I envy her

I don't like to criticize a movie with too much personal emotion. The more technical and sensible ones are always pleasing to me. But he was still floating on the emotional surface for so long.

Almost every familiar face in "Growing Education" makes it full of fun watching movies from the very beginning. Unless it's a Classic Chick Flick like Notting Hill, it always takes a while for me to go from a rusty resistance to the plot and characters to blending in with it and breathing with my destiny. For example, "The Tide" didn't catch my eye until halfway through it, and "Love in Budapest" even felt the resistance was tight in the last 20 minutes.

Jenny's transcript is strikingly similar to Jo's, with one B and two A's, and one foot has set foot in Oxford. Smart, thoughtful, not afraid of life, more mature, with a charming charm between girls and women. There is a utilitarian but caring father who plays the cello, and a handsome boy of the same age who adore her - very much like the character setting of "Love at Twilight".

The tribute to Hepburn is permeated in the backbone of the story. This is a story about "rescue" similar to "My Fair Lady", and the trip to Paris is full of the sweet and joyful fun of "Sweet Sister".

I hadn't guessed at this not-so-novel ending, though the metaphor about Jane Eyre and Mr. Rochester couldn't have been more obvious. The proposal in the parking lot beat me so badly that as David cowardly fled from the scene, I was bitterly seeking excuses for him—excuse me for this tender, romantic, kind-hearted bastard; Mrs. Harvey is no different from the villain's excuse - but when "Mrs. Rochester" shows up, all the excuses are ridiculous, Mrs. Rocherster is not crazy, she is pale and haggard, she is not aggressive, she is even She was afraid of the 17-year-old female student in front of her.

So sad, so sad! The slightly sluggish ending instead clicked the question, reminding us, hey! That's not the point of the story!

This is not a speaking Camille. The story of how Claudette was tortured mad by talent and Rodin. Here is the story of how an honor student's exclusive life experience made her go astray, and how she learned a lesson and returned to the right path.

I'm almost jealous of Jenny. Her wise mind, her beauty, even her first love at the tragic end. Her experience, her Paris, can be my Haworth; her concerts and horse races can be my Wimbledon or the Nurburgring; her fancy clothes, of course, can also be my fancy clothes . But I'm most jealous of her power, that power, to get everything back on track. That kind of power makes her the person most empowered to reap such an experience. She still loves the painter, talking about Paris being so indifferent but not ordinary, our possible pear blossoms.

In our dull days, despite witnessing this cruel ending, I still covet such an affair. But I'm far from Jenny's smart and strong, far from Jenny's level. The final fantasy may be the long valley of the shadow of death, and it will not be an inspirational growth education.





The movie is a secret, a past encounter, a past, an absolute madness - they are hidden in the dull and ordinary days - it is a strong affection that has lasted for a long time, but after a long time when you look back , it's just a moment away. But your whole life has been waiting for that moment, or that moment that changed the rest of your life.

    It almost became a good educational film. I thought it was talking about skepticism of life, but it turned out to be a suspicion of strangers. The director obviously wanted to give a university a useless argument. In the end, it was nothing more than an uncle. Then the university would be useful. The single choice, the heroine is good, the acting is definitely above Sandra Bullock, and the future is boundless when encountering a good script

    David: Legally yes, but...

    Jenny: When were you going to tell me?

    David: Soon, it just never seemed like the right time. You seemed so happy, and I was happy...

    Jenny: You were living with your wife all this time, around the corner! Byron Avenue. It's no wonder we kept bumping into each other, is it? What number?

    David: 34. Don't be like this, come on.

    Jenny: I have nothing. I didn't take my exams. I... I left school. Where's it all gone now?

  • Jack: We have to have this out. Well, if you won't do it, I will. I'm still your father.

    Jenny: You're my father again now, are you? And what were you when you encouraged me to throw my life away? Silly schoolgirls are always getting seduced by glamorous older men, but what about you two?
