All those thoughts about our adolescence

I admit that I paid attention to this movie because of the boyish yet handsome male protagonist and beautiful female protagonist, the American-style campus, and the atmosphere of the street is also very suitable for me. I always want to change the environment and mood according to the movie.
Although this movie has a low rating, I think it is really suitable for the post-90s generation who have been confused in adolescence. No reason, there are too many similarities.

The beginning of the film shows us a handsome guy who doesn't like to study, likes to draw (and he draws very well), likes to think wildly, is a bit cynical, doesn't hand in homework, but always has a very calm person who makes people laugh and cry. reason. Many similarities among our classmates who did not get good grades are highlighted, but many of the male protagonists have the advantages that make people jealous, such as appearance, painting skills, honesty and bravery. Just like idol psychology.

The fresh style of the film is filled with American-style campus literature and art.

At this stage of naivety and maturity, everyone has unique troubles and cognitions about life. But we have to return to the daily life of class and homework, but the protagonist can skip class, stay in a daze, and ignore it. Is this the American style of freedom of thought and relaxation of the shackles.

I have to say that George is indeed an immature child, and his thoughts and actions all reveal these points. What changed was the girl.

Hazy love can always make a person know and grow. But the inspirational part of the film is that George, who was hurt in love and friendship, after a few days of introspection, faced new difficulties because of a new understanding of life and the courage to change. to make an effort. (Of course, after materialization, you can also say it is the house, the pressure of life) But he did it. While working hard, he was recognized by the teacher, and the girl he liked also turned around. Came back after clearing up the misunderstanding. This relationship between men and women is not detailed, after all, everyone has seen so many literary and artistic romance films. Misunderstandings always require a suitable opportunity for calm parties to resolve.
Of course... the perfect ending is what everyone wants to see. Although this arrangement may give the film a little less depth. But, this is also equivalent to the role of healing movies. Ha ha.
I imagined that if the heroine did not come back, George would continue to struggle all the way by himself. Is this a more suitable spiritual benchmark for those who have been disappointed by love?

After all, it is a non-blockbuster campus movie. It is nothing more than capturing the hearts of young people and doing something to capture and think about it. This movie has already satisfied me very much. Although there are some details, it is not so well explained. Let him, as long as he likes it, no one has his own opinion.

This is the first time I write a movie review, it's just my personal opinion, please forgive me for the bad writing.
