剧情介绍
客家年轻人小伟（范植伟饰）和小杰（高盟杰饰），一个性情沉静，一个个性冲动，他们在灰暗简陋的大宅里成长。血气方刚的小伟崇拜李小龙，舞动双截棍强健身体。与他感情亲密的姐姐小敏（吴雨致饰），因患上癌症，终日被折磨，与死神搏斗。
小杰是小伟的表弟，因对生活的不满，人有些神经质，沉迷于魔术。两个年轻人似乎随着姐姐的病情，寻不着人生的方向。他们就跟鱼缸里的热带鱼一样，看似自在的游动，却逃不出一层玻璃。一次小杰得到一把枪，他装腔作势地耍弄，却最终闯下大祸。二人被黑帮追杀，狂奔逃命…… Although their characters and temperaments couldn't be less alike, 19-year olds Wei and Jie are best friends. They're also neighbours, living with widower fathers and problem siblings in the suburbs of Taipei. When Wei is promoted from the rank of nightclub parking valet to the rank of debt-collector in Brother Gu's gang, he persuades his boss to hire Jie to work alongside him. Things begin to go wrong when they are given a handgun to reward their success in the new job. Always excitable and volatile, Jie becomes reckless and dangerous when he has the gun in his hand. When they try to collect a debt from the boss of a rival gang, a fight erupts and Jie shoots the gang-boss. The boys find themselves on the run. But fate and their youthful dreams still have tricks to play...

这从来都不是什么美丽时光
3.5 前面氛围都很棒，一个血癌家庭的琐事。结尾有些多余，时空穿越，拯救死去的阿杰，可能当时导演觉得很新奇吧
鱼缸是点睛之笔，整部电影潮湿的感觉让所有痛苦和暴力都湿润了，变得模糊，像在鱼缸外隔着玻璃看水里的鱼，和一直在重复循环的主题曲一样，结尾那段表演真正诠释了“美丽”二字，很难不落泪
一年啦
3.5。卑微青春如水之容器，大海的尽头是玻璃墙壁。总感觉这样充斥符号的电影似曾相识。
看完感到一阵淡淡的茫然，结尾水中的戏实在浪漫，忧伤的音乐像情绪一样涓涓细流。
眷村电影创作，喜欢
风格拼接，过度浪漫的结尾。范植伟灵，又去看了他的微博，频繁发，几无人评，超话里偶有王心凌粉丝来骂。
目前看到最好的张作骥。不信跳河传闻的年轻人最终沉入一片澄蓝中，成为了故事里的人，这里面是台湾底层社会的无限悲情。最后的画面实在浪漫梦幻，从打打杀杀的现实中脱身，在小鱼围绕的世界里是年轻人无忧的游戏。明明是坠入无法呼吸的深水，却像是偷到一丝光明，借到了些许喘息。
4/5，张作骥拍出了台北的另一面，一家人的生活群戏尤为动人，看不到未来的生活就像是跳入的臭水沟，但你却看到蔚蓝深海的奇景，或许这种以死而生的自由是美丽时光吧～～～
还以为是侯孝贤
结尾蛮优雅的
真好啊，张作骥讲故事就像是一把刀切开台北的两千年，横截面上流出青春的 忧郁的 思乡的血，最后插到了小杰的背上，悲伤的气质蛰伏于粗粝的时光中，一切都像最后的水底世界一样美好。
范个二逼，非要作死，拳打王家卫，脚踢王心凌，明明当时那么有灵气。少年有枪在手，游遍天下都不怕，可怜表弟死了3次。
阿杰完成了一项伟大的魔术，变出了一头闯入院子的独角兽、一颗凭空而来的子弹、还把臭水沟变成了美丽的水族箱。张作骥的作品，现实主义与理想主义并存
