Character evaluation

edit
Spike Jones is a less productive film director, and his films are somewhat surreal[16]。He was a punk who loved skateboarding in the 1980s, and sometimes a director wizard who shot controversial and visually shocking music videos for Beastie Boys in the 1990s[17](SinaNew York Magazine Comprehensive Review).
The films directed by Spike Jones show a relatively unified style, which has similar story cores and similar handling methods.He has always adhered to the working method of independent production, and has full leadership over his own film projects. At the same time, he enjoys full freedom in short film creation.This kind of creative state is relatively ideal, and at the same time, it often brings excellent works.From the perspective of subject matter, these works maintain the attention to teenagers. The protagonists of the stories are often teenagers in a lonely state and in the absence of their father.In terms of audio-visual style of the film, Spike Jones prefers magic moments and side backlights. Such scenes are elaborately created in "Animal Home", "Here I am" and "A Corner in the Suburb". This "small and fresh" audio-visual style is consistent with the theme of the film about the growth of young people[1]（《Contemporary Film》Comments）。
