Lady Bird and coming-of-Age
story
A young girl named Christine (but nicknamed Lady Bird), just finishing high-school
focuses on her complicated relationships to/with her mother
USA/Sacramento in 2002
characters
She's always chasing what she doesn't have/constant insatisfaction
need for liberty, to escape CONTROL from family and education (changinf of her name to choose her real 'path'
Christine wants to escape, "escapism"BUT at the
same time needs to connect to her home and childhood place.
The mother seems abusive but actually struggling to give her daughter a good life/to give her love/ she wants Christine to be "the best version of herself"
elements of the movie
This is to be seen in the choice of the colours (autumnal/soft/faded)
focuses on specific places, neighbourhood, people
it is a film about "nostalgia", focusing on insignificant or key moments of high school life/it gives "glimpses" or "bursts of moments"
Coming of age themes
the fact that Christine wants to control her life/freedom
the necessity to "run away" but also come back "home"/
importance of love and connections
the fact that you realize what you have lost only until it's gone/realizing that relationships are imperfect "flawed" and "messy"
Relation with the lady's own story
Difficult relationships just like Christine
Though born in Thailand BUT finds elements looking like Sacramento, the childhood place
Both have just finished high school and remember things of the past
Has the impression to RELATE to the character
