Zoo-Wee Mama, Zoo-Wee Mama, a mother!

The childishness of elementary school gradually fades away, and there is still a distance from the mature high school. Junior high school is a period that links the previous and the next, but it is very strange. Junior high school students are in the period of physical development. Precocious children appear tall and full of strength, while children who have not yet developed are still weak and bullied. Children at this stage are particularly active, full of desire for the world, and always have whimsical thoughts in their heads.

After years of primary school life, entering middle school is a brand new environment. Maybe in elementary school, you are a star, a star in the school, and the darling of everyone's eyes, but all of this will be rewritten in middle school, because no one will ignore you. Therefore, the protagonist of our film, in order to be able to leave a name in the school yearbook, racked his brains to use his talents. Learn to wrestle, be a security guard, draw cartoons, and even pretend to be injured to bandage your arms, all in order to attract the attention of others and gain recognition.

It's just that in this small society, if you think this way, others will think the same way. Just like adults, children will play tricks and slander each other in order to be superior and stand out, and their vanity will also expand. But after all, they are all children, and immature ideas often backfire and make a bunch of jokes. This is also the biggest selling point of the film. From this mess of scandals, you may be able to find yourself. Having had similar experiences in childhood, it is easy to resonate.

An hour-and-a-half movie is like an express train going through a memory, going back to the past to find happiness and the lost years...

Diary of a Wimpy Kid quotes

  • Greg Heffley: [smugly] You're way too smart for me Patty Ferrell...

  • Greg Heffley: We'll hide here for the rest of class because I'm not playing that game! It's not fair. He's got all the neanderthals on the same team. It's barbaric!

    Angie Steadman: It's completely barbaric. This place is an intellectual wasteland. But it's nice to meet a person more interested in his mind than his body.

    Rowley Jefferson: You girls get to jump rope. What are you doing hiding?

    Angie Steadman: Avoiding the pain. It all starts in middle school, you know? You're not a kid anymore. The coddling has stopped. Kids are now separated by intelligence. The weak are picked on and girls that you've known since kindergarten won't even talk to you anymore.

    Greg Heffley: Well, it sounds like you've got it all figured out so go back to your book.

    [laughs]

    Angie Steadman: This place is a glorified holding pen. It's where adults put you as you make that awkward transition between child and teenager so they don't even have to look at you.

    [pauses]

    Angie Steadman: Hi. I'm Angie.

    Greg Heffley: [Pulls Rowley's hand away] Great Story! We're going to go now.

    Rowley Jefferson: Why? This is a good spot.

    Angie Steadman: It's a perfect spot. I survived all of the sixth grade here and I would enjoy some like-minded company to get me through the seventh.

    Greg Heffley: Is that the whistle? I think I hear the whistle.

    [laughs]

    Greg Heffley: We need to go!
