Just a record of beautiful boy

After watching this movie, I will feel a touch of despair, because of the subtle resonance in the growing process. Jumping out of the arrangement and presentation method of the film itself, I simply record my feelings after watching it.

The story of the film explained the future direction under the final black screen. But after watching it, I still feel a sense of powerlessness and sadness that cannot be reversed. The older I get, the more I understand what life is like, this existing fact. In this world of human beings, those who are emotionally responsible, patient, trustful, and careful, and in a world where many complex factors are assembled, no one is the real rule and master. The establishment of fetters between people is nothing more than constant concessions, constant games, care about pay, and measure one's own gain. Even if Nic turns to his parents again, the so-called right side, his final destination still needs to be strong enough to build his own world. No one can hold his reliance on his parents from beginning to end. Only he can find a way to let him go. The things that are abundant in life fill the black hole of life and light up the rest of life. Because love, everything is limited in relative time, isn't it?

But this time, I have become more and more recognized for a concept - a way to reconcile with myself. This is also a very biased point of view in the film, to choose drugs or not, just like how you choose to treat yourself.

About Nic, this beautiful boy, truly a boy, he needs care, he wants love, but in many cases he is afraid and can't bear it, he avoids responsibility, he is sensible, but his willfulness is based on the fact that his father won't go away, He is not good at expressing his true emotions to his relatives, and he is fighting clangingly to be himself and be sensible. He has never been relieved. Drugs may be another spiritual sustenance. From start to finish, home and insecurity.

Growth is the breakthrough that accompanies a lifetime.

Very messy expression, but that's it.

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.
