      Having you in my life

      When I first watched it, I found it strange, "I miss him not because of his voice, not because he killed my mother." what's the situation? ? Then the next scene is particularly funny. A child came out after a sneeze, and other children could be seen in the cradle, as if he didn't exist. The doctor said he came over if he couldn't survive one night; the doctor said he came over again if he couldn't survive for three months; the doctor said...haha, he was a miracle. Unlike those boring novels...

      Think God

      After watching the movie, Simon's death added a touch of sadness to this somewhat warm movie!
         For some reason, watching this type of movie, I always feel that the departure of the protagonist is the end that should be there! Maybe the hero's ending should be like this!
         I always feel that it is not easy to maintain this kind of sincerity and an upward attitude in the gossip. Simon, a child born with a disability, was disliked by his parents. He missed and killed someone who could...

      The meaning of existence

      Have you asked yourself what is the meaning of existence? Strong people will say, in order to protect those who are weaker than me. Maybe everyone will say forget it, who can be so noble. But until you don't realize that you are weak, that is, who didn't dream of a hero when you were young. After adulthood, we, who have become stronger, feel that we are weaker and smaller and need to be protected by others, and become more insecure and inexistent. Why? Simon was originally defined as the...

      Have you all the way

      I think the title of the Chinese translation has something special. More company, more hope, more positive energy.

      Simon has a good friend of Joe, as well as the love given by Joe’s mother. It is Simon’s luck. Similarly, Simon is also lucky for Joe. Although an accident occurred and the relationship between the two was affected, their friendship and the heart for each other have been Beyond everything. Few people may be able to proactively promise to...

    Movie plot

    Simon has been so different from the day he was born, because he is so small, even smaller than a pair of little birds, which is a pity. The doctor predicted that he was in danger, but Simon survived miraculously, and grew up day by day, becoming a cute little boy. Because of this opportunity, Simon believes that this is a blessing bestowed on him by God, and believes that God will definitely give his life a special meaning and task.
