"Brick"

This movie makes me feel very much. Although the characters in the story are all high school students, the actors are young and the appearance is fair, but this is very different from the so-called school youth movies I have seen before. It is not artificial. Don't show off or be stupid.
The first shot made me fall in love with this movie, the sad background music, the pensive male protagonist, and the female corpse floating in the ditch. The subsequent plot development also followed this tone-calm, dark, and mysterious.
The main characters are very simple and neat, and there is no boring plot like pushing and letting, so the rhythm is very fast, some places flash past, and the director deliberately removed a lot of comments, which made me a little trance.
At the end, I laughed when I heard the MotherFucker whispered by Laura whispering for a long time, and secretly praised the performance.
