(Translation)
Hallam Foe, won the 2007 Berlin Golden Bear for Best Music. The music is really great. I like it very much. After playing Billy Elliot, none of the films he's taken have been made for him, one that revolves around him, and this Hallam Foe, he finally got a chance to show himself to the fullest. He played Haarlem, who closed himself up due to the death of his mother, lived alone in a tree house, refused to communicate with others, and only wrote in his diary. The withdrawn, paranoid, crazy, fearful, and childish behavior of teenagers during this period, Jamie did well. The pressure from the outside world and himself made him desperately need a breakthrough. At this time, the appearance of Kate, a woman who looked like his mother, made him addicted. He followed Kate, peeped at Kate, searched her house, etc., and his behavior was very perverted, but Hallam's eyes showed a pure desire of Oedipus. When Kate was undressing in front of him with wine, he even covered his eyes with his hands and dared not look directly at her. On the one hand, it is his Oedipus, and on the other hand, his infatuation with Kate makes him unable to extricate himself, and his emotions are complicated. It will eventually develop to the stage of making love. He walked out of the closed space, everything was so beautiful and happy, but because his parents came to him, he was brought back to reality, especially the last sentence of his stepmother, which made him completely collapse. , he tied up his stepmother and threw it into the river, when he walked back to the shore, when he calmed down, he turned around to save his stepmother,
at this time he also got rid of the demon that had been occupying his heart for a long time, and stepped out of the predicament, finally grown up. The five-year appointment with Kate is actually more of a comfort after a breakup.
The whole film revolves around Hallam, he drives the rhythm of the film, Jamie's performance is so wonderful, I ignore his a little fat face, hunched walking posture, but pay attention to the one he plays like him Hallam, who is also in puberty syndrome, cares about what happened after him, what happened to him. At the end of the film, his relieved smile in the neon background is so handsome, it makes you feel as bright as him. I think he has shaken off the past and is on his own path.

    Although there are no exceptions in the appearance of sexual scenes among the objects of Hallam's peeping, it is clear that he is not seeking physical curiosity but seeking love, so that in his physical contact with Kate, he is also seeking that long-lost maternal love feel. At the end of the film, when he accepted the fact that his mother had passed away and really pursued Kate, he really grew up, and really had the need for love instead of simply being loved.

    Basically, they have lost the ability to judge this kind of film. But one thing I want to say is, what kind of audience does the director define? If it is shot for the underage confused strange boy or the strange girl, some of the clips are too harmonious; but maybe the director just shot to those normal uncles and aunts who have experienced this period with emotion, then is this necessary? It's a thing of the past, it is the young people who really need help!
