I like this movie very much. It's not funny, it's not healing, and there is no special arrangement for the ups and downs of the plot, but the movie is very good and the movie is done very seriously. I, a middle-aged man who grew up in an oriental culture thousands of miles away, can also go from 17 The teenage American girl's adolescent confusion resonates" (*^*)
Youth is really a hurdle in everyone's life. It is hard to screw everything, everyone, especially oneself. That kind of feeling that I can't stand the whole world and seem to be abandoned by the whole world. When I think about it, I did it myself. I was selfish, sensitive, and extremely proud.
The translation of this movie is called Growing Edge, and the translation of the name is really good. The main part of the whole layout is about Nadine's growth, but we can see the growth process of others. The male protagonist should be regarded as his elder brother, this is a character that I can't love. He was perfect from an early age: warm, confident, and popular, and when he grew up, he was tall, good-looking, and socially adept. But in fact, he is more perfect than these appear. He didn't let his parents worry about him when he was a child. After his father died, he took on the responsibility of supporting the family when he was young. His mother, he would call him if something happened; he chose a school close to his home in order to stay by his mother and sister; in order not to hurt his sister's feelings, he and Kristin were careful not to irritate her when they fell in love .
Not long after the movie started, my brother brought my brother to the house to play. After everyone had a good time, they left. The house was in a mess. A foolish buddy urinated in their living room. He looked like a middle-class rebellious teenager. Mom is not at home, so I invite a bunch of friends and have a drinking party. But no, after the carnival, my brother started to clean up immediately. Combined with his busy work in the kitchen and the fact that he often drove his sister to school, it can be seen that he is doing the work of a male master, and he also has youth and growing troubles. , but he is different from ordinary boys, he is much precocious.
Her best friend, Christine, is also a noble person in the heroine's life, and has always been Nadine's best friend. Later, she fell in love with Nadine's brother. This plot could have been very bloody, but the director did not deliberately use this to create conflict. In fact, in order to ease Nadine's emotions, both brother and Christine are trying to appease Nadine, such as taking her to parties. When Nadine's emotions are out of control, she handles it much calmly. Off topic, there are a few scenes, she is a bit like a dragon mother, haha.
Owen, an Asian male classmate, although he went abroad a lot, he didn't have a high sense of existence. When Owen came to chat with her, Nadine was upset and didn't particularly care about him. She just told her best friend that he was cute, not the kind of boyfriend's cuteness, but the cuteness of a baby. Obviously, there was no element of love at first sight. Nadine had a crush on Nick, a white boy. She wanted to text him but didn't dare. She called herself pathetic. She called Owen and asked him to go to the playground. After Nick drove away with her friends, she was in a moody mood as usual, so she went to find Owen again, and also learned that Owen was participating in the student film festival. She was lying in bed thinking about Nick, looking at the photos of Nick's social networking site, she was not in the mood to answer Owen's call, but she turned her head and called Owen again to go to his house for a swim. In Owen's swimming pool, she can easily flirt with Owen. This is both men and women. The one who is not tempted is always the most comfortable, and the one who is tempted first is concerned about everything and every sentence.
Her teacher, the image of a middle-aged uncle, has top-notch acting skills. She is Nadine's teacher and friend, and she is also Nadine's psychological mentor at this stage of life. The two of them played against each other with more intense verbal confrontation. I was really afraid that some ambiguity between them would happen, it would be too bloody. Adolescent girls are sometimes attracted to some middle-aged men unconsciously, and feel that they have a mature charm, which is different from the acne-prone boys around them. Fortunately, there is no tension between them, the teacher's family is happy, and there is nothing else to think about.
And her mother, who is not a strong-looking woman. After my father passed away, the backbone of the family was missing. She didn't dare to mention her husband in front of her daughter. She tried to understand her daughter but always failed. She fell in love with a dentist on social networking sites, and ran to go on a date to find out that she had a family. Even her daughter Nadine knew that she was vulnerable, desperate, and "successful". The reconciliation between her and her daughter is that both of them have grown up. This is reflected in the end of the film. When she called her daughter and was rejected, when she replied to her daughter's text message, she wrote and deleted it several times before, but it was all The caring command words, and finally she seemed to figure it out, give her daughter more space, and the relationship between the two people has eased virtually.
