Be true to yourself. . .

At first I didn't know what the film was trying to convey. . .

Seems like a failed tale of a high school student desperate for fame. . .

Later I gradually realized that this is a story about growing up. . .

Charlie, still a child, seems to take on the responsibility of caring for a fragile mother. . . At the same time, he worked as a doctor in school to answer questions for his classmates, which made him extremely popular and influential. . .

Cap's suicide, the story begins to turn. . After all, Charlie is still a child, so many things are still beyond his ability. . .

Charlie's mother eventually realizes her responsibility, and Charlie admits to Susan's father that he's just a child. The moment Susan's father jumped out of the swimming pool, he finally regained his father's sobriety. . .

Perhaps, when we truly face ourselves and recognize our position, we can be truly happy. . .
