My Leading Lady Bird

Who will dance with her? She hates to be alone. That's smart, really. Being alone leads to loneliness. She's not going to meditate until she finds her inner light. I know that it doesn't exist, but I can't speak for her. I may have seen the movie, but that wasn't her end. A lady's senior high school year is formative, but not conclusive. Although my experiences differed from hers, the currents of change were all but the same. How she grows out of these changes is only the beginning of her journe

A Journey of Self-Discovery: Lady Bird

"Maturity is when your world opens up and you realize that you are not the center of it." - M.J. Croan In the world of cinema, there are films that leave a special mark on you, and Lady Bird is one of them. Directed by Greta Gerwig and released in 2017, this film takes us by the hand through the final years of Christine "Lady Bird" McPherson's adolescence, masterfully played by Saoirse Ronan. From the first moment, Lady Bird envelops you with its authenticity, its humor, and its pain, reflecting

A Journey of Self-Discovery: Lady Bird

The struggles inherent in growth

As a coming-of-age film, Lady Bird's plot is familiar yet detailed. The story revolves around the main character, a high school girl who wants to leave a small town in California to study in New York. The narrative is interspersed with the ups and downs of family, friendship, and love on the journey of growing up. Themes such as joining clubs, relationships, heartbreak, first experiences, college applications, and the clichéd yet essential conflicts and reconciliations with best friends are all

Mistress America:Put away your arrogance and let life teach you a lesson

"Do you ever get that feeling when you're driving, you never want to reach your destination, and you hope it never ends. You must have had such a time, 'in your twenties, doing nothing, thinking you're a writer.' You read a lot, watch a lot of movies, and go to performances often. You try some marijuana, flirt with the opposite sex, and do anything related to being unconventional, you want to try it. You secretly prepare to write your first short story. Just like Tracy in the movies, nineteen ye

Anxiety of Identity

Recently, I've been particularly fond of a phrase: "Each has their tears." In the documentary "Life in a Day" people from various corners of the Earth uploaded clips of their ordinary days. Combined, it was plain and simple, with joy and sadness appearing so understated. However, at the end of the film, amid thunder and lightning, a girl sitting in a car somewhat plaintively reproaches herself for having too ordinary a day. But then she said, as if realizing that nothing had happened today, some

Encountering Struggles, Just Because You're Leaping into Life

"Lady Bird" unexpectedly reveals some interesting nuances, that is, the ways in which adolescents clash with their families seem to be universal. The gaps, arguments, and generation gaps between young people and parents, regardless of cultural differences, tend to manifest in a remarkably similar fashion during a specific period. This revelation might offer solace to many viewers, making our own regrets, dissatisfaction, and even anger during adolescence seem less isolated. This is why this simp

Modern Friendship Story

"Frances Ha" (2012) is the earliest installment in a trilogy and serves as Greta Gerwig's debut as a screenwriter (co-written with the director Noah Baumbach, who is also her boyfriend). However, the life stage of the story's protagonist, Frances, a 27-year-old apprentice dancer, is more closely aligned with the creators than the other two films in the trilogy, "Mistress America" (2015) and "Lady Bird" (2017). After graduating from college, Frances has been living in New York, nurturing her drea
