After watching the movie "Growing Edge", I saw someone in the hot comment said that the whole drama is the heroine losing her temper alone, and I feel that there is nothing to watch, and then I want to say that probably all the people who have no feelings for this film People, because they haven't had a similar experience with the heroine, they can't understand it. Of course there are comparisons among the children of a family, and this comparison is especially evident in a family of two children. There will always be one child's halo over the other at something, one shining, the other dull, The two children are constantly developing themselves in competition for their parents' attention. The heroine Nadine has lived under the light of her brother since she was a child, and believes that her brother is the "perfect" child in her parents' hearts. There is a scene in the film where the parents send their two children to school. When the school arrives, the older brother gets off the bus, but the younger sister is unwilling to get off the bus. The mother uses her best efforts to get her off the bus. Because she was upset to see her parents like her brother so much? She is using this method to attract the attention of her parents, so that they can see her bleak compared to her brother, who is shining under the halo. How bad I am, how much I want you to see me. Including many of Nadine's actions later, they are all expressing to the outside world that I want you to see me in a bad way. Because there is no sense of existence, I have been looking for a sense of existence. Because of her childhood experiences, it was impossible for Nadine to give up comparison forever. Her best friend and her brother came together. Her first reaction was that you had to make a choice. He never thought that her best friend could do it too. It's her brother's girlfriend, because it represents the competition between him and her brother, and she is still comparing who is more important to her friends. Nadine doesn't like the way she speaks, she doesn't like almost everything about her, which is the most obvious characteristic of a person with low self-esteem, because it also predestines many of her behavior patterns, and she also says that she always looks It's always strange to be different from others. She realized this early on herself, and maybe she didn't realize that it was all because of her hatred of herself. The most typical one is that when she was close to a boy, she pushed the other person away several times, making the other person feel inexplicable. In fact, it was not someone else she pushed away, but the self he didn't like. Perhaps it is very similar to Will in "Good Will Hunting", because he is afraid that the other party will find the real broken self, hesitating or rejecting others before the other party rejects him. In fact, everyone is eager to be connected, to be accepted by the group, and to make more friends, but this becomes the biggest difficulty for people with low self-esteem, because they are always afraid of being rejected, even if they force themselves to start , also Because of the disgust in the heart, there is no way to show calm confidence and attractiveness, and finally frustrated in the relationship again. Nadine grew up with only one friend, and there's a line in it - because her life isn't perfect, that's why they're attracted to each other. Nadine went to the party with her friends and brother, and her friends were dragged to play games, and she felt left out. She didn't know how to fit in in such a lively crowd. She told herself not to be so embarrassed, but in the end she couldn't do it. She tried to start a conversation with a girl who was alone in the corner, but she was overwhelmed by her words. hurt again. Of course, maybe the girl sitting outside alone is facing the same problem as her~ In the end Nadine felt really unbearable and asked her mother to pick her up, yes, she was running away from such a scene, I hope someone sees me , but I can't do it, I'm going to be heartbroken, I can only run away. Nadine said she always wanted to change herself, but didn't know how. Going to her teacher to tell her experience may be an opportunity she gave herself. Before coming out of the sadness of his father's death, his best friend betrayed him and came together with his elder brother who had always hated him. There is no other friend... After this series of clicks, when she couldn't find any support, she was so fortunate that she could meet a teacher who could listen to her complaints quietly. Ultimately, it was her classmate Erwin who approached her life and brought new light to her chaotic life. As psychologists say, all trauma needs healing in a relationship. Do.
