California Dreamin'

This movie made me hear this favorite song so far, and it accompanied me through the most painful and helpless two years, no one to accompany and understand, my body was full of anger and sadness, and I longed for warmth. So every time I hear this song by Bobbby Womack, I can think of the heroine's reckless and brave look, maybe a portrayal of everyone's stumbled youth.

Like the fish in the aquarium, we are full of curiosity, longing for contact and comfort. But this kind of craving sometimes makes us like moths to a flame, chasing regardless of the result, thinking that we are lucky and found a unique warmth, and finally we realize that this is just a craving, and it may take a lifetime to slowly let go.

I can't professionally comment on the acting and film techniques, but this film really resonated with me a lot, and it seemed like I watched myself go through everything for two hours. Some unspeakable growing pains are in this movie.
