The film uses a flashback method, starting from the suicide of a student who did not reveal his true face at the beginning, and the time returns to the morning. In Marcus's self-report and Melody's cry,
various truths gradually appear as the protagonists' self-reports appear one by one. It kept hitting my heart, and the face of the suicidal person in my mind changed again and again.
In fact, Marcus couldn't stand his father's strong expectations, and the scenes of his parents being together that he accidentally saw when he was a child left a deep impression in his heart. Impression, sensitive and irritable, her heart gradually twisted and deformed
Melody could not get the attention of her father, no father's love
until the second half of the time when she knew that she had been abused by her biological brother Marcus since she was 13 years old, and was recently raped and became pregnant.
At this time, I recalled the opening When she called her mother, she remembered her mother's last sentence "take care of your brother, ok?" It should have been so bitter and sad when she heard it, and
she had to bear all of this by herself.
Sarah is a famous beauty in the school, and recognized by the public. The handsome guy Luke is together, but because he loves Luke too much, he has inexplicable disgust and defense against the girls next to him, especially Melody
Steven, who has known Luke since childhood, because he was born sick, no matter where he moved, he was ridiculed by his classmates. He doesn't accept others easily, he can only keep daydreaming himself
, the gay sean who has been despised and insulted by everyone, and he is the only one who can face it the most
. - He is the one who is concerned by all the girls in the school. He turns out to be gay
. Everyone has problems that they seem to be powerless to do, and everyone has factors that may lead to suicide.
However, it was not until the last few minutes that the film focused on the suicidal person. Self-reported, did not see any questions, and even showed an optimistic and cheerful Kelly.
After she asked Steven and heard him say "I'll be ok", her lips were lightly raised, half a smile.
Everyone around her seemed to be getting better, but when she saw it, the world suddenly lost its color and music
. In the end, she was alone in a claustrophobic room, crying on the ground, with scissors on her wrist for several times. This time
, under the premise of knowing the result, I sat in front of the computer and watched her struggle. After a while, she was deeply cut and
blood splattered. I couldn't tell whether she was crying or laughing
. The black and white head portrait reappeared. She was talking about her death. Some were sincere, while others felt so
hypocritical
The happy laughter is still echoing, but the fragile life has withered.
The film is based on the director's high school life experience, which stems from his attempted suicide and the suicide of a close female friend of his - she died in the afternoon 2:37
High school has been the most sensitive, complex, and purest, happiest day for
me. As I said, I think those are all seemingly powerless problems. It is really sad and helpless to make people desperate, but why? The road sign should point to death and
grief. Everyone has their own wounds, and their wounds are deep and shallow, but how desperate suicide is, I can’t
empathize Can it be done, is this normal?
I can't remember how many suicide movies I've seen, how many I've heard about suicides of people who have never been masked. It's
just that every time I hear the news of suicide, there is a sigh in my heart. I
just hope those desperate people don't have it. "No one else will understand", "No one can help me" and similar thoughts
just feel that everyone should be nice to themselves
