In life, there are no shortcuts.

"An education".

This movie suddenly made me shudder. When I watched the trailer, there were two places that were the most profound:

1) Action is Character. If we never did anything, we wouldn't be anybody. (Behavior is character (or behavior is better than everything), if we do nothing, how can we achieve anything?)

2) - You seem to be old and wise. ——I feel old, but not very wise. (You make me feel old and shrewd; old and not shrewd.)

Then, it fits with the movie's trailer: Sometimes an education isn't by the book . (Sometimes, growing up doesn't mean sticking to the rules.)



Every girl has her own dream after college or working: I want to read the book I like, listen to the music I like, and wear the clothes I think look good. ........Do everything I've always wanted to do, free and wonderful.

However, life doesn't all go your way. Maybe, you will put all that behind you because of your work, maybe you will lose yourself because of a life of lavish money, maybe, all that changes is just because of a beautiful and depraved encounter.

The part about the girl crying to her mom and dad really struck me: Silly schoolgirl are always getting seduced by glamorous old men, What about you two? , never divided into age groups, but in experience and knowledge, as well as material satisfaction.

Therefore, the existence of our parents gave us a bright direction. Since my sophomore year of high school, my mother's words have been regarded as famous words or orders. I am her daughter. Even if she kills the whole world, she will not harm me. Then let us guide the way in this colorful, intoxicated, and sweet-talking world. Because we are materially satisfied, our experience has their strong backing, and our knowledge is ours, we can distinguish right from wrong, good people and bad people in this world.

Watching the movie again, there are two options: one is to continue studying and go to Oxford, repeating the life and study of Boring and Boring; the other is to marry a man who can take you to France and let you understand what beauty and wonderfulness are. I think if I, or even most of the girls in the world, would choose the second. Because what are we after?

What are we after? Isn't it just enjoyment and life? Such a kind of life, rich and happy, allows you to do what you like, go to your favorite place to be romantic, what's the point of not going to Oxford?

I knew that the plot would not just develop into a fairy tale. And a man in his 30s has everything, but why doesn't he have a matching woman? I'm an Outsider, so I can see clearly that there must be something wrong with the man's back. But the girl who is immersed in charming love is still weaving the dream of that charm, leaving this conformist country, going to that romantic and beautiful France, and doing whatever she likes to do. This is what happens so many times when we face temptation, we even forget who we are. A "seed" student who is about to be admitted to Oxford University, smart and beautiful, will faint in such a beautiful temptation.

On the 17th birthday, dedicate yourself to an attractive man, live a life better than a dream, then grow and get back on track.

After watching the film, I was very enthusiastic, even in the face of the temptation, I still have to do what I have to do. Only your own things and things will not leave you, or even deceive you. Including love and money.

Therefore, the economy must be independent, and the emotions must be kept clear-headed.

It's easy to say, but it seems ironic.

The education of growth is really not in the book, and it is not just sticking to the rules. Only if you have experienced it and understood it, you will be impressed. You can use it at any time for a lifetime. The point is not what you have experienced, and what kind of road you choose to walk on by summarizing your lessons.

Many times people are always sighing at the youthful arrogance of teenagers; adults also always say, I have already said it, but you just don't listen; you just don't understand and don't understand; you shouldn't do this, what you do is actually In destroying yourself...

a lot of times, it's only after going through labor that you understand what's right and what's wrong.

It's just that life has too many twists and turns, too many doubts, too many frustrations, and when we are naive and fearless, there are too many temptations and setbacks.

Fortunately, we still have the possibility to try again. So if you fall down, you must remember to get up and keep going.
