The current rating of 7.4 is largely due to her simple plot, but in a sense she deserves a higher evaluation and is also worth your precious 90 minutes.

Producer A24: An American independent film company, because of its distinctive film style, deep thinking, and the sword is slanting, it has gradually won a large group of fans. Because it has repeatedly won first prizes in major mainstream film festivals in recent years, A24 has won Hollywood" Newcomers, "upstarts", "breakers" and other titles.

It can be seen to the naked eye that the direct target of A24 is the traditional Hollywood production company. With such confidence, we believe that it must have a killer. Avant-garde concepts, cutting-edge teams, and specific groups of people will not be discussed in detail here. Just looking at the lens characteristics, A24 focuses on the modern presentation of a certain artistic conception, and puts a few A24 movie stills for everyone's taste:

The production company determines the style and genre of the film to a certain extent. The films of independent production companies like A24 are worthy of our attention.

Okay, let’s not digress, eldest brother and younger brother Zhenlou:

Mid90s

The mid90s in the author’s eyes:

1. Why did the author watch this movie?

There are two reasons: I want A24 movies; I want to watch a short one, and I don't want to stay too late.

A24 guarantees that the style, content, and technique of this film must be at least prominent enough. The duration of less than 90 minutes reduces the cost of viewing the movie, and makes a profit without loss.

2. The cao color (dian) of the film uses a TV screen ratio of 1.33 (4:3), which adds a documentary sense of reality compared to the traditional 2.37 (64:27) screen ratio. Of course, for computer and TV users, the screen may be too small, and there is no such thing as a full screen.

3. The lineup: I only know Lucas Hedges, who was nominated for the 89th Oscar for Best Actor for his participation in the movie "Manchester by the Sea". Other actors are not very well-known, but their acting skills are excellent (this is also a feature of A24).

4. I don't know if you have such a childhood: In order to satisfy your parents and obey everything, from elementary school to university, studying almost occupies most of your life. Parental love is often embodied in restraint. We may be thinking about the girl in our dreams, or we may be fighting alone with our brothers in society. But when the spark in our hearts is extinguished by the kindness of our elders, we are unwilling to do so, but we can only shake our heads and sigh, and since then we believe that this is life.

5. Believe that "ordinary" and "calm" are synonymous with the growth of our generation. If you lack a legendary growth experience, and once had a rebellious desire to experience the rebellious growth of a California teenager, consider Let's take a look at Mid90s. Here you will witness an American-style freedom from the perspective of a child, as well as the pain and confusion that comes with it, and of course their family, friendship and dreams.

6. The story of Mid90s is not complicated, but the emotions inside are very rich. We'd better put on headphones and slowly immerse ourselves in it. This film describes a kind of free childhood, but what she conveys is thinking about a phenomenon of unfettered growth, which is related to the future of adolescents and the feelings of family members. If you have a rebellious child, find a way to make He will accompany you to take a look; if you have an unreliable buddy, take him to sit for 90 minutes, take a look at yourself across the ocean, I believe this film will bring their inner resonance.

8. Most of the characters in it face survival problems. We often say, "We know the etiquette in the warehouse, and the honor and disgrace for the food and clothing", but this group of California boys choose to skateboard in their embarrassed life, smiling and pursuing unfettered freedom. The life shown in the movie is in great contrast to ours, but this difference in cognition and behavior is not the difference between our ideals and reality? We choose to mature and enjoy the peaceful life brought about by maturity, and what Mid90s brings to us is the bohemian parallel time and space in our dreams.

7. I also want to mention that there is a little white photographer inside. The "photography" element often ends in a picture-in-picture in a movie. This can be generally understood as the director's deep love for the movie.

    It was like flopping hard on the surface of the water, only to find that it was only one meter from the bottom of the pool. Like most of Hollywood's fringe characters, the director once again slid into the endless cycle of creation where love can heal everything, wrapping the characters in a sea of ​​soft sofas.

    3.5 The drama is unavoidably deliberate, but fortunately it is very casual, partly thanks to Jonah Hill's own life experience, but it is also difficult to replicate and continue.
