After watching "13 Reasons", I have always wanted to write something for this show.
Hannah, the "shadow character" in the play, has passed away, but she will appear in every episode. As long as there is Hannah in the scene, the picture will become warm and bright.
In the play, Hannah has an ambiguous relationship with some male characters, Justin, Marcus, Clay...Don't be too busy criticizing her. In my opinion, this is just a "struggling drowning man story".
——Hannah is drowning.
Her life is a mess, there are few people left who can be called friends, and her life gets worse every day compared to the day before.
She was about to suffocate, but she hoped that someone around could help her.
At the beginning, they were there, but those people were like "porcupines" in EVA.
"The porcupines were close to each other to keep warm, but the thorns on their bodies hurt each other."
The closer you get, the deeper the damage you receive. Hannah was hurt by people around her time and time again, but she was still struggling, hoping that someone could keep herself.
But Bryce severely destroyed her will to survive and crushed Hannah.
And the psychological teacher's non-retention also pushed Hannah to the brink of death.
Hannah went to death step by step, but who could hear her cry for help?
I remembered a very similar game-"Life is Strange".
There is a girl named Kate in the game, experiencing something similar to Hannah.
One day, she sent a text message, hoping to talk to the player-controlled character Max, but I ignored the call.
Of course, you also guessed what will happen next, Kate stood on the edge of the roof, questioning the player.
And I am extremely regretful, why can't I find out earlier. Although to you, this is just a game and a bunch of data, to me, they are so real.
Kate finally chose to jump down. Although I later learned that there was a surviving ending, I still didn't want to experience it again.
In the eyes of people who have entered society or who think they are mature, "campus bullying" is simply not a matter.
They would say, isn’t it just being bullied? Forbearance is good.
Or in other words, why did they bully you? Why not someone else? Did you find the reason from yourself?
In other words, is it worth making such a fuss?
But for the group of children in the play, that high school is their world.
They are not as open-minded as you think.
They really care.
They really want to die from heartache.
In the short review of this play, many people said something similar to what I wrote above.
(What shocked me even more is that one of the bean friends I followed also wrote a similar short comment, and I immediately blocked it)
They are like people standing on the shore, mocking and taunting someone who can't swim and is about to drown:
"Is it worth it? Just yell at something big? Swim over by yourself. We don't want to save you, so we just stand here and look at you with a smile."
In the final episode of the season, Clay has a sentence that I will remember for a long time:
It has to get better.
The way we treat each other and...look out for each other.
It has to get better some how.
Hope you can "get better" too.
Say "I am here" to those drowning children. Even a look or action may be the reason for them to live, not the reason for them to leave the world.
It has to get better some how.
