the film is based on Daniel Cross' graphic novel of the same name, and tells the story of two twenty-year-old teens who find themselves in a strange, inexplicable gap between high school graduation and the rest of their lives. They are 20-year-old enid (Thora Birch) and rebecca (Scarlett Johansson), and maybe just like their respective roles in it, Thora Birch is the same as Scarlett Johansson who will shine in the future. The real protagonist of the film, the enid she played in it is always a lonely minority around us. They are mavericks and laugh at all mainstream characters and ideas. For the real world, they are out of tune. But forced by reality, they will also yearn to integrate into the society and communicate with most people normally; because of financial constraints, enid needs to sell their favorite things, and is forced to cater to customers at work, but even if In this way, they should also try to keep some of their own things, which have nothing to do with morality, but something that differentiates themselves from other "ghosts";
the pain of enid is the helplessness after discovering this real society; she also wants to talk to rebecca The relationship is as close as ever, like a normal girl, so she will fall madly in love with Seymeur for a while; but she still won't give up some of the things she insists on because she wants to get these; For the middle-aged fool who told others to take the initiative to adapt to this society after the success of the
film , enid is undoubtedly much cuter than them. Knowing that the cruelty of reality might make her as sleek and boring as everyone else, just like us, but still thanks to Thora Birch for bringing us this character, letting us know that the world has had similar experiences before we are not Lonely, even if nothing can be changed in the end, we can still keep the back of enid when he left in our hearts
In addition, a line in the film is also very applicable to our country now, although the film takes place in the early 1990s in the United States: when the art teacher was faced with sensitive issues that might involve racial discrimination, she worked in the art museum. People say, "issues need to be brought up for discussion, not scrutiny!"
