Luck does not accompany a person's life

"The Lion" There are not many Indian films I have seen in India, but every one I watch hits the heart, from the first "My God" about faith and kindness, to "Wrestling Dad" about fatherhood The tribute to love and perseverance, as well as the recent viewings of Star From Earth and The Lion, are equally impressive, and sure enough, since Japan's decline, Indian cinema has also taken off. "The Lion" tells the story of a poor child in a remote area who gets lost accidentally, ends up experiencing a lot of pain, is adopted by an Australian family, and then takes a very different path, but as he grows older, he misses his family. Increasingly, the boy finally went through pain and found his long-lost home according to Google Maps, the ending. This Google placement ad is the most natural one I've ever seen. Of course, maybe this is also the home that the male protagonist really found through Google Maps. In this way, he has to make a crazy call for Google Maps. But not every lost boy will be as lucky as the male protagonist, some starved to death, some were kidnapped and so on. The adoption of the male lead family is an example. The second boy they adopted, after experiencing a lot of hardships, is very sensitive and has a violent mood. At the same time, there is also the greatness of the adoptive parents' family. We have always thought that they are infertile. As a result, they are not unable, but unwilling. What my mother said: We can't guarantee that having one more child will be good for the world. But we adopted you and gave you a new option that could make the world a better place. This kind of realm and thinking is really not something that ordinary people can compare with. I feel sorry for the children in India. The extreme poverty makes their lives very difficult. Just eating enough is a very big problem. Therefore, their children are more independent, more autonomous, and more distressing. Hopefully one day, they will be free from the pain caused by starvation.

    The soundtrack is good, the little actors are good, and the first half is good. Others are not very good, moving and failing. I Rooney played a super cute bad character, I feel bad.

    The neat composition of the rule of thirds throughout the text; flashbacks of memory correspond to real scenes, bridges, mountains, water, trains, the editing is calm and majestic; the story of finding the roots is very simple, there are many tears, and two emotional lines are looking for a lost mother Only in the process of experiencing the real "mother"'s love. Dev played a similar role to slumdog millionaire, and perhaps he himself has always been eager to explore that land.

Lion quotes

  • Saroo Brierley: I'm sorry you couldn't have your own kids.

    Sue Brierley: What are you saying?

    Saroo Brierley: We... we... weren't blank pages, were we? Like your own would have been. You weren't just adopting us but our past as well. I feel like we're killing you.

    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.

    [pause]

    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?
