but i tell you this I Knew when it was ending .I was overwhelmed by sadness when I realized that I was gonna change and that it was all almost likely gonna get worse. Like a nostalgia for the presient .I couldn't shake it.

This is a dialogue between the hero and heroine in the film. Perhaps because of the participation of Haimo, the film exudes a strong British flavor.
Youth is always green and sweet. This dialogue between the hero and Sally actually represents that every person who has experienced high school has doubts about himself. We go from being full of beauty to the world to entering adolescence, the "internship stage" before truly stepping into society. And 'live' and 'homework' obviously have huge differences. When we are experiencing puberty, some people like heroines do not think about the meaning of life, but just live to feel it; some like will, zoe, do not need to estimate the pressure of 'homework', just enjoy every second of youth ; There are also male protagonists who are full of confusion about life.
At the end of the film, there is no answer to life or the meaning of living, but the film itself has not ended its exploration of the perplexity of youth. Whether 'homework' equals survival is a question later in the film. But of course, the male protagonist did not continue to be immersed in entanglement and confusion in the end. It turned out that growing up is just letting go and doing it, and growing up is to face yourself bravely and calmly. Survival obviously requires great courage, and the male protagonist finally experienced growth and faced his heart calmly.
Every one of us who has come here will sneer at the confusion of the past youth, but the male protagonist in the film shows the beauty of this confusion delicately. That is a stage of life, not the whole, whether it is to remember the sweetness of our growth when our vision of the world collided with reality, which may be what the film wants to convey. Perhaps courage is the power to face oneself, or finding oneself is an inevitable and eternal topic of growing up.
The soundtrack of the film is very good, and the film has a very skins feel.
