"Falling in love with you is my shortcut to growing up". When she first saw Jesse, Zibi couldn't help falling in love. Mature men are a "fatal" temptation for a girl who is growing violently. Zibi is youthful and has a unique interpretation of everything around her. She is eager to go to Jesse. the world to find out. Also eager to grow up is Dixie, who is always holding a copy of "Infinite Jest", he is always unhappy, seeking truth in the book, but ignoring other aspects of life.

"Not wanting to grow up is an adult's dirty secret". Zibi's father Peter and Jesse are the same kind of person. Jesse likes school because "it's a once-in-a-lifetime good time, you can sit and read all day, you can talk freely, and you can enter the society. Such opportunities", "There are countless futures in front of you in school, and when you step out of the school gate, reality will hit you, and the thousands of possibilities that were placed in front of you at the beginning may be just an illusion." When he was 19, he never grew up, he was among 19-year-olds", but he clearly knew it wasn't.

Is Twilight Saga bad fun? The heroine finds it incredible that the heroine reads the popular novel "Twilight", so she spends a day reading it to demonstrate the popular "entertainment to death". It was not until Dixie's suicide that he changed his mind. Books are only a part of life. Being too addicted to books may lead to narrow vision and paranoia of character. It also makes him discover the insurmountable gap between age and experience, and realize "what age?" What to do", no longer forcing the output of opinions, so he gave "Twilight" Amway to Dixie.

I like this movie very much. The charm of liberal arts and art is that it can always accurately describe those illusory real states and intentions in words. Many points of view in the film have pierced through me at the moment - "unwilling to grow", "nostalgic for school", always looking forward to the most ideal future in school, and constantly lowering the standards in the face of reality, it seems that as long as I am in school, I have always Contact with young people can keep you young forever, but how can time and experience deceive people, even if appearance and behavior can be faked, but concepts and knowledge are constantly betrayed.
