Mary is a sad child. There is an indifferent father who is busy with his taxidermy hobbies all day long; there is a mother of low quality who steals things, ignores her, drinks too much... no fatherly love, no motherly love, no friends. Some are just the slightly ridiculous pet chicken, her favorite cartoons, condensed milk and chocolate. When I saw her asking Max what to do when she was bullied, the film described her life in a very real and delicate way. The bad boy slapped her sandwiches and scolded her badly, while the mother comically put a bright "smiley" on her mouth. I cried and suddenly felt very sad and sad, for her hard days, for her poor little girl.
max is an unfortunate middle-aged man. He has no parents since he was a child, and his IQ is slightly lower than ordinary people. But he was a good man, a very transparent, very simple good man. He will take in stray cats who have been blinded, he will pick up cigarette butts thrown by others, and he will be very angry at some immoral "little things" that others do. In the eyes of many people, he is abnormal. But in his eyes, how can we be normal? In that bustling city, there are too many people who ignore the rules of life, laugh at other people's lives, trample justice under their feet in exchange for positions of power. In such a society, yes, he is indeed abnormal. His stupidity and stupidity are distressing and heartfelt humble.
One thing they have in common is loneliness and no friends. Fortunately, they became friends. the best friend and the only friend. All they need is a little warmth, a little, a little. The world can't give it, but fortunately, they have each other. The weird uncle and the weird little girl share the same world.
They can't say any big reason, every letter is so simple, so naive, but so touching. Because this is their life, and only they know it.
Mary has changed, she has become beautiful, she has become more confident, she has her own family and career, and she has also become a member of this world, a world that did not belong to her and max.
Max is angry, maybe he doesn't know why he is angry, he doesn't even know if he is angry. He just wanted to live his usual life in peace and didn't want to be broken. What a humble wish, but it was broken by the former partner.
Betrayal, such a serious word.
She understood, but was confused again. What is she looking for, what does she want? The so-called love left her. She was back to her worthless self. What saved her was the character model in a box of Max's cartoons.
They comfort each other and redeem each other. I can't imagine how they would have spent these decades without each other.
The ending is also surprisingly concise. No grandstanding meetings, hugs, words of gratitude and the like.
He passed away peacefully, just as he once lived peacefully in this world. And the only memory he left behind was the letters that covered the wall.
They are all small people, and even have a lower sense of existence than ordinary people. But it brings warmth and beauty to the world, even if it's just a small candle, it warms people's hearts.
