Nadi's inner monologue for the past seventeen years

The Chinese brothers are involved in the investment, so there is an Asian boy Erwin in the film, who is in line with the characteristics of an excellent Asian boy, flexible, smart, handsome, and luxurious (much cheaper than buying a house in Shanghai==) This important role is routinely used. Arranged at the same table as the heroine of the school (actually next door, one person per person, this is also the case in Chinese classrooms now==), Nadine allowed the opposite sex to enter her closed thinking space for the first time after her father, yes, the heroine Nadine is a very closed little girl with no self-confidence. The problem is that she has a brother who is outstanding in all aspects - looks, grades, social relationships, parents' love, etc. This is the inferiority complex that Nadine has produced from the comparison in her childhood. She has always been with her until she was 17 years old. She felt that she was a mess and everything was wrong. She was ridiculed and looked down upon by others. The only warmth she felt was the warmth of the family. After her father died of an accidental illness, it became more difficult. struggle to describe.

She couldn't integrate into the circle of friends around her, and even participated in a friend's party. When she saw her best friend chatting with others, she felt betrayed and completely separated from communication. She really felt that the care of her family was taken away by her brother. , she has nothing in her life, she hates herself terribly. After successive setbacks, after Nick, who had a crush on her, responded to her text messages inconceivably, she felt like grabbing a life-saving straw and excitedly went on a date with Nick. Unexpectedly, Nick, who met her, only wanted to have sex with her. Emotional trough, uncontrollable stage, easy to make irrational choices without judgment, Nick's bridge is to show - the choices that go head-to-head are often accompanied by irrational, but unknowingly. Danger is accompanied by impulsiveness, and the situation of impulsiveness may not necessarily be emotional excitement, but may also be emotional trough. Extremes are prone to impulsive choices, and impulsiveness is the devil. Deleted (optional) The picture description says back to the Asian boy Erwin, the old-fashioned love at the same table, he had a crush on Nadine, and even wanted to kiss her impulsive in the playground, Nadine also made a breakthrough when he was with him natural, confident. The film clearly shows that a confident Nadine can also be beautiful. This is also true in life. The brilliance of self-confidence changes from the inside to the outside. The brilliance is not about the outside, but more about the inner nature and self-confidence. Erwin treats Nadine sincerely, and carefully respects and understands Nadine's fragile psychology, allowing her to accept this opposite sex for the first time after her father. |

The embarrassing scene where I wanted to kiss but didn't succeed

In the final stage, Nadine plucked up the courage to tell her brother, which seemed to open a knot in her heart for 17 years, and also seemed to say goodbye to her past 17 years. She hated herself like that, but she fell deeper and deeper and couldn't change. , she needs to tell, needs the warmth of the family, needs to be accepted by others, and more importantly, needs to be accepted by herself - this should be the edge of growth.

In fact, the movie expresses common psychological problems, and it is also a problem that is easy to exist in the second child, that is, one of the children hates himself because he does not receive attention and does not feel love, and he is autistic and lacks self-confidence. The tighter it is, the way and way to open it is also the point of view that the movie wants to express. One is that healthy love is very important to each other's growth, especially inner growth. The situation of couples without approval is that all kinds of things are not pleasing to the eye, not a problem. It will also be magnified into a disadvantage. After all, the problem is easy to appear between two honesty. The truth of Xi Shi in the eyes of a lover is that you need both to be happy first, then it will not be a problem to see anything, and then accept it. On the premise that they can both be more confident and cheerful, of course, the issues mentioned here do not include drug abuse, beatings and scoldings, which are ethical behaviors. The second important thing is the understanding of the family. The harbor is always very important. It accompanies the initial stage of growth, but now the closest people don’t know each other’s hearts. We need to be honest with each other, pay more attention to each other, know Only by the true thoughts of each other can we not misunderstand each other. This is how common we, especially Asian families, are at that age. Only when these two are done well, there will be no ups and downs in the heart, and there will be no extremes, and self-confidence will be written on the face, so that everyone will shine.
