Youth is the one-man show of the heart

Every stage of life is faced with various embarrassments, and it seems that we will never be able to cope with the changes and growth that come at that time.

When we look back on our adolescence, we may be amused by the foolish self at the time, and feel sorry for the self at that time. Those little things that are not worth mentioning now have become the problems of our life and death at that time.

The film fully depicts the major events of adolescence as "the little things of adulthood, the big things of youth". The girl in the film is in constant torment. She is worrying about some things that adults think are irrelevant now. She is tossing and tossing all the time, trying to toss things out to a result that she thinks is reasonable.

It is like a line, you crumple it into a ball and become a maze on the road of youth, but when you have passed the age of growth, as long as you pull it gently, you will find that it is only what you have walked on the number axis of life A small, flat, straight-line journey.

Many people say that the heroine is angry because of inexplicable reasons. Everyone around her loves her and tolerates her. She attacks and hates everyone. Most of the time, nothing happens, but the heroine's inner drama is too rich and she thinks she is Very lonely, poor.

I don't know if it was during my adolescence that I was a very fanciful and sensitive person, but I thought it was so reasonable. When I watch a movie, I am her, isn't that how we grew up? Sensitive and autistic, sometimes complaining about others, most of the time he is the enemy of the world, and then thinks that the whole world is a fool.

People say that when you think everyone else is an idiot, you are the biggest idiot.

Yes, the female lead who is sensitive to puberty is a big fool. Those outsiders who say she did it are like the heroine's friend and mother in the play. Don't everyone in the play think she did it, so what should we do? We are like this in adolescence.

So the film is well done, when you don't understand the film, you say the heroine is the main character, and the film is boring. This is the edge of growth. People who are growing up are Zuo, people who don't understand, fight to the death with the whole world, and then do a bunch of stupid things.

Although I am an adult, past that stage. But the film still resonates with people all the time, making me seem to have returned to that youthful era when everything went wrong.

This is youth, this is growth.

    An easily overlooked low-budget film with a well-written, youthful campus story with content. Hailey performed very well, the Asian brother looks like Zhang Yi. It turns out that it is also a debut work, and the director is commendable. [B]

    8.0 There are no losers in the world, only hypocritical losers, because losers are hypocritical, and if you are not hypocritical, you are not a loser, girl, you are not a loser, as long as you are not hypocritical.

The Edge of Seventeen quotes

  • Mr. Bruner: [reading a text sent by Nadine to a boy she has a crush on] "You're complicated, and simple, and I feel this connection between us. I feel like I already know you." This is kinda sweet, I think you're overreacting. "I just want to be with you. I want to give you... head. I want you to put your mouth on my tits. I want to feel you inside me. We can do it in the Petland stockroom."

    Nadine: Say something... Oh my God, say something! Please, help me!

    Mr. Bruner: You need to watch out for run-on sentences.

  • Mona: I wanna go home, fix my hair, put on a beautiful face of makeup, the best dress I own, then take it all off and go to sleep.

    Nadine: Fun!
