The movie starts with a grand banquet. Many girls in uniform dresses with plump skin and wheat-colored skin crowded a couple into the auditorium. I thought it was a wedding. But it wasn't actually a wedding, it was just a bar mitzvah for a girl, a bar mitzvah for a Mexican girl. Probably among the Mexicans, the meaning of the coming-of-age ceremony is like a rebirth. On that day, the child will spend it according to his own imagination and will. It is like a watershed that divides life severely, maybe for some people Today is no different than tomorrow, and for some people grow up overnight.
Megdarina's bar mitzvah was the same as her cousin's, a wedding-like dance, riding in a Hamm limousine, and walking through the rose porch with the boy she liked, Heyman, despite her plump, beautiful growth Mature, but she is not yet fifteen years old, so this wish is extravagant but not ridiculous, little girl. She suspects that her little boyfriend is having an affair with other girls, but still rejoices at her boyfriend's sweet words; she sings hymns in church because she has a father who is proud of her and has a very high moral standard. ; She didn't like the fact that the adult dress was changed to her by her cousin, because she was looking forward to it too much, so she couldn't allow it to be incomplete. But life always seems to be incomplete. When trying on the changed dress, the family found out that she was pregnant. She said she didn't get along with boys, and his father hysterically said: How can you get pregnant if you don't do that with a man? !
What if you were Megdalena? What if I were Megdalena? hard to imagine. Megdalena just chose to leave in the anger of her father's extreme distrust, and came to her cousin's great-grandfather's house, an eighty-year-old man pushing a cart selling Samprado coffee on the street, he used to feel when he was nine years old. The meaninglessness of life chose to commit suicide, but after the attempt, he lived for N nine years and was still alive. There is also an uninvited guest in the house, in Megdalena's words, a thief, a marijuana, a gay -- his cousin, because he was a thief, a marijuana, a gay, was beaten by his father and hated by his own sister, and he was wearing a long gown. Shorts and white shoes shuttled through the street, went to the car wash, went home, didn't laugh, didn't talk, didn't get close to anyone, except the 80-year-old old man. It's a bizarre combination. A girl who is too old to have no immediate family and no fixed security, can be described as a bleak night; a girl who has not yet had a bar mitzvah but is pregnant because of non-penetration (ie her boyfriend's sperm is too strong to survive); a boy spends all day marijuana , also made a third party in a gay family who didn't actually love him. But they are still living, not necessarily sad when they are unhappy, setting off fireworks together, eating together and reminiscing about the past, if life itself is just a mechanical movement, just can't seize the time to run, it's just a process we have to go through, then why? How sad is it to add too many condiments in the process? How is the grief?
Megdarina finally got the bartender of her dreams. It wasn't that Heyman took her by the hand and walked down the porch made of white roses. She couldn't dance with a big belly, but I think her bartender seemed more practical. . Heyman shied away from responsibility for not doing it, and Megdalena deleted the call and pretended he didn't exist. Because of the loss of love and the calm death of his great-grandfather, Carlos decided to face life again. When the two held hands for Megdalena's bar mitzvah, I suddenly felt relieved. Life is not an inspirational novel at all, even if Megdalena gets the bar of her dreams, even if she smiles brightly, it's just an experience, just like she deleted Heyman's number in tears, but It is also an experience. She can cry very sadly, and cry heartily, but she is so quiet, and she disappears with the movement of her fingers. Don't say that there is no more sadness than death. Fake, who will you show it to? ! In fact, just experience, so no need to be intense.
Maybe everyone discovers the meaninglessness of life at the age of nine, but we are not willing to admit it.
