two people. It is probably only when they are very young that they can play so unscrupulously and listen to the most essential call of the soul. I always don't like the female protagonist who is like a greenhouse flower, so I appreciate the vividness and recklessness of SARA. Although in the black world, he is very courageous, has a bright and upward attitude, and dares to argue and refute. When she and DEREK were practicing dancing, it was my favorite part. There was a feeling of isolation. All the disturbances outside were gone, only music and dance, and pleasant conversation.

Getting a good role often means more than participating in a big production. KERRY WASHINGTON, who plays the DEREK sister, is also the number one assistant to JANE in the Smiths, but the performance of this unmarried mother is obviously more dazzling and unforgettable. The character image is very full, the enthusiasm and honesty towards friends, the love and hate towards the father of the child, including the last outbreak in the hospital, make people feel that this is life, a life that is not too happy, but will always exist. . The description of racial discrimination in the film, apart from Malakai and Nikki's unclear ridicule, the most direct is Kerry's anger at Sara in the hospital. Although this is more to promote the development of the plot, it is still very powerful. This is the best definition of anger, but it is not annoying. I would find it strange if an unmarried mother who may have just grown up can handle her pressure very sensibly. The film made her vent her pressure on SARA. What did her friends do for it? Is it used for such use?

I really appreciate the director's last few clues interlaced expression methods, because the relationship between the plot is not particularly complicated, but one night, the lives of several people from now on, just like this truly appear in front of people's eyes. Compared with making the protagonist constantly make wrong decisions or go astray in order to create conflicts and conflicts, DEREK's performance is the most credible. The hindrance of love and brotherhood made him temporarily lose his mind, but in the end he told his good brother not to retaliate, and stopped his footsteps. Otherwise, a boy who is about to go to college will give up his great future because of his loyalty. In fact, he has no imaginary future to give up. By the way, running shots always have the power to conquer me in an instant.

SARA's last dance made the corners of my eyes moist. Although I basically have no appreciation, I also know that the dance is a little bit green, but there is a real persistence and hope for life in that dance, which shocks people, at least, it is the hearts of young people. There is also music. When the girl's singing began to appear, and seeing SARA's living limbs, thinking of her dream of setting sail again, I was deeply moved. It's as if we were once youth, lost, fragile, and angry, but finally, in the end, we persisted to the brilliant finish line.
