Self-talk

Four stars are given not because of how good the film is, but because it gives a new perspective. In our opinion, Mavis only has an appearance that matches her age. She only lives in her glorious young adult era. And according to common sense, I originally thought that. In the ending part of the film, she should be awakened from her own world for whatever reason (I thought it was a fat guy), and then she began to reflect, search, and abandon all cynical things. Bad emotions, reshape one's outlook on life, values, world outlook...
However, I didn't expect a certain fat man to be a passerby. The fat sister who originally thought it was passerby became the key figure in the plot turning point. . It was this girl who gave some comfort to classmate Mavis that seemed to go further and further on the road to return to normal. . .
Aside from this nonsensical turning point, the ending is worth remembering. Remember the most normal words of Mavis in the film? Once I told my parents that I might be addicted to alcohol, and the other time I told the girl in front that I had a lot of psychological problems, but no one was listening. Everyone was just living in their own opinions, thinking about things for granted, and talking. Self-righteous words. Parents are still treating Mavis in the same way as their children. What they care about is the dessert at her wedding, and whether she pulls her hair indiscriminately... The little fans are even more obvious. Mavis in her eyes is always the school back then. The super idol, and the idol is always right, her embarrassment has also become a superior argument... Is the ending slightly understandable? Whether Mavis really has a problem or not is not certain, well, since the world is so self-talking, it is better to live a little more freely, aside from any problems, there is always nothing wrong with going forward~ since This town thinks you are not normal, just change the town~
