漫长的一天结束了

镜头聚焦在一个名叫巴德（Leigh McCormack 饰）的男孩身上，巴德很早就失去了父亲，和母亲（Marjorie Yates 饰）以及哥哥一起过着相依为命的生活。整个童年时代在巴德的回忆里都笼罩在孤独和寂寞之中，在学校里，他一个人上课，一个人发呆，一个人回家，还要是不是的提防班上强壮的男生对他的威胁和嘲笑。 　　回家后，巴德也总是一个人待着，母亲建议他多和朋友们在一起玩，但她并不知道的是，巴德甚至都没有一个能真正称得上朋友的伙伴。巴德整日里将时间花在观察凝听这个世界和胡思乱想上，入夜，可怕的噩梦便会找上门来。就这样日复一日，巴德长大了，当再度回忆这段平凡而又独特的童年时，巴德会有怎样的感受呢？The Long Day Closes is the story of eleven-year-old "Bud." A sad and lonely boy, Bud struggles through his days. With cinema as his main source of solace, he haunts the local movie-house. All the while, his family looms large in our peripheral vision as do the menacing bullies of his school, but Bud is the center of attention both from the camera's angle and from his doting family. With a gray background, the film fuses clips and audio from classic movies into Bud's dreary childhood and brings it to life with an elegance Bach would bring to your home movies. The overall effect is a montage of memory which seems to ignite flashes of recognition in the viewer.
