I watched the night off and on yesterday afternoon, because there was a class and a painful campus network interspersed in between, so some episodes may not be so detailed.
Many people say that Liz's acting is too cold, but he is actually firm.
Liz's life is obviously a mess, and the despair and pain we faced as children is clearly multiplied in her life. Or maybe you who watched this film didn't have a similar childhood experience, but I want to tell you that obviously Liz's performance is more real, when suffering comes in turns, you don't have to make an exaggerated expression, or you don't have time at all Go to the pain, because she is my baby. Both parents are addicts. Several times when she chose to be selfish for granted and abandoned Liz, a little girl, she must not know how to face it at first, but gradually she faced more and more, so there was no need for it. It's exaggerated to have a performance. Is it more appropriate to have a numb, expressionless, firm look? Despite the constant emergence of new dilemmas, Liz chose to be strong, she did not compromise like her sister, and did not give up her power to insist on completing the exam paper in the final exam despite the contempt of teachers and classmates. In other words, she has a belief: not to give up on herself.
When she encountered the same peers persuaded her not to dream, when she was abandoned one after another, when she lost her mother and was homeless and went to school to make an effort to talk to her teachers.
Seemingly confused, but it was decided that no changes were made, which may be an important reason for the success of Liz.
All your unsatisfactory life is self-inflicted.
This sentence is not extreme, not heartless, but I gradually realized it after college. In the future, you don't have to complain that life is not good. If it is not good, you can change it. Everything is up to you.
I think maybe this truth is the core idea of this movie.
If Liz hadn't changed, maybe she would be the same as the little girl who scalded herself with cigarettes, feeling that she didn't belong to this city, and she was lost and confused to the end.
In fact, this is really the case. Success and change are not necessarily difficult, but they all require a lot of hard work and persistence. Sometimes you are fully prepared, and it will come naturally. The other day, I read a post about my struggle to learn English, and I believe that he is not as intelligent as Liz. But he worked very hard. Maybe he didn't know it. Although there were some small episodes in the exam that day, he still passed the exam. The only reason was that he was too well prepared. I watched his Fa study and felt that In those batches of exams, he never learned as much as he did. So to me, an outsider, he was admitted as a matter of course. But this great man may be like Liz said when he is going through it, I don't know the result when I do it, but I have no choice but to do my best and see if it can bring me a change. I have no way out.
So you didn't succeed because you didn't try hard enough.
There is a chick who is very good to me, and she is quite good, but after a long time with her partner, the other side gradually doesn't care about her, and she does things one after another that the girls in the bedroom say they can't understand, and we start to persuade them to cooperate. Later, they were so angry that they persuaded them directly. But she still couldn't let it go. The next thing was to quarrel every time in the dormitory, and then cry. I see that she lives very unhappy every day. I just think that this is all self-inflicted, no one can't be separated from others, if you don't be cruel to yourself, then continue to be unhappy.
Be strong and change.
Looking at the previous comments someone said that Liz' situation was so desperate and even suicidal. Yes, but she survived, and later lived a good life because of her strength, no longer displaced, no longer worried about apartment rents, and all on her own.
I read a post a while ago, lz suffered a burglary and a strong JIAN, but she is doing fine now.
Because when she encounters a criminal, what she thinks in her heart is as long as she doesn't die. So she outsmarted her own life even when she was extremely nervous. The premise is that the criminal who committed the crime before her also frequently murdered. Obviously not good. You may say that the landlord is so afraid of death that she must not care about rape. Yes, in the post, she is just constantly passing on positive energy to us and telling us to be optimistic and strong. But she made the post two years after the incident. It can be seen that what she took two years to calm down and accept must be something she cares about and is very shadowy. Sometimes there are so many complaints, think about your dreams, bow your head and work hard, okay? Nothing is impossible, be strong. You too have the same tomorrow as Liz.
At least this film gave me inspiration and strength, and it was a successful inspirational film for me!
