Life is an adventure

A lot of movies I've watched recently have left a deep impression on me. Some of the classic clips in the movies always make me reminisce over and over again. In "Ten Things I Hate About You", Heath Ledger sang "Can't take my eyes off" on the steps of the playground You" confessed, Billy's father saw Billy on the stage at the end of "Billy Elliot" and shed tears, and Dylan confessed to Lily in the rain in "My Family Bought a Zoo", all these beautiful scenes always make me can't help but watch again and again , and constantly reminisce about the warmth it brings to me.

I have always liked Hollywood's warm and inspirational movies. Maybe some people think that this kind of routine is very cliché or even more hypocritical, but I can feel a different power from this inspirational warmth every time. Like a bowl of chicken soup for the soul in the bland and trivial daily life, after drinking it, you will feel refreshed and feel very comfortable.

Matt Damon in ZOO became a fat middle-aged uncle. After his wife passed away, he lived alone with his young daughter and son who had just entered puberty. Happiness made Benjamin, who wanted to move, buy a zoo that was about to be abandoned, and from then on he brought himself a new career and a new life.

The film begins by saying that Benjamin is an adventurous person, but nothing has been as crazy as this one. In the film Benjamin tells his son: Sometimes all you need is 20 seconds of insane courage. With these 20 seconds of courage, everything will be different. Our life is because of the fear of the wolf before and the tiger at the critical moment, which makes us a coward, so that we dare not pursue what we want and The person I like, the pure American spirit in the film, frankness, freedom, and daring to take risks can't help but make me feel that sometimes the so-called cautious and inadvertently make people miss a lot of things that they could have.

I especially want to talk about Benjamin's son Dylan. It is undeniable that he attracted my attention at first because this little lady is so handsome. When Elle Fanning appeared, I immediately thought they were a good match. Dylan's seemingly absurd, bizarre and colorless pictures attracted me to explore his inner world. Unfortunately, after the school teacher told Benjamin to try to understand his son's inner world, Benjamin didn't do it right away, but arranged for Dylan a girl to complete this task, Dylan began to like Llly, it should be from the first time she saw his drawing and said: I like your drawing; from the sandwich at 4:15 every afternoon, from the colorful and cute drawing The sun, the note that said "hey Dylan" made him smile, and his world without color was warmed up by this girl who smiled as bright as the sun.

In fact, all these strange-looking children need is a pair of listening ears, just like the sentence Scarlett Johansson said in the film: The secret to talking is listening. Parents are always too busy to take care of their children's inner thoughts. What, in fact, a heart that wants to explore and a pair of ears that are willing to listen will let you discover that their inner world is more alive than you imagined. The film does not describe the line between Dylan and Lily too much, nor does it explain Dylan's heart. I always feel that he is a delicate and talented little boy, but a little lack of self-confidence makes him dare not face it bravely. The girl he likes, his "20 seconds of courage" in the rain at the end and the scene where Lily was moved to tears was enough to move many viewers. PS: This girl Elle Fanning is really prettier than her sister

. Scarlett Johansson and Matt Damon really don't have any sparks. You don't have to put him together. The Kiss at the end is inexplicable and has no feeling at all.

Life itself is an adventure, sometimes insane courage will let us see the unexpected beauty in life, all the adventures may not be rewarded, but at least there is no regret.
