Sometimes, when I see groups of high school boys and girls walking around the street, whether in China or in the United States, I am sometimes very envious, and sometimes I secretly call upid teenagers in my heart.
But I also really want to be a stupid kid forever.
Whose youth is not a little painful and silly.
Oscar nominations were recently announced, "Miss Bird" won 5 nominations, actress Saoirse Ronan was nominated for the Oscar for the film, although it has just been revealed that the whole process of accompanying the run... Including this year's hit "Call Me by Your Name" also won the best adapted screenplay, the best director is "The Shape of Water" Guillermo del Toro, the best picture is also "The Shape of Water", not surprising, not unexpected.
<h2>But I've written the sweet tea of "Call Me By Your Name" before, and it's the tea we love: it's the sweet tea that my sisters, sisters, aunts, and grandmothers want to hold in their arms
</h2>
Atonement 2007
Call her Miss Ronan.
She was born in New York, USA in 1994 to Irish parents, and her name is Saoirse, which means "freedom" in Irish. Her father was Paul Ronan, who had starred in Walking with the Devil, Ace Criminals and numerous Irish films.
Miss Ronan is young and has already done a lot of powerful film references, but she has not yet shown many Irish accents. In 2007, Baz Bamigboye, the editor of The DailyMail, met her on the set of Atonement and praised Miss Ronan as the brightest and most endearing young actress she had ever met.
Cute Bones 2009
Miss Ronan's first appearance was in the Irish television series The Clinic in 2003; her first film was "I Could Never Be Your Woman"; the 2007 film "Death Defying Acts" with Catherine Zeta-Jones and Guy Pierce; and the 13-year-old Liony Tallis in "Atonement", which was impressive.
He later starred in The City of Ember, a juvenile fantasy adventure film directed by Jill Conan and produced by Tom Hanks; the waitress in Wes Anderson's The Grand Budapest Hotel; and Susie, a little girl who looks down from heaven after being killed in "The Lovely Bones." Ronan is really good at picking scripts.
Grand Budapest Hotel 2014
In her eyes lived Ronan, a young girl with stars in the sky
LADY BIRD
Miss Bird
👧🏻 Why is it called Lady Bird?
Ladybird, ladybird, fly away home,
Little ladybug, little ladybug, fly away from home
Your house is on fire,
Your house is on fire
Your children shall burn!
Your child will be burned by fire
The heroine, Kristen, is a high school girl who attends a church school in Sacramento, California. The girl didn't like it there, she thought everything was terrible in her hometown. She felt that the life in front of her was full of constraints, she was tired of the trivialities of life, she did not like the nagging of her mother, she did not like her brother's girlfriend, she did not like her own appearance, she attributed a lot of bad sources to this place, so she called herself "Lady Bird", Miss Bird's dream was to get into the university in New York and fly far away.
I've been in Northern California for three years and have never been to this so-called state capital, and it's said that it's really not funny, I used to call it Three Altars of Big Meat.
When people are teenagers, who do not desire far away.
At that time, we always felt that the world in front of us was too small, and we always felt that all the unsatisfactory life came from the closure or boredom of our hometown. I've asked a lot of people my peers why they chose that university, that city. The answer given by many people is: I want to stay away from home. We fantasize about a better place, draw a big pie, feel that only the distance in the world is beautiful, we have not really examined the beauty of life in the present, at that time it is not that we do not want to, but we do not have the ability, we do not have enough control over our own hearts.
Youth is an escape.
Fleeing is for the sake of waking up, even unconsciously.
👧🏻 Miss Bird's friendship
She relies on her friends, but she also finds them not cool enough. She made up a little lie just to make it cooler and get the shiny-looking student community at school to accept her.
She didn't think her friends were cool enough.
She felt that her house was not cool enough.
She felt that her dad wasn't cool enough.
The car wasn't cool enough. Don't let the car drive to the school gate, just tell Dad to stop and walk over by himself.
She didn't think she was cool enough. So you need to join a cooler group to package yourself. She tells others that she knows Kyle (Sweet Tea), a cool boy at school, but they don't really know each other. She tricked the girl into living in a big, luxurious house, when in fact her home was very ordinary. Even her dad was about to lose his job.
She felt ashamed and sad, she felt less beautiful than the models in the magazine, and everything in life was not what she wanted. She wants to be the center, she wants to be the object of everyone's admiration and worship. But she was just a high school student and couldn't afford to pursue those things, so she lied, and she used her clumsy acting skills to get herself into the so-called cool-looking group of the school.
She even forgot about her good friend who had been with her for a long time.
The vanity of youth, we all have. In the small group of campuses, our vision becomes limited, and there is only such a small world in front of us, which is our small universe. We look up to the cool-looking classmates and want to be them, and we want to make friends who look "great" and get the hang of the game. And when we can't ask for it, vanity forces out lies, we fall into the trap of childishness, and we have to say more lies until there is no way back and face reality. Finally understand what is really important.
👧🏻 Miss Bird's love
In adolescence, who does not long for a love affair with a handsome and cute boy. Miss Bird was no exception, her first boyfriend, her first kiss, made her feel loved, she was needed, and she felt that finally the boy had filled in some of her own life unsatisfactory.
But it all shattered the moment she bumped into the boy and kissed another boy. It turned out that those sweet words and honey words were false, and the boy just did not dare to face his true self. She resented, she was sad, but in the end she realized that they were actually the same kind of people, and they did not dare to face their true selves, and used lies to weave an illusion, as if they could deceive themselves and make life smoother.
Later, she meets the cool melancholy band boy, and a mysterious force makes her deeply attracted to him. She thought he looked cool, and his circle of friends was what she longed for.
She reignited the fire of a girl's love.
His name is Kyle, and he has everything about the boys we liked as a teenager. Somber, handsome, is a member of the band. In adolescence, we crave the kind of "different."
Miss Bird fell in love, and curiosity drove her to yearn for the first taste of the forbidden fruit. She tried, and she longed for a different first night, as if it were an Italian movie< familiar stranger> in which her father mentioned that she longed for that feeling and the mentality of showing off to her friends the next day, more than liking the person. So when she learned that Kyle was a flower boy who didn't even know how many people she had slept with, her heart was broken.
Kyle really didn't care.
We were just like Miss Bird. When I was young, I used to think that I liked someone to death, and then I was hurt, and I found that I liked them only in fantasy, and then we crossed them out and deleted them. In fact, all we like is the feeling of liking someone, the boy in the fantasy.
We want to be like all other people in our youth, with someone we like, and preferably someone who likes ourselves. We want to be different, but not too different.
That looks cool.
But it's also safe.
👧🏻 Miss Bird's growth
She went to buy cigarettes and playboys that day.
She felt that these things labeled her as an adult.
But true growth comes from knowing the truth of things and facing yourself. Where are you coming from and where you're going. And not these so-called things.
Miss Bird, after falling out of love, threw herself into her mother's arms. You must know that in the past, she and her mother quarreled every day, her mother did not let her go to School in New York, always told her that the family was not rich, please do not squander, she always did not understand, she always resisted, she never calmed down to hear clearly and see clearly. Later, she learned that her dad had struggled with depression for years, and she didn't know about it before.
It was always Mom and Dad who cared about her.
She never really cared about her parents.
Outside the fitting room.
Miss Bird asked Mom.
"I love you."
"But do you like me?"
Because she didn't like herself
Love because she is her mother. Love by default
But like, is to appreciate and hit the heart of the affirmation.
Miss Bird discovers that the cool boy and girl's circle of friends is not for her, and she returns to the sincerely fat and somewhat cute good friend, and they reconcile.
Miss Bird grew.
I tried it to know. What matters most.
Later she actually went to school in New York and tried to communicate with her mother but to no avail. The mother regretted chasing her to the airport and wanted to say goodbye to her daughter, but the person had gone far. Dad said she would come back. Dad also picked up all the letters that His mother had written to Miss Bird but had not sent them and stuffed them in his suitcase.
Miss Bird's upbringing came from leaving home and going far away.
From these letters.
chaos.
homesick.
She called Mom and Dad, and she left a message saying:
"It's me Christine.
It's the name you gave me. It's a good one."
The most important thing is not where you are, but who you are.
We may have all been Miss Bird, tired of our hometown, wanting to get rid of the shackles of our families, and we were eager to fly. Always looking up, and forgetting to observe the beauty of life in the present, we feel that our parents discipline, but they are inseparable from their spiritual and financial support. We talk about love, but we don't love.
We used to wrap ourselves in music/movies/books, friends we interacted with, and we used to wrap our tastes with the sentence "I like". When we are young, we are afraid that our mediocrity is not conspicuous, so we choose to deviate from the scriptures or fly far away.
We can't see life clearly, so we say it's not good.
After every loss of love, I will think of the embrace of my parents. After experiencing crying and weeping, experiencing the pull and sweetness in emotion, looking back at the past, there will be reflection. We put a pretense on our parents when we are in love, leaving time for love and escaping from their parents' sight. Every time I lost love and was in pain, I remembered to return to my parents' arms and seek warmth and comfort.
How many more Miss Bird played in various parts of the world, dressed in beautiful clothes and carrying expensive bags, eating Michelin and sending circles of friends, and Mom and Dad had never even seen these things.
She wanted to be anyone, but she didn't want to be herself.
But it wasn't too late to wake up. Those hometown marks, friends who don't look so cool, nagging moms, dads who beat up their spirits in the downturn, brothers' rebellious girlfriends, not so cool cities, have actually made her different. These things lost their beauty in her eyes because they were too close, but they would finally become beautiful when the distance was pulled away.
The so-called growth, but so. After building our own thought universe, it is constantly subverted, we are painful and sad, we lose and gain, and finally we leave and come back, look at the world from another perspective, only to find that life is not so bad. A cup of tribute to the past, a cup to the future. There can be many good and beautiful people in this world, but you only have one. This is the most unique uniqueness, and uniqueness makes a sense of superiority.
Growing up is not about making you sophisticated and moldy and boring, but about learning to see the world from another perspective.
There are a lot of cool people who look cool.
And really cool, is to be yourself.
Miss Bird painted her walls as she left the house, as if to say goodbye to her ignorant maidenhood ritual.
The film may not be that profound.
But how much you can see yourself.
