J (male lead, justin): Why don't you tell others that we are together?
R: We are not together. Justin.
J: What? Rebecca. I love you
R: You are too serious, this is just a puberty experiment.
J: Experiment?
R: I need more experience. So, I decided to choose you.
J: Choose me?
R: People like you won't hurt me.
J: It's disgusting.
R: Yes, sorry. I'm really sorry. You better go. Justin.
What is our youth made of? Ignorance, ignorance, self-righteous growth? In fact, we are timid, cowardly, longing for real growth, but afraid of taking responsibility. That’s why there are girls like Rebecca who dare not seriously fall in love, are afraid of being involved in a serious relationship, but yearn for pleasure, no matter it is The enjoyment of the body is still the care of the spirit, so there is this kind of relationship between experimentation and being experimented. In fact, I am also such a person. I am afraid of developing a serious relationship, afraid of taking responsibility, afraid of feeling out of breath. I am just more calm and rational than Rebecca, so I didn't go to find someone to experiment. Or, I will do it in the future?

M: She will never admit it, but how can she not be disappointed? The disappointment of everyone is dead.
J: Your knee was injured.
M: Yes, if it wasn't that serious at the time? What if I can stick to it and continue playing? What if your mother is more important?
Mike (Justin's father), after many years, recalled that he left his favorite profession, football player, for a reason that may not be as serious as he thought, and expressed his regret. I don't think this is necessary, it has already happened. According to this regretful character, even if he continues to be an athlete, he will encounter difficulties and setbacks in the future. I feel that instead of being annoyed by the past decisions, it is better to grasp the present, in case he does not do it now. Okay, isn't the future going to continue to be annoyed by the present? Why bother? And I have always deeply believed that the regrets that have not been deliberately emphasized can remind myself at all times, because the true remember is not said with the mouth, but with the heart.

Matt: That night, she (the hero's mother) told me that we are all addicts in a sense. It may be one of our thoughts. Our own thoughts about our lives. It may be an idea of success or failure.
Matt asked Audery: Are you afraid too?
A: A seventeen-year-old son got stuck. Mothers should know everything. But the result is nothing. It may also be the idea that you will no longer be alone once you have a home.
Matt to Justin: It's worth thinking about, right? Sometimes people are not happy to admit it, but we are all just. Cowardly little creatures.
Everyone is a drug addict in a sense, drugs, alcohol, tobacco, coffee, tea, online games, music, novels, binge eating, exercise, weight loss, peeping... even making love, thinking can be addictive, so It’s not surprising that Justin is addicted to thumb sucking. Because what is important is not the object of addiction (except for drugs and other deaths), but the probability of addiction. It is the fact that everyone will become addicted. People will be addicted to some of their own thoughts, and it is difficult to speak completely. Expressive thinking and logic sometimes seem to be randomly wound like irregular coils, invisible at the beginning, and unable to untie at the end. Therefore, we don't need to be afraid. Since everyone is an addict in a certain sense, then we all stand before God as equals. We humans, in fact, can choose not to be the coward as Matt said, as long as we recognize the fact that we are all equal.

J: You never wanted this (about their parents' feelings)? Are you afraid?
Lj: Big things can scare you.
J: You actually don't care. It's too easy for you, Joe
Lj: I hate you for saying these silly things.
J: How?
Lj: I always thought that only you had the problem. do you know? You are always doing weirdos. Do I have to behave normally? Everyone is worrying about you. All the silly things you do.
I've always been a kid like Justin. I'm not good. I always let my parents worry about. I don't want to talk to my elders. I do things that I shouldn't. My younger brother is just like Joe. Don't worry, adults. I have never thought about whether my younger brother is also like Joe, who is actually very sensitive, but because he has a neurotic sister, he can only play the role of a normal child to make his parents less worried. Did I indirectly deprive him of the right to rebel at the stage when he should be rebellious? Or I should think about it.

A (Justin's mother): You know, I am very happy for you. real. that is. I do not know either. If it is Belgium, or Chile, or even Mars. Where I can't imagine, you are gone, gone. But New York, I can imagine how you go there. Justin is in Central Park, by the fountain; Justin is in a taxi on Fifth Avenue; Justin is in Times Square; Justin buys a hot dog from a street vendor.
J: You can come to see me.
A: Yes. You are gone.
J: Nothing.
A: You have. I know you, Justin. I watched you grow up.
J: Really.
A: (Nodding)
You go, go to a place unknown to me, I think I will really be better off. So now I really don't know where you are, how are you? The person I have missed. I watched you grow into a real man. You did not watch me walk into the grave of youth, so I have been struggling on the verge of being sober and lost. I want to see you. I need your watch to pay tribute to the legacy of my youthful soul.

J: What happened?
P (Pery, Justin's dentist): What do you mean?
J: This place (dentist's office) is a bit depressed.
P: I don't know, I... I don't act as another person anymore. I accepted and acknowledged all my shortcomings. I suggest you do the same.
remember? When you were thirteen years old, you have been imitating a reporter,
J: Me?
P: You imitated very well. If this is what you want to do, New York will be a place to realize your dreams. Make connections, move around more, get a good haircut, and practice good eloquence. Maybe it will.
J: Blinking thoughtfully.
P: But, there. You also have to face your fears.
J: I'm here to check.
P: Really? Justin, if I increase your guilt of finger sucking, I am very sorry. I have read a lot of books about medicine and psychology. There is no problem with finger sucking.
J: I disagree.
P: Really, no problem. Listen, Justin, you used to be very good,
J: And I think it's very bad.
P: This is because people hate problems. In order to solve them, people are looking for perfect solutions. But no one actually knows what they are doing. Why is it so bad? There is nothing human beings can do. Guess, try, hope, I just hope, don't think you have found the answer. Because it's all foolish. The important thing is to be able to live without an answer, I think. (Slightly smirking) I think.
This is the most touching section. Everyone has embarked on a road of no return since they had their own thinking ability. When faced with problems, they all choose to find answers, either by themselves or by others. But there has never been a standard that can judge whether the answer a person is looking for is right or wrong? Or put it this way, even if there is a standard, this standard is weak and weak. The actual problems we face every day are not simply one or the other. But people are so stupid, or we have no choice. What else can we do except guess, try and hope that Pery said? I think what I can do is always remind myself, don’t be afraid, everything is just the result of our no choice, we have the ability to bear it, because this is our instinct, and we can only do it as a socially attributed person. of. Even if there is no answer, it does not matter, because that is my own choice.
