Live it again, it's never too late

Full marks. Starting from the car and ending in the car, the opening dialogue let us roughly guess Duncan's troubles, and the smile at the end of the film makes us have endless reveries about his future life. Poke the main points, click to the end. In a single-parent family, facing a mother who dared not resist, depression ensues, and then encounters the almost turbulent life of the new father and his daughter, which are like the light and dark sides of the moon, united and opposed, reflecting each other. Mutual sarcasm. Happiness cannot be pretended, bitter fruit and suspicion are all my own. The mother chose to be patient again and again, but the son won’t. His life has just begun, he has just gained a sense of autonomy, has just understood the true meaning of life, has just discovered the happy girl, has just exposed the evil deeds of his new dad, and has just had Like-minded friends, how did they stop just now? There are still unbroken records in the playground. The girl next door hasn't kissed me yet. You said I'm fine, but I haven't found it by myself. Wait, all this is behind me. I want to find my own way again.

Everyone should have a life mentor, maybe a friend, maybe a lover, maybe an elderly person, anyway, it’s best to have such a person who can understand your past, see your strengths, and see you s future.

The Way Way Back quotes

  • Duncan: This is the only place I'm happy.

    Owen: What's going on?

    Duncan: I hate him.

    Owen: Who?

    Duncan: Trent. My mom's boyfriend. He said I was a three. He asked me what I thought I was on, a scale from one to ten. He called me a three. Who says that to somebody?

    Owen: Someone who doesn't know you.

    Duncan: I didn't want to have to answer! I shouldn't have to answer!

    Owen: Listen to me. That's about him, man. That's all about him. It's got nothing to do with you.

    Duncan: [vehemently] Yeah? How do you know?

    Owen: 'Cause I know, okay? Don't worry about how I know. My dad was the same way. That's why I don't like patterns and rules. And that's why you can't buy into that shit. You gotta go your own way. And you, my friend, are going your own way.

  • Joan: Carry a laser down the road that I must travel!

    Kip: Why would it be 'carry a laser'?

    Joan: Because it's a song about outer space.
