Change starts bit by bit

After watching the movie, I kept thinking why did the little boy die? Wouldn't it be more perfect if it didn't die? But the self in my heart immediately added a sentence: Life is not perfect! And it is said that this is based on real people's stories, which strengthens my idea.
The cause of the little boy's death was because he wanted to help the classmate who was beaten, even though he was not strong enough to help. This might be confusing? Why do you want to help others but end up hurting yourself? In fact, we are told in the middle of the story that at that time, the little boy also saw his classmates being beaten, but he was helpless and frustrated. At this time, the teacher told him that help was within his power. Maybe it was because he had just been interviewed and was excited, or maybe because the little boy believed that he could help that classmate this time, so he chose to rush out. As a result, everyone is embarrassed. Violence can always threaten the original kindness, so more kind-hearted people choose violence.
During the interview, the little boy kept saying that his actions were a failure. But he did not expect that this event has actually spread far. It made me realize that maybe things fail in the beginning, but as long as you do it, maybe it has succeeded, but the time to success is slow. Change starts from the accumulation of bit by bit, a very old saying, but it is like this. It is a pity that the little boy did not see the changes produced by his efforts, and the love really spread in front of everyone. Maybe not all, maybe there is a dark side to the people who spread it, but at the moment of the spread, everything is bright. Human nature is inherently complex, and if we can’t do every moment to be the ultimate goodness now, why don’t we allow goodness to exist in a certain moment of our lives?
There are laughs and tears in the film, and although the ending is a bit unexpected, it is equally thought-provoking. Love needs us to spread, unfortunate people need everyone to lend a hand, even if you can't help all, but at least you can change others a little bit. But what we need to be alert to is that not everyone can see your love, and you may be hurt, so learn to protect yourself and help others within your power.
Our society needs people who are willing to show goodwill like this, and everyone should. While helping others, you will also change your heart and purify your pedantic and selfish soul. At the same time, I hope that I will not be a hypocritical person. Help comes from the heart. If it is only a task or a form, then this help is not helpful, because the person being helped does not receive the love from the implementer, then there is no need to help. meaningful.

  • Eugene: I know what I'm talking about, Arlene! My father got down on his knees and begged my mother. And my mother,s he always took him back. I never understood it. she'd cover up the bruises and the cuts and she'd take him back. Because he begged and he cried. And now you ask me, you ask me what happened after he came back.

    Arley: I...

    Eugene: No! Go on! You said you wanted to know what happened to me, now ask me!

    Arley: I don't like this...

    Eugene: Did he hurt you, Eugene? Ask me!

    Arley: Did he hurt you?

    Eugene: [shakes his head] Not for long. By 13 I was gone. i ran away. But I missed her so... I had to go back and see her. So one night I did. Now, ask me what happened. What happened that night you came back, Eugene?

    Arley: What happened?

    Eugene: He was there. Drunk. As usual. Only this time I wasn't the same. I was 16 years old and I was no longer afraid of him. And when I looked him in the eyes and told him if he ever touched her again I would kill him, he knew. He knew that he would never exist for me again. And I'm standing in front of the house. I'm yelling, screaming for her to come out. I'm telling her she doesn't have to take it anymore. She really doesn't. She can come with me now. I don't even see it. He hits me in the side of the head with a two-by-four and I'm bleeding from my ear. And then he's dragging me. He's dragging me behind the house into the garage. And then he's gone. A minute... five minutes... I don't know. And then he's back. And he's wetting me down. He's wetting me down and I don't understand. I don't understand why water... should smell so bad. I don't understand. And then I see it. I see... this... this gas can. This red gas can from his truck.

    [Crying]

    Eugene: And he looks at me one last time... and he lights a match. And the last thing I remember, I'll never forget it, were his eyes. His eyes because they were filled with this immense... satisfaction.

    Arley: [Crying] I'm so sorry...

    Eugene: Don't! Don't! Don't tell me how sorry you are for me! Tell me how you're going to stop that happening to Trevor!

    Arley: Ricky would never do that!

    Eugene: Oh, Jesus, Arlene! He doesn't have to. All he has to do is not love him.
