The portrayal of the mother-daughter relationship in Miss Bird is no less profound and resonant than the relationship between men and women in previous films. This is the truest mother-daughter state I've ever seen, in any movie or show.
When I first heard about this show, I saw the strange name, lady bird, and I was in Hong Kong, and its incomparable Chinese translation - "Miss No Bird" made me intimidated by this show, thinking what America should be Slutty teen movie? Later, I accidentally watched it on the plane, but I felt it was really scary. Except for the love aspect, I was not as vigorous as the heroine experienced, but other family details were captured just right, the story of growing up a girl.
LADY BIRD is a girl who doesn't have the courage to affirm herself in her heart. It can be seen from the easiest way to change the name her parents gave her. At the same time, she also thought that her family conditions were difficult to explain, so when she met Tommy, she told him that I lived behind the 'wrong side of the track' and lied to jenna that she lived in the blue house she longed for. But even so, in front of the boys she likes, she can seize the opportunity to meet and take the initiative, which is why she can win what she likes. In fact, no matter it is a person or a university, the family does not have enough money, so she prepared early that she would go to work in the summer vacation. These are the results of her hard work. Even if some of them fail, she used to work hard for what she wants. After getting it, there are too many uncertain factors. She can't control it, so let him go, but at least she works hard. pass.
The conversation between mother and daughter in the wardrobe has been discussed a lot, and I want to talk about another scene.
When lady bird and tommy just got together, they were watching the stars on the lawn at night, lady bird said that no matter what time I came home my mother would scold me, so go home later. tommy said your mum's hard on you
BUT SHE LOVES ME A LOT.
She knows it. Although my mother is always be the bad guy, at the moment when the heroine came home the happiest after a successful date, she told her that her father was unemployed and told her to be a child of a poor family; she never supported the heroine to go to school in a big city, I hope she can stay safe and stay in a small city; the heroine was dropped out of school and two people tore her face and poured a basin of cold water on her daughter. . . . Isn't this the most typical mother-daughter relationship? I hope we will follow the steps and not suffer too much. This often erases our edges and corners and puts out the raging fire in our hearts for the distant future. But as children, we also understand that our parents are good to us, but we still have to resist. Although we know that nothing can be reversed, we believe that we must not be restricted by the so-called "for your own good" arrangement of our parents. Lady bird is a successful group, successfully breaking through the comfort zone arranged by her parents and coming to New York.
But only then did we realize that after leaving the warmth of a small town, under the mingling of dragon and fish in a big city, we knew how to miss it. In front of strangers, she never told others 'my name is lady bird' but 'Christine'; seeing the Sunday choir at the church reminded me of the school musical theatre club she had escaped so many sessions. And, of course, family. Both mother and she are people with strong personalities, so the mother wrote so many letters to her daughter but did not have the courage to give it to her. After the daughter said 'i love you' in the message, she hesitated. "You love me, but do you like me?" What lady bird wants is not only the mother's responsibility for her children's love, but the appreciation, the recognition and appreciation of the interaction between people. It was because both of them were not good at expressing their thoughts, so Lady Bird had no confidence in her heart to confirm whether her mother "approved and liked" her.
My favorite scene is the two sweeps of Sacramento near the end of the movie. One time, when sending lady bird to the airport, the car was full of reluctance, guilt, emotion, entanglement and so on. At this time, I really want to ask lady bird, at this moment, do you particularly want to keep this small town, this small town that you have expressed disgust with, but you are deeply attached to in your heart. The hostess did give me the answer, she asked her mother on the phone
"Mom, did you get emotional the first time you drive in Sacramento?
I did.
Lady bird finally got her driver's license before she left, and it was a ceremonial farewell when she hit the road for the first time in Sacramento. Saying goodbye to her teenage, despite a lot of recklessness and embarrassment, a failed first sex experience; a rift with her best friend over her friendship; cheating on her mother's feelings, and the mother doesn't seem to be talking to herself now. . But she looked out the window, drove across the Golden Bridge and watched the sunset swaying, fading behind her like a fleeting year. She let go, let go of all the immature and unruly character of a child, because now she is going to a place where she yearns, a place without memories and emotions, a place where she hopes to be kind to herself.
In the end, I hope that lady bird is still this perverse and brave bird, flying to the height she desires in her big city life.
A lady bird's warning to everyone
Just because something looks ugly doesn't mean it is morally wrong.
