Growing pains

Sometimes, people will have a preference for movies of a certain theme. Even though the types of favorites vary greatly, there is always a type of movie that will impress you and hit you. Undoubtedly, this is the kind of film that is very interesting. If classified, it should be regarded as a story about love, affection, children and growth in the family. This kind of story usually expresses a kind of hidden pain, and this kind of hidden pain is expressed by understatement, but there is a kind of power.

Unlike other youth films, the family here did not experience strong winds and waves, and the children here did not go astray, but swayed between the two, and finally found the outlet of sunshine. My father is an elegant writer. After divorcing his ex-wife three years ago, he has been unwilling to wander in front of the glass windows in front of his ex-wife and the current house. He published his own book while in college, and has always had a deep hostility towards his mother, thinking that the mother’s derailment caused the family’s broken family and the father’s depression; the youngest son went to high school and fell in love with a girl with a history of drug abuse. Love is broken again... Everyone's pain here is real, and this kind of pain is a faint pain, not fatal, but it makes people unable to find an exit from the predicament of life.

What moved me was a few scenes:

1. After the blind date, the father still habitually went to the door of his ex-wife’s house to spy, intending to put the wedding ring on the window sill and let go of the promise he had made before, but at this time he happened to see his ex-wife reading on the sofa—it was himself. I wrote the book; so I picked up the ring again and took it away. Where are people's habits so easy to change? The life of a middle-aged man is boring, he misses the past.

2. The youngest son's girlfriend was drunk and taken away, and was rescued by his parents-embarrassed, unconscious, wrapped in a quilt. When the youngest son held his girlfriend and opened the quilt, he cried so painfully. His tears are so real, he cherishes her more than his girlfriend. That night, he slept alone in the closet, plugged in headphones and listening to music, his eyes were red and swollen, as if the badly injured little beast needed to find a dark and safe place to sleep. The closet is the place where he and his girlfriend first night. It is the beginning of his youthful dream and the end of the broken dream.

3. The eldest daughter and her boyfriend are in the car and ask each other their favorite music. It was raining outside, the boys told her to close her eyes, and then a piece of slow music swayed. In the dark, the masks of hatred and cynicism for life were removed from each other, and the girl shed tears. There is always a song that will make you cry, because it can remind you of your most difficult memory.

I always feel that my puberty is longer than others. At the young age of others, I seem to live an old-fashioned life. And when others have grown up into society and will not struggle with nasty growth, I am still trapped in all kinds of sensitive emotions, contending with the real society, and it seems out of place. Mencius once said, "Those who advance with strength will retreat." I am afraid this is the kind of retreat. The dull pain in the process of growing up is covered up, and you can still live a polite life, but you know this is not true. The injuries you have suffered emotionally are real and will exist for a long time. It's just that you can carry on with this dull pain and continue to live as if you have never been hurt.

Many adults have a disabled child living in their bodies. He needs love, needs to be taken care of, needs comfort. You can't get rid of him, you can only hide him and ignore him. You work, you work hard, you live well, you have grown up. When can you reconcile with the dull pain of your own growth and find an exit?

Stuck in Love. quotes

  • Bill Borgens: I could hear my heart beating. I could hear everyone's heart. I could hear the human noise we sat there making, not one of us moving, not even when the room went dark.

  • Samantha Borgens: There are two kinds of people in this world: hopeless romantics and realists.

    Rusty Borgens: Right.

    Samantha Borgens: A realist just sees that face and packs it in with every other pretty girl they've ever seen before. The hopeless romantic becomes convinced that God put them on Earth to be with that one person. But there is no God and life is only as meaningful as you fool yourself into thinking it is. Guys who get laid a lot are realists. You should be listening.
