heroine Poppy should be the kind of person that makes people think of bipolar. 30 years old, primary school teacher, often go to trampoline, no driver's license, live with a female partner, no boyfriend, no financial management, laughing all day long. Some people will think that she is very 2, very 250, some nerve problems, these people should be those who are too assimilated by the society, too "integrated" into the society, for example, Scott in the movie, the sparring partner who learns to drive. Others will like Poppy's life very much, or are living in this state, they are very moved by P's happiness, and appreciate her very much, for example, the social worker Tim in it, such as me.
Like what the movie said at the end, Poppy wants to bring happiness to the people around her. Maybe it has something to do with her career. Facing a bunch of elementary school students all day, it is very easy to maintain a childlike innocence. Maybe it has something to do with her character. It would be a little restrained for someone like Scott to be reluctant. However, there are times when Poppy's approach doesn't work, and in the face of Scott, her happiness, her grooming, her playfulness, are all seen as a kind of sexual temptation. I feel that the director is also expressing an idea here, Scott, who thinks he understands the rules of society, the director uses the nasty and obscene ones; and for Tim, who appreciates Poppy and has a lot of fun in life, uses The ones who are tall, "with pretty eyes" actors.
At the end, in the scene where Poppy and Scott fought, she felt that she actually knew and understood everything, but her usual performance was her rebellion against society's indifference (the bookstore at the beginning of the movie), cheating (losing the car), ignoring (P when learning to drive) looking left and right), she did not want to be assimilated by this cold society.
Maybe in the future, after going through the workplace and society, we will become more or less like Scott, cynical, not laughing, not pleasing to the eye, and disdain for people with childlike innocence or very happy people. However, I hope that in the bottom of our hearts, we will always have Poppy's happy, innocent, and curious childlike innocence, and Tim's tolerant heart who knows how to appreciate and understand life. May we all have such a heart.
Other things I want to say: The clips in the movie remind me of the Chinese documentary "Kindergarten" I watched before. There is a boy in Happy-go-lucky who often beats people. After Poppy saw him, he did not reprimand him, but reported it to the school teacher. Then he brought in the social worker Tim to help him, and first praised his achievements. , and then chatted with Boy and asked him to draw. Through these, I finally realized that the new boyfriend who was the mother of the child was very fierce and often beat him. In the "kindergarten", it is completely Chinese. The same child who is often beaten is scolded by the teacher and transferred to another class. In Chinese kindergartens, all things with personality are not allowed and wrong; it seems impossible in China to let children design and draw at will, and constantly encourage them like Poppy. Not sure, I will send my children to kindergartens in China in the future.
