      Actually very realistic.

      Is the movie popular? I did not think.

      How many middle school students are facing these same problems?

      How many complicated feelings are mixed in the life of family, school, and two points and one line. How to deal with the relationship between parents, teachers, classmates, friends, lovers, and these people?

      Pretentious, cynical, has no friends, his parents are divorced, he has never finished his homework in three years of high school and can't graduate, has no...

      I don't know why I finished it

      This is a film I watched by Frandy Highmore. After watching the preview, I didn't have any other impression except that the male protagonist was good looking. After reading it, I may prefer literature and art, but I still appreciate the reason and behavior of not doing homework. Chinese children's papers don't have the courage. I don't know why I always feel like a Japanese art film. The first time the male protagonist cried, he completely touched me. The tears were so crystal clear. Later, I...

      Very suitable for me now

      I always feel that George is a lot like himself. There is no goal and no hope. I am always greedy for the current life and don't pursue anything. It's not that I don't want to pursue something, but that I can't let myself pursue quietly and work hard. ............ Would high school students say that they would be beaten by their mother......

      .Everything is just an illusion

      The same age, the same face the future, the same confusion about the meaning of all this, the same is not good at expressing; only repeatedly internalized themselves in the heart. Facing the hesitant footsteps in the future, it is difficult to move, and the life that has not yet started seems to be afraid of living. Ask yourself over and over what you can do. Finding the direction of our own interests has become the most difficult thing (l was noting), but how do we all enjoy the soundness...

      the sweet story of love, not just teenage love

      Yes, we will all end in the same way when death knocks on the door, but life is about what we've been going through not the immortality. It is the process that matters, the laughter, the experience, the tears, the feelings of love, life, dream and everything...

      Although it's a small and fresh movie, it's particularly touching. There are some scenes that make my memory relive When I'm nervous, I can't help but observe how he sleeps in the morning. It's very cute. He wraps himself...
