Because I have a boyfriend who is 10 years younger than me, maybe I understand this film more than most people, and I can understand their feelings better.
The genius IQ allows Reggie (R) to learn everything very quickly. The average person needs 3 years to complete the mental growth. He reads a lot of books and absorbs nutrients crazily, and he completes it in 1 year. Such a child is particularly lonely, because there is no one in his peers who can understand him, treat him equally, and have the same psychological connection with him. Everyone sees him as a genius, but he is actually a kind of monster. So R hates going camping and socializing with other children, and likes to read or play the piano alone. From the bottom of the boy's heart, he hated the fact that he was a child. That's why he argued with his mother whether he was 12 or 13 years old; he was reluctant to hire a babysitter at first; and after meeting Eleanor (E), he went to the bathroom to see his muscles. Because of such a young and immature body, his actions were subject to various restrictions, trapping his transcendent thinking and mature mind. This is the same feeling as ordinary people.
But E never saw R as a child. She communicated with R on an equal footing, from the friendly handshake at the beginning, to the fact that she respected R's not going to camping, buying off the camping teacher's unconventional behavior, and then frankly telling R about her family's misfortunes. This made R get the recognition and respect he had never had before, and he felt excited that E could help to do whatever he could. It made him feel like a man, not a 12-year-old boy.
From E's point of view, from the beginning, it was simply a job of taking care of children. But slowly I found that R was much wiser, more mature, and more elegant than his failed ex-boyfriend, and he was responsible, considerate, good at taking care of people, had a high emotional intelligence, and had a lot of money. I believe that as long as R's character age is changed to 30, any girl will fall in love with such a boy. Of course, E is no exception. She is also very moved by the little things that R has done for her. However, the grade issue made her resist such feelings until R accompanied her to see her sick father. Facing the failed ex-boyfriend and the dying father, the man E is closest to at this moment is the little boy R. But it was at this time that she let R see the truest side of her birth: poverty, ignorance, confusion, quarrels, anger, despair, disease. For E, this very self-respecting girl, it is a special shame, but it cannot change the fact. That's why she decided to leave, because she felt that although she had an attachment to R, they were people from two worlds.
When R asked her why she had to leave, she was speechless. When R choked up and said that he had a lot to say to E, but couldn't, is E not the same?
(Hey, R has always been super calm, which made the last-minute separation especially touching. At that moment, R finally cried like a child.)
I really like one of the exquisite designs, E is angry Pulled R and rushed out of the house, saying that he would never come back to this house again, but he finally returned to this house. We can cross age, but not social class.
