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.

    I found out that it was a showtime production when I opened it, so I went to see it with a little more expectation. Although it is not long and not ugly, I find that I have lost interest in this kind of story. The only impressed line is "You have to learn to express yourself, otherwise no one will want to hear what you are saying." Probably because I have passed the age of my confidant sister, I am really not interested in knowing what the non-speaking person is thinking. Bar.

  • Mr. Freeman: [to Melinda] Hey! You're the tree. Uh, you can eat lunch in here if you want. It's against school rules, but I'm kind of a rebel.

    [gives Melinda a sheet of paper]

    Mr. Freeman: Wow, uh. It's not a place mat. The rule is if you're gonna be in here, you need to be working, so choose your weapon.

    Mr. Freeman: Do something, anything. Hey, does this inspire you?

    Mr. Freeman: Close your eyes. Just do it. I'm the teacher. Can you picture a tree? Any tree.

    Mr. Freeman: There it is. It's burned in your retina. You got it. Do it.

    [gets back into his car]

    Andy Evans: Okay, what did I do this time? Hmm, tell me.

    Rachel Bruin: Remember when you asked me about Melinda Sordino? The girl in the art room. Why did you ask me if I was friends with her?

    Rachel Bruin: Do you know her? How do you know her?

    Andy Evans: [irritated] I was looking for you. Bitch!
