【仲夏風清】今夏的一個記錄短片 How Do You Measure a Year

最近在HBO上看了這個紀錄片，30分鍾左右，但很精彩。一個爸爸記錄女兒從2歲-18歲的成長，每年生日的時候問小姑娘幾個問題。

2歲的時候小姑娘是個精力旺盛的卷毛好奇寶寶。18歲準備離家上大學，是即將展翅高飛的雛鷹。

 

2歲-5歲：總是盼著長大

8歲：小姑娘說過去的一年也許是自己最好最快樂的一年

11和12歲：小姑娘都說自己想真正的活著，真正的體驗生命 。這麽小卻又能有這種覺悟

 

小姑娘唱歌很有天賦，而且情感細膩，應該是深受藝術家父親的影響。

 

讀到一個影評：

Our Take: “How Do You Measure a Year?” is a home-movie experiment with a simple technique – clip microphone to daughter, point camera, ask questions – and concept, but it yields some profound insights into childhood, adolescence, adulthood and parenthood. That’s not surprising; if it hadn’t, and it was just something cute and sentimental, it wouldn’t have gotten as far as HBO and the Oscars. But Ella could be any average American kid who came of age in the 2010s (she’s 22 now). Of course, there are specificities of character and setting that emerge, but the film is subtextually a universal endeavor. It isn’t about the extraordinary events in their lives; if they’ve experienced triumph or tragedy, it goes unmentioned. Jay’s decision to ask Ella the same big, provocative questions every year gives us a yardstick to measure and observe adolescent human development.
