We can't run away with a smile

The movie is the story of a girl in the cardamom years. Focusing on a protagonist always tends to amplify the emotions and plot. After all, this is just a child's growth process.
She ended up telling good friends and mom. They are all others. Fortunately, she has been talking to herself, not running away. Some people want to make themselves happy when they are sad, so they force themselves to stop thinking about it, stop holding on to the knot, and tell themselves that I can live happily despite all this. But accumulated up to now, those unpleasant things and thoughts are like wounds that haven't healed completely, and they still hurt when touched a little. We all used to laugh and run away. Avoid all unhappiness, avoid all things that you are not willing to face and accept, and maybe you will avoid growth later. When you are sad, don't force yourself to be happy, and of course when you are happy, you don't have to think about happiness and sadness. Facing the unhappy self, learn to feel yourself, and then you can speak to them calmly.

  • Mr. Freeman: Can anybody tell me what this is?

    [holds up a smashed globe]

    Ivy: A globe?

    Mr. Freeman: A globe? Gosh... what are you guys, 13, 14? You already let them beat the creativity outta you? It's okay. I used to let my daughters kick this around my studio when it was too wet too play outside and one day, Jenny put her foot right through Texas and the entire United States crumbled into the sea. I mean, you could... you could paint a wet muzzled dog chewing Alaska! The possibilities are endless. It's almost too much, but you all are important enough to give it too.

  • Mr. Freeman: In here is a piece of paper and on that piece of paper is a word. You are gonna spend the rest of the year turning that object into art.

    Ivy: Uh, Mr. Freeman? When I was little, I was really scared of clowns and I don't wanna relapse and have to go back into therapy.

    Mr. Freeman: Oh, yeah, well, fear is a great place to begin art.

    [Melinda picks a piece of paper that says "tree" and tries to put it back]

    Mr. Freeman: Hey! Whoa. You just chose your destiny. You can't change that.

    Melinda Sordino: I learned how to draw a tree in like the 2nd grade.

    Mr. Freeman: Oh, really? Um. Well, do you wanna show me? It's okay. I won't grade you.

    [he hands her the chalk and Melinda sulks up to the blackboard and very hesitantly draws a really pathetic tree]

    Mr. Freeman: That's a pretty good start. Yeah, let's see what it looks like at the end of the year.
