"Paranoid Park" maintains the usual cool tone of director Gus Van Sant. The storyline is flat and slow. It refuses to be too dramatic and shows the original life of an ordinary teenager without reservation and modification. The performance of a group of amateur teenage actors headed by Gabe Nevins successfully assisted Gus Van Sant's realistic tone, making the film as natural and smooth as a documentary, and the gorgeous application of the lens fully demonstrated Gus Van Sant's personality.
The film adopts fast and frequent beating shots, and many places are accompanied by intense reproduction and freeze-frame performance techniques. The unexpected effects bring a stronger realistic impression to the audience. The use of shots and the content of the film complement each other
.
Van Sant superimposes a lot of music and video in the film, but the emotional sadness and trance descriptions of youth are somewhat out of control, and even lack the narrative effect of music
