read it twice

In my memory, I have never watched a movie twice in a row.
After reading it for the first time, I read the first four popular film reviews, and excerpted some touching sentences or paragraphs:
Who knows, if a heart closes its eyes and lingers in the dark for a long time, then it will eventually change What does it look like? ...it will adapt to the dark, and then slowly strangle itself in the dark. ...as in the biblical sentence: "The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness does not receive the light". ...... Maybe God specially arranged for me to experience it myself, so that I can better understand the feeling of the disease and the true meaning of madness, so that I can help more people get out of this stagnant situation.

Lisa. She's charismatic, wild, and the queen of lunatics. ... "Looking directly at death, actually confronting it, I realized that the dream of death is stupid." She began to understand how high the price of madness was. To have such a numb and cold heart can ignore such a bloody reality and continue to walk in your dreams. ...madness can't really take her away from the confusion and pain of growing up, she no longer runs away, no longer uses death and madness to drive away the pain of clear thinking, she faces them, writes them down, draws them, and tells them What she's desperately trying to numb herself to escape from isn't all that terrifying. ...Crazy doesn't have to be traumatic or cryptic, it's just the ego being magnified. If you can tolerate the dark side of the world, you will find a path full of sunshine for yourself.

Every troubled teenager seems to go through a period of time in his life where he imagines committing suicide, completing the journey from darkness and chaos to light and clarity
in an almost obsessive violence. Such
a long or short period of time is an interrupted time. During this process, the
teenager Watching the soul's transformation from manic-depressive to peaceful
Find a way to get along with yourself
We often say that every growth is a death,
so this need not imagine that it will eventually come, all we need to do is:
Being patient enough with yourself to endure life is not going with the flow or being numb
Give yourself time to choose to say goodbye and discard something and move on
...
Even if the unease in your blood and the resistance to the outside world are like an invisible time bomb, Before the ticking time, sooner or later, it will explode. But as long as you have time, you can find a way to dismantle this cloaking device in agitation and fear. Defuse potential crises. ...
on the one hand, a child who wants to grow up; on the other hand, a child who is afraid of growing up.
On the one hand, they want to return to normal children; on the other hand, they deliberately indulge their children.
When conflicts and divisions are lost and sensitive - you
must relax, tension, chaos, fear, cruelty... will eventually pass.
Just hold on, and the magic will be dispelled.
A world of misery full of destructiveness and infinitely magnified by the ego is about to sleep forever.
Dawn is coming. Just take it easy and take it easy.

There are too many people in the 80s and 90s who can freely choose material and culture. They have similar experiences: suicide attempts, endless fantasies, unwilling to grow up to avoid the world, self-righteousness, contempt for the hypocrisy and filth of the world .

Here's how I felt when I watched it for the first time:
even though Lisa's naked numbness a few times was horrible, she felt awesome, better than Susanna, who was just a melancholy beautiful thin woman, and, I really didn't It felt like Lisa was the legendary Angelina Jolie, and even thought the latter was.
Because I was always uneasy when I read it, I didn't see or understand many places clearly.
The words at the end of the film made me cry, but I laughed again when the ending song played, it was amazing...
Then I thought, maybe I should write down my thoughts in my diary more, thinking, Or, I should also find a psychiatrist to pour out the strange, secret, and just for the sake of talking and pouring out.

The second time I saw it, I was still in a state of unease. Many people who didn't understand it the first time understood it, and many still didn't understand it.
Both the film and the review are pretty good, and they seem to be telling me something about growing up that I hadn't thought about before, about getting out of my sad self.
