sense of growth

Seeing the troubles of growing up gave me some epiphany. The girl looks full of negative energy, curses the whole world, and is out of tune with everyone around her. One of the fatal reasons is that there is a cold and selfish mother, in order to control the child, let the child Obedient, cursing and suppressing children by any means. No matter how much the child resists, even at the cost of her own life, she cannot arouse a trace of compassion from her mother. In fact, her mother's bottom line is resistant to the child, and she has never really learned to love her child from the bottom of her heart. , I only think of how to control her and make her obedient, so most of the time I stand on the opposite side, I am immature, and I am helpless and fearful of my children. But in fact, this child is just more energetic and doesn't like being disciplined. It is by nature, and there is no big fault in itself. So in this environment, girls either kill herself, become depressed, and suppress part of their own nature, or go crazy to release and resist oppression. But this child looks energetic, actually it's weak. Crazy to the extreme is on the verge of collapse. It's easy to appease her, just listen to her quietly and give her a cookie. But often madness and depression coexist, becoming neurotic to outsiders. In the adult world, she madly likes those fantasies that look bright, but are actually far away from her, so they are easily injured. The most hateful thing is that when her mother also sees that her daughter is sad and needs comfort, Telling her to stay silent and motionless, thinking that everyone else's happiness is fake, isn't that telling her that the world is darkness and is not worth lingering on?

So often the end result is that mothers and daughters are very similar, both neurotic, controlling, selfish and indifferent, and lacking in love. The movie has a happy ending. It feels like a girl who has never learned how to love since she was a child is destined to be bumpy on the road of love. Maybe one rule is good, simle at who smile at you.

    80/100 is an excellent youth film, emotionally it transcends the motif of youth growth and may touch on some essential issues in our lives. Feeling special is a common feature of human beings who lack love. Only "special" can attract attention, and attention represents attention and love. The progress of Hailee Steinfeld's acting skills is obvious to all.

    Growing up is like squatting on toilet paper that cannot be torn off. Facing the death of your father and suffering from depression, and your good friend sleeping with your perfect brother, you can only use the tragedy of life as an excuse for not finishing your long homework. This is not life. The real life is not that you can fall asleep to your crush by sending a text message, but the other party will really treat you as a brain. It's not that the Asian brother who has a crush on you is absolutely infatuated with a pool villa.
