Youth it is a bird

If I had to guess I thought the big winner was the three billboards, but this one is my favorite, well, not to mention The Shape of Water, that's a no-brainer. The grown-up Miss Ronan hasn't changed a lot, but it's definitely not as crystal clear as Atonement. It's an indisputable fact that her acting skills are online, but the more I look at it, the more I think this chick looks like my sister. Perhaps, the girl she played was very similar to my post-90s sister, who dyed her hair and makeup in school and never listened to the teacher's teaching, thinking she wanted to be the coolest girl.

If the criterion for a good work is to describe emotions that cross racial and national boundaries, then I think Miss Bird has done it. In telling a story of ordinary youth like you and me, it will undoubtedly resonate with most people. Or when I put it on myself, and when I put it on my sister, it is very suitable. It's just that the roles of parents are sometimes reversed, and the person who meets them is different. Small towns in the United States are in a sense no different from small towns in China. When you meet a foreigner abroad, every time he talks about China, he only knows Beijing and Shanghai, and you feel resentful. But if when he said he was from America, you would remember a few cities, New York, Los Angeles, Seattle, San Francisco. Sacramento? What the hell is that?

So with such a small town girl, she can't forget to go to New York. Even if she has no talent, her grades are not mediocre, and her family background is even worse than usual. There is a brother who graduated from a famous school but did not do well, a sister-in-law who married early, a mother who always opposes him, loves and kills each other, and a father who stands by his side but has no sense of existence. In youth, it is a bird that wants to fly but can't fly high.

Therefore, her insistence is to let everyone call her Miss Bird, and even if she goes to the discount store, she has to choose a beautiful dress and wear it to the ball she wants. When she met a boy she liked, in addition to writing his name on the wall, she would also approach him, creating opportunities to be with him again and again, getting closer and ecstatic. Completely different from the American TV series, the best friend in life is a fat girl who secretly eats snacks and then loses weight together. Every time she strikes up a conversation with the handsome guy, she always loses her eyes and drags her back. Of course, I didn't see how the other party liked the teacher, and the beautiful wife who saw the teacher's pregnancy was very sad. Of course, the difference between countries is that we may just have a kiss and the sky will fall, but they don't care about going to bed, and they feel very proud of it. Of course, the generation below us has made progress, so congratulations to them. But, fortunately, scumbags know no borders, whether they are pseudo-straight men, cheating or cheating, anyway, youth is called youth, at least compared to Chinese films, American dramas have never had abortions, right?

Happiness is temporary, more youth is confusion and powerlessness, always wanting to break through that cage, feeling that this family trapped me, so I can't become a real Miss Bird. Who didn't look forward to the outside world when they were young?

One second they were chatting happily, the next second they jumped out of the car when they disagreed. That mother who is always critical of herself, her words are always so hurtful, and she will never meet her requirements, right? Is it because he made money and then threw the money in her face, he would be happier? At that time, I didn't know. Our perceptions are always different. I don't know if it's just a change of times, or that mother has completely forgotten what she looked like when she was young and has completely become a complete adult. I hope that I will never treat my daughter that way, and I am very worried that one day I will become like my mother. I'm different from those girls who are comfortable with the status quo, I want to see the wider world, I want to see the outside world, when you talk about your Paris, when I talk about my New York, I haven't been, but I know, there beautiful.

But why, when I really stood there, my tears couldn't stop flowing. It is a bird in youth, and it flies away without looking back.

It is very possible that when I was young, I didn't become what I dreamed of when I was young, and I became a dead person. It's very possible that I can't get better, and my best appearance has been left in my youth. The hometown that I thought I hated the most was vivid in my mind. From the day I left, I could never go back.

Without looking back, he went on.
