1/2 magic - half spell, half affection

Taking the father-son relationship as a guide, on the way to pursue the reunion of father and son, the real theme of the film - brotherhood, gradually surfaced unconsciously. The younger brother's growth history is a bright line, and the elder brother's growth history is a dark line. The bright line seems to be dazzling, but I feel that my brother has grown from a little boy who did not dare to say goodbye to his seriously ill father to a brave, determined and fearless man. Guardian of the family, this transformation impresses me even more. This experience may seem ordinary, but it is very easy to resonate. The love, encouragement, support and tolerance shown by the elder brother to the younger brother from beginning to end are sincere and touching, and the younger brother's final understanding of the elder brother and the awakening of family affection are gratifying. There are two points of tenderness in the heart of the whole film: one is when my brother started his beloved car to hit a rock, the kind of decision of ordinary people to give up their loved ones for the sake of family is enough to make people cry. The other is that the younger brother gave the older brother the opportunity to see his father. The love between father and son and brotherhood are intertwined at this moment, just like the phoenix stone, bursting out the most dazzling and warm light. Magic coat, warm setting, sincere feelings. Tell the most ordinary stories in the gorgeous, and reveal the most sincere feelings in the ordinary.
