Not as good as expected

I don't know why this movie has so many positive reviews. In fact, I was a little disappointed after watching it. I admit that it was not easy for this girl to have a later position, but why is she not relying on lucky fate, because her wisdom is different from ordinary people. So she can be the best. I sympathize with what happened to her but I was not moved or motivated, she was abandoned by fate and picked up by fate. What she said in front of them was just the unfair fate she met herself, but she didn't feel anything special, didn't show how much wisdom she had, and the heroine's smirk even made me a little scared. Is the definition of success just getting into a prestigious university? Could it be that her unhappy life is also a success? It is because of such biased values that we step into the trap step by step. Not everyone who is born a genius can enter Harvard. This kind of life is too legendary and virtual and should not be advertised. When I watch Forrest Gump, I will be shocked, because that kind of effort will be in line with his life. It's not as perfect as our ideal, but he can reach his limit, what he can chase is his happiness, that's enough. Reality doesn't need perfection, it needs real happiness.
