Lady Bird
that part when she asks her mom if she likes her and her mom says "of course I love you" and she says "yeah but do you like me" and her mom just looks at her and then says "i... just want you to be the best version of yourself that you can be" and lady bird says "what if this is the best version of myself?" and her mom just looks at her..
it stings my heart.
“love and attention”
relates with the relationship w her mother.. where ladybird pays attention so much that it become the way she expresses love. the way she pinpoints everything about her (her actions, how she speaks, how she advices) ultimately making it a different way to show her love. i think the quote isn't just saying love and paying attention but offering your attention to those small things no one else can see is love. then you see how little attention people give ladybird in her life throughout the movie..
