growing pains

After watching this movie, I immediately broke away from the story of the girl we chased together in those years and entered the field that I am most familiar with.
Whether it's a novel or a cult, this movie makes me very satisfied.
However, let’s talk about what you don’t like first. At the beginning of this movie, the characters are extremely straightforward and simple, and the beginning of the plot is extremely protracted. Although there are many places that make me feel the need to be warm or real, it is not flattering to put a lot of space on simple character re-creation. Moreover, there are many sloppy scenes, such as the road to the hut, there are many, there is no need to write, you can just skip it, and everyone can know what will happen.
In the second half of the movie, the rhythm suddenly accelerated, the plot developed rapidly, the relationship and conflict between the characters became more obvious and contrasted, and the suspense of the whole story instantly rose.
Living is pain. Although the version I read, the translation of the subtitle group is rather stupid, but this sentence is still very impressive. The last sentence the protagonist said before his death directly and bluntly stated the theme.
Whether it is the continuation of violence or the true meaning of love, living is the most important thing. Living is the simplest feeling the protagonist has after experiencing all this, and it is also the last right the protagonist has.
Although everyone in the story has what they are trying to pursue, they all wake up in the face of living.
Living in pain is a cruel reality. If you are destined to live in pain, you might as well die. This is the only way to be free. I think that's what the movie is really trying to tell us.
