Why is it called a fish tank? I'm still not sure. In the end, if the girl's departure is compared to leaving the fish tank, I doubt that this is something worthy of applause in growing up. It gives me the feeling that the younger sister in the movie looks like a girl when she grows up, and the girl has experienced the ideal Be it shattered or stumbled upon a man, the departure after this series of events is more like what their mother experienced when they were young.

I think the environment of the girl's life shown in the film is not detailed and convincing enough. The lack of a father and an irresponsible mother must have such a character and life, and it is worse than this. In a word, as a two-hour movie, the amount of information is still a bit small. With this handheld tracking method, the information density should be high, otherwise it will make people lose patience (refer to Darney Brothers and Green Meadow movie). However, there are still some ingenuity worth pondering. For example, Fa Shark took the sleeping girl back to the bed, took off her shoes, took off her jeans and covered the quilt, etc. A series of normal actions, looking through the girl's slightly open eyes and angle, it is full of ambiguous behavior , interesting; and the last scene of the mother and daughter dancing to the song is also very interesting, without saying a single line, but we can understand that after going through so many things, the girl may have some understanding of her mother. Before leaving, Her conversation with her mother is finally no longer full of gunpowder, and I think it's great to understand "growing up" from this perspective. Regarding the white horse, I am more inclined to it is the incarnation of the girl, she wants to save it and also save herself, sending video tapes, revealing her heart to the shark, and the final death is also a symbol of disillusionment (they recruit showgirls!) , One-sided love fails.

The growth described in many youth films is the so-called breaking free from shackles and pursuing ideals, which has something to do with growth. The word "ideal" has been seriously given too many beautiful colors. It is actually nothing special. Your ideal does not mean that you are superior or your soul is more noble. It is just a little secret and hobby in the heart of people. Success or failure in life, I used to think that people without ideals were sad, and now I feel sad for who I was at that time.

    How can the highly realistic and casual "performance" not be regarded as a college student's dv film or a random shot? A camera with excellent latitude, lens position and stable handheld, flawless Foley and ADR from start to finish, extremely natural scene scheduling, careful scene selection, and finally the art is very important. Lots of backs. This kind of film, the protagonist's expression is too difficult to grasp. The whole realism, suddenly there is an important MCU shot in slow motion, which is beyond words.

    After reading "Fish Tank", I thought we all swam to the sea, but in fact we just jumped from a fish tank into a bigger fish tank. Why is the pain of youth, the pain that doesn't look like pain, and those that are sensitive and break when touched, are always so similar and strong. This night, how many girls who have lost their love began to become women, and the flowers can bloom all over the bedside. As a boy, how many sleepless nights and how many rolls of paper do you have to go through to become a social person? The answers are blowing in the wind.
