A youthful comedy full of surprises

At first, I had the mentality of watching it casually, but after watching it, I didn't expect more and more surprises.

The plot can be divided into four lines, the story of four 17-year-old girls, Tibby, Carmen, Bridge, and Lena, on separate summer vacations. Every line has a bright spot.

Tibby experienced a life and death, a short-lived friendship, which brought her a growth. The little girl with leukemia bloomed a lot of philosophical fireworks. She is not afraid of death, but afraid of not having enough time to think about who I am and where I am going. From the image of the bear child that appeared at the beginning to the little angel who made people's hearts melt at the end, this character is too pitiful.

Carmen's experience was the worst at the beginning. The estrangement in the reorganized family and the neglect of his father made Carmen suffer a lot. But she is smart and can express herself bravely. In the end, a phone call between him and his father told us the importance of communication. The blood of relatives is thicker than water. No matter how clear it is, we will forgive and understand.

At the beginning, I was the least optimistic about the Bridge line. I thought it had the least depth, but after seeing it, I understood it. In fact, this line has a very high depth. Bridge always gives people the feeling of being full of energy. Do your friends comment that you don't sleep? In fact, this is her firmness or a way to divert her attention. Because in fact, the shadow of her mother's suicide is very big. If she wants to escape this shadow, she needs to divert her attention and keep looking for things to do. At the same time, she wants others to see that she is different from the mother who committed suicide. She is very strong. So many times I will be firm and strong, and strive to be the first. This also explains why she caught up with the coach but lost instead. So I really like what Carmen said to Bridge, because something that should be sad isn't painful, isn't it?

The last line of Lena is the exile of love and the liberation of mind. Is family feud better than love? Lena's brave dialogue with grandpa at the end is worth thinking about. I know grandpa, you and I both have a stubborn and conservative side, but in fact, the free love that we both pursue in our hearts can be seen from the scene where grandpa kisses grandma romantically. So in the end, grandpa only said Go, they can understand each other. So Lena is also the one who seems to have changed the most among the four.

Other points to complain about, 1. Tibby and Carmen's quarrel, I think both sides have problems, but in the end only Carmen apologized, I think this plot is not very good. Carmen and friends complain about it just for comfort, but Tibby grabs you and blames her for smashing the window. You can ask her questions, but you need to appease your friend's negative emotions before making suggestions, instead of adding fuel to the fire. For your good friend, it is meaningless to argue about the moral theory. This is very similar to the performance of some friends with low emotional intelligence. And Carmen was outspoken, and the words were a little heavy. So both have problems, and Tibby should apologize too. 2. I have to complain about the ending. I really don't understand the operation of going to a wedding. I can't just arrange it for one hp. The stepmother and her daughter have always been a little bit on Carmen, and they ended up smashing the window. Do you think this kind of person comes to your wedding, will you suddenly clear your suspicions? I was so concerned about the wedding clothes before, and suddenly I put on jeans, and the stepmother still Can you be happy? It is understandable for the father to accept it, but the stepmother's tolerance is suddenly so good, which is really confusing.

In a word, this movie is still very good, youth should be like this, experience all kinds of things in the world, let go of love, let go to make, only after experience will you grow, you will be better able to face the next challenge, and you will be able to finish it better the rest of my life.

    Although contrived + cliché is inevitable in this type of film, it is really good to narrate the constant theme of growth in this way. Samsung and a half

The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants quotes

  • Tibby: I'm just saying parents screw up. It's what they're good at. They do.

  • Carmen: [At her house, sitting at a table across from Tibby. Awkwardly, shifting in her chair, Carmen speaks into the phone] Um... I just... I wan - .

    Al: [At his house, Al walks from the dining room where Lydia and the kids eat dinner, to a small den and speaks to Carmen at a whisper] I-It's alright. You don't - you don't have to apologize, sweetheart. You were... upset, I know.

    Carmen: Um... no dad. You don't know. That's just it, you've never known. Because I've never been able to tell you.

    Al: T-Tell me what?

    Carmen: That I'm angry with you, Dad!

    [She stands and walks across the room and begins to pace]

    Carmen: This entire thing about you, and Lydia, and... and the kids!

    Al: It's my fault.

    [He sits at a small table]

    Al: I, I should have told you about them before... and I'm - I'm sorry.

    Carmen: Yeah, you should have warned me, but it's more than that. It's, it's the fact that you've found yourself this new family and I feel like some outsider that doesn't even belong to you anymore.

    [Carmen begins to cry, softly]

    Carmen: It's like you traded me and mom in for something that you thought was better. And I wanna know why. Are you ashamed of me? Are you embarrassed?

    [Cut to Al, listening to Carmen through the phone]

    Carmen: Just tell me, Dad. What did I do wrong?

    [Back to Carmen, crying much harder now]

    Carmen: Why did you leave? Why did you have to go? And then tell me that we were gonna be closer but that never happened! And why does Paul visit his alcoholic dad every month, but you only visit me twice a year? And I know you... you just seem so happy about being Paul and Chris's dad, but you never even had the time to be mine.

    Al: [Cuts to Al, still sitting. Very quietly] I'm sorry. I... I'm so sorry...

    Carmen: [Back to Carmen] I wish that were enough, Dad.

    [Hangs up]
