I believe that every school has a girl like Margo. There are also many boys who like this Margot like Quentin.
This type of girl is more like a rainbow, allowing everyone to discover that girls also have different colors. It is also reasonable to rush.
At the beginning of the film, little Margot invited little Quentin to take the first adventure, and when Quentin refused, the foreshadowing of the ending of the two had already been buried. People who are destined to have two completely different life pursuits will eventually be like two parallel lines that cannot intersect.
Looking around us, it is not difficult to find that girls like Margo have a stronger ego, they pay more attention to their own hearts, and have stronger requirements for their spiritual world. Such a person can easily let others follow her rhythm. When people enter her world, they will find that she is the emperor in her spiritual world.
Unfortunately, a boy like Quentin is a child who accidentally walked into Margot's spiritual world, where he got his first skipping class, first road trip, first party....etc. So when the two were at the restaurant after finally finding Margo, Quentin said there was no need to apologize. These experiences also marked a successful conclusion to his high school life.
Anyone can have a rebellious heart when they are young, but rebelliousness and pursuit of life are two different things. Quentin's little rebellion did not prevent him from pursuing a successful lifestyle of getting married and having children at the age of 30. And Margot is not rebellious, she pursues a way of life, not short-term behavior brought about by rebellion.
After her boyfriend cheated, Margot fell into a turning point of confusion in her life, and this was the only chance to meet Quentin's life. It was precisely this intersection that brought Quentin's secret love for many years to the front. Quentin tried her best to walk into Margot's world, moved herself, and moved her friends around her, but she found a difference in concept, which led to a story where she wanted apples, but you gave her a cart of bananas.
Quentin finally understood that she was not her in his impression, she was just an ordinary girl, a girl with her own world. And he couldn't give her what she wanted. So when Margot asked Quentin if there was a reason to stay. Quentin boarded the bus back without hesitation.
And the keyword paperweight is just a confused question about the world by a girl living in her own world, and she passed this confusion to Quentin who was trying to enter her world. For the unexpected intersection of the two, it is just a key word to sum up.
Quentin boarded the car and left, and it was considered to have completely walked out of Margot's world. Maybe she brought him novelty and he moved her, but this is only the scenery in the intersection of two parallel lines. It is short and beautiful. No one knows in their hearts that this is not eternal.
There used to be a Margo in my world. When I followed her rhythm closely and tried to look into the distance with her shoulder to shoulder, I found that I was tired and incomprehensible.
Years later I look back and it's just a chase that doesn't belong to you. Barely stretching the intersection of two parallel lines, both are exhausting. It is better to let the two parallel lines separate cleanly at the beginning. This is a kind of fragrance that is still unfinished but can no longer be smelled. It is more greasy and less faint. Just right.
