American Flower Growth

A calm narrative, no dramatic ups and downs, the 12 years just slipped away like this. It is impossible to say that there is resonance. This is the growth process of American flowers. We have seen one or two in various film and television works. This one has been integrated, and those dramatic conflicts have been removed. I believe it should be relatively true. world.
We can see all kinds of experiences that are very different from our childhood. Parents' guidance on children's outlook on life, little rebellion in adolescence, and understanding of gender in adolescence. Instructions for young people from teachers and employers of part-time jobs. Camping with my father, the coming-of-age ceremony for graduating from high school and going to college. Mom said, my task is done, you guys have grown up and left home, I'm going to move to my own apartment instead of such a big house. This is the process of the Western-style coming-of-age ceremony, and at the same time, the mother still has the emotions and sorrows of all parents when her son leaves home.
Our childhood, our upbringing is so different from Western or American flowers, we won't talk about which is better or worse. Seeing that what we often see in movies is the necessary process of American education, and we also feel that the differences in culture, consciousness, and tradition are really wonderful in the process of our education growth. Knowing that there are Soviet and British versions of the post-80s growth documentary (haven't seen it yet), I believe it is also the accumulation of a generation, an ethnic group, and a culture. When someone takes a picture of Chinese growth, we may cry too.

    berlinale2014.Day8. Everyone loves Linklater, a super sincere work filmed in 12 years of history. But when it comes to catching a bear, I still prefer "Cross Station".

    The gimmick is greater than the content, and giving Four Stars is just grateful to the director's 12 years of dedication. But this is really not a good movie in my mind. After 120 minutes, I'm just thinking about how it can't be finished. The mediocre life and running accounts of the American family simply make me unable to feel substituting. Maybe Americans will have a self-projection. I don't know if the Chinese and Turkish scholars are very excited.
