What you are chasing is nothing but what your heart desires most

The plot of this film can be described as plain as water, but the emotional things are deeply hidden in the ordinary picture, which inadvertently makes people fall into it.

Just like what the male protagonist has been searching for through 1,200 miles, it's just a phantom that best fits his ideal. Even if there is an ending of "suddenly looking back, that person is in the dim light", but what can it be? Talk about love? hug and cry? Live happily ever after? That's the good will in fairy tales, but in real life it's just a detached "Would you like to accompany me here?", and then found that she is not the free and easy woman living in her mind, but just a common Ordinary, only mortals who will be worried and anxious about the future. It's like being disillusioned from heaven to the world in an instant, but this is the reality of life, her beauty is nothing but the blessing you use with your thoughts, as illusory and vulnerable as a paperweight.

But after all, they have really chased it, and some people still don't have such courage. Isn't the most laudable realm in life the madness that is sought but cannot be found? Besides, there are still three or two confidants with you, wanton youth, and walk unrestrainedly. Even the boring road trip brings a lot of joy. That kind of courage to leave without suppressing the urge to leave, makes the old man who is dying in the sun really envious. You can do what you want to do willfully, you can choose the people you get along with, you don't have to worry about paying, you don't have to care about the consequences, although it's a bit reckless, but it won't make people have the heart to blame, it's nice to be young.

    The otaku has had a crush on an adventurous girl since childhood. A punishing incident, a long-distance search. The otaku realizes that the adventure girl is just an ordinary girl. Secret love, first love to breakup, it's just a simple procedure, because in this paper town, everyone is just an ordinary paper man. It won the best summer film in the American Teen Choice Awards, but 34 media gave it only 56 points and failed. 6.0 points

    When the illusion of love is disillusioned, maybe you will find that the surrounding that you usually ignore is the most precious gift God gave you.

Paper Towns quotes

  • Quentin Jacobsen: What a treacherous thing to believe that a person is more than a person.

  • Quentin Jacobsen: Interesting capitalization.

    Margo: Yeah. I'm a big believer in random capitalization. The rules of capitalization are so unfair to words in the middle.
