Life is a fish tank you can't get out of

"Fish Tank" is a realistic work reflecting the problem of British teenage girls. It does not shock the audience's senses with dramatic characters and plots, but starts from the real environment and tells it in a eloquent manner. Mia is a surly and rebellious 15-year-old girl with an equally surly 10-year-old sister. Their single mother, who is not over 30 years old, lives an absurd life every day. Surrounded by a group of hopeless young people, Mia's world is like a fish tank, she wants to break free, and her tough performance is just to hide her inner struggle.

This fish tank world seems to have turned a corner, that is, Mom's new boyfriend Connor (Michael Fassbender), when he travels with the mother and daughter three, Mia seems to have found the father's place, and then is another kind of Emotions are replaced. On the other hand, her love of hip-hop seems to be appreciated and she gets an interview, which seems to be the dawn of her dream. However, this is not an inspirational film, 'father' is not here to be a father, let alone true love, and the interview did not focus on her really bad dancing. Everything is shattered.

In desperation Mia did what others would do. Break into the house of the man who cheated on him, and pee in the living room. I can even understand the behavior, it's just a humble vent and revenge for the insults received. I also want to let those who hurt myself experience great pain, but in the end I can't do anything to innocent people. It's only escape. Psychological and behavioral matching is in place.

Very realistic, without visual impact and transition, but in the end it gives the audience a more lasting impact. Life is like a fish tank. We think that one day there will be a wider world, but in fact we can never escape. The film did not appeal to social attention, nor did it explain the ending of Mia's long journey. This is just a cross-section of a life, it doesn't have any appeal, it just makes you feel the despair in that fish tank.

    Like Peter Sarsgaard in "Growing Up", I have an instinctive fondness for Michael Fassbender... Looks like Belle, right? ? ?
