The first season was the best season in my opinion. The secret rivalry with friends as a child, life in a barren age, Lila and Elena need to help their family when they are in the town class assessment, almost from the child's point of view, so you will see so many "fuzzy" event, will go out of the tunnel to find the sea. These things are very much like children who wonder about the world, just like the childhood I had. Elena seems sluggish, presumably because she's been given the "good girl, good student" comment, but she's also eager to change things and passionate, so she shows a delay. Lila's hatred of the patriarchal society, the awakening of female consciousness and equality consciousness, not only many of our children will not think about it, but even adults will not be so radical. Seeing them save money to buy books to read "Little Women" and write "Blue Fairy" is something I never did boldly in my childhood. Why do we need fiction? Need art? I think this is also a reason, because the novel will make you feel the same way, and it will make it easier for you to think about whether there are more possibilities in your life; at the same time, the specific words and actions provided in the novel directly reflect the resistance of people , a new life offers a possible way.
Whether or not the two gifted girls can go to middle school is faced with the constraints of the times (the system of free schooling in public schools has not yet appeared, and the country’s general economic conditions are average), and social prejudice constraints (such as the “girls” mentioned by Elena’s mother? No need to go to school”, girls need to stay at home to help their mothers with housework, etc), incomprehension from peers, etc. But they can "comparison" with each other, support each other, encourage each other, and it is really a "miracle" friendship. Seeing their fate in school, Elena was asked by her family to get all A's, and she suddenly felt that studying in today's era is really much easier than it was at the time. Elena's confusion after high school is probably because she is not a person with goals. He will have the consciousness of surpassing his peers, but he will not have too many long-term plans. For example, she later played Antonio in the second season. Feelings will feel a little inexplicable to individuals, and most of the time it is more like an act of rights and interests. The group discussion about menstruation in the first season was also very interesting. People hated it at first, and then just had to accept it. Isn't this how everything happens in the world?
"My Gifted Girlfriend" is not just a book about best friends, it is not just a friendship between two girls. I personally think it can also be understood as a discussion of feminism and a reflection on the fate of women - in a patriarchal society What can we hope for beyond the "roles" arranged? To fight for what? How to fight for it?
