      Kids are mean, and the struggle is real

      When going to school, especially between the upper grades of elementary school and high school, every child with an uncertain future has an ultimate goal: fitting in. You can go through fire and water in order to be accepted. I am honored to be included. A very low way to "get together" with classmates is to establish a common enemy, and then bully and humiliate those classmates who don't seem so united and not so consistent.

      When I was in elementary school, I really did a lot of...

      I want to tell you the story of that clumsy and cautious teenage girl in eighth grade

      The US emperor is always harsh on the proposition of cool kids

      It's not an old-fashioned plot of an ugly girl transforming into a true love, but a shameful and embarrassing scene full of tension

      He never talks to anyone during the day, hides under the covers at night to be a considerate netizen, asks for help in all kinds of ways, and then wakes up in the morning and goes back to the classroom just to look at their phones. High tech and AI have built a thick wall between us and...

      Such a cruel and real campus youth film can't be made in the mainland! We lost at the start

      Most of the campus youth films in mainland China cater to the audience's curiosity and voyeurism. The state they present is a highlight moment that is difficult for ordinary people to experience and is unusually lacking. It's to make up for what we didn't have, and let's feel the drama moment like a dream.

      In other words, they are not real enough and are out of touch with the reality of most ordinary people. Although the movie also pays attention to drama and conflict, the...

      An ordinary girl who can no longer be ordinary is the portrayal of most reality

      Snapchat's PR and film and television partners worked together, so we were able to see the movie ahead of its release at Arclight in Santa Monica. In a word, it's a really good shot. Some people say that it is like the juvenile version of "Miss Bird". I think it is better, more real, more cowardly, and more warm.

      The content of the film is very simple, revolving around the last life of a little girl in the eighth grade (equivalent to the third year of junior high...

      A small analysis of the protagonist's introverted personality

      Introverts have their own unique perspective, improve themselves through observation of the outside world and changes in their hearts, and continue to grow. They have very sensitive senses and can pick up subtle changes in atmosphere. Sometimes it can be well integrated into a specific atmosphere, but rarely actively contact others. Many times, I will not refuse to participate in a lot of social activities. But you can also see how different people think about different things. They all have...

      Seriously, this is still because American teenagers have too much homework to be forced by idlers. Of course, it is more of a white child to play too much. Bo Burnham, who is quite in style, looks too embarrassed, and the post-00s are...

      Movies made by the post-90s generation in the United States have broken hearts for American society. The Chinese youth who are also born in the 1990s have the Chinese government claiming that they are "very relieved". This is the difference between education and...

      From the perspective of a contemporary American eighth-grade girl, I look at campus interpersonal relationships and youth growth. There is always a focus in the circle. If you are a marginal person, then either change the circle, or continue to be yourself with confidence, and don’t be consumed by negative energy...

    Movie plot

    Kayla ( El ) , a 15-year-old girl , is a very ordinary girl: she lives with her father, her grades and looks are mediocre. The best friend she grew up with is already a school girl, and she doesn't play with her anymore, but she still works very hard to integrate into each other's circle of friends. She was a "little transparent" at school, and she was angry with her father who cared about her from time to time at home. In her spare...

    Creative background

    Bo Bonham created the script of "The Coolest Girl in the World" based on his own feelings. He has had the experience of "inner fear" since 2013. That kind of distrust and insecurity about himself and the future reminded him of him in middle school, and he felt that the state of the entire society and culture of the United States was also experiencing something at that time. "The Coolest Girl in the World" feels painful during the...

    Evaluation action

    The film is a youth film. Its great feature is that the director and heroine interpret the growing pains of half-aged children in a minute. There is no "cruel youth" here, nor does it focus on showing school bullying. Audiences of any age will be reminded of the feelings they experienced when they were growing up. (Comment by Information Times)
    The film director avoided the clichéd plots of genre movies, and explored the embarrassment...
