      Remember the mental journey of a morbid female literary youth

      From a single-parent family, with a childhood shadow, an irresponsible father and a controlling mother. She was always a good girl before college, and after college she longed for a debauched life. She is sensitive and slender, loves literature and art, and can write poems, novels, essays, reviews and essays. A loli face, small body, at least C cup by visual inspection. I love rock and literature, I have talked to a good-looking boyfriend, I have fucked, I have taken drugs, I have gone crazy, I...

      Reality is warmer than reverie

      I don't know why it translates to such a misleading name as "the first experience of a girl", but it's a good movie about a girl who suffers from depression. And, it's a true story.

      She lacked fatherly love since she was a child, and gained excessive maternal love, unable to find the balance between request and rejection. I kept writing, went to Harvard on a journalism scholarship, and got the freedom of my dreams: smoking, drinking, and taking drugs. . . If she is a genius, she is...

      "This is the puberty of the girl's miserable green and red."

      When I watched "Chrysanthemum and the Knife" before, the most beautiful moment for a young man was the moment when he stepped from a teenager to an adult man, just like a cherry blossom in full bloom, which withered when it opened. In fact, the beauty of the creature like a girl is also here. In this movie, ricci is somewhere between an adult and a minor. When he is hysterical, he does look like a nasty "woman", but following his mother's example of smoking cigarettes, he is clearly still a...

      Geniuses are crazy

      A girl who grew up in an atmosphere of relationship hysteria with her parents divorced since childhood. But she has a talent that is different from ordinary people. He likes to cut his own skin with a sharp weapon, and let the fresh and viscous blood adhere to his epidermis, and experience the pleasure in the bleeding.

          For her, it was a very unpleasant thing. This is Elizabeth Woods.

    Movie quotes

    • Mrs. Wurtzel: I kill myself to get you to Harvard and you come back looking like a zombie!

    • Elizabeth: I don't have to go to Harvard to become a writer.

      Mrs. Wurtzel: Lizzie, what are you talking about? At Harvard you'll meet people. You'll get contacts, you'll have people to help you. I know what I'm talking about, Lizzie. I had my whole life ahead of me. You don't want to go to Harvard? Well, you just wait until you have no choices left, where you've got nothing. No one. No one who cares about you. Then you see how you feel.

      Elizabeth: Mom, I didn't say I wasn't going.

      Mrs. Wurtzel: Dr. Isaacs warned me.

      Elizabeth: Mom, I said I'm going.

      Mrs. Wurtzel: He told me you'd isolate. Stay in your room all day.

    • Elizabeth: [about her father] When I was eight, we went to see The Last Waltz. He passed out on tranquillizers. I had to sit through the movie three fucking times before he woke up.
