This film takes anorexia as the background, and uses love and growth throughout the film. Although they cannot experience the pain of anorexia patients, they overcome their inner fears, and a little change and growth can bring shock and shock to our hearts. Moving.
In fact, everyone has a knot in their heart. Maybe it was influenced by their original family when they were children. The lack of care resulted in a lack of heart. They always felt that they were not good enough or did a lot of things wrong, which caused some bad things to happen. , so it is always said that sorry always thinks about sacrificing himself for others, forbearing his true feelings to face the people around him. Due to the inner injury caused by the family of origin, I gradually become sensitive, fearful and isolated. I dare not open my heart to accept beautiful things, and look at the world around me with a pessimistic attitude that is not worthy of being loved.
With self-introspection, in fact, we all know why we are like this, and we also know how to change and solve problems, but we always feel that we cannot control the development of the situation. On the surface, we feel that we do not know what to do, but in fact, the problem has not developed. At the bottom, when Ellen's mother talked to her, her mother said that she had accepted Ellen's choice of death, if death was the result Ellen really wanted, this sentence deeply awakened Ellen and inspired her to live. In fact, because of her mother's lack of love when she was a child, she felt that her mother's departure was due to her reasons, and because of her mother's departure and her father's long-term absence, she felt that she was not worthy of being loved, and she felt fear in her heart. Accepting the love of others is why she is so sensitive and closed in intimacy. Growing up, we are faced with all kinds of inner problems, and all of these have been bred in our hearts since childhood. Now we are to face and solve these problems, maybe this is the meaning of life.
Everything in life needs to be faced and chosen alone. It is impossible to seek solutions from others. Listen to your inner voice, follow and choose, and take a new step with courage, and we will all reap extraordinary benefits. a good life. May everyone have the courage and right to choose, as well as the responsibility and perseverance after making a choice.

    Girls who suffer from eating disorders are mostly girls. Why? The world is too cruel to girls. He is fat, with thick legs and thick waist, black, and masculine personality. Anything that can be dismissed by others. I have had experience similar to that of a female protagonist, dieting, chewing, vomiting, taking exercise, and having an empty stomach can give me a sense of security. The tearful scene is that my mother cries when she sees her daughter is too thin, just like my mother saw me at the time.

    I just had my wisdom teeth removed and I took painkillers, which made me feel like vomiting while watching the film. Speaking of the movie, I actually think the central idea is not how terrible anorexia is, but the courage to survive in the face of imminent death.
