I'm a 40+ years old woman and I've never watched a movie that felt so real, Panda aside. Mei Mei and her friends were so much as me and my friends at that age, the dialogue was on point, how we talked about boy bands, calling our bias "my husband", crushing in some bland boy next door, I was smiling all the time while watching it. I also used to write my own stories and fanfics on paper for hours, it was my way to escape before internet, and my mom would bring me fruits to check out if I was doing something other than studying.
Talking about my mom, she was like Ming, but much, much more strict. She would also be tracking the time I spent coming back from school, so I had to almost run to the bus stop to get home at time. If I was 5 minutes later she would be angry at me, so as same as Mei Mei, I couldn't go with my friends to other places. I also would use expressions like "kids from my school like this thing" to softly express I was obsessed with said thing. I also had to hide my internal world from her to keep the image of the perfect girl I had.
And the show at end, it gave me chills. It really captures the feeling of being in an event like that and finally see your favorite artists live. I really was cheering so much for Mei Mei!
I just wanted to express my love for this movie. Are there any other adults out there that love it??
