As the title says, I don't think this movie is very inspiring, but I still gave it four stars.
The heroine is a genius. She is the kind of student who can get good grades by studying hard. She can get 100% on the exam even if she doesn't come to class by reading the Encyclopedia. She can finish four years of high school in two years and get the The first place, so she was not very inspirational to be admitted to the prestigious school of Harvard.
However, the female protagonist grew up in a very bad environment. Born in a slum in the United States, she has suffered from family problems since she was a child. Her parents were addicted to alcohol and drugs, and her mother suffered from schizophrenia. In the corner of the city, the suffering of life seems to be endless. The people around are discussing whether it is drugs or sex or something else, so it is not easy for the heroine to grow up normally. It is rare that this little tree does not grow crooked. People who didn't go insane or turn into psychopaths in an asylum (or an orphanage, can't remember exactly) were also tough and lucky.
As the introduction says, "As she grows up, Liz knows that only by studying can she change her destiny and get out of the quagmire... She did everything she could to apply for a full scholarship to Harvard, and even a decent dress was not enough for the interview. No. However, poverty did not stop Liz's determination to move forward. In her life, the struggle that never retreats is the eternal theme", so shouldn't this movie put more content on how to work hard, but The performance of this aspect is not enough, and it seems too easy for the female lead to be admitted to Harvard, so this is the reason why I didn't want to give four stars at the beginning.
The friendship between the heroine and Chris developed so quickly, and the two suddenly started to grab mud and threw them at each other and became good friends, which was unexpected.
At the beginning, the heroine's sister and mother robbed her of money to prevent her from buying drugs. Later, the heroine chased out with her father, but her father and mother left together, which made me a little confused.
The heroine lay on the coffin as if lying beside her mother, feeling that the child was strong but pitiful. The heroine's eyes and hair are beautiful.
The heroine's father is actually a genius, but unfortunately he took drugs. He felt quite uncomfortable when he said "don't love me, waste your energy", maybe he could have been a good father.
