小大人

想起来小学时候玩的最好的朋友LB，一个特别有绘画天赋的女孩子，笑起来甜甜的肉肉的，她是我至今见过最有绘画灵气的姑娘，以至于那个时候我会照着她的画临摹。任何东西在她的画笔下仿佛都充满生命，信手拈来。仿佛她就是为绘画而生。

那时候我每周都会去她家玩，一起看漫画书一起上绘画课，她会把每期《漫友》的海报留给我，借给我她最爱的杂志。要知道那时候一张《漫友》的海报对小学生来说有多珍贵。我们会在课堂上偷偷传纸条，课间厮混在一起，就连放学后也会用家里的座机给彼此打电话聊天。分享各种有意思的心事和秘密，连老师后来都找到我们的家长说我俩太爱粘着，耽误学习。然而我对她的记忆就只停留在那个时候。

高中虽然两人在一个学校，但是却不经常来往，她的性格也变得没有从前活泼，我也有了其他好朋友。两个人不知道为什么就渐渐疏远开来。没有过争吵没有过分歧。我一直觉得是因为她去了不喜欢的初中所以性格变得不爱交谈。起初我们还会打电话彼此问候，可再后来就断了联络。

再后来大学假期两人约见过一次，说来奇怪，记得清儿时一起玩耍的细节，却记不得最近一次见面的事情。想不起来两人见面干了什么聊了什么。似乎是一起吃了冰淇淋和甜品，我还开玩笑说她怎么瘦了那么多。然而那次见面结束后我内心似乎就知道了那是我们最后一次见面了。

所以当看到最后美术馆里Jack 望着Tony 的背影却没有去say hi的时候我想Jack 也是知道两人的缘分至此，各有各的生活，再亲密无间都只是存活在过去的影子。看似Jack 在地上平静的画画，其实内心早已把他和Tony以前的日子像放电影一样的放了一遍又一遍吧。就如自己知道的，有些人的进度条在你生命里走完了就是走完了。

This part beginning from a dark movements, From the back view, a group of students entered the painting, and the protagonist followed the paintings of everyone. The director's handling of this picture deliberately makes the backlight of the scene brighter than the foreground, so that the audience can shift their attention away from the students who have passed the foreground.Then the lens is very slight, and it is very imperceptible to push to the Jake.

Other students have a good exchange and itobviouslyseems that he is lonely and quiet. From Jake's back shot to Tony in the middle of others and withclassmates for a lively communication, andwith just previous shot thatJake just walked quietly in stark contrast.

The director gave Jake a reaction lens that placed him at one-third of the picture. At the edge of the picture, he formed a protagonist with a sense of inner crisis, and the state of the protagonist looked up, which added to the expression of the protagonist'semotion.After the camera washorizontalshaken to the left, after Tony and the others walk out of tjepicture, Jack returned to the center of the screen.Using painting as a transition, it seems that the character's emotions are cut off here, making the emotions extremely restrained and the lens expressionseemsmore objective.

With the beginning of background music,director added a close-up of Jake's classmates with four different scenes and different positions. Finally, it is a close-up of the main character. It is very interesting to convey that the people around Jake have changed, just like the people around everyone in the real world are constantly changing, sometimes spreading outand getting together.

The background music is only repeated for a whilein the same way, and it can clearly hear its editing points, as if it implies that everything is actually circulating.

I am very appreciatethat the director described the emotions of the characters with an extremely cool lens movement.Most of them are fixed lens.Using a fixed lens can make the audience move away from emotions and turn into thinking.The friendship of Jake and Tony in "Little Men" carries that kind of bittersweet weight. Jake and Tony hold hands over the growing abyss between their parents. They're only 13 years old. Do they know that relationships are fragile and need protection? Do they understand how precious their friendship is, how much they need to hold onto it, how much they will miss it if it ends? These questions carry intense reverberation long after the film ends.

In the class,wealsoreadthis part of the script. In the front part of the script, the screenwriter used the enthusiasm of the guest to describe the alienation of their relationship, echoing the scene of their mother's first meeting.From the lens or the script are deliberately creating a distance between them.But after the script, it was too straightforward. The director simply used the movements and the lens to sublimate the whole movie.Using gestures to describe mental activity is the most difficult task in terms of scriptwriting.I thinkfilmsmainly needs to use the lens language to show the theme and emotions. I think this is the place where fabulous in <Little Men>.The director knows how to do appropriate subtraction in the film.Its smallness makes it grand and moving. These are the things, these little moments, decisions and consequences that most human lives are made of, after all.

This film is very different from the general run of ingratiating middlebrow indies that pop up on screen periodically, drenched with implausibility, sentimentality and lame bet-hedging humour.It is composed with scrupulous observational intelligence and Care. It is really engaging.
