Stop messing around, it's useless

I want to pretend that I don't care to recommend this movie to others, but I don't dare to say that this is because I see a part of myself in the heroine. For the timid and inferior self, what is more angry than the existence of other people's children is the confident elder brother who is exuding confidence in front of him. Therefore, the heroine has been inexplicably hostile to her brother since she was a child, and even her mother, who loves her brother very much, also holds grudges together. Only her father, maybe before meeting K, can let her temporarily put away the hostile thorn, because he will try to understand her instead of blindly accusing her. She is withdrawn and bullied since she was a child, and there is no hero who suddenly appeared to save her from dire straits, so she simply closed herself up, as if hypnotizing herself, "It's not that I'm not gregarious, it's just that most people in the world are too plain. Ignorance is superficial, and I'm not like them, and my pride doesn't allow me to condescend by the way." (This idea was later revealed by her teacher - you just refused to admit that you were unpopular.) Krista was Nadine's only friend at the time, and it could be said that she was the only point of contact with the outside world other than her father. The relationship between them can make Na temporarily put aside her awkwardness towards the world. It seems that all this has become different from before. Even if the same withdrawn and even bullied, as long as she is no longer alone, life will be better. Not so sad either. So sometimes a friend is really a magical existence. You may be disappointed in life and end your life in the next second, but when you think of your friend, you can always wait a few seconds. After his father passed away due to illness, K took on all of N's emotional sustenance. Just because she is alone, her possessiveness is particularly strong. She can't accept that K is with her brother who "looks down" on her, she can't accept that K is chatting and laughing with others, and she can't accept that she is integrated into a new circle and she is still out of tune with the people around her. This is a kind of betrayal for n who is sensitive and insecure, so she fell out with k. After the Cold War with k, n's vigilance against the surrounding world can be said to have reached the highest level. Her previous awkwardness is back, as if the world is so big but there is no place for her, and the only person she can pour out on is the teacher she doesn't necessarily like very much. You can say that she did it, but in adolescence, who doesn't do it, and who can live peacefully and peacefully? The emotional turning point of the whole play came after n asked the male god who had a crush on him for a long time and found out the true face of the male god occurring. At that time the whole world was about to explode. The only good friend is close to breaking up, and the male god who has been secretly in love for so long just wants to lose his kidneys. When she was in such a state of embarrassment, seeing the brother she hated was going to explode, so she rushed to pick up her brother instead of her mother and lost her temper. Later, under her brother's accusation, she realized that she was not the only one who was sad. Even her brother, who was shrouded in light, was no exception, but she turned a blind eye, just thinking that the whole world owed her, and ignored the contributions of others. After all, shame defeated the original stubbornness. Finally, n slowly figured it out. You see, I'm not the only one who has a bad life, everyone is the same, this is a stage and a part of life. You say no one cares about you, but you can't reject everyone in the first place. In the same way, don't take yourself too seriously. Everyone else is not doing it the same way, so why should you hold it like this? In the end, she finally reached a reconciliation with herself and the world at a certain moment, let go of all her guards, and tried to walk into life, no matter how good or bad, she tried to accept it. Like it's suck, you'll like it as Monica said The rotten sesame millet thing is not your rebellious period, but your spiritual adolescence. I don't know if you have ever had a period of downturn that is out of tune with this world, whether you have closed yourself like the heroine, and whether you can see your own shadow in the heroine. I think growth is not only a physical change, but also a spiritual change. It is a process of slowly learning to accept the world and yourself. Well, that's a story about self-reconciliation. ps: The Asian face in it is so handsome ah ah ah ah, is my little brother still single? (Life sucks, but you always like it) I like this movie because his story about youth is not just about the rotten sesame and millet things that happened in adolescence, not your rebellious periods, but you the spiritual dimension of adolescence. I don't know if you have ever had a period of downturn that is out of tune with this world, whether you have closed yourself like the heroine, and whether you can see your own shadow in the heroine. I think growth is not only a physical change, but also a spiritual change. It is a process of slowly learning to accept the world and yourself. Well, that's a story about self-reconciliation. ps: The Asian face in it is so handsome ah ah ah ah, is my little brother still single?

    This is a youth growth comedy that uses a formula but is filled with simple and real emotions. It fully understands and firmly grasps the core of the growth theme, that is, accepting reality and facing life positively. It has clever jokes, With well-developed characters and a heartfelt performance from Hailee Steinfeld, it's an easy movie to love.

    An unpretentious youth movie, the OST is super nice! Growing up, when we thought we were important to the world, the world just forgave our naivety. Whose youth is not confused? All the scumbags are out, the hug from my brother is the warmest. Before reconciling with this world, please reconcile with yourself first, the family will always support us! ps Because Huayi Brothers is one of the producers, so there are such cute Asian characters.

The Edge of Seventeen quotes

  • Nadine: [writing a text to a boy she has a crush on] Nick, I'm just gonna say it, I like you. I've liked you for months. I think about you every second. I don't know, maybe I even love you. You're so complicated, but simple, and I just feel this connection between us, I feel like I already know you, and 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.

    [pause]

    Nadine: Oh my god. Oh my god.

    Nadine: [to herself] You sound like a fucking psychopath. You can't send this.

    [She accidentally sends the text]

    Nadine: What? No. Shit... Oh my god. Oh my god, no way, no, no, no way, no. FUCK! Oh my god! Shit!

  • Darian: You're right about everything. I'm only here for me, and my life is fucking incredible. I love it. I love spending another night talking Mom off the ledge, I love only applying to schools nearby, because who knows what'll happen in the house if I'm not around to fix it, and I love...

    [getting choked up]

    Darian: that the one person who makes me feel like I could take a fucking breath... I can't have without completely destroying you. So, you're right. You're right, it's a blast. I win.
