Personally, I think this is a film about growth and healing. Justin couldn't give up his thumb-sucking habit until he was 17 years old. This action can give him a sense of security and satisfaction. In order to cure him, his dentist hypnotized him, subconsciously turning his thumb into a yellow lotus, and the bitter taste of the yellow lotus broke his routine and he began to become restless. His whole life started to go wrong, he couldn't concentrate in class, and he was even a little dazed. The doctor prescribed a lot of drugs to him, and the drugs became another thing that reassured him. He led his debate team to the state competition with drugs. He also gave up taking drugs because the opponent mocked him as an addict. He lost the game and retired from the debate team. In Justin, we see the confusion of adolescence in terms of academics, the doubts about family relationships, and the confusion in ignorant love. But his self-control got him an offer from New York University and confirmed that her mother was not cheating, she loved the family and her two children. In fact, parents play a very important role in a child's growth. Justin has always complained that his father did not provide him with specific solutions every time he had an accident. He also thought that his mother did not love his father. In this family not happy. But what I see is that her mom has a very deep tolerance and understanding for him, I think we sometimes really need to look at things from a different angle, like Jo said, I have to pretend to be normal in front of you, all the people are worried about you. Who has no pressure in his heart, there is no perfect person. Maybe not everything we need to find an answer to, not everything has a perfect solution. Makes us proud and proud that we can live without answers. At the end of the film, Justin sucked his thumb and had a sweet dream, and since then he has been in the beautiful process of pursuing his ideal. At any time in life we will encounter all kinds of problems, there will always be something that will bring us a sense of security, we rely on him for a period of time, I think this is not pathological, just the pillar of our heart and a sustenance. As long as we have a certain degree of self-control and isolation for this thing, I think we will all grow up well. Time is the best medicine? He will heal all the wounds and allow us to live a better life.
