It's another Indian masterpiece. After reading it, I found out that the rating is 9.0. "The Lion" is mainly about narrative and memory. Later, I learned that this is a touching and tiring story that actually happened. After reading the library, part of the plot in the first paragraph seemed bland, and even a little boring. Living in a slum with his five-year-old brother and mother, the older brother and younger brother relied on smuggling coal trucks in exchange for the milk they wanted, and then got lost in the waiting room of the station. The place has gone through too much, almost got arrested, and even locked up, but fortunately met a couple from Australia, due to the compulsion of life, Salo was fostered in the home of the Australian couple, the couple It is considered a middle class and is very wealthy. At this turning point, Saro got a short life, a normal life, a prosperous life, and a leisurely life, but it was precisely because of leisure that Saro was upset and worried. In the distance, he is still looking for his brother and mother (later I learned that the night when Salo was lost on the train, he was killed by the train when he was looking for Salo) So he fell out with his girlfriend and was alone I insist on searching Google Maps to find my former home, my brother and my mother... After watching the whole movie, the most emotional thing is the great flesh and blood relationship and the love of the Australian couple... It's wonderful and wonderful ...Saro, lost for 26 years, reunited with her mother in her native place... Embrace and cry

    Sue Brierley: I could have had kids.

    Saroo Brierley: What?

    Sue Brierley: We chose not to have kids. We wanted the two of you. That's what we wanted. We wanted the two of you in our lives.That's what we chose.

    Sue Brierley: That's one of the reasons I fell in love with your dad.

    [pause]

    Sue Brierley: Because we both felt as if... the world has enough people in it. Have a child, couldn't guarantee it will make anything better. But to take a child that's suffering like you boys were. Give you a chance in the world. That's something.

  • Saroo Brierley: Do you have any idea what it's like knowing my real brother and mother spent every day of their lives looking for me? Huh? How every day my real brother screams my name? Can you imagine the pain they must be in not knowing where I am?
