These are two self-contradictory false propositions. If I was in adolescence in the 1990s, I would be ten years older than I am now, and I hope I am sixteen years old now, which is ten years younger than now. To put it bluntly, I just miss adolescence. Adolescence is a thing that always feels that the past self is stupid, but I can't control my nostalgia, and I like the self at that time.
Rae lost control and self-harmed, so she went to a mental hospital without telling her friends. This fat, neurotic girl hated herself, hated her mother, and had never seen her father. Gluttony and self-mutilation are her outlet for her pain. This is all too familiar. Who hasn't felt the hopeless feeling of being abandoned by the world in their adolescence? Of course, it is not ruled out that most people are moaning for nothing, but subjectively, our degree of pain is the same. She writes a diary and organizes her life in this way, getting along with herself and the world, cooling her crazy thoughts in the diary, like a volcanic eruption in the deep sea. Who didn't write a satisfying diary in their adolescence? I have a diary, which I have been writing since the first year of high school, including failures in exams, ambiguous puppy love, quarrels between friends, confrontations with my parents, and my own vision for the future. Now I don't dare to read those contents carefully, just leave them there and don't touch them.
Rae should not be the heroine of youth no matter how you look at it. In real life, such a girl is invisible. If it is not transparent, it is also the background wall in the photo. Just like at the beginning, she was holding a camera. The role of recording youth for others, she is present, but no one can see her. But she later became the nucleus of a group of people. The fat girl is really a good choice for storing secrets. Friends trust her because they think she has no secrets, but in fact, her heart is almost bursting with secrets.
How good is this show? The music of the 1990s, the images full of literary and artistic accents, the young and compelling actors, and the full sense of resonance, I can write these things, but I feel far more than that. In my understanding, similar youths are not because they have done the same things, but because of the same feelings. Music, love, friends, are the blood and bones of that particular period of time, without which one cannot live. On the surface, Rui's mother does not seem to be a qualified single mother by any means. She is authoritative, neurotic, and she is very affectionate with her smuggled boyfriend. When Rui discovered that the postcards from her biological father she had received since she was six years old were actually from this unqualified mother, Rui's first reaction was anger, and in the final conversation, Rui understood that these Deception is actually the mother's clumsy care. No matter how many stinging things they say to each other, they never give up the idea of becoming a family with each other. Even the mother's boyfriend who doesn't understand the language but has a pure heart is trying to become a member of the family. a member. Everything about this family seems weird and crazy, but it is full of warmth and touching.
It has to be said that Rui, who is not likable on the surface, has won the people around him in a way that is not easy to generalize. Even during this process, she was walking on thin ice, trembling, and even covered in bruises. There are some bitch Chloe, Archie who hides her sexuality, Tix from the mental hospital, even the street gangster who has been bullying her, and of course the most important and handsome Finn, these people's life trajectories are all because of Rui's They appeared and changed, or if Rui disappeared, their lives would be changed, just like Rui's dream when he was in a coma. This is how Rui integrates into this group of people, into the world she lives in. In fact, each of us is Rui. The reason why adolescence is painful is because it is a time to prune oneself, discover oneself, and know oneself. What Ray does is actually what we all do. So she was accepted and liked by the audience, which is probably the reason.
