a few heartbeats

1. My father bought the zoo. In China, you can't imagine using all your property to do something with unknown benefits. The father is not all for his children, this change is his own redemption

2. Regarding Dylan, he is not good at communication, seeing strangers with twinkling eyes, no enthusiasm and no smile, except for being handsome, he seems to be nothing but handsome, but I think he is the best. The real one is also the character closest to the Chinese. His later redemption for himself also made me see the possibility of our change. No longer indifferent and no longer dark. Of course, in the sentence passed down by father and son, courage only takes 20s, stunning. In addition, the advent of youthful love is the reason for his change. The person I love is also taller than me, which is so inspiring to me. . . .

3. When the protagonist was on the verge of bankruptcy, when everyone betrayed his relatives and separated, he found the legacy of his deceased wife, and the phrase "use the money wisely while listening to his heart" was so touching, she gave the protagonist the courage to oppose his brother. Whether successful or not, the purpose of the protagonist's redemption has been completed.

4. In the end, I think it is the finishing touch of this movie. Benjamin Mee finally overcomes his inner demon, no longer escapes, and more directly faces the memory of his dead wife. He even tells his children everything. I can only attribute this change to the confidence after success and the feeling of finding love again.

Heartbeat
Benjamin: Why would such a beautiful woman like you ever talk to a man like me?
Catherine: Why not?

You know, sometimes all you need is 20 seconds of insane courage. Just literally 20 seconds of just embarrassing bravery. And I promise you, something great will come of it.” - Benjamin Mee
