I always keep these lines by Chris in mind: " Don't ever let somebody tell you...you can't do something. Not even me." " You got a dream, you gotta protect it. People can't do something themselves,they wanna tell you you can't do it. If you want something, go get it. Period."

Sometimes, over generous economic background, over comfortable living conditions, and too ample time to waste contrarily get us losing faith and motivation of striving and advancing, as well taking time for granted rather than cherishing it.

A stockbroker internship position at Dean Witter might be one of the many opportunities for other interns. However, as for Chris, that was the one and the only hope. So he exerted all out to grasp tighter this opportunity than anyone else. He constantly believed in there's way out and kept showing the best of him, and finally he made it. Though there were tons of crappy, awful, terrible days and nights back then, those are the motivators and nutrients continuously push us to be better ones. I think Chris still view those predicaments as his gift ,counts the blessings and never takes them for granted.

No matter how we define our "happiness", there is one thing that the movie have us to bear deeply in mind: " Would rather strive but fail than living in the regret of not taking actions. Period" : )

The music, the contrast of tone, the advantage of lights and shadows, the subtle combination of the tempo and scene, and the emotion showing in Ryan gosling's eyes are all incredibly amazing. It presents the romance under the aestheticization of violence.

Though Ryan gosling had few lines and always slow react and respond by half a beat, he used his eyes to grasp our attention, we can totally feel that tense and nervousness, how incredible! (and also his pretty face lol) I partially wish the ending scene means they'll get back together otherwise that'll be soooo sad :(

I loved the chemistry between the main actors and actresses. They took deep into the characters that makes me easily relate to the circumstances in the movie. Idk why I wrote it so long lol but I have a lot to say.

Teens of all age might experience the situation of awkwardness in the party, loneliness during luncheon time, feeling so damn lost and self-abased in some ways, or even hated ourselves from the bottom of our hearts, not to mention expecting others to like us. Somebody's attentiveness is luxurious to us. And sure I did. Like Nadine hate what she saw, how she's acting, the way she sounds when she's like floating outside of her body and looking down on herself. The inferiority swallows us, swallows rest of a bit confidence and dignity till we build up a tough wall against others. Up to someday, there is a one who genuinely cherish you, love you and find out your special. Then the sincerity finally let down our guard so that we can finally get our reliefs. It's not telling us do not break the hearts of those who's totally snowflakes, easily to get hurt and over sensitive. Instead, we should have greater empathy with others, because everyone has story.

One of the impressive scene that Nadine's moms said: Here's what I do when I'm feeling down. I get very quiet and very still. And I said to myself " Everyone in the world is as miserable and empty as I am." "They're just better at pretending." I just deem it really helpful to me though.

Although the most touching scene is the hugging scene Nadine and her brother did, I still especially loved the swimming pool scene in Erwin's house. They are sooo good together and Haley looks insanely pretty in that scene. It's about growing, understanding, and empathizing. Highly recommended. Btw I need an Erwin in my life.
