A movie that tends to be conservative in its values.

It's not hard to read in the film's finale: growing up means nostalgic for home, respect for religion (from call me Lady Bird to I am CHRISTine), and reconciliation with parents.

We often speak of “right-wing nostalgia,” and nostalgia for home is often seen as a symbol of right-wing conservatism. Not to mention the right-wing leanings of "religion" and "parents". Such conservative values ​​really suit the tastes of the Oscar judges, which may be one reason why the film was nominated for an Oscar.

Aside from the discussion on the values ​​of the upper line, the American street scene, small town girls, the troubles and interests of adolescence, and the similarities between Chinese and American small town societies reflected in the film make this film worth watching.

"You are an outstanding person. Whenever I look at you, I can't believe that this is my daughter." Although I am also an ordinary person with problems, my mother should see me the same way.

Maternal love in film and television works may be a kind of kidnapping, or it may be a true reflection of reality.

    The heart is higher than the sky, but life is not thinner than paper. Desperately want to leave the small closed place, leave the unseen crowd. It hurts if you are near, and you read it if you are far away.

    Very good, very good, a new height in the growth of a small county in the 18th line of the United States, and the highlight of the screenwriter (although the screenwriter's own acting skills are cheating), the experience of this film in Sacramento must be very popular. Subjective order: Sister Bird>Wallflower Boy=I, Earl and the Dying Girl=Twentieth Century Woman>Boyhood
