I'm a stiff adult

When I was 15 years old in 2005, I was moved by this film for a long time. I still remember the first time I watched it and cried while watching it. Maybe I was a teenager at that time, and my life was very depressed and my mood was unstable. I would recommend it to everyone. I also bought the original book and comics, and really treated this movie as a god movie. Especially for Soma Mitsuko and Mimura, I can't tell the love.

It's early October 2021, and now I'm 30 years old. After watching "Squid Game", on a whim, I turned it out and revisited it. To be honest, I don't like "Squid" very much. I hate that the protagonist will only cry, shouting for justice, and the tool people will do evil things and enjoy the results. It's boring, the classics that stand up to human scrutiny!

Time, how did you turn a soft and romantic girl into a sensible middle-aged woman? In my eyes, why did the heroine become a winner without doing anything? Because it looks cute? The male protagonist pity her and protect her. The hero and heroine were lucky enough to meet Kawada, so they sat and enjoyed it, ended and survived. Not realistic in minutes? ?

After the beatings in life, adults will no longer be moved by "the meaning of Keiko's smile" and "I just don't want to sit still." On the contrary, I am more sympathetic to Mimura, who is persistent in getting into a prestigious school and trying hard to find a way to do things.

After watching it more than ten years later, the soundtrack of this play is still very good, and the male lead's skills still feel very young. Japanese-style sensationalism, like the snow returning to the wind, can no longer be sprinkled into the heart of my cold social animal. .

What are the advantages of being an adult? That is, minors are more rational and not easily moved.

    Teacher Kitano: I go into class, you guys look like a pile of potatoes. Slapping them around helped me tell them apart, even got to like them. But now, not anymore. Now you touch a student, you're fired. Can't even lose it when a student stabs you!

    Noriko Nakagawa: I'll tell you just one thing.

    Teacher Kitano: What?

    Noriko Nakagawa: That knife that stabbed you... actually I keep it in my desk at home. When I picked it up, I wasn't sure... but now, for some reason, I really treasure it. It's our secret, okay? Just between us.

    Teacher Kitano: Listen, Nakagawa.

    Noriko Nakagawa: Yes?

    Teacher Kitano: What do you think a grown-up should say to a kid now?
