Unless you want to say something

Before leaving, Melinda took the art teacher into a small room that no one had ever visited. The teacher looked at the paintings all over the room for a long time, all kinds of trees, the teacher's eyes were moist, and I was moved. One semester was painting silently, and all the emotions that were not mentioned were in it. The same with the paintbrush, I can understand how many thoughts and emotions and inner words are in when you use painting as another outlet of the world, a channel for venting. Although it is sometimes not directly related to the content of the picture, this is the world you draw to each yourself, each inner world. The teacher smiled happily and was moved.

In the film, in Melinda, everyone should find a little bit of himself. The way he was silent, the feeling of trying to be silent how many times, without wanting to say, cut himself from the outside world.

With the development of the film, watching Melinda speak out bit by bit and do it bravely, my mood has become more and more lighthearted. In the end, instead of Melinda speaking out, it was Melinda who accepted herself. After a fierce fight with Andy, with scars on her face, I think the scar in her heart has fallen off. Things finally came to an end.

When her mother was driving on the way home, Melinda poked her head out of the window, with scratches and blood on her face. But the breeze blew, and she began to take a serious look at the world on the roadside. She already wants to understand, and she can talk to her mother and the outside world. Of course, mom said you don’t have to say anything, you know, unless you want to say something.

But this time it was Melinda who opened herself up.


(I remember walking by the Drum Tower with my classmates once. When crossing the road at the green light, a group of foreigners who were traveling on bicycles rode in front of me. One of the blonde girls screamed hello to me when they rode past me! It's really loud, they've been riding far when I realize it. But every time I think back to her shy expression and the cramped hello, I always smile. Yeah, People just have to say it boldly. Saying a hello is the beginning of a contact.

The blonde foreigner probably just learned to say hello at the previous intersection, so I unfortunately became her first experiment. But what's wrong, originally Saying and laughing are the same, they are both contagious.)

  • Mr. Freeman: Can anybody tell me what this is?

    [holds up a smashed globe]

    Ivy: A globe?

    Mr. Freeman: A globe? Gosh... what are you guys, 13, 14? You already let them beat the creativity outta you? It's okay. I used to let my daughters kick this around my studio when it was too wet too play outside and one day, Jenny put her foot right through Texas and the entire United States crumbled into the sea. I mean, you could... you could paint a wet muzzled dog chewing Alaska! The possibilities are endless. It's almost too much, but you all are important enough to give it too.

  • Mr. Freeman: In here is a piece of paper and on that piece of paper is a word. You are gonna spend the rest of the year turning that object into art.

    Ivy: Uh, Mr. Freeman? When I was little, I was really scared of clowns and I don't wanna relapse and have to go back into therapy.

    Mr. Freeman: Oh, yeah, well, fear is a great place to begin art.

    [Melinda picks a piece of paper that says "tree" and tries to put it back]

    Mr. Freeman: Hey! Whoa. You just chose your destiny. You can't change that.

    Melinda Sordino: I learned how to draw a tree in like the 2nd grade.

    Mr. Freeman: Oh, really? Um. Well, do you wanna show me? It's okay. I won't grade you.

    [he hands her the chalk and Melinda sulks up to the blackboard and very hesitantly draws a really pathetic tree]

    Mr. Freeman: That's a pretty good start. Yeah, let's see what it looks like at the end of the year.
