Then, in high school, I spent N days and nights watching, and it was again.
But now that I'm in college, I'm starting to relive the film again. It still feels so good!
Many times, when I encounter a resonance, I can no longer forget it. Even if it's just a TV show that resonates.
Growing Pains, an excellent name. Sometimes I wonder why the distribution company didn't name it "Growing Gains" at that time. Wouldn't this be more in line with what the film wants to convey to us? Viewers can find something precious from each episode, something they're missing -- something we need to learn. As we grow, we continue to gain. But why not?
This name directly speaks the voice of every person like us who keeps groping and degenerating in the process of growing up. Every degeneration comes with pain. It is inevitable that we will struggle in the quagmire and even lose ourselves - even if it is only because of one person, one thing or one thing. In each metamorphosis, we have to work hard to tear off the original skin, which is painful. It is also painful to accept every setback. Pain, straight out of the box about how we really feel - without any embellishment.
From every character in the film, it seems that you can see their own mapping. Mike, it's actually me. Rebellious, mischievous, full of belly thinking about how to meet his demands. Whether we like to admit it or not, that's all of us. Carol, sometimes empathetic, sometimes rebellious. Ben, pure and lovely, was sullen in the first episode because his father didn't kiss bye with him. Isn't this a picture of me when I was a kid? Longing for the care of parents, longing for the love of others, in fact, now, even more so!
It is not only a TV series, but also a portrayal of life. It is precisely because of this that it can still be well received in the 21st century today.
