You think too much
I didn’t realize it was a French movie. If I had understood it, I probably wouldn’t have looked and looked, because I still had a strong dislike for French films about teenagers. Here, of course, a little better, because, apparently, it is made with a clutter under the Americans, so you can even look, but in general it is really lol. First of all, these terrible French boys who are all on the same face, so you can only tell them apart by their incredible hairstyles. Do French boys really go to school like that? If someone came with a hairstyle like this, I can imagine what nicknames his classmates would have been awarded. But, apparently, in fashionable and glamorous France, boys are not lazy to arrange on their heads every morning.
Second, the people in the film are weird, both teenagers and parents. What do you care what kind of pants your daughter wears? Well, she likes a thong, let her put on a thong. A dad breaking a guitar to a boy isn't particularly appropriate either. Yes, of course, and dad can be understood, because the boy was fond of music, and scored on study. But then you talk to your son, tell him, like, I'm gonna let you go to concerts if you don't have threes, etc. But no, we are not shown any of this, no conflict resolution! Adults are stupid in their own way, teenagers in their own way.
Thirdly, in every second film about the difficult life of schoolchildren, these children get drunk to the point of unconsciousness, eat drugs and sleep with anyone. And in this movie, we went a step further and showed a moment that shocked me. So, a mother and her friend talk about her daughter:
- Eventually, she slept with a guy after getting high on marijuana.
- She doesn’t sleep with anyone and rarely smokes. That's what most people do. It doesn’t matter if she does it from time to time.
- But it's still hard for me to accept.
- You're thinking too much.
You could have turned it off after that. That is, if in other films such behavior is theoretically condemned, then here we are directly told that smoking 15-year-old girl is normal!
These words were spoken by a police officer who specializes in the fight against drugs! Is smoking marijuana and sleeping with someone normal? No, maybe this is taken for granted in loving France, where they decided to legalize marijuana or have already legalized it, but for the mentality of the Russian person it is just terrible. And then, after watching, teenagers do that. Like, "from time to time" is possible. And then this “from time to time” becomes more and more frequent. Movies should be reasonable and kind, and not such nonsense.
So why did you shoot it? An abundance of started, but not finished storylines - for what, why? Any terrible stories about how we drank with Vaska at the dacha, in the morning I woke up, and virginity as never happened, you can read on the Internet. I just want to believe that these stories only happen to the unique, and are not commonplace.
Perhaps I am not close to this film because I did not have such problems as the heroes at one time, but there were others, but in general, if teenagers really do have such a situation as shown in the film, and they are so stupid and immoral, then here the truth and children will need to have.
