There is no shortcut to getting old

At the beginning, I watched two people listening to symphony and opera, writing letters regularly by hand, two pages of blank paper neatly written down, never talk about oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, only talk about how sacred and ethereal opera is, plus the male protagonist is listed in white The vertical formula on the paper is thirty-five minus sixteen. I almost think this is another film similar to "growth education"-charming middle-aged man and precocious literary girl, standard plus dazzling adults There must be a little dirty secret hidden behind the world.
It wasn't until the old professor started to sit in the office and argue with the person he hired twenty years ago and failed, or Zac Efron, whom I never recognized, came in the middle of the night with the friendship of Little Red Riding Hood, I gradually felt, "The love of liberal arts "This translated name is not good, it's not good.

To say what "Liberal Arts" is talking about, it's hard to find a single sentence to talk about, but at least it must be more than a relationship that grows up with each other.
The plot breaks away from "growth education" when Jesse saw a novel about vampires in Zibby's dormitory. The two had a disagreement and began to discuss the meaning of the existence of such recreational books. Zibby retorted him, "You have not read it, just say that you hate how it differs from a dictatorship." Jesse lived up to expectations and spent a few days reading the novel, and then later. Solemnly talk about the reasons why they shouldn't exist. ——Secondary II Literature The middle-aged is still obsessed with obscure tome novels and cool English literature professors, young girls who are new to college subconsciously want to make contact with mature people a shortcut to mature themselves.
But at the same time, it was the old and wise professor who was unwilling to want to return to his post. Although he said, wherever he stayed for a long time, it was like a prison. Although he said that he felt that he had never grown up after 19 years old, but you have to understand that even if you are surrounded by 19 year olds, even if you think you are still 19 years old, you are not.
You can get old, you will get old, but you cannot be sure that if you will be able to be wise.
So it should be foreseeable that when the problem touches sex, the girl who wants to be old and wise and the middle-aged literary man who wants to be old and wise will inevitably encounter a dispute and disagreement that will change the relationship. A person who feels that he is already responsible enough for himself, and a person who thinks that this is a world full of Consequences and needs to be down-to-earth.
What’s fun is that the second male secondary school finally met the cool literature professor who was very admired that night. After being put on a bed by the cool literature professor as a sex tool, the professor hurriedly blasted him away-the second male secondary moment If you’re confused, the youth idol’s disillusionment doesn’t
matter, but what had happend. The professor said, life happened. The professor also said that people are disappointing. The professor lit a cigarette and said, "Why aren't you leaving?!"
So Zibby still understands that there is no shortcut to getting old, and Jesse finally understands that "Secondary 2 is not a morbid attitude."

It's like a growth education for the whole people. We can’t stop reading, but we can’t turn reading into a way to escape reality. Books make you open and narrow, and finally become a reason for your refusal to grow. Growing up in the body becomes an antibody that resists the world. Your changes, but you have to understand that not all unpleasant changes are bad.
We cannot be nineteen forever. Nor can he be a genius who died young. What we should do is to grow old slowly and slowly.
You have to unmute your phone, sometimes close your book, and go for a walk.

    What I like most about this film is that the cool woman who taught English romantic literature taught some lines: All you can’t live without is a prison. When you read books occupy most of your life, you should close your books and go out to see the world more. But when you are in life, you feel that it is not as happy as reading a book by the bedside.

Liberal Arts quotes

  • Nat: Want some good news?

    Jesse Fisher: Yes, please.

    Nat: Caterpillars... give me my hat... they're just scooping along, right? Being caterpillars. At some point, these cells show up, called imaginal cells. Scientists don't know where they come from or why they appear. These imaginal cells show up inside the caterpillar and say: "Get psyched, caterpillar! It's butterfly-turning-into time!" And what do all the other caterpillars do once these imaginal cells show up?

    Jesse Fisher: I have no idea.

    Nat: They attack 'em! Try to kill 'em! They're, like: "Screw you, imaginal cells. We're happy being a caterpillar. Get lost!" But eventually, the imaginal cells keep growing and overtake the destiny of the caterpillar. They will be in this cocoon! And then guess what happens next?

    Jesse Fisher: The caterpillar turns into a butterfly.

    Nat: [repeats him excitedly] The caterpillar turns into a butterfly!

    Jesse Fisher: That's awesome.

    Nat: I know it is!

    Jesse Fisher: Yeah, that's good.

    Nat: And that is why there is no reason to be afraid. Because everything is okay.

    Jesse Fisher: Yeah, I don't know if I believe that.

    Nat: It has to be true. There can be no other way.
