Cherish

The first time I watched this movie was played by a foreign teacher during my freshman year, but because of time, it was only halfway through and ended in a hurry. The deepest feeling is the kind of atmosphere in which the old and the young communicate with each other, equal and full of love. The old man sits on the sofa drinking, the young man walks freely with a basketball in his hand, reading the book carelessly, flipping through this and that. Both are very free and casual, which touches me very much. Sometimes when visiting relatives’ homes, the relatives’ politeness makes me feel pressured, and I feel guilty if I feel dissatisfied. I don't know why this is, but the natural atmosphere, the relaxed atmosphere with no restrictions and no requirements attracts me the most.
After four years, I have forgotten the name of this movie. One day, I stumbled across the poster of this movie and realized that the movie was originally called the Mind Visitor. Relived this movie and watched it all. The plot in the second half of the movie is a bit old-fashioned. It is written that the young man encountered difficulties and had conflicts with the old man. In the end, he shed his suspicion and helped each other through the difficult time together. Although there is nothing new in the plot, as in the past, what moved me was still the feeling of communication of a teenager, the state of non-pretentious, unappropriate, and natural communication. In the face of the teacher's unprovoked accusations, he did not lower his voice and discuss with the old man. Writing, respectful and self-assertive, they are equal and free. You have the freedom to make your own choice. I will not interfere with you. Similarly, you have not restricted my right to control me. The two appreciate and respect each other. And
you have the right not to like me
Boys and girls, they talked about their own ideas, they don't have to please, it's very direct and natural. This kind of unanticipated or unexpected is very free. This kind of relaxed feeling is not a feeling that can only be achieved after a lot of jokes. Just like the deliberate funnyness of some New Year films, it makes people feel boring and depressing. Because of this relaxed feeling, you can hate me and say that I am a weirdo and dislike me. This is your freedom. I don’t ask you to like me, because my values ​​do not depend on what you treat me. Like degree. I have my own value. No matter if others are affirmed or not, I know that I have my own value. I have my advantages. I work hard to learn writing and I work hard to play basketball. This is my inherent advantage. Give full play to your own advantages to highlight your own value. Everyone has his own voice, his own soul, and his own soul's monologue. Therefore, everyone is different. The value of self does not depend on how others think of you. The value of self depends on the excavation of one's own potential.
The value of friendship lies in mutual appreciation on the basis of equality.
