      our adolescence

      I like this movie, I like the process of the heroine's pursuit of herself.

      She is very beautiful, but the moment she saw her winning the game, the corners of her lips flew up when she looked back, shining like a diamond.

      She is so beautiful in her first love, like a jasmine flower that is about to bloom, shy but bravely exuding fragrance.

      But God is fair, how can a flower that does not experience wind and rain shine brightly, and the moment she slaps the...

      "Roller Girl" - Family first, competition second

      I downloaded a movie very early, hoarded it on the computer and watched it now. I regret why I didn’t watch it before, but maybe I can understand the meaning of it only by watching it now.

            Blaise, who was supposed to obey her mother's life arrangements, was a rebellious girl at heart. On the surface, she obeyed her mother's advice to participate in the beauty contest, but she was actually very resistant. She has her own ideals and wants to be a roller skating girl. Maybe she's...

      Feel free

      17-year-old Brisbane is going to a beauty pageant, but she's not happy because it's not the life she wants. On the surface, Bliss, who is a good girl, has a kind of unruly in her heart and hopes to pursue the life she wants. When she met roller skating, she could no longer suppress herself. Of course she was hiding it from her parents, she knew that 200% of them would not agree.
         Brisbane's mother, as her husband describes her, "she is a warrior" and a strong woman, so she wants her...

      Proficient use of classic routines

      Ellen Page's movie is really good. Juno left a deep impression on me, and Hard Candy made more people know him and left a shock. Those beautiful eyes always attract me so that I can't forget this girl~~~ (of course, don't watch it too close)

      The movie itself is bland and belongs to the classic scenes of American movies. To sum up casually:
      1. I have a little personality, and I will have a little conflict with my family or friends
      2. The person likes something, which can be...

      Chinese parents should watch more of these movies

      It's another story about how to mediate the conflict between the parent's hope of becoming a child and the child's true hobbies.
      I believe that American parents are not necessarily “good” parents who are reasonable and reasonable, but the direction of public opinion there is more correct. Parents watch local mainstream movies, TV, and newspapers, and their ideas will be corrected and guided. In contrast, the mainstream in the mainland There are many wrong opinions such as the public...

    Evaluation action

    Drew Barrymore, the starring actress’s directorial debut, delivered a good result. The theme of roller skating sports is exactly the embodiment of Drew's unruly personality in his youth. After all, Drew is not young anymore. She asked Elliot Page, a Canadian girl with amazing performance in "Fruit Candies", to play the seventeen-year-old Briss, and Drew also participated in the role as a roller skating captain. Although it is the first...
