youth is a war

When I have the opportunity, I really want to read this original book. Although this drama has many shortcomings pointed out by other reviews, rubbing against Metoo, the heat of campus bullying, the slow pace, etc., but I still want to express my support for it with five stars. Some people may think that its theme is too fussy, but as a more sensitive and introverted person, many plots and details remind me of the small thoughts and little secrets that I hid in my heart in high school. A friend's isolation can become a kind of betrayal. A comment from someone who appreciates can make you instantly full of energy or can make you fall into the abyss all of a sudden. A word that catches the wind can reverberate in my heart for days... not to mention the film. The bullying experienced by the heroine and the people around her. How can you be calm if you have experienced any of these things, being peeped, bullied, raped, abused... How calm can you be? Sometimes even the best of you may not be immune. The heroine is just making friends, who will provoke whom when it comes to love? It's wrong to be too beautiful, and it's wrong to not fit in. When others think you're wrong, even breathing can't be tolerated. Movies simply magnify and project misfortune into a group of people. Youth is like a war. We are like trapped animals and hormonal wars, endless academic wars, and wars with our parents. We fight recklessly and just want to escape this place as soon as possible. In fact, how many of those perpetrators are survivors of this war?

This is a campus youth drama. If you evaluate it with an adult's mood and vision, it will naturally appear immature and fussy. Adolescence is undoubtedly an embarrassing age, naive, hesitant, and has to bear too much expectations from the outside world. So I have to pretend to be mature and sensible and do stupid things seriously. Western societies may be more open to sex, but openness does not mean casual. Human nature has similar weaknesses and ugliness, no matter what kind of culture wraps it up. If you really explore the thoughts in people's hearts, you may find that people's hearts are so delicate and not as peaceful as the surface.
