Do you remember what you looked like when you were a teenager? Putting idol posters on the wall, trying hard to save pocket money, thinking that I am the master of the universe, disdain for the mediocre life of my parents, I compare myself to a "little bird", and only wait for the day when "the sea is broad and the sky is responsible" I break in".
If it weren't for this "Miss Bird", many people would have forgotten how disgusting they were when they were in the middle school.
Self-righteous boys and girls are annoying, but they are also very cute. The story of "Miss Bird" is the daily life of an ordinary high school student: arguing with a long-winded and irritable mother about cleaning the room and taking the college entrance examination, but she knows how much her mother loves herself; Playing pranks, in order to be friends with the most popular person in the school; easily tempted and disillusioned quickly, saying some deep words with the person he likes, flirting with childish excitement; even if he has pointed the other person's nose and cursed, he can still get along with him. As good as ever, good friends hugging and taking photos together at the prom.
Family, friendship, love, the three are like a trickle into the river called youth, the pains, pride, and happiness of childhood are gradually staged in the life of a running account. The small town girl "Miss Bird" finally left her hometown, which was boring in her eyes, and went to the big city she longed for. In a small room, I read my mother's secret words, erased the name of my favorite boy on the wall, and no one nags in my ear after hangover and vomiting, "Miss Bird" is wearing flowery makeup Walking on the street, I was finally willing to use the name "Christine" given by my parents.
What I think is great about the film is that it uses an adult perspective to observe the life of "Miss Bird". Many youth works fail in a terrifying sense of indulgence. It is obviously Chen Guzi's rotten sesame seeds. He has to explain it clearly in 360 degrees without dead ends, and the lines in it are so off the ground that they don't seem to come from the mouths of minors, let alone Audiences who have withdrawn from that period of life, even those who are legitimately young, will feel hypocritical. "Miss Bird" gushed about how much she longed for a literate city, interjected diligently next to her favorite junior high school boy, carefully stroked her hair, and said that she would be soaring in the future. ”, the owner of the laughter in the theater thought so, but the childishness back then was so good.
The film's director and screenwriter, Greta Gerwig, once participated in the screenwriting and starred in a "Frances Ha". "In a sense, in the same vein. "Miss Bird" is her first directorial work. She has won two Golden Globe Awards for Best Musical and Comedy Film and Best Actress in a Musical and Comedy category. She also holds five Oscar nominations. The film's strong contender can be described as a blockbuster.
Compared with the gorgeous retro of "The Shape of Water", "Three Billboards" excavating human nature, "Washington Post" focusing on historical events, "Please call me by your name" fresh and moving... "Miss Bird" has a small pattern , The content is simple, but its benefits are also here: a few strokes of outline, it is already the most vivid appearance.
At the end of the film, "Miss Bird" drives a car around the town she always wanted to leave, and suddenly discovers the beauty of the city. Immediately after, her mother drives past the same scene with a satisfied smile on weekdays, and the mother and daughter finally reconcile in this scene.
When I was young, I always felt "living elsewhere", projecting myself in an illusory image, when I can clearly recognize "who I am", and cherish the current life and the people around me in every "elsewhere", maybe it is the real growth. Bar.
