      The worst thing in friendship is possessiveness

      When I watched this movie, I was reluctant to go to sleep the next day was thinking class.

      my seventeen? My good friend went back to her hometown to study, her grades have improved, everything is developing in a positive way, I am happy for her

      is that true?

      Our intersection is less and less, my broken mobile phone, I often text her, send WeChat, call, watch her avatar change occasionally, but it won't reply to me. She studies hard. I'm afraid she will...

      After growing up, watch the story of the edge of growth

      The gap between countries comes from the differences between people.

      After watching more than half of it, I feel that the heroine's behavior is absurd in China. She has a self-closed character, and she never considers her family and friends when she does things. But there is a father who understands and encourages her, a teacher who is like a friend, a brother who seems to dislike but still loves her, and a mother who keeps nagging but loves her deeply. I can see the kind of tolerance,...

      we have also experienced

      It reminds me of the movie-paper town (everyone thinks they know enough about others and then judges others based on their own experience and the appearance of others, but doesn't calm down listentoothers) The heroine has always been self-centered, like What the Asian brother said, she kept saying it, but didn't listen well. She felt that others were superficial, so she was arrogant, looked down on others and misunderstood others (his brother, Asian brother, best friend). But I don't know that...

      the road of youth

      The intersection of youth
      - the edge of

      seventeen - the age of seventeen - youth is like the age when flowers bloom.
      If a half-ripe apple is
      sweet and sour, it is still not quiet.
      When the wind blows, I want to go with the wind,
      but I don't know where it will fall.

      Many years ago,
      the teacher who taught the movie let us go:
      "Seventeen-Year-Old Bicycle"
      was also seventeen years old.
      At that time, I
      just passed this age....

      American chick movies, look, other people's youth movies are also a parental problem, a relationship problem, tear it up from time to time, and the filming is very fun and emotional. Although I think the world of the protagonist should be a happy configuration,...

    Movie plot

    Growing up is not an easy task, and high school life is even more difficult for Nadine ( Hailee Steinfeld ) . Nadine's elder brother Darion ( Blake Jenner ) has been excellent in every aspect since childhood, so he is particularly loved by his mother ( Kyra Sedgwick ) . It seems that only my father ( Eric Keenleyside ) understands and likes Nadine. Nadine is not very good at socializing and has no friends. She is often bullied by...

    Evaluation action

    The film touches some of our adolescent pain with a story that is so ordinary that it can't be ordinary, and the sharp laughter and wonderful performance make it look humorous. The film uses dense lines to show the confusion and "pain" of an "ordinary" female high school student in adolescence. Although the film is not really inspiring, the main characters don’t talk about dreams, and there is no love that must be yours, but it is this...

    Movie quotes

    • Mr. Bruner: Life's about taking risks. Don't be afraid to put yourself out there.

    • Mr. Bruner: [reading a text sent by Nadine to a boy she has a crush on] "You're complicated, and simple, and I feel this connection between us. I feel like I already know you." This is kinda sweet, I think you're overreacting. "I just want to be with you. I want to give you... head. I want you to put your mouth on my tits. I want to feel you inside me. We can do it in the Petland stockroom."

      Nadine: Say something... Oh my God, say something! Please, help me!

      Mr. Bruner: You need to watch out for run-on sentences.

    • Mona: I wanna go home, fix my hair, put on a beautiful face of makeup, the best dress I own, then take it all off and go to sleep.

      Nadine: Fun!
