I remembered a lot while watching this movie. Overall, the whole film has a melancholy feel to it. The male protagonist George is a bystander or an outsider with a pessimistic attitude towards life. Reminds me of my own adolescence, pretty much the same kind of person. I am detached from the mainstream group and stubbornly do what I think is right. And don't really care about the people around you. Oh, as Baidu Encyclopedia says, a misfit. But what happens in life has changed our original optimistic attitude towards life, what can we do about it? In real life no one is going to save you. So, George in the film is indeed a lucky man. He meets the heroine Sally. The love that I didn't know when I was born changed the male protagonist unknowingly little by little. In contrast, Sally was also changed by George. True feelings cannot be played. When you are emotionally moved, some things may be out of your control. The two who dared not express their love seriously were wasted for a while. During this time, George also had to deal with new changes in his family and the pressure that he might not be able to graduate. People die sooner or later, so why waste time doing homework? Yes, why. When George's mother leaned on George's shoulder sadly and told him that she was going to sell the house and get a divorce. I think George may have found the answer. Maybe it's just to keep the important people from being sad. He completed all his homework, faced his feelings honestly, expressed his love seriously, and won Sally back. While the speed at which George completes his year's homework is a bit mythical, a happy ending is always pleasing.
The film begins with George's doubts and confusion, and ends with George finding his way. People will die sooner or later, so why not face yourself honestly? GOOD LUCK, George. GOOD LUCK For Myself in 2017.
A film for people who were once misfits. PS American cities are really old.
