20.11.01 Lin Xiang’s documentary can discuss too many points: three races, racial discrimination, urban decay, domestic violence (male, female, friend, couple, father and son), attitudes towards patriarchy, etc. In the end, it can even be concluded that a secondary line is the high position of white men in American society and the oppression of other races (mainly reflected in domestic violence). Because the director himself is also a skateboarder, under his lens, every skateboarding is not only smooth and gorgeous, but also becomes the self-healing of three skateboarders. When I watched it, I was actually thinking, when I encountered unhappy things, I would think "just go skateboarding", but after skateboarding, will everything else in life really change. In addition, as a typical case of seeing the big from the small, even editing seems to be very life-oriented. Starting from skateboarding, it slowly draws everyone's life outside of skateboarding, and then goes deeper to make contact with the environment of the entire society. , This is something I never expected. It can only be said that the last three people have a bright future. Living in the next generation without reincarnation is the best outcome.
