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.
In the process of watching, there are actually many In the plot, the confusion encountered by the protagonist is also confusing me. It is not these problems that are confusing me, but the problems that everyone will encounter when growing up. Li Weisi, a dentist who also looks like a psychiatrist, has...

"Thumbsucker" (Thumbsucker), the 17-year-old boy Justin in the film was backed by a bunch of big-name movie stars and won the actor of the 2005 Berlin Film Festival. Justin could not help but suck his thumb in high school. The school diagnosed him as attention deficit disorder. He is an extremely sensitive but lucky boy with a happy family. After ups and downs, he calmly accepted his thumb sucking method. We are always looking for the perfect answer to the problem, the key is how to live...

Psychology in film: the road to identity
Adolescent children often think about "Where do I come from? Who am I? Where am I going?" Such questions, behind these questions, are the young people's desire to explore and understand themselves. 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 calls Dr. Perry asking him to take back the hypnosis he still feels under]
Justin Cobb: Perry. It worked.
Dr. Perry Lyman: That's wonderful.
Justin Cobb: No, I - I didn't think it would be like this. Can you put it back? or something?
Dr. Perry Lyman: Your subconscious has taken its course.
Justin Cobb: Please, I really feel crazy.
Dr. Perry Lyman: Stick with it, Justin. Call on your power animal for help.
[Justin looks at the phone confused and hangs up]
[Justin and his little brother Joel both walk to the bike race that Dr. Perry is a contestant in, to make Perry crash his bicycle by holding up animal photos crossed with red X's]
Joel Cobb: This is gonna be stupid. I thought you liked that guy.
Justin Cobb: He just pretended to be my friend, Joel. If you're scared, you can go home.
Joel Cobb: All right.
Justin Cobb: Joel! I'm sorry, okay? Perry fucked me up.
Joel Cobb: How?
Justin Cobb: He said he'd help me. And then he just fucked me up, okay? Joel. Just this once! Please.
Joel Cobb: Goddamn it.
[Justin begins his first real debate]
Debate Official: Okay, today's topic for spar is the media, with an emphasis on TV violence. Elise Burns.
Debater Elise - 'TV Violence Kills Morality': It's just sick. TV violence kills moralitiy, particularly amongst teens. The studies prove it. Day after day, kids watch shows with gunshots. And the next thing you know, someone's dead.
Debater Mark - 'Whatever, Speedfreak': Television is a Trojan horse in our homes. It claims to give us education and entertainment, but it really just takes the imaginations of today's youth hostage in the process.
Debater Kate - 'Accountability Needs to Be Enforced.': Yeah, I agree. I mean, Media conglomerates say they want to change, but it's all double talk. I mean, accountability needs to be forced.
Debater Mark - 'Whatever, Speedfreak': I concur, but let's go further. TV contributes to the decay of the American family. And once the family goes... down goes our institutions and up goes our drug abuse. Ditto gambling and pornography.
Justin Cobb: You have no evidence to support that claim.
[the debaters pause]
Justin Cobb: Images aren't reality. Violence in art goes back to Egypt. What's important is teaching people to be skeptical. To draw a line. To distinguish between images and life. Lisa, what's your opinion?
Debater Lisa - 'You're Right. TV's Not Real': Well, you're right. TV's not real.
Debater Mark - 'Whatever, Speedfreak': Hold on. Reality is not the point here. Social decline is.
Justin Cobb: Kate, reaction?
Debater Kate - 'Accountability Needs to Be Enforced.': Oh, no, go, ahead.
Justin Cobb: Mark, I understand the spirit of your refutation. But society and its coneption of reality are inextricable.
[Justin wins the debate from the silence of the other debaters]
