      Remember the mental journey of a morbid female literary youth

      From a single-parent family, with a childhood shadow, an irresponsible father and a controlling mother. She was always a good girl before college, and after college she longed for a debauched life. She is sensitive and slender, loves literature and art, and can write poems, novels, essays, reviews and essays. A loli face, small body, at least C cup by visual inspection. I love rock and literature, I have talked to a good-looking boyfriend, I have fucked, I have taken drugs, I have gone crazy, I...

      Reality is warmer than reverie

      I don't know why it translates to such a misleading name as "the first experience of a girl", but it's a good movie about a girl who suffers from depression. And, it's a true story.

      She lacked fatherly love since she was a child, and gained excessive maternal love, unable to find the balance between request and rejection. I kept writing, went to Harvard on a journalism scholarship, and got the freedom of my dreams: smoking, drinking, and taking drugs. . . If she is a genius, she is...

      "This is the puberty of the girl's miserable green and red."

      When I watched "Chrysanthemum and the Knife" before, the most beautiful moment for a young man was the moment when he stepped from a teenager to an adult man, just like a cherry blossom in full bloom, which withered when it opened. In fact, the beauty of the creature like a girl is also here. In this movie, ricci is somewhere between an adult and a minor. When he is hysterical, he does look like a nasty "woman", but following his mother's example of smoking cigarettes, he is clearly still a...

      Geniuses are crazy

      A girl who grew up in an atmosphere of relationship hysteria with her parents divorced since childhood. But she has a talent that is different from ordinary people. He likes to cut his own skin with a sharp weapon, and let the fresh and viscous blood adhere to his epidermis, and experience the pleasure in the bleeding.

          For her, it was a very unpleasant thing. This is Elizabeth Woods.

    Movie quotes

    • Elizabeth: I feel so stupid sitting in therapy. A lot of people had much harder childhoods than mine.

      Dr. Sterling: We're not talking about other people. We're talking about you.

      Elizabeth: [narrating] I'll give her that much, I'm the problem.

    • Elizabeth: I just keep thinking that, if I could just be normal, you know, if I could just get out of bed in the morning, everything would be OK.

      Dr. Sterling: OK, well, what do you think normal is?

      Elizabeth: Most people, you know, they cut themselves, they put a band aid on, they keep going.

      Dr. Sterling: And what do you do?

      Elizabeth: I just keep bleeding.

      Dr. Sterling: So you think that being normal is having a wound, putting a patch on it and then just go on with your life?

      Elizabeth: Isn't that what functioning is? Isn't that what living is? You know, you keep going no matter what happens to you.

      Dr. Sterling: Is that the way you want to live?

    • Elizabeth: I've always helped my mother pick up boyfriends. The only one I never got a say in was the one that mattered. My dad.
