There's this new movie out (it's rated R, by the way) that's making waves! It just won the Audience Award at Sundance, and even scored the Dolby Institute Fellowship!
又一部和滑板有关系的电影（R级片）今年在美国上映，目前斩获 2024 年第 40 届圣丹斯电影节观众选择奖，并获得了杜比学院奖学金。
If you've seen "mid90s" and "Skate Kitchen," you know those movies are all about those teenage skate vibes in the US. But Bing Liu's "Minding the Gap" takes a different approach. It's a documentary that gets real about the struggles of some skaters from different walks of life.
曾经看过《 mid 90s》和《滑板厨房》电影的滑手应该都知道，这两部电影讲述了美国少年少女的青春滑板故事；而华裔导演刘冰的《滑板少年Minding the Gap》则是以纪录片的形式，讲述了几位代表不同群体滑手的生活之痛。
And "Dìdi" tackles similar themes, but this time it's about a Taiwanese-American kid named Chris Wang and his family dealing with culture clashes and growing up in Northern California. Think stuff like figuring out how to kiss, fighting with your sister, dealing with an absent father, a mom who sacrifices everything for her family, learning to skate and film… you know, real-life stuff.
而《弟弟》也选择讨论了类似的问题，只不过这次他们讲述的是台裔小子 Chris Wang 和其家庭在北加州所面对的文化冲击和青春问题。比如如何接吻，和姐姐吵架，父亲的缺失，为家庭牺牲自我的母亲，如何开始滑板并拍摄……
This film is the debut of Taiwanese-American director Sean Wang, and it's kind of like his semi-autobiographical story. So the skating in the movie is totally authentic, not just thrown in there for no reason. Even now, he's still got it on a skateboard!
这部影片是台裔美国籍电影导演王湘圣的处女作，也算是他的“半自传电影”。所以影片中的滑板元素并非生拉硬扯地添加，即使是现在，他滑板也玩得不错。
And playing another key role in the film, Chris's mom, Chungsing, is played by the amazing Joan Chen. Her performance in the movie has blown everyone away – critics are even saying she could get nominated for an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress!
作为影片中另一个重要角色，Chris 的母亲 Chungsing 则由知名演员陈冲饰演。而她在片中的细腻演技也是令无数媒体称赞，甚至有望冲击奥斯卡最佳女配角提名。
And get this, during the film's preview tour, Spike Jonze himself showed up to a screening to support the project! We're talking about the legendary skater and Oscar-winning director of films like "Being John Malkovich" and "Her"! That's not something just anyone gets.
而此前电影在巡回点映期间，著名 GRIL 滑板&奥斯卡导演 Spike Jonze 还前去为其助阵。这可不是谁都能有的待遇。
And check out one of the movie posters – the main character is rocking GIRL tee, and the whole vibe of the photo has that classic FA signature deck aesthetic. And in the trailer, you see Baker and Emerica apparel everywhere!
而影片的其中一张宣传海报，主演不仅穿着 GIRL，肖像照也颇有 FA 签名款板面的气质。在预告片中，诸如 Baker，Emerica 的服饰也是随处可见。
Okay, so the movie isn't just about skating. It's about finding your identity, dealing with culture shock and language barriers, all that teenage angst, and family drama... But honestly, what skater hasn't dealt with some of that stuff at some point?
虽然身份认同，语言和文化冲击，青春期和家庭问题……而并非滑板，才是这部电影想讨论的。但试问这些问题，又有哪些滑手没遇到过呢？
This movie, "Dìdi," is real and honest, and it deserves to be seen by more people. Hopefully it hits theaters in China soon!
显然这部真实而诚恳的电影《弟弟》值得更多人的关注，希望能早日在国内院线看到。
