At first I thought that the main theme of the film was school bullying, so I felt a bit cliche (often in Japanese and Korean dramas). It only became more and more exciting later, especially involving important topics such as interpersonal communication, different perspectives on problems, and victims' help.
I have nothing to say about bullying. There has never been such a case before, although I feel that such a thing is very bad, but I really can't understand it.
Think carefully about what the heroine has experienced, there is nothing that she has experienced alone. In other words, her experience was really nothing special. But in the end she chose to end her life and the others survived, and aside from the personality traits, and the fact that these things happened in too much concentration.
Didn't the study say that depression or suicide was associated with the number of major life events experienced in the previous three months. Her most recent experiences prior to suicide were changing part-time jobs, breaking up with Clay (or estrangement; her sudden, tough rejection and misunderstanding over Jeff's death), witnessing the scene of sexual assault, a car accident, being sexually assaulted herself .
If the time interval between each thing is lengthened, maybe not to the last step. A lot of things happen too haphazardly to be concentrated for someone else to possibly be overwhelmed with.
Some say the school's counselors responded indifferently. But I think, apart from the ringing of the phone and the vibration of the phone, the attitude of the consultant can be regarded as very professional. Because of his professional identity, he needs to remain objective and neutral, as this is usually a better solution to the problem. He's not a suicide intervention expert, and Hannah's answer doesn't have a strong suicidal signal. She said she wanted everything to stop and life to stop. But this does not directly point to suicide. Because it is very likely that they want to escape temporarily because of stress, and many people also have such moments. A messy life, hoping to hit the reset button or the pause button—but not always, or rarely, directed toward suicide. Does life mean life or life? The consultant also asked carefully. But the conversation ended with Hannah leaving in a hurry.
She said she was going to make one last attempt before entering the door. But is she really done? Is her attempt to seek help from a counselor, or does she hope that others will pull her back when she leaves?
The counselor gave two paths to take: one is to name the sexual offender and file charges; the other is to drop everything and move on. Both are operational, the former requires courage, the latter requires time. But Hannah at the time was not satisfied with either path. It seems that she can't face it directly, and can't accept the choice of letting go of everything. Once she had nowhere to go, she went to a dead end.
There are many interesting points in the film. Not to elaborate.
Regarding the casting of the heroine, I also think that the heroine's temperament is sunny, and she looks very lifelike. She loves life more than a waste house like me.
Also, Zach, Jeff and Clay are so cute! It's the little boy that the old aunt likes!
