It is an independent film with a sense of self-salvation. It was criticized because of the emotions abused by literary youth and ordinary plots, and it was controversial because of Stewart's popularity again. I like the 13-year-old Stewart, who is young and talented, and her poker face is just right here. There is also its simplicity. The two clues that interweave reality and memory in the linear sequence are clearly visible. The simple scenes of the classroom, the bedroom and the bus have faded away. The most magnificent is Melinda’s art class and the small world she built for herself, which I want to call a "tree house": a whole wall is covered with paintings of trees, branches cut by lightning, luxuriant leaves, The models made by the skeleton all have an upward direction and the power to break apart. At this time, its meaning can be condensed into "art saves life".
But apart from these, it will be my favorite movie of the year. Melinda, who was alone in the process of drawing the tree, found her way out. She curled up on the bus and held the sketchbook, reminding me of the situation where I was drawing Han Xin on the white paper in front of me. I know that feeling too well. In 76 minutes, Melinda, wearing orange and red short sleeves, walked to sit next to Rachel, his nine-year-old friend, and finally spoke out everything. I don't care about the plot afterwards. This scene is enough. The orange is rendered directly, blending the brightness of yellow and the enthusiasm of red. I never thought of the meaning of this power to me on the second day of watching the movie. That day, I saw Han Xin by accident. After the emotions in my heart flickered for several times, I took her hand and spoke out everything. Completed my self-salvation. The whole McDonald's is silent at this time, I just feel that we are surrounded by orange and yellow, this is not the color of God.
