Just finished watching Diary of the Edge. I remember that I didn't like it very much when I first watched it. It was entirely because I watched the beginning of the show and insisted on not giving up on the drama. At the beginning of the movie, Jim, a high school student, fights with a few friends, skips class, thieves, and acts mischievously, but he is very good in the school basketball team. But later, I lost everything because I got caught with drugs: I failed in the game because I took the wrong drug, and was finally expelled from the school basketball team; I was found by the priest when I bought drugs, and I was expelled from the school; Wandering around; robbing a few friends for drugs. In the original party of four, one was under the influence of drugs during an ice cream shop robbery and was arrested and sent to a juvenile detention center. Yue Prison can be said to have completely lost his basketball dream and self. And the detail that the fourth person who entered the NBA with his superb ball skills and was admitted to a good university because he refused to take drugs together at the beginning appeared on the TV screen is a stark contrast. There are bad people and good people in movies. There is a school team coach who sexually harassed Jim and left him with a psychological shadow. Mickey beat a woman after robbing her on the street. Jim called his mother a bitch for money, and even the movie lines almost contained swear words. , some of which are disappointing. But there is also a black uncle who spared no effort to help Jim get rid of drugs. His existence seems to be a hope for the whole movie. And that Bobby who died of leukemia. If the whole film is described by a piece of black cloth, these kind and gentle existences are like a little light, giving the viewer a little comfort to the depressed heart. The whole movie didn't strike me as great, except for Leonardo's great acting, until near the end of the movie when Jim came home and asked for money, across the door from his mother. Two people, one outside the door and the other inside, burst into tears. The lock on the door isolated the two of them. Mom was crying for Jim, and Jim was suffering because he didn't have any drugs. The mother couldn't bear to take out the money from her bag and wanted to give it to her son, but because the son kept yelling outside the door, the details of the helpless clenching of the money in her hand and continuing to call the police made people tremble. Thinking back to my high school days, I understand that my mother's tears are real, that it is real that I can't bear it, that it is real that it hurts for the child, that it is real that there is nothing I can do, and that it is real love. Jim finally got rid of his drug addiction after six months in prison. Jim has been recording his entire psychological journey in a diary, which has also become the spiritual sustenance of his last six months in prison. . After being released from prison, Petro once came to Jim, but Jim rejected the invitation to take drugs together, suddenly appeared from the darkness, and finally disappeared back into the darkness. As if a shadow of the whole world, lost the weight of the soul, wandering and wandering in the corner of the city. Jim finally said something like this.
Edge diary, the record is always my own life. You have seen my story, but you still can't understand all the emotions in it. The performer and the audience are always different. Salute and thanks. On March 29, 2017 at 11:45 am.
