"Love" and "Like"

Youth films. About rebellion, about friendship, about growing up, about the generation gap, about money, about all aspects of the confusion of adolescence. Common themes are often used on fathers and sons, depicting the complex emotional bond between mother and daughter. For a while, I only thought of "Love High Heels", "The One Who Loves Me Most in the World Has Gone", and some time ago. "Love and Kiss". It is even rarer to express the bad relationship between mother and daughter in adolescence. There is a Chinese saying that "daughter is mother's little padded jacket", which is used to describe the close and caring relationship between mother and daughter. It's not like the relationship between father and son is like an enemy or a friend, and it is tense and confrontational, and even the sword is drawn. But obviously, the relationship between the mother and daughter in the movie is not harmonious. A dispute within a few minutes at the beginning brought the contradiction to the extreme: the two were in a high-speed car, and somehow they started talking without speculation. There are a lot of sentences, and the daughter even pulled the door and jumped out of the car when she disagreed, which shows the recklessness and rebellion in adolescence. Why is the mother-daughter relationship so bad? Let's first look at the family's character composition and economic conditions. A traditional family of four, with parents who are in their old age, an older brother who is much older than himself, and a high school sister who is less than eighteen years old. Dad was a taciturn, good-natured man whose introverted personality required him to take long-term medication for depression when he was under pressure. He used to be a technician in a large company. When the company closed down and laid off staff in the economic crisis, he had to find another job. My mother is a medical staff, and her work is not easy at ordinary times, and the relationship between doctors and patients does not seem to be very good. There have also been accidents in which patients stabbed nurses. The brother and girlfriend who graduated from the local university can only work as cashiers in the supermarket. This low-level job was ridiculed by her mother as "not a job". In general, the family of four lived a high-pressure and tight life, especially after the father lost his job, the financial burden increased sharply. Money is not a panacea, but it is an indispensable lubricant in life. Struggle makes daily frictions into contradictions, and gradually builds a high wall between mother and daughter. A cowardly father gave birth to a strong mother, and a woman took over the backbone of the family. She became irritable and picky, and the bitterness in her mouth had become a habit, but she was unaware of it. The teenage daughter, the vanity and the fantasies unique to the girlhood, are the pinnacle. She was embarrassed to open her mouth in front of her father, lacked approval and affirmation in front of her mother, and could not find a way to talk to her siblings due to the age difference. Longing for the distance, leaving this hometown without literary and artistic flavor, and looking for a sky where she can let herself go, has become something she can't wait for day and night. This kind of thought should be felt by everyone who has come from adolescence. When you encounter unsatisfactory people or things in your life, you have to When confronted, there is a strong visceral disgust. However, due to the lack of their own ability, when they could not fight against the status quo, they had a huge sense of escape. Going to a distant and unfamiliar place, so that she can start over, is a beautiful and ethereal dream, but the reality makes her head drizzled with a bucket of ice water. There is a lot of discussion about God in the show, and it seems to me that God and parents are at some point equal. When he is by your side, listening to their respectful teachings every day, you will feel restrained, you will even laugh at him (paint graffiti on the nun's car), hate him (don't like the name given by your parents, call yourself "Lady bird" ). And when this love finally leaves you, you need to face and roam the world alone, only to realize how much wind and rain he has shielded you from. The daughter was embarrassed after being drunk, and entered the church with a dirty face. It was the holy song and bright light that made her feel the strength and cheered her up, and only then did she get that phone call to her home. This is the pain of growing up and the time to pupate into a butterfly. The relationship between mother and daughter in the film is real and delicate. There are several scenes that are unforgettable: the chattering mother and daughter are choosing clothes. One second they are bickering over trivial matters, and the next second they are complimenting their favorite clothes in unison. (laughs, this is a woman) I believe many people have noticed this dialogue. The daughter asked her mother in front of the dressing room, "Do you like me?" The mother said, "Of course I love you." The daughter went on to say, "But do you like me?" What to express, "I hope that you can work hard to be the best you." The daughter replied a little embarrassedly, "What if this is already the best me?" The two were speechless. English seems to be very concerned about the difference between "love" (love) and "like" (like). Logically speaking, love is of course deeper than liking, but why does the daughter struggle with the fact that her mother doesn't like her. This is probably related to "love", which is sometimes an emotion that cannot be chosen. "Like" expresses personal likes and dislikes, it is free, you can also "dislike". And "love" is a responsibility and a multiple-choice question in front of children. The daughter's heartfelt message to her mother is that because I am your daughter, you love me, but you don't really like me or understand me. I am the work of your life, but what you expect is not what I am, which is why she always wanted to run away. She needs to recognize and accept who she is, a response full of interaction, a love that comes from liking rather than responsibility. bird”).

The heroine Ronan, from the little sister in "Atonement" to the wandering girl of the American dream in "Brooklyn", has become an independent general without knowing it. Between her gestures, I saw Kate Wing in her in a trance. Slater's shadow. Generally speaking, girls in the first half of their 20s play the role of Flower Girl, but it is easy to overdo it and pretend to be childish. Some of her little action designs are quite cute. For example, when she just turned 18, she went to buy a play boy magazine, with a cigarette in her mouth at the door, pretending to be sophisticated reading; hiding in the room and tearing down the college notice, and those who were not admitted would be angry. He threw it away, and when he got the waiting table, he jumped with excitement, which seemed lively and interesting; there was also the sweet and romantic first time with He Tiancha. I didn't expect him to be a big radish, and the more he wiped it, the darker he was, and he was not angry There was a roar (shut up!), which was really angry and funny. The characters' personalities are prominent and vivid. I believe that in time, Oscar's statuette will have her share.
