Teenagers of this age sometimes don't know how to become the kind of person you expect

After the two directors had the "Gossip Girl" series and the "Breaking Bad" series respectively, I finally watched this so-called best youth drama in the 90s at the end of 2018. I fell in love with Jared Leto at the end of the year and couldn't help but wonder why Americans are so obsessed with Jordan Catalano in his pre-teen years that there are still people 20 years later Ask him "Has dyslexia affected your life?"

Sister Juliet won the Golden Globe Award for this drama before she became Juliet, the peerless young Li. Here I see a different her, she is Angelica Chase, a 15-year-old red-haired little girl who grew up in trouble. In the youth drama without abortion, showing off her wealth, or even without a mobile phone, her life is simple and complicated, real and unreal. Only here, I have a real touch, a blockbuster and familiar youth.

In the era when Britney Spears was popular all over the country, the typical American youth was the lockers at both ends of the corridor, beautiful girls dressed in hot clothes, and MSCL, it was the smoky 90s in the toilet, it was Checkered shirts, dirty mirrors, people come and go. The director has a special love for the mirrors in the girls' bathrooms, which reflect the thousands of postures of the girls, which are both public and private. In a unique era, every corner has a unique meaning.

Like most youth dramas, Angela is the epitome of all girls of this age, with eccentric characters, plain looks, and no secret love. In the second episode, Dad said to her, "Boys your age, sometimes they don't know how to be the kind of person you expect." I think it's a common problem with people this age, not just boys, all Everyone is. Because I don’t know how to become the kind of person I expect, but if I’m not careful, I may become the kind of person I don’t want to be, eager to change but afraid to take steps.

She seems to never handle the relationship with her parents well, but she doesn't know how envious others are. She just seemed to go with the flow, following the growing army, and she was left behind if she wasn't paying attention, and she did seem to be left behind, such as the overdue sex, such as those geometry lessons that Jordan left behind.

She is obsessed with justice that may be a little thin, such as choking "it's not fair" in the talk room when a small note spreads across the campus; arguing violently with her mother on Christmas Eve, for the sake of being homeless in an abandoned factory friends competing for a seat at a Christmas dinner.

She didn't know why she was estranged from her old friends who talked about everything. They yelled in the public restroom, blushed and cursed, but also wept behind their backs because of the urge to blurt out their own words. They quarreled so violently that one day they reached a peaceful reconciliation in the hut they grew up together in the same year.

She would be troubled by a long-lasting pimple on her chin, and she would be dissatisfied with her ordinary because of seeing the hot girl selection flyer sent by the annoying boys at school, although she said it was fine.

She did everything possible to get close to the boy she had a crush on, and she deliberately pretended to meet by chance just to say hello. He peeked at his face in the reflection of the TV, and was full of him during class. Perhaps it was the intersection of utter innocence and confusion. One day he also became fascinated by this ordinary girl. In English class, he mustered a lot of courage to argue for Shakespeare's lover and he was not sure whether it was his lover or not. one sentence. But I think she may not know for a long time that the song that she thought was written for herself, so she invited her to invite him, was just written for her beloved red sports car, and one day, the little red-haired girl who knew the whole truth would not will be more sad.

She made a wish for more self-discipline in the New Year, so that she would stop thinking about it, and then everything she expected could not be realized.

As she took the risk, she thought that maybe this would prove that she was alive.

She was like me when I was a teenager, like anyone at school.

I have no way to pick a thorn in anyone in the show, because youth is often so unreasonable, I know that that night leaning on Jordan's red sports car, Rayanne's body itself is similar to Angela's part on display. They don't want to hurt anyone, but they inevitably hurt everyone.

Angela got into Jordan's sports car, leaving Brain and his bike standing in front of her door, and it stopped abruptly, and there was no second season. I told myself that I don't have to think too much about the next part, it's easier to be disappointed if I think too much. How many people can stay with the boy they liked in adolescence all the time, and how many people often still harbor secrets that they can share with their teenage friends.

When I was 15 years old, I was like Angela most of the time. I was confused about school and hated family. I only liked to listen to Kabriel over and over with MP3s in my room. The divination manual reads, "Magician, Queen, Fool, Wheel of Fortune, Strength. They represent challenges and trials, twists and turns of fate, there is no complete good and bad cards, cards can be positive or negative, The key is where they end up."

"Each card leads to the next card, so it will come."

"In the dark, there is hope."

    The English teacher was lazy and let it go.

    Who can not have a foolish adolescence, Jiji poked into tears and recalled that the friendship in my youth was always me and you, but I couldn't be good to others. Others' families always seem to be better than their own. Who else can't? Fall in love with the person you shouldn't like the most. (It's the young master, who doesn't like it~~) It's so awkward to just watch the 23-year-old master talk to the 14-year-old girl- -||| Unfortunately, our Geek krakow is twenty years earlier than the times~~
