The children who are learning and growing up in these orphanages are pitiful. They are the products of war, and they have experienced the evils of war. While the children around us are happily growing up in the sun, they must live by a bomb. The bomb had a heartbeat, was alive, and didn't explode just because it fell on the dirt in the rain. It may take the lives of children at any time. But it was not the bomb that took the lives of most of the children, and it did not explode in the end, but the people who had twisted their hearts in the war.
The hero number one, what I admire most is his bravery. When you firmly believe that you have no sin, especially when you are a child, you will not be afraid of ghosts. When he first arrived, he was bullied, but he soon merged with the group. The friends like to tease it and make him punished, but he is not willing to tell the child who got out of bed with him in the middle of the night. At first he was scared when he saw the ghost boy, but after knowing the inside story, his little heart decided to try his best to help the ghost boy and get rid of the wicked. I admire his kindness.
The male lead number two is a person who has seen sin with his own eyes, which makes him different from other children. In the group, he is older, domineering, and feared by some children. But when everyone was in trouble, he did a good job of commanding, and finally defeated the wicked with the wisdom and strength of the children. At the end of the film, he led the few children who did not die in the disaster, left the orphanage, and ran to the golden desert and unknown world.
But I cannot help worrying about the fate of these children. The film does not introduce their final destination. There is a day's distance from the orphanage to the small town. Even if they reach the small town through the desert, they may not be immune to becoming a grain of sand on the battlefield. Even if they escaped the massacre, the experience of their early life may affect them for the rest of their lives. Their lives were destined to be unfortunate from the beginning. My heart aches every time I think of this. It will always be the child who suffers the most in the war.
