good piece

This film is about remembering, about finding, about growing up, about love. It was the son who buried the memories in the top of the closet, it was the mother and son who leaned down against the door and whispered I love you, it was Dr. Blake who hugged with tears in his eyes, it was the YES and NO of grandpa's left and right hands, and it was left on the recording phone. "Are you there?" shouted six times. It was the mother who silently went to every place her son was going to visit. It was the mother's relief when she sat on the sofa and saw her son arrive home safely. It was the father's eternal confession to his mother in the last call of his life. "I love you" is the last card left at the base of the swing, the last page of the book, and the person who fell into the World Trade Center is reborn. For lost people, we look for, some can be found, like the Black couple, like grandpa and grandma, and some people once lost, it will be forever, on the ground and underground, only his voice can be vaguely heard on the recording phone. In the shadow of the sun, I saw his figure vaguely, and relived his existence in the rippling swing. In this way, how will we find, so we learn to cherish, learn to express, express love, express concern, express miss.
It's been a while since I've seen this movie, but I should still post what I wrote at the time to leave that unforgettable viewing experience.

    From halfway on, I cried like a fool, all with tears. Every character is very cute. In fact, there are also some rebellious little boys who lead the audience to unravel the mystery step by step. The sixth message, what is it? Who owns the key? What kind of treasure is hidden in the map left by my father? A lot of love, say it or not, it is very close and very warm. We all sobbed in the auditorium, we all love New York so deeply.

    The original work is so ingenious that so is the movie. Fall asleep halfway through. . . This kid played all kinds of logic in his childhood, so he didn't care about the ipad! One thing is heavy: you think you can't take it, you may miss the most important moment, you think you're going to die, but you're still alive. People are weaker than imagined, but also stronger than imagined.
