Looking back, Mia lost her friend at the beginning. Although there is no way to analyze whether the other party is precious or dispensable, losing itself is already a pain of youth growth. Having said that, we haven't added her personal background: a single-parent family, a coquettish mother and a rough girl, a difficult household without much protection. Growing up in this environment, it's really hard for Mia not to become a Taimei. Her personality was basically established in the first five minutes, habitually swearing, impulsive, irritable, direct violence, and doing nothing. Such a girl seems to have established a strong defense mechanism that can counteract the stimulation and damage from the outside world one by one, but this is also destined to be alone and out of gregarious destiny.
When Mia returned home, the camera scanned the decoration and furnishings at home, and it was even more messy than usual. The person on the edge turned around and asked, the subsistence allowances in this capitalist developed country are not much better. I quickly nodded and said that the people who are suffering from the sky are all in one family.
Mia is not much better at home. The three of them are like hedgehogs, living together in the same den. They are too close to protect themselves and have to stab each other. Those vulgar words that are considered to be indecent are used vividly by this family, and there is no need to consider the differences in the objects of mother and daughter or sisters.
While on the road, Mia saw a white horse tied by an iron chain. The old white horse's hair color is not very good, and it does not seem to have much vitality, but Mia outside the fence is sturdy and moved, and she wants to let it go. Why, not why. Some people say that this white horse is a little too imaginary. In fact, the fish tank is even more imaginary. From beginning to end, only the fish can not be seen in the tank, and the fish has been pierced into the intestines alive. When it comes to the white horse, you should always think of the previous Xie Jin's work exhibition. When it shows the hero and heroine falling in love or the time is good, the white horse will appear in good time and fly gallop. So, does the white horse in "Fish Tank" perform this function? The imprisoned and enslaved youth is getting old and will not escape death in the end?
Of course, the problem may not be that complicated. The white horse appeared only to bring out a friend of Mia, the stupid guy who repaired the car. If she wants to fall in love with someone, someone must act as the bottom line, giving her room to regress when the love fails. Because based on this girl's temperament description and love experience, the probability of her success is zero. From the perspective of the drama, assuming that there is only the character of the opposite sex ("Shameless Bastard": the last bastard is Michael Fassbender), the whole movie will have a natural structural imbalance. Therefore, in the process of interacting with the demeanor man, the white horse can only retreat temporarily.
The hot and cold between Mia and the demeanor, in fact, has nothing to do with not seeing the light. On the contrary, this situation is common in a short-lived adolescent love.
In order to reflect the changes in the girl's feelings, "Fish Tank" used audible breathing and gasps several times, and the two people were close physically and closely connected. In addition, dancing in person, showing one's own side, these are the symbols of two people taking a step forward. The interesting thing is that Mia teaches hip-hop by herself, but her level is really not very good. However, Feng Dunan said that she is great and will succeed. It turns out that this is also a lie.
The previous cooperative fishing and foot wounds all have overtones. If you start with specific images, the fish, feet and water all contain private emotional information. She will look for the other person's figure, voice, and taste in the dark, and she will fly out and chase without stopping. These are the external characteristics of youthful love. When Mia discovered the secret of the demeanor, she once again came to the river of youth. She still vented verbally and became angry from anger, but this time no one came to teach her how to do it. On the contrary, she had to take action in time to rescue others. However, just as the water is irreversible, Mia has to be careful not to be swept away. After chasing in the dark, she was panting again, waking up with broken dreams.
On the road to adulthood, Mia discovered a huge gap between her real thoughts and the world around her. Some people say this is the inevitable result of class inequality. The dress she is accustomed to, the street dance she likes, the man she loves madly, are in fact so unrealistic, her bravery and pride are vulnerable and defeated, just like crying eye makeup.
Andrea Arnold used the technique of hand-held camera follower, Mia has a wind-like pace and a temperament to admit defeat. After a series of depression and pain, the director left the brilliance of female characters at the end. You can think of this as being positive for good, perhaps it is also compelling to jump out of that invisible fish tank life. [Beijing Youth Daily]
