growing edge

Finally found a youth film, did not break up, abort the car accident. I finally saw a movie that fits my youth. Like Nadine, we always unconsciously wait and see what other people look like before we don’t know what kind of person we want to become, hoping to find some advice and direction for life from others, but the results are often disappointing. One's own weakness and worthlessness, then depression and low self-esteem. Then, in order to hide our inferiority, we acted as if we were isolated and isolated from others. On the surface, we were proud and beautiful, but in reality we were timid and cowardly, and we never dared to contact those "successful" people. We were originally looking at other people's lives as a reference, but we accidentally put the cart before the horse in our comparisons, and then miserable because we couldn't get their lives. Youth is a beautiful process, but before it is beautiful, we all have to go through a rebellious process. A lot of things we look back on after we have gone through them, and then we can really see the right and wrong of those things. Youth is selfish, until you understand that there is no regret medicine in this world for others, and time will not turn back. What we can do is to try our best to compensate those who have been hurt by us.

    I really understand how Nadine feels

    I don't even like me. I get to very quiet and very still. And I say to myself - Everyone in the world is as miserable and empty as I am. There's just better pretending. Too cool to have any friend, maybe just nobody likes you. Best Asian Supporting Role for now.

The Edge of Seventeen quotes

  • Nadine: You know, ever since we were little, I would get this feeling like... Like I'm floating outside of my body, looking down at myself... And I hate what I see... How I'm acting, the way I sound. And I don't know how to change it. And I'm so scared... That the feeling is never gonna go away.

  • Nadine: You know what? I'm gonna go ahead, and I'm gonna tell you the real reason I'm having my lunch with you today. You see, I don't really have any friends, at the moment, and, to be completely honest with you, I'm not interested. At all. My entire generation is a bunch of mouth breathers. They literally have a seizure if you take their phone away for a second, they can't communicate without emojis, and they actually think that the world wants to know that they are "eating a taco, exclamation point, smiley face, smiley face", like we give a fuck. I... am an old soul. I like old music, and old movies, and even old people. I have nothing in common with the people out there, and they have nothing in common with me.

    Mr. Bruner: Nadine?

    Nadine: Max?

    Mr. Bruner: Maybe... nobody likes you.

    Nadine: [pause] You're a dick.
