"What if this is the BEST VERSION?"

After being re-recommended to me by a different person, eto na pinanood ko na tlga. So here it goes..

A coming of age story which centralizes Saoirse Ronan's "Lady Bird." Independent as she is, she has to face life or as we know it, "growing up" but with her personality, it was more challenging. She has had a challenging life with her mother who she always disagrees with but deep down, they just have the same characteristics and strong personalities. In the end, love still conquered that (although would have loved to see a scene of her with her family after she accepted her true self).

This film reminds me that all of us will grow up, get old and face challenges in our lives but it'll always be in different ways, different types of lives we live in. Some of us get to go to the university we want to, some of us were just lucky enough to get to college while some have to work and sacrifice their school to continue life (and more scenarios). Despite being different, "Lady Bird" is a reminder that being different isn't a bad thing. We are all unique and lovely as who we are. We have pir differences but our "weirdness" and "uniqueness" makes us who we are. Just because we are different, doesn't mean we don't have a chance to prove ourselves to the world.

It is hard to be the best version if your focus is misleading. But no matter what happens, there will always be people who believe in you and know that you can always be the BEST VERSION of yourself.

"I want you to be the very best version of yourself that you can be."

Lady Bird is a 7/10 for me. In a rewatch, it'll probably get higher as I see this film is better if it is watched more than once.
