      hope is a good thing, and the best thing.

      Sleepless in the middle of the night, with a piece of chocolate, drinking boiled water. I feel sorry for not writing something about this movie.

      Central Station, I used what Andy said to RED in "The Shawshank Redemption" for the title. "Remember that, Red, hope is a good thing, and the best thing."...

      Jesus didn't go

      If it wasn't for a film and television appreciation class, I wouldn't write a 1500-word film review. In fact, I have always wanted to write a little film review, but the university life is too busy, making people unable to write quietly, so called impetuous. Also take this opportunity to calm down...

    Central Station short comments

    • Eileen 2022-03-25 09:01:15

      Maybe the stories outside the movie moved me more. Like "Why Home", the little male protagonist changed his life through movies. Kindness made him only tell the truth when he was begging at the station, kindness made him call all the shoe boys when he auditioned for the film. His kindness does not need to be tested.

      Where is my friend's home? Where is my soul's home? In the Central Station of life, those people who love you, resent you, hate you, and miss you will eventually accompany you for a certain distance. Don't forget them, remember to miss them. If Ise sees me, ask me with sound; it is a man who is doing evil ways and cannot see the Tathagata. All actions are like dreams and bubbles; if dew is like electricity, you should observe it in the same way. The soothing and progressive plot shatters people's hearts.
