Welcome to Club Chalamet Submarinelily! I'll check out your review shortly. Can someone recommend high-quality reviews for me? esp. movie review with nic's books,I do think there're missing messages if the viewers don't read tweak,it's obvious nic's fourth relapse has something to do with his family issues,which also caused his early using of drugs.

We have posted major news media reviews of the film all throughout this thread. But surely we didn't capture them all. Unless someone else has a favorite review to share with you, your best bet is to just do a Google search.

" a book review from tweak the film is a double perspectives, the black hole theory in the film begins in 1 hour, the whole film is two hours, very clear two-section cutting. The camera cut to the point where he drove on the shoreline and began to enter his perspective, including flashbacks. The angle of view switching is also reflected in the background music. The lyrics of the previous hour are the voice of Dad, and the second half is describing the voice of nic. The second half of the film began to explain what nic's black hole is. nic recalls that his father remarried (the stepmother appeared like a intruder to make his father not belong to him completely). Family conflicts (his room became a warehouse,stepmother's disapproval, father's emotional neglect and distrust, father and stepmother's greenhouse care for younger siblings, the breakdown of original family VS dad's perfect family at high school graduation ceremonies, from bringing up black holes theory to fourth relapse, the film explained everything.

My friend David in NYC was lucky to get a ticket to the UN screening of Beautiful Boy on Wednesday. I look forward to reporting what he has to share, it should be quite interesting as this is a high security, and very select audience event.

The home visit triggered Nic's depression(he suffered from mental illness which David didn't know at that time),when Nic parted, he noticed that Nic was sad but did not act in time. nic was doing treatment with his mother, and he was sober for 485 days. However, it took only two days to relapse after the home visit. The film spent a lot of time brewing for the fourth relapse. This arrangement is not accidental.

here's some quotes from tweak and his second book.
The life they've provided the kids has always been so stable,Jasper and Daisy have lived in the same house their whole life.I envy them,I mean, of course I do. I can't have their lives,I have to build my own-something I have no idea how to do.
I'm not sure how much of it has to do with me,my dad and Karen have done everything they can to keep their children protected from all the sexuality and drugs I was exposed to.
I am still just try to fit in,I fell like a visitor-a guest. It hurts me.I want to be a part of their lives.I want to be accepted as one of them.
when nic talked about his feeling at high I didn't care anyone I didn't need to hold my family together I didn't need to rescue my mom from her abusive husband I didn't need to worry that my dad loved his new wife and children more than me.

relative deprivation (loss) is a psychology term , when people compare themselves with a standard or some reference and find themselves at a disadvantage, it produce a feeling of deprivation(loss), it will produce negative emotions, like anger, resentment,depression, low self-esteem, the simple example is a beggar would not envy millionaires but a beggar who has better income. Some people criticize nic,there are many children in the world who are more miserable than him, and many children have been exposed to poverty and crime, nic enjoys the superior material conditions, in their eyes. even in the eyes of his father, Nic is a beautiful boy who grew up in a beautiful environment, living in a beautiful house with a garden, being loved by his parents, including the stepmother and the children around him, but for nic, his reference is always Daisy and Jasper.

He suffered the above-mentioned relative deprivation on three levels. First, he liked stepmother and wanted to be loved by her. However, Karen's love for him and her love for his younger siblings could not be equal . Second, Daisy and Jasper. They have a sound and stable parent-child relationship and living the same house forever, but nic had to fly between the two cities, sacrificing social circle to enjoy the company of his father or mother. The love of his biological parents is always incomplete. Finally, I personally think that the most important point is that the father treated him and his younger siblings differently. It is more accurate to say that the father knows that he was wrong in educating nic, so he creatived a greenhouse(glass shied) for his siblings, with all-round protection and care, he learned lessons from nic, learned how to be a good father, nic seems to be a guinea pig. this is reflected in the lines of the dinner conflict, I was the amazing Thing, like your special creation or something, you don't like who I am now, I used to be a great work that you created, Now that it has failed, you don't like me. Nic detests himself and hates himself. He thinks that he is a father's failure because he is indulging in drugs. He feels that he is not loved and accepted by his father. David has two replacements, Jasper and Daisy (this worry is a fact), the father did not protect him well when he was young, but he took good care of his younger siblings with Karen. Nic compared himself to Jasper. Jasper kept the child’s innocence when he was 10 years old, playing Lego and doll figures with Daisy, but at the age of 12,nic had his first sexual experience, drinking alcohol and smoking marijuana. This difference made him feel strong injustice and grievances, as well as depression and inferiority caused by the psychological gap. His id,(aggressive desire, primitive desire) resents stepmother, envys his siblings, hates his father, but because of his "superego" (morality, conscience) and the love for his family, he can not open this resentment, Or vent any anger and dissatisfaction. When external venting channels are blocked, nic can only suppress and digest this kind of violence through internal friction, so he blames himself, self-attacks, self-abandonment, Thus, facing parents' expectations, nic must redouble his efforts to win the praise and love of his father and stepmother. After Dad's integration to his new life and family, nic became more and more aware that he is different and away from them. He often refers The dad's family as their home or their house. call stepmother as Karen, and the younger siblings as their children. He is an outsider and a visitor to this home. He was trying so hard to integrate into this family, he put on a mask,played a happy family game to make sure everyone happy,This day-to-day camouflage and disguise makes him feel guilty and tired. In the subconscious, he always wanted to escape from this situation. When he left home, the lyrics of the background describe his state of mind,(this stream isn't home no more,two extreme emotions make me abused )

I look forward to reporting what he has to share, it should be quite interesting as this is a high security, and very select audience event. The film dealt with "WHY" so obscure,maybe they wanna protect david and nic or something,I can't draw a conclusion,but I do think david made lots of almost irreparable mistakes to Nick.

I'v seen BB!!! At last. Not a perfect film, but I liked it very much. Sometimes it's too mopy for my taste, though it's necessary because of the subject. I loved most of the recalls, the past intertwisted with the present with all the feelings and vibes. It's a memoir, this is the way memoirs operates. And BB is outstanding at it. Timmy is perfect. Period.
