nothing is invincible

The first movie I started to write was "Return to Earth". Although the Tomato score was relatively low, I was still attracted by a few bright spots in the movie.

Kindness is a big selling point of this movie. The family love in the movie is not only the love between father and son, but also the love between siblings. Maternal love may be beneficial to humans and animals. Let's talk about the father-son relationship first: on the surface Kit is estranged from his father, but we can all see how much Kit wants to get his father's approval. In real life, the father may always be the one who hides his feelings, and the recognition is always implicit. The father didn't know where to speak, and they didn't even know how to speak. Maybe it had something to do with their men's direct thinking. What impresses me most in the movie is the military salute given by the broken-legged soldier to the general at the beginning, and the military salute given by the father to his son at the end. It can be seen that these two military salutes contain gratitude. The general's salute at the beginning is no thanks, and the military salute of the lieutenant general at the end is thank you, plus the son "you are great"!

The brother-in-law relationship in the movie, when the elder sister saw the monster attack, she did not hesitate to protect her younger brother! I am also a sister. When I saw this moment, I was very moved. If this happened to me, I would not hesitate. I remember when I was a kid, I went out to play with my younger brother. I was bombed by firecrackers. My first reaction was to find my younger brother. In fact, this is also a kind of responsibility. But this responsibility can sometimes become a bondage, and the bondage of the younger brother in the movie comes from the responsibility of the older sister. When the younger brother saw his sister's death, he felt guilty for his cowardice. The younger brother was afraid of monsters and feared himself! Hence the outburst at the waterfall and that leap.

Another touching thing is the eagle. It originally took Kit back to its nest to feed its children. When the tiger and leopard attacked, Kit killed two tigers and leopards out of self-protection. Eagle's children all died in this defense battle, and Eagle was in grief. In the next scene, Kit continues to move forward, the eagle is always circling above his head, my first feeling is that the eagle is repaying his gratitude, but when the eagle is protecting the boy under his wings, at this time I feel that the eagle treats the boy as a boy Your own child, the eagle protects his "child" with his own life! The eagle has no regrets, it protects its "children" and makes up for the grief of losing a child.
Everyone can see that the film also tells the story of the boy's courage from scratch! Yes, what we fear is ourselves. When we get down on one knee and can find our sight, hearing, and smell, we have nothing to fear, the monsters can't find us, we are no longer confused, and we see what resistance is. What is fear, we start to be invincible! Every time I walk through a busy intersection, I think about where they are rushing to, what are they thinking at this time, what do they want in their hearts, are they confused? If time can stand still at that moment, I would love to walk over to see their eyes, whether they are clean or cloudy...
