Sorry, Juvenile Shelter

I'm sorry, juvenile shelter, I've let you down. I unfortunately fell asleep while I was looking at you. I regret that. You know it's not my style of watching movies, but your highlights in movies about youthful restlessness are really lackluster.

1. I am still looking forward to this film. I never thought it would be a "chicken soup for the soul" movie. It may be a true reproduction. The psychological ups and downs of the younger generation in the United States, as well as the restlessness in the process of growing up, or confusion and decadence, or even the "beat generation". However, this film has no bright spot in the same kind of film. From my own reasons, I feel that my thinking may still be the kind inherent in Chinese people, and I am obsessed with "Seventeen-Year-Old Bicycle" or "Bad Boy's Sky".
Furthermore, I would like to say that I have endured you for a long time with regard to the "influence", "epidemic" and "preaching" that can be seen everywhere in the film.

2. The tone of a movie is generally formed at the beginning of the film, which is like a novel. The first sentence of the article is the tone of the entire article. The first shot of the film, the first character, and even the first music hints at the overall tone of the film, fast or slow. When I think about it, I personally am not satisfied with the opening of this film, it seems very abrupt, like a director who is good at making movies used a rough and unpolished lens as the opening, so it looks unfamiliar, and the film seems to be rejecting the identity of the audience Identity, concept invasion.

3. The greater the so-called expectation, the greater the disappointment. If it weren't for the beautiful slow motion and soothing music at the end, I would have given it the lowest score out of anger.

4. I apologize to this movie again, and forgive my urge to give it one star.

    American independent films are loved because of their restrained shell and soft heart, just like Short Term 12. Although his plays are not the freshest, despite the sporadic melodramatic tendency, they are full of emotional power in simplicity. This kind of understanding and understanding of the protagonists and the children under their care is very coherent and solid, so it is extremely moving. After reading it, you will understand: No matter who it is, love can always be learned.

    Behind the troubled teenagers, there is a lot of grief caused by the uneducated family growing up. Fortunately, people who empathize with the shelter are good at healing the scars that remain in their hearts. A warm and touching indie film.
