I refuse to be Asian in a group of four. Because I firmly believe that Sam and Lindsay, who don't care about other people's opinions, and such a "Mean Girls" group that likes to make fun of taunts and pranks, can't accept an Asian girl. Subconsciously, I always thought that Ally was a boy with big breasts but still had a childish innocence. He was a little concerned about the environment (although he always jokingly mentioned it to his friends, but he should have searched the Internet for documentaries at home), maybe still stuck. A girl with a brown ponytail. Therefore I refuse.
I reject Sam's simplicity. Because I firmly believe that she understands the meaning of being bullied - from the mention in the preface that elementary school classmates turned purple, to her conversation with Lindsay about the past in the early morning of the third day, all of them showed the "cruelty" of their time in life. . That was no less cruel than Carrie. But they are different from Carrie's group of vicious and mindless classmates, because they are very beautiful, but this kind of beauty must be based on some kind of "exploitation" system, which they can't resist, "bullying or being bullied" , Sam always had a deep sense of powerlessness. Until the retrospect of time made her truly understand in various senses that "it's never too late". She is contradictory, sensitive, and takes the initiative to appreciate all this, which is what makes her so emotional about Kent, and has a calm understanding of everything at the last moment of her life. Therefore I refuse.
I even rejected her phone cover (the circle pattern should definitely be replaced with a photo of the four of them), the goose-headed horns, and the places, characters, and scenes that I had subconsciously designated for a long time.
Most importantly, and most politically incorrect, I reject Kent.
"He could have shown a cute side." When I saw the figure and face of the person in Kent that appeared in the camera, I refused from the bottom of my heart. Because Kent has been my dream since the first day of junior high.
He's maverick, he's cute, he sticks to principles, he'll always remember Sam's good, he'll always accept and understand Sam's inner contradictions, he's the guy who uses the bean bag chair, The gentleman who would put the blanket over Sam's kiss and breath was "the first and the last".
I know that making Kent (and not the actor, I'm not qualified to judge) appear less handsome in the film as a strategy to add depth to the film. But, my God, he is obviously a good-looking boy with a good figure.
After all, "his eyes are the color of grass" and "the golden lines in his green eyeballs are like spokes on a wheel".
"Every time his eyes shot over me, I felt in a trance that the whole world had disappeared, and it was just the two of us, standing in the middle of a bright green field."
He, politically incorrect, had to be a good-looking person.
Otherwise, with all due respect, he can only be a backup for Sam, and he can't save Sam.
It is even more impossible to save the little girl who was rejected at the age of 12 and hid in the library to read a book alone and saw tears and snot all over her face.
It suddenly dawned on me that that book did exactly what I hoped it would do, enough to pull me out of the abyss of what I thought I was going to be, toward the heaven of being able to love and admit wrongdoing. Likewise, for those who watched the movie for the first time—among them there were probably kids my age—the little traces left on their minds, it would be the dark-haired Ally , that pure Sam, that bleak Goose Head Bay, that fat, slightly embarrassed Kent.
Movies and books are two very different mediums, and an adaptation does not mean a faithful "reproduction". Therefore, although I can't be satisfied with the movie in terms of the mood and depth of the book, the movie itself is already a great story, shooting and acting.
I sincerely hope that more people will see this movie and be able to read Oliver's original book and other books.
I would also be grateful for the redemption that such a story has brought me. I believe that movies can make more people experience more different emotions.
