Growing up on the edge, no matter how old you are, you won't feel as much empathy as you do now. The director tells us the pains of youth, the trivial things and obsessions with the world, and the resistance and rebellion that meant all of us in our youth.
The protagonists of youth films are all independent and special, otherwise there are so many things to say, the reckless courage that is synonymous with youth, and the indescribable loss. Lost in youth is the most flavorful life begins to show you countless unknown futures full of temptations or adventures, and the reality is no longer as beautiful as it was when we were children. We begin to discover that the world under the wings of our parents has been hidden behind the scenes, full of In so many dark corners, our doubts about the world and our own existence cannot be answered.
After watching the edge of growth, it is like looking back on a rebellion, perhaps thinking that being different is the personality of those years. The story of the protagonist, his father died prematurely, his best and only friend got together with his disgusted brother, maybe the drama is very common, but it is not always encountered in life. Coincidentally, it's interesting that Growing Edge's own story resonates universally.
The story revolves around one thing. When my mother rushed home to see the messy girl's room, and the countless deadly serial calls that were refused to answer, I had finally had a big quarrel with my brother. Who would have thought that the origin of these various things was actually a small The unwillingness to get off the daily anger. When I think about my youth, how many times the world war with my parents was caused by this or that trivial matter, maybe it was just a time when I got home too late from school, maybe it was just a lie that was caught, maybe it was just a time when I went out to play and forgot to answer the phone, It will become the fuse of youth, leaving us palm prints or thinking behind closed doors. There is also a scene where Nadine finally returned home under the escort of his teacher that night. The close-up of the scene really brought back memories for me. Thinking of the rebellious youth of youth, I feel that the nagging and strength of my parents are prisons. I occasionally break free or resist desperately, but when I finally return home, I stand outside the door and don't want to knock on the door. I think of the immature compromises that my lack of courage brought to youth.
After returning home, the warm embrace of reconciliation with my brother, the transformation of growth was imprinted at this moment. Every time we grow up, we are accompanied by tears. The older we get, the more we know how to understand the kindness of our parents, and we begin to appreciate more and more kindness that accompanied us again and again in our growth path.

Another thing that impressed me deeply was the emoji that Nadine replied after receiving the reply message from the male god. Compared with the lines that were screenshotted and complained about social networks, youth is full of contradictions. In the past, when everyone was addicted to Nicholas Tse, they must make themselves dislike it; when everyone loved Jay Chou, they must make themselves feel that it was nothing more than that; now, when Hallyu is in power, those who think they have a personality must think that they are chasing European and American trends. more level. Everyone is fascinated by the anti-bones. When we are open-minded to try, it is not as cool as we think it is. This may also be growth, people will become more tolerant, this may also be the price of growing up, people tend to be the same. Perhaps growing up is because we realize that we no longer need to highlight our differences to have character. We know how to tolerate and at the same time know how to be ourselves.

My favorite in the whole film, haha, is actually when the teacher comforts Nadine.

You know, you are actually my favorite student.
really?
I just think you'll feel better if you say that.
