After watching "The Lion", I was deeply moved by the great maternal love of the two mothers. In the film, Salo's biological mother lives alone with her three children. Although the life is very difficult, she also has the little happiness in life. In order to make a living, the skinny mother had to do hard work such as moving stones, but she did not complain, did not fall down, and did not give up her child. With her strong will to life, she is an ordinary but extraordinary mother. In life, we are often moved by such maternal images. In this world, there are countless mothers like Salo's biological mother. They survived strong in the quagmire of the bottom of society. They are no longer women, but superhumans. I remember in a news report of an earthquake, a young mother curled her body into a ball to protect her infant child, tightly protecting the baby, and exchanged her own life for the child's hope of survival. In the face of disasters, mothers always rush in front of their children and protect their children, even if they lose their lives. Salo is undoubtedly lucky. He has a biological mother who loves him. After he lost, he met a kind and selfless adoptive mother. Salo's adoptive mother said, "There are enough people in the world. Having one more child does not guarantee a better world, but adopting a child like you gives you the opportunity to integrate into the world is more meaningful." This sentence, It touched me a lot. Maternal love is no longer limited to blood relations. It is a love that does not ask for anything in return and does not add any conditions. Let the loved one have no burden. The adoptive mother played by Nicole Kidman not only has the great brilliance of human nature, but more importantly, a selfless maternal love. This kind of maternal love transcends blood and race. She sympathizes with every child in distress, but she is not a god, and her ability is limited. What she can do is to choose to love a child she can help. I have to admit that in life, such maternal love is rare, and perhaps it is precisely because of its rarity that this emotion and this love shine so brightly. The movie is named "The Lion" because the male protagonist's real name is the male lion. Of course, it also implies that the male protagonist has gone through hardships and is still searching unremittingly, growing from a little boy to a strong and brave man. In my understanding, the lion is not only a symbol of the male protagonist, but also a symbol of Salo's biological and adoptive mother, and a symbol of maternal love. The power of a mother's love is as tenacious and tenacious as a lion.
