What's your name? Christine.

The director also had a rebellious and irritable middle school girl period, no doubt, otherwise, how could it be so meticulous and accurate to restore a former self for the middle school girls: sharp contradictions with their parents, one second in love with sisters and the next second with swords drawn; and Good friends have tacit understanding and distance, try to be comfortable with inappropriate social circles for the boys they like; hate the small city where they were born and grew up, the unchanging life, the familiar streets that they walk through repeatedly. The biggest wish is to escape, go to a big city, meet cooler people, and live a fresh life. Because of his young age, he has firm confidence in his future life. I was particularly impressed in a few places. When I was arguing with my mother, I angrily asked, "How much did you spend on raising me? I will give you all the money in the future", and my mother replied, "I'm afraid you won't find one at all. Can afford your own job." At that moment, it was really too much like myself at a certain time, and it was the same. Anger, pride, and self-confidence can make the future life different from everyone else. Self-confidence will definitely lead the life you want. And the first time I kissed the boy I liked, I was so happy that I screamed in the middle of the road. In the last part, after my mother found out that I applied to the school on the east coast, I cried and told my mother I am so sorry I wanted more, please, please. There are also some funny dramas, such as first boyfriend gay second boyfriend second. Danny's name is crossed out, Kyle's will be rewritten, and then it's wiped off the wall paint all together as if it never existed. Christine ended up going to New York and she was happy. After leaving, she finally reconciled with herself and with her parents. Standing on the streets of New York, I recalled the sunshine in Sacramento, the excitement and joy of driving through those familiar streets for the first time, and walked into the church she once hated the most after sobering up. Those things that you once thought were unbearable, disgusted, and escaped on the way of growing up have finally become a brand, reminding you of the road you have traveled and the life you have lived. From Sacramento to New York, there is loss, tears and laughter, alas, youth is so good. In the end, she'll get used to life in New York, maybe stay here, maybe have new places she wants to go. She will find that life is bullshit, but she will accept more disappointments more calmly. The only real hope is that Christine can truly find the life she wants, no matter where she is, no matter what kind of people she is with.

Lady Bird quotes

  • Larry McPherson: Hey, I'm like Keith Richards. I'm just happy to be anywhere.

  • Diana Greenway: I heard that before he became a priest, he was married, and had a son named Etienne, who died at 17 of a drug overdose, which maybe was a suicide. But my mom says same difference, if you're that careless with your life.
