After watching this 1983 "Betta Fish", I have to sigh that the biggest tragedy in life is living in an era that does not belong to me at all, and I can never play my role well, and the ending can only be self-destruction or destruction. The confused, lost, intoxicated, and confused young people shown in the film really have the feeling that they will never wake up after drinking a lot of alcohol. And the shackles of that era also turned those young people into fighting fish in the fish tank, struggling, fighting, and finally dying. Perhaps the only way out is to run to the sea like the end of the film, but that only exists in movies, and in real life, all we can do is wait for death. This is a movie about loss, youth, ideals, and direction. Friends who can't find the way can watch it. . .

Mickey Rourke was so handsome when he was young! The movie is also very good, super ignored~

The great director Francis Ford Coppola directed the sketch youth films "Little Godfather" and "Betta Fish" in the 1980s after successive failures of the blockbuster films. Among them, the latter has higher artistic achievements. This film is specially shot in black and white. Only when the fighting fish appears, the fish turns into color, and the image style is very vivid and strong.

Rusty James: What do you think California's like? Like all that shit in the movies. Blondes walkin' around, The Beach Boys, palm trees, the ocean. How was the ocean?
The Motorcycle Boy: I didn't get to the ocean.
Rusty James: No?
The Motorcycle Boy: California got in the way.
Rusty James: California got in the way? I thought California was on the coast.

Patterson the Cop: [regarding Motorcycle Boy] You know I really thought he'd left town for good.
Rusty James: Yeah? Maybe he missed YOU too much, man. Maybe he had to come back just to see you!
