Unexpectedly, after watching Minding the Gap "Skate Boy", I had something to say, I love this film, I really love it. After watching it, I have the urge to learn skateboarding in 2019. The blood returns to the blood, and life is still life . Just like in a documentary, the teenagers go to the hospital for medical examinations, change their children's diapers, help their mothers pay the bills, and endure the elder brother stealing their own hard wages...

You have to deal with the shit life or you will get a leaky bag of shit life, though it is in fact.

The long shot of skateboarding at the opening must be said. It’s refreshing, and skateboarding is too cool. Of course, the premise is that you have mastered the skill, but you can also directly enjoy the wonderful performances of those professional skateboarders, for example, watch This Minding the Gap "Skate Boy" documentary.

At the beginning of this shot, I was amazed and curious, how did it come out? Is it a car follow-up? But how did those angles of speed turning and head down across the parking bar be photographed? It can't be a car, is it an AI drone? It should be a person, and this person has to be on a skateboard. Sure enough, the photographer appeared later, the skater boy himself and the director of Minding the Gap , it was so cool. The setting sun, the breeze, the street, the big long slope, and a few skateboarders, just like this, rushing and rushing, slipping and slipping, it's really beautiful.

Among the three skateboarders, Keire is the favorite because he loves to laugh the most and is the most sincere. I was angry and jumped my skateboard. I was so happy to cheer in the car when I wasn't going to work today. Described his father, and his relationship was tense, but after his father died, he missed him very much. In the end Keire went to visit his father’s cemetery. He just sat there crying and said nothing. After sitting for a while, he got up and said let’s go, like Nothing happened, love and restraint.

Zack is the one who is heartbreaking, laughing and joking, the coolest, the most unruly, the first to get married and have children, but also the most prone to depression. He himself said in the interview that when he is depressed, he just wants to make things worse. Until I die. But I have to say that it is so handsome to take a child to skateboard, including the beautiful skateboard on the wall at the end of the film, and then turn to the unfamiliar master and cast an indifferent look. He didn't stretch for an instant and laughed.

And Liu Bing, the photographer and director in his hand, is the most delicate. Otherwise, there will be no Minding the Gap . As an audience, you can only watch the leopard. After all, just like Zack said, it depends. How do you define violence, it's just that some people experience a little more than others.

During the face-to-face interview between Liu Bing and her mother, her mother said: "If you make this movie and do this interview, you can feel better, then you can." Finally, she couldn't hold back her tears. Also, when did Liu Bing decide to make these experiences into a documentary? It feels like a big game. The film material has been running through for almost 10 years. It’s amazing.

Whether it's a movie, life, or a person or something, it generally consists of two aspects. On the one hand, it is cool and cool. It determines whether you should continue to learn more about it, or whether you should continue to contact it. On the other hand, the inner core, the first door is opened. Are the flowers, green plants, sofa, TV, desk, and stickers in the door valuable? This value relies on truth and meaning, and it contains values.

In addition to the beautiful feathers, we can also sit down and chat together, and this is the most important, more than the first. And Minding the Gap meets the above two standards, coolness, and core viscosity, firmly grasping you until the end, and then you find that you love it more than you started.

The coolness of walking with wind is certainly beautiful, but in front of real life, it is like a bubble, it bursts with a light click, is kidnapped and destroyed, and is exhausted. The documentary has been tracked and filmed, and at the same time it is like a therapy. , To help you seek healing and self-exploration.

At the end of the film, everyone started a new life. Keire went to Denver, Zack paid for his son's alimony, lived with his new girlfriend, and Liu Bing's mother remarried. Everyone is depressed, fleeing, struggling, giving up, and persisting. There is still no answer, but one thing is that they are still skateboarding. Outside of work, in the streets, they are still skateboarding teenagers facing the wind.

Minding the Gap quotes

  • Zack Mulligan: Your whole life society tells you, like 'oh, be a man, and you are strong and you are tough and margaritas are gay' you know, like. You know. You don't grow up thinking that's the way you are. When you're a kid, you just do, you just act and then somewhere along the line, everyone loses that.

  • Keire Johnson: I feel like life might be moving too fast.

    Zack Mulligan: We have to fully grow up and it's gonna fucking suck.
