Your sky has a gray face

The movie "A Different Sky" was originally called What's Eating Gilbert Grape. The original name has a feeling of exploration, and it is not as broad and comfortable as the Chinese translation. The sky above Gilbert's head was so different. Your sky may have a gray face, your sky may have a blue moon.

Johnny Depp in 1993, the gentleness in his eyes is so clear, the spots on the skin are looming, and the whole body exudes the temperament of a beautiful boy. The film tells things little by little, without artificial exaggeration or sympathy-winning rendering. Slowly found that the mood dimmed with the rhythm of the movie. The unbearable pressure in the family, but also reveals the deep and inseparable affection. The contradiction between freedom and responsibility is becoming more and more obvious. A lovely and beautiful girlfriend like sunshine, a loving younger brother, and a self-abandoned mother. Slowly the ending began to unfold, the mother died, buried her in a special way, and flew away with her younger brother. What I don't like about the ending is that it looks like the real burden from the beginning to now is the mother's presence, a seemingly good ending, but hopelessly crazy stupid brother can find freedom with Gilbert under another sky ?

Leonardo in 1993, like a kitten with chocolate sauce on the corner of his mouth. He probably didn't know that in four or five years, he would be popular all over the world, including the eight or nine-year-old me in the frontier of China, who was deeply infatuated with him. The family sat in front of the TV and watched his tragic story at sea on a rented videotape of inferior quality. Then more than ten years later, I was again moved by his youthful appearance.

I can't forget the light when he struck a match. A fire to end the life under this sky.
