misunderstanding

At the end of watching this movie, although the long melancholy was diluted by the relief at the end of the movie, I couldn't help but say "pity" for the dead child.

In fact, the mother had many opportunities to save her adopted son, but because of her stupidity and inability to understand her adopted son's mind, she became the culprit of indirectly killing her adopted son. This is a paradox of "maternal love": when a mother loves her child, she only has "action love" in the usual sense, not "heart love". The mother in the movie paid a heavy price for this. Surrounded by her childhood friends, she rediscovered another layer of "motherhood".

The old woman who was hit by a car and her deformed child complicates the suspense very well, when the blind little girl touches the heroine at the end of the movie and says, "This is Larry who grew up (that name seems That's how I read...)", I was also very moved. The road of understanding between adults and children is always tortuous, but as long as you are patient, careful and sincere, it is actually not that difficult.

The Orphanage quotes

  • Simón: [while reading Peter Pan] Wendy grows old and dies?

    Laura: Wendy grows old, but Peter Pan takes her daughter to Neverland every year.

    Simón: Why doesn't Wendy go, too? If Peter Pan came to get me, would you come, too?

    Laura: No. I'm too old to go to Neverland, darling.

    Simón: How old are you?

    Laura: Thirty-seven.

    Simón: At what age will you die?

    Laura: What sort of question is that? Not for a long time, until you're very old.

    Simón: I won't grow old. I'm not going to grow up.

    Laura: Will you be like Peter Pan?

    Simón: Like my new friends.

    Laura: There's more than one?

    Simón: Six.

    Laura: They won't grow up either?

    Simón: They can't.

  • Aurora: Seeing is not believing. It's the other way around. Believe, and you will see.
