Poor youth is only left in the wild

On Weibo, I saw that many people listed this "American Sweetheart" as one of their top ten movies in 2016. I was curious and looked for it. If the director made this film to reflect the youth released by the adolescent boys and girls born in the bottom families of the United States, and to reflect that even if the society abandoned them, they still have dreams, I really can’t see how these children will realize their dreams. opportunity. They can't be America's sweethearts!

The heroine is so ugly, especially the side face, the mouth shape when she laughs makes me unable to bear to look directly. At first, her stepfather forced her to dance with him at home, and she danced with him with a face of grief and humiliation, which was different from the self-righteous and fearless character she showed after joining the MLM organization. If she was like this Personality, when his stepfather touched it, he should have jumped up.

These children who joined MLM (I think they are very similar) are all children from poor families, otherwise they would not run away from home and no one would come looking for them. They are eager to make money, eager to change their lives. When I first saw it, I thought that Jake would be a different child, because he has a clean and upright face, but his dream is to steal other people's jewelry to build a house; there is also an ignorant and fearless heroine for 1000 Yuan is even willing to be a prostitute. There is also the eldest sister in the film, who is simply a successful person from the slum, who knows how to deal with the poor and the rich, and how to use a bunch of ignorant and ignorant young men and women who only have hormones to squander.

They are full of youthful vigor in the camera. Because they have not received a good education, they have no good education. They speak foul language, wear revealing clothes, and even play with their genitals, full of restless youth. Many film critics said that they envy such youth, and they have to think that what they yearn for is the kind of freewheeling sex, the kind of foul language when they want to, the kind of people who want to urinate and even take out their genitals to show off their hearts without any scruples. emotional freedom. However, the men and women in the film actually yearn for money, cleanliness and order, and to live like a human being, rather than such a chaotic and unrestrained youth.

There are two things that moved me about this film. The first is that when she first sold a magazine, she and Jack walked into a middle-class family, and saw a girl about her age who had a beautiful house and a educated and self-sufficient mother. , dancing carefree with a friend of her own class, her heart was turbulent, her eyes were filled with jealousy and envy, she couldn't hide the inferiority her humble birth brought her, and immediately showed I'm the one I'm afraid of, so she swears and exposes Jack's elaborate lies, just to see this well-mannered mother show her disgust for her and Jack. The other is that at the end of the film, she went to the slum to sell magazines, walked into a family that was similar to her birth, saw a messy home, an unattended child, and a mother who was caught in drugs. She went to the supermarket silently. Bought them food. No matter how poor and humble birth, it did not destroy a kind heart. But what can happen, your birth determines your future.

Poor youth is only left with wildness, otherwise what else can there be?

    1. Hand-held photography, scattered editing, weakening the narrative of the plot and the natural performance of non-professional actors truly restore the wanton and unrestrained face of youth. 2. The core is still female growth, from confusion to dream awakening. 3. The agile moment when everyone in the car sang the theme song of the same name, almost burst into tears. 4. Light: bright day, golden street lights, fire trucks in the night forest gap, bonfires, oil wells on fire. 5. Worms in Wine, Rebirth in Water and Fireflies Cast. (9.0/10)
