The whole filming of "Skateboard Boy" should take a long time. It starts from the three children's teenage years, and repeatedly intersperses the current daily life fragments, intertwines the contradictions between family and career, and the narrative is relatively compact. When more than ten minutes later, there is a clip that is particularly burning, so that the audience can lift their spirits. The director himself has appeared in the camera many times, and even brought the camera into the film without appearing abrupt. The film is named after skateboarding, but it is not about the sport itself, but about the friendships built through skateboarding and the stories of their growth and changes over the years. Through their hometown, they reminisce about that time together. When no one was carefree, we also thought about conquering the sea of stars, but in the end we found that we might not even be able to raise children... It's just that the director's mother's filming has some "performance" elements, and I didn't reveal too much about my living conditions, and the contrast with the daily life of the white and black people in the film was not obvious, and the overall integration was a little bit worse. But the story wouldn't have been possible if the director hadn't preserved the images of his teenage years. What happens around you should be recorded and kept at any time, I don't know when it will be useful.
