Lady Bird
After watching the lady bird, you know that it is not just you who:
- long for moving to NYC
- shout at your mom but miss her dearly
- jump like a flying kite after kissing your favorite boy
- want to punch these so-called authorities
- have to speak up the truth, LOUDLY
- fight with your best friends
- …
So enjoy your grow-up and be yourself rather than feel ashamed about it.
My favorite scene is that lady bird was flying to NYC for college, her mother sent her to the airport but too mad to take her inside the airport, then the ground moves … anybody who takes airplane know that this is your airplane taken off. TAKING OFF and “the ground leaving you” — does it remind you some emotional moment in your life?!
Another interesting scene, lady bird wakes up in the hospital from drunk, then she saw beside her bed, sat a boy who lost an eye. Then the movie moves on. What is your thought for this scene? “oh i am such a fuck up, hospital should be for these people who really need, but I ruin my life like this …” That is an example that lady bird is a movie of “you figure it out”, while CoCo is a movie of “I tell you so”, which is then boring. Some memorable quotes from the movie:
“Sacramento is the midwest of California”
“Just married to (Jesus)”
“now, let’s compete who can cry first”
“I live at the wrong side of the track”
“Listen, if your mother had had the abortion, we wouldn’t have to sit through this stupid assembly! ”
