You want to fast forward, often just press the repeat button

-"Why do you hate me?"
-"Because you are ugly."

The pain of adolescence came directly and directly. This is the story of an ugly duckling, you know, no matter how she metamorphoses, she won't be able to open her beautiful big white wings in the end. The whole family under the label of the middle class seems to be happy and happy, making the 11-year-old Dawn more like a discordant note, clumsy, weird, inferior, and sensitive. She lives in a desperate and repetitive gray, even if occasionally secretly. The romantic pink will soon be washed away by disappointment, ridicule and humiliation.

By the age of 21, Dawn will still be an ugly girl. Her life will never be as lucky as the ugly Betty. Even her home is so cold as not to be approached. In particular, there is a cute, sweet-spoken, and scheming sister. Her unbeautifulness, lack of smoothness, and lack of flexibility is a fatal disaster. She knew that she was not pampered, and she simply built a Special People Club (or an "abnormal human research center") in the backyard with the neighbor's boy, trying to "be different" against everything around her, just like all children In her heart, she is still full of eagerness to become a focal point.

The school is another peaceful purgatory, with a row of snow-white lockers, and the venomous words scribbled on her lockers are particularly dazzling. Being ostracized by girls, bullied by boys, and the extermination teacher constantly ordered "Louder" to review the books in class, and the cruelty of adolescence can be seen clearly. Looking back at our teenage years, this seems to have happened around us, but it hasn't reached the point of such tragedy. Of course, even though the director Todd Solondz pushed Dawn into a bleak blind spot, in the end she didn't let her use a hammer to kill her sleeping sister. At most, she cut off her Barbie doll's head, just like when we encounter a problem, we will get fierce. Thoughts, but in the end we mostly gave up the flash of horror thoughts and licked the scars in peace and depression.

Ugly is a scar that is exposed and hard to heal. "Lesbian" and "Dog Face" make people almost forget her real name. Even the "faggot" who is bullied in the class is unwilling to take her. feelings. Banba tried to use rape to humiliate her because of a certain holiday. In fact, the P-old child was still ignorant and ignorant, and a strange feeling grew in his heart. The funny thing is that the so-called rape plan seems to have become a business in the mouths of the two children-"I'll rape you today at 3 pm", "Are you still going to rape me", "There's not enough time", " Thanks Brandon"... But after laughing, he couldn't help but sympathize with these two people who have fallen into the world.

But she refused to look like Brandon because she was obsessed with a more handsome rock man. This brother's friend is not only tall and mighty and can sing, but also closer than his own brother. Even his crude appearance when eating snacks is still a lyrical piece in her eyes. Watching her sing along with [Welcome to the Dollhouse], perhaps it also reminds us of that stupid self, but that person will never know this little secret. When she wore cheap jewellery hair ties and tight-fitting umbilicals and went to see Steven with her own self-confidence, all she got was a mocking response of "Your club is for retards".

The sister was lost, and the whole family was in a mess. She ran to New York City alone to find her sister, but no one found her missing. She seemed to be the transparent person forever, only to be noticed when she violated her parents. She found her sister, and everyone said "I love you" to her, but when she woke up, she found it was a dream. When she got home, her sister had returned safely. Reading the thank-you letter at the school meeting, she was greeted with more fierce ridicule.

Singing [Hummingbirds] on the way to Disney, she understood with a melancholy face that the future is no different from the present, maybe it's just a little closer to the university.

At first I thought that the actor of the little girl was a bit familiar. I searched for Heather Matarazzo and found that it was the princess’s best friend in "The Princess Diaries" (it’s rare to see an actor that will give you a little confidence in looks), of course, hers The performance was quite outstanding, and with this film, he won the Best Newcomer Award of the Independent Spirit Award in 1997.

  • Dawn Weiner: I don't want to go to Disney World.

    Mark Weiner: Don't be stupid. If nothing else, it'll look good on your college résumé.

  • Mark Weiner: All of junior high school sucks. High school's better; it's closer to college. They'll call you names, but not as much to your face.
