Lady Bird

“I just… I wish you liked me. Of course, I love you. But do you like me?” Lady Bird is a character I relate to in many ways. She is seem as someone weird or selfish when in reality shes just a teenager who wants to be accepted. Teenagers make a lot of mistakes, and somes mistakes can take to hurting other people, even your parents. By making those mistakes she gets the idea that her mom doesn’t like her and she asks her is she likes her which her mom replies with I love you, not giving her the answers she looked for. In the whole movie Lady Bird is looking for acceptance and not even her mom gives her that. Asking if someone likes you is not the same as being loved. Yes love is a feeling that is deeper than being liked. But being liked its what most of the people crave for, being liked is being accepted for who you are. Lying over her life just to make new friends and even disconnecting with her best friend its a current mistake. Teenagers are figuring out what to do with their lives. Yearning for acceptance and love which leads to hurting the people that loves us, this movie shows what a teenager goes through when they are trying to find themselves. Naming herself Lady Bird is a way Christine deals with finding herself in the transition from teen to adult. And finally in the end we see her finally call herself Christine. Showing that she found herself as an adult and finally she was accepted by the one person that truly mattered, herself.
