some thoughts

1. Is it inspiring for a girl from a slum to be admitted to Harvard University?
My answer is, no. Despite her poor material conditions and living environment since childhood, her IQ has always been at the level of a genius. A brain with an IQ of 160+ is enough to look down on the surroundings.

2. Where is the moving part of this film?
Looking at the name of the movie, it is easy to think that this story is about an inspirational girl who was admitted to the world-class Harvard University through her own hard work. If it is as simple as that, what kind of person is admitted to Harvard who does not work hard and work hard? You may say that because of her humble background, she succeeded in counterattack, how inspirational! Sorry, I have seen too many successful counterattacks, and there must be many around you.

Remember what Liz said?

"I consider myself lucky because there was never any sense of security for me, so I was forced to move forward, and I had to do it. There is no going back, and when I realized that I thought, then Well, I'm going to fight as hard as I can and see what happens. "Even if you're the worst mom in the world, even if you're a feared addict in the eyes of the world, Mom, I'm still love you so much. "
me: A large number of troubled young people are full of hatred towards society and even violent because of lack of love in their hearts. Love in their hearts is beautiful and the hope of tomorrow. It is really important to let go of hatred and remind yourself to feel love from time to time!

"Because My parents forced me to look deep and I had the privilege of seeing how all the little things came together and ended up in a product, so I never asked why this, why that, I know why, that doesn't make me Happy, it makes me feel sad a lot of times, but I always have the courage to accept, I always have the courage to accept the fact that I know I always want to leave my environment. "
me: Learn to accept the bad reality, and not complain or be affected by it, this is courage! What is the use of complaining and anger? Only by calmly seeing all this and improving your own cognition can you seek change Opportunity!

"Why should I feel poor, this is my life. I even want to thank it, it makes me have to move forward in any situation. I have no way back, I can only keep trying to move forward. Why can't I Do it?"
me: In this world, those who want to seek breakthroughs are those who have no way out. People who are content with the status quo seem to be safe, but they are actually the first to be eliminated by the times! Therefore, looking back and obsessing over the past are useless, and focusing on the future is the attitude of rational optimists!
