never ready

Re-watched Gus Van Sant's Paranoid Park. The movie basically has no climax (this is the usual style of Gus Van Sant), basically a fifteen-minute short film is
enough to explain the plot. However, the director seized on the feeling of confusion, confusion and loss in his teenage years, some childish feelings that are trivial in the eyes of others, but Gus Van Sant shot a beautiful scene that lasted for an hour and a half. Come.

This Paranoid Park is ostensibly just a gathering place for a group of young people who love to skate. However, under the author's wonderful design, it contains the hope and yearning for growth, as well as the restlessness and suddenness of growth.

Gerry said, "Let's go to Psychedelic Park together on Saturday."

The protagonist Alex said, "I'm not ready."


Gerry said, "No one there is ready."


We were never ready.


Those precious firsts happened unprepared and became a habit in an instant.

Find yourself a badass before you're ready.

When you are not ready, you find yourself used to trading your soul for money with your time.

I was not ready to find out that it was just such a thing.


In this way, we passed through one level of unpreparedness and became who we are today.

See yourself in the mirror


Isn't it a miracle?

    It turns out that this is a gay story... Gus Van Sant's picture is as beautiful and edge as ever, and the music is also endowed with a flowing beauty. Wouldn't it be a bit monotonous if it was just a director who kept repeating the same plot?
