I'm just watching Skate Boys

Just looking at the movie poster, I thought it was a Lord of the Rings sci-fi movie, so I didn't want to watch it.
On this stormy morning outside only one class, I somehow wanted to take a look.
Just because I saw skateboarding on the profile, but when I went to the movie, I found it was a gay movie, which was quite confusing.
Actually I'm just here for the skater boy.

I don't like Chinese translation very much, what psychedelic park, those translators have always been so bloody.

I thought that the European and American factions couldn't make movies with small sentiment and small details. I thought they were only interested in big scenes and heroic Hollywood style. When I was about to change my mind, the half body of the train staff jumped out. It was really ruined. I lost my small emotions. In fact, Gus Van Sant doesn't need such a flashpoint, but better grasp the rhythm and the emotions of the audience. If it weren't for this failure, I would have given this movie five shining stars╮(╯_╰)╭.

If you haven't skated before, you probably won't understand why Alex would rather stay in Paranoid Park and stare blankly at the group of skateboarders than have sex with his little girlfriend. I remember someone once said that every boy has a skateboard scene. Well, maybe, not skateboarding, but a restless, adventurous life.

In the face of real life, we are always confused and confused, just like a deep tunnel, we clearly see the light at the end, and we only know that it is hope, but there are spreading coldness on both sides. ALEX in Paranoid Park is deep in a tunnel like this, with countless thoughts pulling at his body.

While writing these words, listening to the song. Someone is singing in the song, youth is the age of innocence, and society is a game of harm. That's about it.

I just love skateboarding, I love Skate Boy, and that Paranoid Park.

    Gus Van Sant is yet another teenage film that makes you unable to extricate yourself. The director uses a large number of defocused and shallow depth of field lenses, handheld photography and close-up long lenses. On the one hand, the viewer is always close to the protagonist, a young man who is disturbed and disturbed because he has made a big mistake, creating a strong sense of immersion. On the other hand, It also shows the protagonist's self-isolation and isolation psychology. The soundtrack is also very blurry. Scenes and inner confessions of the young man alone using words to relieve pain are throughout the film, further eliciting empathy. In addition, since the core suspense is only revealed at the midpoint, the first half also has an emotional effect of alienation. The rambling and slightly disordered narrative time is also in line with the confusion in the young man's heart and the restlessness of youth. Many slow-motion shots and overexposure of a campus corridor are quite Iwai Shunji. Occasionally insert DV textured blurred recording images or wandering and slow-motion long lenses, showing skateboarding, rough and agile. Wonderful psychological externalization: Yuanjing Bridge changes between bright, dark, blurred and clear; a variety of mixed voices in the heart; the bathroom that is as long as the ancients has been upgraded to a long mirror, sometimes bright and sometimes dim, noise and birds and insects. (8.8/10)
