There is so one you, there is so one me

The first thing that attracted me to the movie was seeing the voice acting of eric bana and little sunshine. Before watching this movie, I just watched "Sister's Guardian", where Little Sunshine loves to play an eleven-year-old girl. "Sister's Guardian" is adapted from the novel of the same name. Although the clues and endings of the story have changed, as a relatively complete story, with the music and the expressions of the characters, the movie is more moving than the book. What I didn't expect was that the "mary and max" I went home to watch at night was another tear-jerking movie.
Movies based on true stories often go beyond fictional plots. Perhaps the fictional plot is more ethereal and surprising, but the story of life itself is always richer than people's imagination. Chatting with friends, every family member and ordinary family member has their own story, which is a heavy book, not to mention those people who are legendary and "full of cracks". In April last year, my mood was extremely abnormal, and the phenomenon of auditory hallucinations appeared. My friend took me to the Botanical Garden to relax. Sitting on a chair by the path, she told me stories about her uncles. What impressed me was a young uncle who was very intelligent since childhood. He passed the test all the way to get the top spot in their city, but was told that he had a congenital heart defect and could not be admitted. After that, he was recruited by the local normal school and worked as a middle school math teacher for the rest of his life. His talent is only reflected at the poker table, and he can always accurately calculate other people's cards. The money received at the poker table is higher than the salary, but he is not happy. Now in his late fifties, the so-called congenital heart defect didn't affect his health, but it did affect his life. I don't know if it's a trick or a man-made one, but those who are physically or psychologically flawed are more likely to be moved.
There is also a friend in Wuhu. Since childhood poliomyelitis, the boyfriend who had been in love with in high school disappeared without a trace after graduating from college, not even a word. She waited for seven years, but only heard the news that the man brought his wife and son back to his hometown to visit relatives. Her legs are disabled, but her sanity is beyond ordinary people. Started working in the school library and found that the salary was not enough to charge the wheelchair. So I took out my professionalism and contacted the shipping business myself. After a few years, I accumulated my wealth with credit and sense of responsibility. After buying a house, the family asks to write their name on the property right, but she refuses, and no one cares about the decoration of the home. Sometimes, the family may not fully consider you. What she desires most is to have a love, and if it is extravagant, it would be better to have a child, but her family is obstructing it, probably thinking that she will die alone, and the future property will belong to them.
Mary had a birthmark on her forehead, which became a source of ridicule. An accidental letter was magically sent to Max who also needed a friend. Hongyan passed on the book, and the two people, one old and one young, finally talked to each other. Therefore, there are still many miracles happening in the world - even if we see too many miscellaneous things that are not beautiful, we still have to believe in miracles, those miracles that can bring good things. Max's autism, two friends around him have it, but it's not as serious as Max's. Or maybe they're not autistic, just general social phobia, they can't talk with a third person, they're short of breath, and they even throw up. Therefore, those who are autistic really need a friend who can "trust". The twists and turns, Mary grew up, and the appearance of that book made Max understand betrayal. It is an ancient Chinese practice to cut off the seat and the sleeves. In a hurry, Max pulled out a part of the typewriter and sent it to Mary. Mary has since sunk into deep guilt. She probably felt sorry for the max who trusted her the most.
One more word, Mary first described the Greek man downstairs, using "his face is smoother than **", I knew that the buddy must be gay. As a result, her husband went to New Zealand's pen pal desmond, and Mary fell into despair. The music when I tried to commit suicide, repeating "Que Sera Sera" constantly, the scenes of life appeared before my eyes, as if the next day. The old neighbor finally overcame Plaza Syndrome and homophobia, got out and saved his old neighbor's life. A year later, Mary brought her baby to visit Max, who had died peacefully on his couch. Seeing the letters on the wall and seeing the two lines of clear tears in Mary's eyes, my heart was only moved. At that time, he went downstairs and said to Xiaoxiong, there is a movie you must watch here.
Max said that each of us will have our own trajectory, and I don't know if there will be an intersection. Maybe they didn't see each other when they were alive, Max's anxiety might flare up, but it's not as good as this. If they meet in heaven, they can also be in charge of chocolate together. The father, mother, husband and Max's neighbor in the movie have distinct personalities, their own cuteness, and their extremely three-dimensional characters. The grasp of the details also adds a lot of fun to the film. For example, the friend in Max's fantasy reads a different book every time he sits in the corner. They are some book titles that match the plot, hinting and encouraging themselves. of.
There is no one person in the world that is completely alone. If there is a you, there will be a me. Just reach out and maybe get a hug.

Mary and Max quotes

  • Max Jerry Horovitz: Butts are bad because they wash out to sea, and fish smoke them and become nicotine-dependent. I am just joking, because of course it is impossible for a cigarette to remain lit underwater. Also, fish do not have pockets to keep cigarette lighters in.

  • Max Jerry Horovitz: [to Mary] Have you ever been a communist? Have you ever been attacked by a crow or similar large bird?
