    It's just a collection of bits and pieces, so it's hard to get a three-dimensional impression of Michelle Obama's overall character. What impresses me more is the anger towards AA. There are too many unspoken rules and backdoors in this world, what is unfair about AA. Rules are made by humans and can be moved...

    I really didn't know that Michelle turned out to be Barack's mentor. She came from an ordinary family and graduated from Yale University. This woman is not simple. The Obamas have indeed done some useful things for the American people, but unfortunately they were overthrown by Chuan Jianguo, a tragedy for the United States....

    It's not easy to make a film like this. Then there is chicken soup but it's real okay? There is a real need for more leaders to come forward to bring peace and hope. Also, the fact that Frank Ocean's song appeared twice is really...

    If the young people in the United States now want to have such a slightly positive influence, instead of running the train with a mouth full of Jianguo, the United States will not be more and more divided... If you have time, you can read a...

    After reading the book, I thought it was well written, so I watched the documentary, but I was very disappointed. It feels like trying to express a lot of things and ends up looking cluttered. Family history, personal struggles, stressful life under the magnifying glass in the White House, life away from the White House, book friend meeting tour, political correctness, women's struggles, encouragement for young girls, I almost fell asleep seeing...

    There is not much behind the story, she has inspired many women with the position of the first lady and the special role of black, but she always feels that there is a limit, and what she can see is only the ten things that the public can see in general. one percent? As always elegant and independent, inspiring... (em may be written in the...

    The record of the book tour is not Michelle's documentary. I highly recommend it on the Internet, and I thought about reading the book after watching the film, but obviously this film is very ordinary. After reading the introduction of some books, the description is still attractive, but the vocabulary of the original book reaches 9000+, Michelle is undoubtedly confident, whether it is internal or external, he has repeatedly emphasized the importance of self-effort and...

Becoming quotes

  • Michelle Obama: Get back on what track? It's a whole new track. It's not goin' back. You know it's all different, and it's different forever. So it's not getting back on track but its creating my next track... I'm doing what you're doing. I'm figuring out, "What do I want to do? What do I care about?" And it takes time to process your life and figure out what it all means. So little of who I am happened in those eight years. So much more of who I was happened before."

    [regarding a student's question about having her career/life interrupted by her husband becoming president]

  • Michelle Obama: We focus too much on "stats" and not "story." Stats are like, "What college are you from?" But your story is like, "What was your grandfather like?" "Who was your favorite relative and why?"

    High School Student Shayla Allen: What advice would you give to someone who's trying to avoid becoming just a "stat"? Like when you go to college, you're not just the kid with the 3.0 GPA or when you're applying for jobs, you're not just that person who graduated at the top of her class. How do you avoid becoming just a number?

    Michelle Obama: I think what makes you more than a stat is once you see yourself - you see yourself as more than a stat and you start thinking about, who are you? What do you care about? What brings you joy? I hope my story urges you to see the power of your story. And to own that.
