What to cherish and what to underestimate

The name of the movie is "Diary of a Wimpy Kid", and the protagonists are also a group of kids in junior high school, but I still think of myself after watching it. Nothing good happened to Gray in this movie. He always wanted to be a star in the class yearbook, but things didn't always go as expected.
He was bullied by a rude girl, and he couldn't beat her in wrestling class; he felt that he was good at drawing comics, but in the end the award was for his good friend Rowley's work, and he kept telling the "My God" The comic series is very contemptuous; he hurts his arm while playing with Raleigh, which makes his classmates care about Raleigh, so he is very upset; he joins the school security patrol, but sends a group of people a day There was a problem when the child came home. In order to avoid punishment, he put the blame on Raleigh, which caused the friendship between the two to break up; There is a background, so he played the protagonist, and Gray had to play the tree. After all these encounters, although he finally sacrificed his life to help Raleigh and restored the friendship between the two, the other situation has not changed, he has not achieved his goal, he is still very ordinary, and even a little unpopular (about the not mentioned above). The Millennium Cheese episode), and the whole episode ends here.
This kind of funny children's movie, the ending is not happy, but so bland, and mixed with some disappointment of the audience (me), it really puzzles me. But does everything really have a happy ending? The naive me really thought so before, or rather, always hoped so.
Before university, I have been studying, and the goal and ideal is to study well. Fortunately, although the road is tortuous, the goal is always achieved smoothly, and I have experienced too few failures. But after college, not only are they not as good as many others in terms of learning, but they are also far from others in terms of social work, network resources, and so on. Frustration in all kinds of things and the pressure of comparison keep bothering me. One day, I was thinking about the ending of this movie again, so I thought that maybe this unsatisfactory ending might be more realistic and more fulfilling in another sense. There are failures and unsatisfactory things in our life, but after these things, we have to reflect, not everything has to be the first, but to gain our own benefits. Don't be infinitely low and resentful because of the failure of one thing; don't change your mood easily because of the attitude of others towards you, you must first understand yourself and judge whether it is worth doing so. To cherish what should be cherished, look down on those that are superficial. Just like Gray, Raleigh is his true friend. This kind of friendship cannot be lost. If you make a mistake, you have to make up for it. If you get this friendship, you will be very happy; and the outside world's opinion, the so-called popularity ranking, also There is that savage girl, all floating clouds, all floating clouds. So at the end, after Gray was humiliated by that savage girl again, he just looked at Raleigh and smiled, and my mood changed from the initial confusion and resentment to indifference.
Knowing what to cherish, knowing what to underestimate, less impulsiveness and inexplicable hatred in your heart, and more gratitude to experience life, this may be an afterthought. This may be very different from the meaning of the play itself, but this movie reflects in my heart, and that is what it presents.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid quotes

  • Greg Heffley: [smugly] You're way too smart for me Patty Ferrell...

  • Greg Heffley: We'll hide here for the rest of class because I'm not playing that game! It's not fair. He's got all the neanderthals on the same team. It's barbaric!

    Angie Steadman: It's completely barbaric. This place is an intellectual wasteland. But it's nice to meet a person more interested in his mind than his body.

    Rowley Jefferson: You girls get to jump rope. What are you doing hiding?

    Angie Steadman: Avoiding the pain. It all starts in middle school, you know? You're not a kid anymore. The coddling has stopped. Kids are now separated by intelligence. The weak are picked on and girls that you've known since kindergarten won't even talk to you anymore.

    Greg Heffley: Well, it sounds like you've got it all figured out so go back to your book.

    [laughs]

    Angie Steadman: This place is a glorified holding pen. It's where adults put you as you make that awkward transition between child and teenager so they don't even have to look at you.

    [pauses]

    Angie Steadman: Hi. I'm Angie.

    Greg Heffley: [Pulls Rowley's hand away] Great Story! We're going to go now.

    Rowley Jefferson: Why? This is a good spot.

    Angie Steadman: It's a perfect spot. I survived all of the sixth grade here and I would enjoy some like-minded company to get me through the seventh.

    Greg Heffley: Is that the whistle? I think I hear the whistle.

    [laughs]

    Greg Heffley: We need to go!
