After watching the movie, I felt so relieved.

It seemed that the girl had never been seen smiling from the beginning. She is a beautiful girl. But there was always a haggard look on his face. Everyone ostracized her. And is she really the betrayal in the mouths of the people? Summer vacation suffered unspeakable harm. So she chose to shut herself up. Be a decadent person. She has self-respect, so she is reluctant to explain it all. All she wanted to do in the first place was to escape. But everything is different because of art. When the kind art teacher saw something sad in her from her more and more beautiful tree. She encouraged her to say it, and find someone to talk about it. Talk to anyone. This is easier said than done. She chose her former best friend. Melinda was very decadent at first. Her friends say Melinda is the most decadent person she has ever met. And decadence has no good results. So it is best to face it when faced with such and such things. In fact, Melinda did not have a few lines in the whole film, but because of the superb acting skills of the actors, the inner suffering and distress were vividly displayed. The whole film ends perfectly, with the heroine's silent narration. But the depression in my heart lingered. Melinda began to face a new life, saying goodbye to the sunny winter life. But the damage of that period is irreparable. After watching the whole film, it is like having a depressing but blurred dream. Light and shadow, time and those former characters are scattered in front of my eyes, but they cannot be seen in the dream. Then one day, they came back. Everything is as if it never happened.

  • 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.
