What memories and resonances did "Miss Bird" evoke from your growing up?

The most frequently mentioned school in the film is a half-hour drive from Sac. The heroine's mother said that there is a very good theater, and the heroine's father studied MBA there. The heroine calls it the fuxxing school, which is famous for damn AGRICULTURE! ! !

University of California, Davis

I graduated from that school, and my major is the damn AGRICULTURE in the heroine's mouth. I cried when I heard that (an exaggeration), if I had seen this movie four years earlier, I would have known the fifth-tier children in California earlier. The city of Sacramento is more boring than my hometown, the 18th-tier water town. If Davis Village is like this, my life will probably be changed because of this (laughs).

Whatever

In addition to the expensive tuition, this school is not bad. The agricultural major is the world's top 1. The rent and meals are far lower than the Bay Area. There is no other entertainment except visiting the supermarket and cooking on weekends. It is especially cost-effective and cost-effective. On the way home from the experimental field in the afternoon after moving bricks, weeds (or corn, wheat, alfalfa, you can bring in at will) clumps of wind blowing, the setting sun slants down and burning clouds, and occasionally there is the fragrance of cow dung, everything is extremely beautiful, it is a A good choice for a PhD (in agriculture).

For the past three years, I have been shopping at Dahua 99 in Sacramento almost every week. Grocery shopping and cooking are my only pastimes on Tuesdays. Davis will drive from 113 to west sacramento, you will see the sacramento river and tower bridge, everything is exactly the same as that movie, the sun is blinding, from April to July, there is not a drop of rain, the leaves on the highway Little by little, it changed from light green to dark green, and the grass on the roadside changed from green to yellow little by little. From July to November, there was still not a drop of rain, but at this time the leaves and grass on the highway had turned yellow. , so you won't see any seasonal changes these months. The dialogue that resonated with me the most in this film was when the heroine arrived in New York and told David that she was from Sacramento, and David said, where?——So I especially support the heroine's choice to go to New York resolutely.

Seriously, talk about movies

Most of the themes of youth movies cannot escape the word "secondary school". The heroine Christine is an ordinary second-year high school girl. Her father is unemployed and her family's economic conditions are not good. She doesn't like the boring small city in the fifth-tier America where she was born. She wants to go to New York to go to college, but her mother doesn't support her; she has a friend, Julie, who is short, chubby, and ordinary. She doesn't like it, she wants to be with her. cool kids make friends; she doesn't like listening to mass in catholic schools, and she doesn't want to go to a church university; she doesn't even like her own name, Christine with religious overtones, so she named herself a cool name Lady Bird.

The good thing about this movie is that it portrays mother and hometown very movingly, full of struggle, but in the end it returns to understanding. The relationship between the heroine and her mother is very tense. The mother is under a lot of work pressure. She is in a bad mood and has a strong desire for control. The daughter is not satisfied with her life due to lack of pocket money. Radio stories can make two people quarrel, which is very interesting. The two quarrels are very familiar, and they are equal to each other. Even the heroine's father said, you have the same personalities. The most moving part in the film is that the heroine's mother learned that the heroine was unhappy about going to college in New York, and she didn't want to send the child to the airport case, but then she was so sad that she drove back to the airport security check hall, but she still missed the heroine in the end. , my mother was crying, and I saw that I was crying too (really crying, not rhetorical here).

The heroine doesn't like Sacramento, saying that this place has no culture, but she can write a good article describing Sac in detail. She didn't realize her love for her hometown before she left her hometown. After arriving in New York, no one else has heard the name of her hometown. New York has no sunshine in her hometown, the river in her hometown, the bar in her hometown, Tower Bridge in her hometown, and friends and friends in her hometown. She walked into the bar alone, stopped a man, and said He called me Christine and she asked him if he believed in God?

That day, she fainted and was sent to the hospital. When she woke up the next day, she walked alone near the lush Central Park with her crying makeup on. She walked into the church around the corner and heard the mass she had spurned. .

Sacramento, the name I can't go back to is my hometown

As for me? you guess

Lady Bird quotes

  • Larry McPherson: Hey, I'm like Keith Richards. I'm just happy to be anywhere.

  • Diana Greenway: I heard that before he became a priest, he was married, and had a son named Etienne, who died at 17 of a drug overdose, which maybe was a suicide. But my mom says same difference, if you're that careless with your life.
