In the movie, Diane, the older sister of the male protagonist Frank, was a math genius, but she was not happy in her life. Driven by her mother's "great discoveries for human progress", Dinae never went to high school, let alone a prom (anyone familiar with American culture knows how big a prom is); never went to see a prom. Even if Dad has a season ticket; has never been in the Boy Scouts; doesn't need to go swimming outside because he has one at home. Moreover, the mother felt that all this was reasonable, that her daughter did not like those things, that her daughter did not understand love, even if her daughter Diane eloped with a neighbor when she was 17 years old, the mother did not feel that she had done anything wrong. He even confidently said that his daughter thanked her for her intervention a year later.
