The short review exceeds the number of characters, and the long review is not enough to watch the movie in a messy way

The predicament that haunts us like the air, small embarrassment, death of the big society, fantasy and reality, living in the past and living in the new generation, small town and city... I like the night when the heroine and Matt slept and they talked about "the most beautiful" Time" dialogue, and then everything flows in a light comedy atmosphere, nothing needs to change, the movie has a "put it there" spirit, beautiful rhetoric in the finale of a series of outdated adolescent books, but no matter what. How, in the long and long story in the book, there is a graduation ceremony - from the perspective of individual life, some people disappear into the sea with the so-called "best", and there are better ones ahead. It seems that the heroine is immersed in her own world and does not grow up - what is growing up, in fact, maybe we can see that she really ignores the influence of real life on her, the confusing sympathy of the town people It is the convention of the world's vision. Of course, the world is not necessarily unhappy, but the heroine does not belong to this "happiness" model, so what kind of person is she? But to a certain extent, the unhappy life should also be the reason why she insisted that the time she had been with Buddy was her best time. The ending belongs to everyone, so what about young adults, those who disappear into the sea with the "best", and those who are cut off at the age of 17 are not beautiful. Finally, I hope that the girl who has been passed by the female protagonist will have the chance to live the life she wants, even if it is just a chance. Sister, when you say "that's because their situation is not important" More like a writer than the heroine, if not followed by that sentence.

  • Mavis Gary: Weren't you that hate crime guy?

    Matt Freehauf: Excuse me?

    Mavis Gary: You totally were. You're the hate crime guy! Oh my God, why didn't you just say that? Now I know who you are. Matt, the hate crime guy.

    Matt Freehauf: Yes, Mavis. When when we were seniors a bunch of jocks who thought I was gay jumped me in the woods.

    Mavis Gary: That's right!

    Matt Freehauf: And hit me on the legs and dick with a crowbar.

    Mavis Gary: With a crowbar. I totally remember that.

    Matt Freehauf: It was national news. I mean, until people found out I wasn't really gay. Then it wasn't a hate crime anymore. It was a fat guy getting his ass beat.

    Mavis Gary: Didn't you get to miss a bunch of school?

    Matt Freehauf: Yes, I got to miss about six months. It was awesome.
