The first thought after watching this movie is: please don't give up the pursuit of a new life. Do my best to be myself. Each of us has our own different sky.

I especially like the part of Gilbert and his beloved girl Betsy at sunset and dusk. It looks very comfortable, everything is light and very long. It was precisely because he met Betsy that he felt his own existence and his own emotions. And Betsy is an angel. She tolerates her younger brother, comforts him, and accepts her mother. The whole person is shining and shining, and Gilbert can see a different side of life. Betsy is not just a new girl, but has renovated her life.

When I saw that Ani not only refused to take a bath, knocked over the first cake, but also secretly ate the second cake, I was actually quite twisted in my heart, thinking that this child was really bad, and it was too bad to look at!

At the end of the movie, a large fire burned down the house where their family had lived for so long, saying goodbye to the old life in the past. Since then, Ani has lived for the eighteenth year, and Gilbert has started a new life. May they breathe and smile freely under a different sky.

The whole movie is not so hysterical and sad, it's good~~
