growing up is always so expensive

The reason why a person's life is so precious is precisely because there is so much added value in it. A parting, for Oscar, is not only an emotional change, but also a transformation of growth.

The eight minutes of "Hope", which Oscar believes in, is what sustains the motivation he has been looking for. When he kept searching and listening to the lives of others, he realized that what he was really looking for was not the existence of his father, but the self-blame of not being able to pick up the phone, the confusion of not being able to understand death, the sadness of not being able to express emotions , is the heart that is closed by itself.

From the beginning of his experience of parting and being unable to tell his grandma, to discovering his grandfather and choosing to narrate the experience, to knowing the truth and frankly telling the secret to the owner of the key, and understanding his mother's love, on this road where hope is gradually fading, the shackles in his heart The lock is also gradually breaking. The last letter to all of Blake, and the note he found Dad from under the swing, completes this conversation across the other side, a sign that he truly understands his feelings, and a sign that he grows up.

Everyone's life will experience life and death parting, and learning to get used to it is growth.

  • Oskar Schell: It's just a box! An empty box!

    Linda Schell: I know it's an empty box! I know this. But I did it for me, and I did it for you so we can at least try and say goodbye to him. Because he's gone, Oskar, he's gone and he's not coming back. Never. I don't know why a man flew a plane into a building. I don't know why my husband is dead. But no matter how hard you try, Oskar, it's never gonna make sense because it doesn't. It doesn't... make... sense!

    Oskar Schell: Fukozowa you! You don't know anything!

  • [first lines]

    Oskar Schell: There are more people alive now than have died in all of human history, but the number of dead people is increasing. One day, there isn't going to be any room to bury anyone anymore. So, what about skyscrapers for dead people, that are built down. They could be underneath the skyscrapers for living people, that are built up. We could bury people 100 floors down. And a whole dead world could be underneath the living one.
