the taste of growing up

This film uses Nadine's perspective to express, friendship, love, youth and growth. To be honest, after reading it, I can't tell where it is good, and there is indeed its own shadow everywhere. Those times when I was out of tune with the world.

Stubborn character, rebellious youth, always feel betrayed by the whole world, that kind of insecure performance, like a little crab protecting himself, waving crab claws to hurt everyone around him who is good to himself. Maybe everyone has experienced that stage, but think about how better you were at that time than Nadine in the film? Isn't that just youth, experiencing the so-called "betrayal", experiencing the so-called "love but not being able to", those lonely and helpless times that I have gone through. The boy in white in the dream of a thousand turns and a thousand lives exists in our minds like a god, but reality always gives us a slap in the face with a naked backhand.

People who love you are always waiting for you not far away~

    We've all had similar lush years, haven't we?

    The directorial debut is really amazing. The taste of the song selection was great, I almost missed an orgasm when I heard 1975. Adolescence is the privilege of being able to blindly judge anyone and everything. Beaver, please take more comedies in the future!

The Edge of Seventeen quotes

  • Nadine: [writing a text to a boy she has a crush on] Nick, I'm just gonna say it, I like you. I've liked you for months. I think about you every second. I don't know, maybe I even love you. You're so complicated, but simple, and I just feel this connection between us, I feel like I already know you, and I just want to be with you. I want to give you head, I want you to put your mouth on my tits, I want to feel you inside me... We can do it in the Petland stockroom. - Nadine.

    [pause]

    Nadine: Oh my god. Oh my god.

    Nadine: [to herself] You sound like a fucking psychopath. You can't send this.

    [She accidentally sends the text]

    Nadine: What? No. Shit... Oh my god. Oh my god, no way, no, no, no way, no. FUCK! Oh my god! Shit!

  • Darian: You're right about everything. I'm only here for me, and my life is fucking incredible. I love it. I love spending another night talking Mom off the ledge, I love only applying to schools nearby, because who knows what'll happen in the house if I'm not around to fix it, and I love...

    [getting choked up]

    Darian: that the one person who makes me feel like I could take a fucking breath... I can't have without completely destroying you. So, you're right. You're right, it's a blast. I win.
