never, rarely, sometimes, always

The portrayal of some scenes in the movie is quite realistic, including the way of getting along with the cousins, the stubbornness of the girl in the dilemma, and the investigation dialogue in the hospital. impact.

The male characters in the film represent the impact on women in family, school, workplace and emotional relationships. Because she has always been in an environment that is not treated seriously and fairly, the heroine is lost in it, and she deals with everything passively and tacitly. She is obviously a victim, but she can only deal with the bitter fruit in confusion... The bad and estranged father Female relationships, workplace sexual harassment bosses and verbally molested male customers, malevolent treatment and bullying male classmates, although various roles that disrespect women have been set up around the female protagonist dramatically, but they do also show women in today's society. Precarious situation. What's more interesting is that on the line of emotional relationship, the character of the boy who has a good impression of his cousin is more subtle, not very obvious or bad, but it is also taking advantage of the girl's desperate dilemma to give the other party a kind of supremacy. The sense of oppression and the dazed feeling of being forced to obey, although there is no further shameless sexual demands, the subtle sense of the increasingly close physical contact and the final kiss will also make the viewer as a woman think about what this is. How much more male-dominated gray area is there in a relationship? Even if it is true that the cousin is motivated by financial needs, the unwillingness to develop further relationships and kissing is a real objective reality. How can women know and protect themselves? As women, perhaps we should also face up to the problems that make us uncomfortable in all relationships...

    This is the first time I watch a movie that conveys the physical pain of a girl in such a subtle way. Although there is no specific scene, my hands are shaking as I watch it. The males in the film are basically negative images, but the doctors and nurses are really gentle and humane. . The pain of moving boxes in the subway really resonates too much... These old subway stations always have no barrier-free elevators, and the escalators up are always closed!

    Before I read it, the four words are like prose. After I read it, I realize that the name is so direct. The director is so patient and I love her little cuts and reflections. The lens is unremarkable, which also means that the lens never takes over. She tells the bad things that girls can encounter in an orderly manner. Despite this, the traces of calculation are not too strong, and she adds a lot of life-like plots like carrying a suitcase and taking the subway, which makes the story very convincing. However, like the fireworks at the end of "The Beach Rats", the works still have an academy atmosphere, but lack some kind of wild power, maintain such patience and calm in an anti-intellectual society, and keep the boundaries between things and things. Sad, but extremely rare.
