' way of fighting growth is probably to find someone who is much lighter than yourself to have a romantic relationship, and the only way to prove that you grow is to find that one day you are no longer afraid of growth.

To me, it's all about growing up. The growth of the male protagonist, the growth that his teacher Peter very resisted but had to face, the growth of the female protagonist, the growth of the man with mania, everyone was lucky, because in the end they all grew into a proud posture , began to bloom.

But in fact, I think a man's growth should not be like this, should not grow in this way. Meet a 19-year-old girl, impress her with her self-righteous romantic feelings, use the girl to prove her so-called maturity and stability, and then meet the female English literature teacher who opened his romanticism, being ridiculed, questioned, and hit hard. Although I will also warm the 19-year-old suicide boy, it seems to warm the 19-year-old who is ignorant and overwhelmed. However, this is not the case. He should not be treated so tolerantly, and he should not meet the girl in the bookstore at the end and be together happily.

My favorite scene is the small movie theater where the male and female protagonists first met. The female protagonist is wearing a red shirt, sitting with her legs bent, tilting her head and discussing life with the male protagonist. Looking at the heroine, at that moment, the dark theater seemed to emerge from the ground, and the two of them were thickly enveloped. Then, hug and freeze.

What impressed me the most was the female teacher who taught English literature, the kind of icy hard calm after the event, turning on the light, smoking, speaking, drinking, all the actions seemed to never need rehearsal, natural and natural. Although she said that she used to love teaching, and then changed her life and broke her beliefs, she is still lucky, she has grown into a self that does not go against her heart. Do anything, do whatever you want.

And the girl in the bookstore, from the first time she met the male protagonist, the love hidden in her eyes could not be concealed, but people like her should continue to live alone and proudly, living in that book In the world without the hustle and bustle, one should not fall into the affectionate trap of the male protagonist.



Well, the last thing to say is that I'm not going to die. Not now, but if such a thing happens again, it will definitely not live.

    It is also a nostalgic campus theme, and the United States is completely different from "Those Years" and other small and fresh styles from Japan and Taiwan.

    2012/09/28 The rhythm is very good, with a touch of warmth and rationality interspersed with humor. The image of the male protagonist man-boy is very good, and the female protagonist’s eyes are bright and hot and beautiful. In fact, this question has always troubled me: if a person likes something that you think is worthless, shallow or stupid, is that person still worthy of liking?
