To be honest I thought the capital of California was LA before watching this movie...
In the film, the heroine who went to New York immediately changed to San Francisco after someone asked where she was from and answered that the other party in Sacramento didn't understand.
“Where are you from?”
“Sacramento.”
“Sorry?”
“San Francisco.”
Sacramento is a small city that is not famous and not very prosperous. (Population 40w)
I can understand why the heroine wants to go to New York so much. New York (population 800w) is...the city that never sleeps. Anyone can be anyone there. But in the tall buildings of Manhattan, that you are so tiny.
At the end of the film, the heroine walks through Central Park alone, hears the sound of the church, thinks of the church school she once hated the most in her hometown, the warm sunshine in California, and the mother she hates but loves.
She might not go back and might live well in New York. But she finally understood that New York may not be as beautiful as she imagined, and her hometown will never be replaced. And mother, is the one who is both warm and strict, who can make up after a second quarrel, and who doesn't say anything but loves you very much.
It's... actually a very cliche theme. The rebellious girl grew up in love, friendship and family in the year before she went to college.
But this movie has a very good viewing experience. I think it is the kind of movie that is particularly suitable for moving points and laughing points.
I remember the first joke in the theater was the go to jail that my mother said in the trailer (I thought this sentence would be ten minutes after the movie started - first introduce the bad things about lady bird or something. I didn't expect it to appear At the beginning, then lady bird took the pink plaster on her hand, played with friends at school, and got her first boyfriend. (Although...emmm later came out)
The character of the second boyfriend, Kyle, really hit me too... a band member with a melancholy temperament, reading a book away from the crowd at the party. And, it's OvO played by the curly-haired boy Xiaotiancha (although I haven't seen CMBYN and I've fallen in love with him...)
But these boyfriends are not important.
Maybe you have also been in an inexplicable relationship, and in order to be close to the boy you like and make friends with the girl you don't like, you are trying to integrate into an unfamiliar circle.
Maybe you also had a big fight with your mom and reconciled over a nice dress or a good dinner.
Maybe you also broke up with your good friend, and finally found out that each other is the most important friend.
Maybe you also gave yourself a very artistic nickname, and then asked everyone around you to call you that...
At each of these points, I can think of myself or my friends. Maybe that's the charm of this movie.
(Speaking of... my initial interest in this movie was because a few classmates used to call me Little Bird... Although I don't like the name kkk
This is a semi-autobiographical film. Saoirse Ronan experienced the director's past life in the film, and the director even gave Ronan his own previous diary. The director said: "I wrote about a person, a being that I'm not sure about, a dreamy, moody, creative, confident, vulnerable, self-destructive, romantic, pretentious girl, a girl who deliberately lives from Fell off the car and hated the girl by her birth name, Christine. Then she (Ronan) gave her life. Mrs Bird is the bond between the two of us. Ronan is what made Miss Bird what she became Miss Bird's reason."
“Lady bird is the name given to me by me.”
“What's your name?” “Christine.”
