小大人2016

电影的内容让我非常熟悉，想起了11年前的我和我最好的朋友。

我们是在同一栋楼生活的，每年夏天，都有很多同龄的小朋友在小区游泳池玩耍，我们也是在那里认识的，说起来挺好笑的，我们互相都注意到对方，但是我一直不敢跟她讲话，后来她终于打破沉寂：“可以交个朋友吗？”

我们关系很好，幸运的是，她妈妈也非常喜欢我。每个夏天，我们会一起游泳，放假时去她的家玩，我们一起逛街，一起去图书馆，一起玩电脑游戏，那时是我最快乐的时光。

她比我稍稍成熟些，我的妈妈不太喜欢她，但我觉得，再也没有比她更了解我的了。我们计划好要去同一所初中读书，但她突然跟我说，她要搬家了，要去别的城市上学。

那一瞬间，我真的好难过，我觉得我的心空了，现在想起来虽然感觉自己特别矫情，但当时的我像从天空的云朵上慢慢坠落下去。

我们都改变不了大人的决定，最终她还是去了离我家三个多钟头路程的城市。那时我们并没有手机，自然跟她断了联系。过了一年，她突然打到我家里的电话，告诉我她要回来一次，我兴奋地跳了起来，真的抑制不了自己的心情。但我记得她最终还是没过来，因为某些原因，放了我三次鸽子。随着进入学校，认识更多的朋友，我也渐渐淡忘了当初与她那种密不可分的感情。到初中快毕业的时候，她给我打了通电话，聊了很久，我特别开心，又特别心疼她不愉快的初中生活。我记得我们仅仅见过一次面，她就出国读书了，这次更远了，我很难再去找她了。但我很开心，她没有忘记我，时不时会打电话，发短信给我，偶尔知道你过得还不错，那也挺好的。

直到2017年，她终于回国了，她再一次约我出去，我有点忐忑，又有点激动，就像许久未见的老朋友，既熟悉，又陌生，但好在，我们还是最初那样，无话不谈。后来的后来，她来到离我仅仅一个小时的城市工作，只要大家有空，就能一起去玩。而我妈妈也认为我们这么多年还能这么要好，确实不容易，也放下了她原来的成见。

跨越了8年的友情，有时候可能也不会随时间淡化，《小大人》里的结局，我认为是开放式的，杰克跟我一样，以为失去了自己最好的朋友，可能一辈子再也不会见面了，但是如果其中一方主动找对方，故事就还没结束，希望杰克跟托尼，能再某天遇见，还能像以前那样。

人生路说长不长，说短不短，但与人之间的缘分，却太短了，遇见过这么多朋友，还能继续联系的，没有多少。如果有多年未见还能畅谈的朋友，请一定要珍惜。

关于电影《小小人》little men

也许我们曾经怦然心动，也许释然了…

青春期的无可奈何，失落和焦虑

在现实迅速的成长中只剩下微微一笑……

只看过Ira Sachs的爱很怪，当时被电影里满溢的生活感迷住，安静朴素的的琐碎生活，感情柔软绵长，被两个老爷子的爱情所感动…小小人和爱很怪的风格是一致的，依旧缓慢的将一些微小的情愫串联起来，矛盾和冲突都给予足够的缓冲，很多时候，电影呈现的生活化让我觉得自己像一个电影中没有入镜的老邻居，沉默的注视着这两家人的喜怒哀乐，当jacob玩着直排轮经过小公园，那阵午后的微风混杂着阳光和泥土的味道，轻抚过我的脸，仿佛jacob刚刚经过我的身边旁，我捕捉到了他和tony的相视一笑……

故事关乎于两家人，敏感内敛的艺术小天才jacob有着一个郁郁不得志的演员父亲和一个忙碌持家的心理医生母亲，叛逆洒脱热爱表演的tony那未露面的父亲也许在非洲拼命的工作着，阴郁焦虑的母亲经营着并不景气的服装店…两家人因为jacob爷爷的去世而联系到一起，jacob的父亲成为了tony家新的房东。两个男孩暧昧的友谊火速升温成为了最要好的朋友。此时，双方家长因为实际的经济利益产生矛盾，期间父母和孩子的矛盾爆发，经历了短暂的焦灼和反抗后，两个男孩随父母的决定就此分开，也许再遇见也只是远远的注视…

tony和表演老师练习解放天性的那场戏特别有趣，现场的所有学生以及表演老师都是本色出演，特别真实，不禁想起了我大学上表演课时的各种撒泼卖丑，就这么疯得自得其乐。

导演Q&A中，最后关于片名Little Men, 导演说其实是指每一个角色。

题外话，jacob和tony两个人的面相模样神似emma和小evan（这对貌似订婚，可怜的小快银哈）,我默默在心里期待了好久cp！

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.
