Any aging without the purpose of growing up is a tragicomedy

Since The Big Bang Theory, there's been a Nerd in every movie.

Mavis is an immature spokesperson. Standing still in her own world, she takes it for granted to pursue a love that has left her in the past. In the eyes of outsiders, her life seems like a terrible tragedy. But she persisted. Running hard and falling down beautifully turned this tragedy into a comedy. Even in the end, she was hurt, because of a few words from Sister Matt, her life became clear again in an instant, and her psychological quality was excellent.

I'd be happy if I had a girl like that by my side. Sometimes you feel that time is stagnant in her, and seeing her is like seeing the past youth; sometimes you think she is a joke, all people are growing up, only she is simply getting old.
No matter what kind it is, having such a woman around will make people very happy, paying attention to her with jokes and sympathy, as if watching a joke. Seeing her, we will also feel that it is good to grow up.

The screenwriter created a typical character like Mavis, but arranged the plot so mediocre. The whole story is unknown, the praise and criticism are unknown, and nothing is shown in the absence of any incident. It's really just Theron's personal show. My mother watched it for a long time and asked me what the movie was talking about. I thought about it and could only say, this movie is about how a child who has grown up on the surface but has not grown up in his heart is destroyed by this world . My wife said it was too dramatic.

It can be said.

    Sandra Freehauf: Yeah, I know that Beth.

    Mavis Gary: What do you think of her?

    Sandra Freehauf: I don't really like her. I mean, I think you're way prettier than she is. What happened to your dress? I'm sorry, did I say something wrong? Shit. What's wrong? What did I say?

    Mavis Gary: I have a lot of problems.

    Sandra Freehauf: Can't you get a new dress?

    Mavis Gary: It's really difficult for me to be happy. And then for other people it just seems so simple. I know. They just grow up and they're so fulfilled.

    Sandra Freehauf: I don't feel fulfilled. And frankly, if you don't feel fulfilled with all the stuff that you have.

    Mavis Gary: I need to change, Sandra.

    Sandra Freehauf: No you don't.

    Mavis Gary: What?

    Sandra Freehauf: You're the only person in Mercury who could write a book or wear a dress like that.

    Mavis Gary: Don't say that. I mean, you think so?

    Sandra Freehauf: Everyone wishes that they could be like you. You know, living in the big city all famous and beautiful and all that.

    Mavis Gary: I'm not really famous.

    Sandra Freehauf: Well, you know, special or whatever. I mean, some days when I have a slow shift at work I'll sit and think about you living in your cool apartment, going out and stuff. It seems really nice.

    Mavis Gary: Yeah, but most people here seem so happy with so little. It's like they don't even seem to care what happens to them.

    Sandra Freehauf: That's because it doesn't matter what happens to them. They're nothing. Might as well die. Fuck Mercury.
