At least for me, it's a good movie

Literary and artistic works are intended to touch people's hearts. French films have always been good at this kind of mood that does not eat human fireworks and is far from human nature. This movie is like a hazy but real memory. I don't know how many girls stood there countless times in their long childhood watching boys play football, climb trees, and mischief. In the movie, Lisa says to Laure, who pretends to be Miguel, at least you can choose not to play football, they won't let me in. Laure fantasized about being a boy, and even hated her daughter because she was helpless. I don't like pink rooms, I don't like lace skirts, I don't like blush, I cut my swimsuits short, and I spit like boys shirtless. Every time I see Laure talking to myself in front of the mirror, I can't help but think of the reality that I gradually recognized in my childhood - we are born with shackles. This kind of camouflage often appears ridiculous and deformed in front of reality. When all the little boys unbuttoned their pants and spread them out in the grass, this tomboy could only run to the depths of the woods and squat down to relieve himself. Silly child, wake up, since you are born, you can only choose to squat down, even if you carefully squeeze out the size of the plasticine, it is only separated. The cruelest moment in the movie was when the mother found out the truth and gave Laure a mouth in a fit of anger. Both mother and daughter's eyes were red. What my mother did next really broke my heart: throwing a dress to the tomboy, dragging her to a playmate's house, debunking her lies. It was a bloody thump, and the little boy's playmate looked at her strangely, like he'd never known the spitting, shirtless comrade he played football with. In the end, the destination is the home of the little lover. I wished Lisa would give her a hug, but no, Lisa turned back to the room with a look of disappointment and anger. Mama really destroyed the whole world of this child. Her friends, the people she liked, turned their heads away.
