Youth VS Maturity - a past that will never go back

Deonte 2022-04-23 07:03:35

A teenage 19-year-old girl, wanting to get out of her awkward and ignorant adolescence, thinks she's mature enough to discuss music, literature, and fall in love with a man in his twenties, and as she said at the end, she just wanted to Get a shortcut to growth through him.

However, he really regarded the youthful and pure college time as a life-saving straw. He found the meaning of life in the boring and hopeless work life in the huge New York City, and avoided the inevitable reality and loneliness in life by returning to college.

It is such a simple story. What the director and starring want to express is nothing more than what age should do at what age. The youth that many people want to get rid of is the time adults desperately reminisce. It's just that all the things are stopped. If I can dig deeper, I think it will be a lot better. Maybe after all, the young experience is limited, so the expression has become a little fresh.

Why do I write a film review for him, because it evokes my own experience, when I was young, I deliberately expressed the so-called different, so I looked for some difficult and obscure movies to watch, as if I was profound , I want to chat with the elders about the so-called life journey that I haven't started yet, secretly fall in love with someone who has a much richer experience than myself, and want to quickly enter the adult world. There is also my favorite English and American literature teacher, Thoreau, the transcendentalist, the romantic poet Byron, and the British lakeside poets.

Now, I have been living in the magic capital for almost 3 years, and I have seen all kinds of different situations in the workplace. The initial excitement of coming to the city has disappeared. The cold city, small space, high consumption, more and more Many responsibilities and pressures make me cherish family, friendship, and love even more. I no longer want to watch such esoteric movies and books, and I don’t want to be a literary youth anymore. I tell myself to be realistic and fight hard for the house, the car, and the children who will be born in the future.

But deep down, I am still the person who is romantic to death. I stubbornly feel that my existence is not purely for the sake of houses and cars. If this is the meaning of my life, I will not refuse so many good opportunities to make money. . There must be something spiritual to keep me going, I think. . .

    Maturity has little to do with age, but with mentality.

    Perfection in technique is an added surprise. What's more important is that delicate emotion, anyone who has experienced literature and art can feel it. It just hit all the literary temperament in me and made me forget the faults of the movie itself.

  • Jesse Fisher: Dear Zibby. Even after all these months, I'm still half expecting a letter from you to be sitting in my mailbox. I'm sure you have little left to say to me at this point, but your letters are very much missed. I know I hurt you, and I'm sorry. Any bone headed moves that may have lead to confusion were not malice. That said, I've been feeling lately the stirrings of something I can only call growth. It's a tribute of sorts to say that someone sixteen years my junior helped me to finally start acting my age. A wise man in a red hat once told me: "Everything is okay." I didn't believe him then, but for some reason I'm starting to.
