Because a boy in the same class in junior high school also had this kind of behavior---sucking his thumb, so I really want to know what is going on?
The movie tells us that the uncontrollable thumb sucking of adolescent children may really be a non-serious mental illness, which involves a wide range of family, growth, interpersonal relationships, and education. . . Maybe there is a problem in which link, so you will keep sucking your thumb, especially when the pressure...

Fresh and bright style, simple picture, growing confusion, faint first love of boys and girls... Everything is so simple, the simple thing is that there will be problems all the time in life.

Psychology in film: the road to identity

They expect to define themselves; expect to summarize their own solid values; expect to have stable and independent personality characteristics and temperament; expect to feel that they are the same individual in different times and situations. Only after these mature desires are fulfilled can they...

At 139 minutes, the film is rich in content such as the birth of the universe, dinosaurs, a family of five in a small Texas town, and conjectures about the end of life. The film has both amazing narrative techniques and horrific artificial fragments; some parts should be played. Five stars, but even one star is too much in some places. Considering the overall consideration, I gave the middle three stars, but this does not actually represent a fair evaluation - in any case, "The Tree of Life" is...

[Justin tells his father at work that he was accepted into college]
Mike Cobb: Well, you know, what does it mean?
Justin Cobb: It means I want to go.
Mike Cobb: Just like that?
Justin Cobb: They want me to go to their summer-school thing. They want me to make up some math and language credits this summer.
[long pause]
Mike Cobb: [quiet, and sad Mike says] I was just getting used to you.
Mike Cobb: [stands up after another pause and taps on his work desk] I gotta go deal with this shipment.
[Mike stares at Justin before padding his head and walking out]

[Justin talks with Mr. Geary about how his medication is going]
Mr. Geary: How are you doing with the, uh, medication?
Justin Cobb: I read Moby Dick straight through.
Mr. Geary: That's great. But how do you feel?
Justin Cobb: I feel... like me. I never really did before.
Mr. Geary: Have you had any other breakthroughs beside the book?
Justin Cobb: It used to be kind of a hassle to put on underwear in the morning, but now it's kinda easy.
Mr. Geary: Yeah.
Justin Cobb: I actually listened to the words to the Pledge of Allegiance today, and they - gave me chills
Mr. Geary: I've always felt that you have a real sensitivity when it comes to language. And I know that you're smart. I think you see a lot more than you take responsibility for. That kind of perception you have that can't be taught by anyone.
