Love is fragile, beautiful, and resilient

I stayed at home for two whole days on weekends. I planned to go to the shared book bar in the shopping mall after dinner to prepare for the civil service exam. I opened this movie that I downloaded before Chinese New Year while eating, it was just after 7 o'clock, but I couldn't put down my phone, I was already fascinated by the beginning of the movie or timothee, or it was just an excuse for my laziness That's it. I think I might be able to write the test questions at home after watching the movie? However, I am still writing my movie viewing experience on my mobile phone. What can I do? I hate my lazy father, but I become as lazy as him. If things go on like this, in the end, I will become like him with nothing to do and just get by. This movie reminds me of an Italian director's movie. I forgot the name. The protagonist is a psychologist who is exhausted and powerless in the face of his family problems. So I guess it's a movie that focuses on family psychology. I am heartbroken for Nic, his frailty, helplessness and despair, and his kindness and his beautiful heart for his family, make me feel deeply for him and want to give him many, many hugs, because I have been helpless for more than 20 years He struggled hysterically, but could not find an exit. It was not until I had a psychological consultation last year that I slowly walked out of the dark cave full of thorns, and I was able to breathe and think freely. I think Nic is in more pain than I am and he needs more love and help. Timothee shows Nic's fragility and beauty in the movie, it's so charming! I cried twice and I hope Nic and the people around me can talk and love each other in a life that is not so easy. Today I don't want to be a dazzling artist or a great person, I want to be an ordinary imperfect self that I love forever.

Beautiful Boy quotes

  • David Sheff: There are moments that I look at him, this kid that I raised, who I thought I knew inside and out, and I wonder who he is. He's been doing all sorts of drugs, but he's addicted to crystal meth, which seems, uh, to be the worst of all of them. And I guess I'm here because I just want to know all that I can about all of it. Know your enemies, right? So, my two big questions are, what is it doing to him, and what can I do to help him?

  • Nic Sheff: One day, I tried methamphetamine... Yeah. That felt good... and I thought, "This is what's been missing." I felt complete. Today's a good day. Yeah, I've been chasing that high ever since. No matter... how much meth... or whatever else I can find to shoot up into my body... I do, it's never enough. And I went to a couple of rehabs, I detoxed, they would talk about disease, sure, but... it never clicked. Until one day I woke up in a hospital and someone asked me, "What's your problem?" And I said, "I'm an alcoholic and an addict." And he said..."No, that's how you've been treating your problem."I know now I need to find a way to fill this big black hole in me. Anyway, so I'm fourteen months clean. I have a job at a rehab. It's fulfilling to help other people get sober. I have a sponsor, Spencer. He shows me how great my life can be sober. And, um, I still have family. My mom's been amazing. My dad's been amazing, too. I want them to be proud of me.
