maybe love is the only way out but you are just horny and lonely

There are two types of realistic movies, either depicting the fringe world to arouse your curiosity, or narrating the stories around you to make the audience feel more cordial. "Twelve" is such a contradictory film that combines the two into one—teenagers, drugs, shootings, parties, sex.

It is difficult to associate my own life with this group of American teenagers. After all, I am not a rich second-generation, neither taking drugs nor hanging out in nightclubs. I have a clean and organized life, ordinary and decent friends, and some decent hobbies. But I can always find a strong resonance from the hero's sometimes empty face, sometimes struggling forbearance, as if accepting a warm raindrop from the sky in my heart, the two merged without a sense of rejection.

How to describe that feeling.

I don’t know what to make up for the lost, just like Mike the white ghost, dropping out of school and selling drugs after his mother died of cancer.

I don't know how to dispose of my vigorous energy, so I call my friends and friends to gather together, and we will be happy till dawn at the party.

The lack of good communication between parents and children do not know how to remedy, so they indulge in drugs and paralyze themselves with hallucinations.

The neglect and prejudice against his parents cannot be forgiven, so he goes further and further on the road of rebellion, destroying all the glamorous lives with guns and ammunition.

...

Even if I cannot achieve their madness and determination, I can still understand their original motives to the greatest extent.

Lost, struggling, doubting, self-denying.

Lost, desperate, banished, resigned to depravity.

Disappointment in oneself and others in the world makes a raging fire in his chest, hoping to burn everything, plunder everything and destroy everything.

All the cruel, desperate, selfish, dark thoughts have existed so real and we are tacitly aware of each other.

So I always think about how to make my life better.

There is no answer.



At the end of the film, the film finally revealed its own shooting intention: we must live the best life we ​​can, abrupt and pale. A failure in a failure.

But it is the answer to my unanswered question-what is

really meaningful is not thinking about how to make life better, but trying to make life better.

Activists.

    The first movie I watched naked, why is this movie not highly rated, I think it's pretty good, the only sunshine in a big tragedy is the handsomeness of Emma and Chace, but what is more worth thinking about is the weakness of human nature, In fact, Americans are really not strong at all.

Twelve quotes

  • Narrator: [on Sara's death] As Sara lay dying, she thought, "This will be famous and make an unbelievable story once school starts again. People will be sorry they weren't here."

  • Narrator: So you're born in the capital of the world and you can never escape. And that's how it is because that's how everyone wants it to be. It is all about want. No one needs anything here. It is about when you wake up in the morning and the snow is already coming down and it's bright between the buildings where the sun falls but already dark where the shadows are. And it's all about the want. What do you want? Because if you don't want something you've got nothing. You are adrift. You're washed away and then buried under the snow and shadows. And when in the spring the snow melts, no one will remember where you were frozen and buried. And you will no longer be anywhere.
