Sometimes, we are not as smart as we think. We will be confused by some things that we are obsessed with, such as Jenny in the play, attracted by mature, funny, fashionable and charming David, and step by step out of the life track that she has worked hard for more than ten years and step into the first real tragedy trap in her life. Of course, this movie also made Jenny realize this brilliantly. At the end of the film, the heroine finally realized that what she had been obsessed with before was just something flashy and illusory. She regained her fighting spirit and returned to her original life track.
In this respect, littlej seems to be lucky. In pursuit of so-called freedom, taste and excitement, she lost her first time, her most sincere feelings and the opportunity to enter Oxford ... but at the same time, she also learned a lot of valuable things! She learned a lot from her misfortune that young people in love can't understand, such as the proposition of "pursuit".
Pursuit is always a huge and passionate proposition. In this extraordinary growth process, littlej learned that people should pursue, but at the same time, the pursuit should not be blind. Pursuing the seemingly best thing in the world is not the best pursuit, but when you pursue it, you will know that you are pursuing something that really belongs to you, not just beautiful luxury.
Yes, who doesn't love the gorgeous moment of fireworks? But don't forget, only thick smoke and strong smell of sulfur are left behind afterwards.
In the whole movie, the most emotional picture is Jenny's re-reading day. It's dull but full. This makes me feel that growing up is always not so smooth.
Perhaps, the depth of life is carved out in that roughness.
