Unique temperament, this kind of real experience, self-written and self-directed films cannot be replicated. The movie "Letterhead Story" tells the story of the heroine who re-faces the abnormal emotional experience of the 13-year-old summer after many years because of a letter found by her mother, and faces the hurt of being violated. The film's approach to storytelling is original and personal. The protagonist constantly reconstructs his memory, constantly talks to his past self, and constantly reveals his true thoughts. Reminiscent of the debut film "I Killed My Mom" ​​by the talented Polish director, one can find a subtle sense of self-examination. Its biggest highlight is that because the director knows enough about himself, the inner world of the protagonist she builds is complex, rich, repetitive, unconventional but convincing. Most movies do it this way, and it's easy to feel that the characters are pushing too hard, or deliberately pushing for expression. The only thing that strikes me as flawed is the way the protagonist is portrayed in the title. I think her life experience is enough to support her wanting to see the past clearly. So there is no need to emphasize her pursuit of truth at the beginning of the film, it will make me aware of the screenwriter's deliberate traces.

    "My Dialogue with Me" is not an inquiry and recall, but a continuation of a psychological process from an equal perspective. In any case, the dimness and ambiguity of the 13-year-old are unreal and unreliable. The hurt and discomfort that was so suppressed and hidden made a part of her soul stay forever at that age of loss of protection.

The Tale quotes

  • Jennifer: [Staring at an 11-year-old photo of herself from the 1970's] I was so little!

  • Jennifer: I couldn't ask for help. I was waiting for you to save me. Somehow in my mind, it couldn't be anybody else. It had to be you. Why didn't you?

    Mrs. G: No one saved me.
