When I was in college, I really liked the song "My girl". One weekend I went home and turned to the movie channel and watched a movie called My girl. Unfortunately, it came to an end. Wake up, that late night recalls super sweet.
About the cast:
Vada's good looks held up half the movie, absolutely. I searched for her current appearance, and she is also very beautiful, especially when she smiles. And Jamie Lee Curtis has always belonged to the type of unsightly and transgender person in my mind, but in this film, her femininity is brought into full play, not only to hook up with Vada's father, but even I feel her kindness People and gestures are charming. Macaulay's little friend is actually a soy sauce in the film, probably because the heroine's halo is too bright to really notice him. But he did cause the most tears in the audience. Vada's teacher is also an adult who is loved by children. I can't imagine how the uncle's normal behavior should be after being confessed by a little loli. After thinking about it, it's still the kind of eagle-eyed uncle in "12 Years Old". ,cool.
About growing up:
I have read a lot of novels about growing up from childhood to adolescence, mostly in Children's Literature and Giants and some foreign children's books. In fact, all books about children and teenagers are growth themes (most of them). The hurdle in each story is either a fierce struggle, growing up in the struggle, or a slow pain and a reborn state of mind. Face the future. I like each of them, and I fantasize that I can also bravely pass the level and fight monsters in the future. And most of the hurdles, in the story, appear in "that summer". (As if most of my memorable novels were read during summer vacation, as if I too lived through "that summer"). It was also that summer in "My Girl", where Vada experienced a crush on his teacher, the first period of puberty, his father's new love, and the most painful loss. The little girl is actually lucky to have people around her who were arranged by God to help her through the difficult times, including her good friend, a kind teacher, and Shirley who helped her understand the problems of adolescent girls although she stole some of her father's love. She is actually too Lucky, it reminds me of the children in "Walk With Me", who rely on themselves to fight with themselves, and grow up while learning while taking risks.
About Two Little No Guess:
I don't know if every girl grows up with a little boyfriend who is two Little No Guess. When I was 11 years old, I played with a little boy with glasses all day long, because I was more "powerful" so basically he listened to me. After school, he went to his grandmother's house to do homework together. During the summer vacation, he spent almost all the time together, watching movies, visiting bookstores, buying comics, sometimes going for a morning run together in the morning, sitting on the railing at night to watch the stars, and quarreling for various reasons, even working together. When I was writing a novel, I had a lot of disagreements, but in the end I always reconciled within half an hour. But unlike the movie, he likes other girls. Although I like other boys, I am jealous that he likes other girls, just like a little girl is jealous of her father falling in love with another woman. I think this friendship is very precious to me, it is my best memory, there is no one.
About loss:
In the film, Shirley mentioned to Vada's father that Vada has a problem with death. It is more about loss than death. Including the mother's love that was never received, the possibility of losing the love and attention of the father, the love of losing the writing class teacher, the crisis of losing the girl's friend, and the real loss of the best friend. Even adults may not be able to handle their emotions well in the face of all this, and the girl's positive attitude and courage make me quite admire. For example, she tried to break up her father and Shirley with small actions, or to steal money to attend his class in order to get close to the writing teacher. She hid her remorse for the death of her mother in her heart, and faced up to her anger and longing for the death of her good friend. At least I think It wouldn't be so smooth if it were me.
I love 80's and 90's movies so much. Many of their narratives are slow, warm and lively, which is too different from the current (some) movies that are pretentiously sharp or eye-catching by flashbacks, and have a faint smell of banknotes. Or maybe I just have an unrealistic fondness for a bygone era. But the films of that era really moved me at the time or now.
My good old days...
