Watching this movie at an age between a high school student and a high school student's parents is actually quite embarrassing. On the one hand, Miss Bird reminded me of my high school life. I had to name myself Mary Sue (my version of "Lday BIrd" is "Piaoxue Qianye"), and I had to write a book that my parents couldn't read. Diary, have to fantasize about running away from home. On the one hand, Miss Bird's parents reminded me of the me in my imagination a few years later, worrying about her daughter's teenage, worrying about her not being able to make a boyfriend, worrying about her making too many boyfriends, and worrying about her failure to pass the test. I'm worried about college, and I'm worried about whether I can afford her when she gets into college.
Lady Bird's success may be here. No dog blood, no muddling, no sensational plot. It makes you feel that life is 99 percent of the bad and 1 percent of the highlights. In the movie, the highlight moment is when you just get your driver's license and drive through the small town where you have grown up for more than ten years for the first time. On the streets of New York, you walked into the church you once hated the most, told people your real name, and the first ten years of your life have left such a deep imprint on you. Another moment was when my mother drove the car around the airport in Sacramento, crying while spinning, crying that her stubbornness made her miss the important moment of sending her daughter to college, and she even cried for love but couldn't express it; The father secretly wrote and wrote the letters that the mother wrote and wrote the night before his daughter's departure, but finally threw them into the trash can and secretly stuffed them with the daughter, which gave them, and also the audience, an opportunity to vent their feelings.
The rest of the time is spent dealing with vain girlfriends, boyfriends who pretend to be heterosexuals, boyfriends who shoot in seconds, drama directors of former football coaches, and stereotyped nuns. Everyone's youth is full of moments like this, and the movie takes a magnifying glass to reflect these details on the screen, so real that it even makes people feel a little boring. In contrast, I still prefer the literary tone of "Boyhood". I like the protagonist's mother crying before college .
Another point is that I didn't go to high school in the United States, let alone a church high school. I'm not very familiar with their lives, and I can't feel many of the laughs. Americans watching this movie should rate it higher than me. It's a pity that there is no such youth film in China, and the best one can only be a film like "Seventeen Don't Cry" that still needs the main theme as the background. But I think it's likely that I'll be able to experience these high school experiences in a few years, from my daughter's point of view. That day, one of her boy friends, Leo, came to play at the house, and he insisted on dragging him to play with another neighbor boy, Caden, saying that he wanted to introduce her to Caden. As a result, Caden looked up and asked Leo, "Is she your girlfriend?"
They are only six years old.
