Movies involving the theme of "911" are difficult to make, because they are too sensitive and special, and are often regarded as too sensational or superficial by critics. The film is said to have received a lot of criticism. For me, who has not personally experienced such a terrifying incident, this film still has considerable shock and insight.
The little boy in the film is quite unlikable, but after learning about the symptoms of "Asperger's syndrome", (the patient lacks communication skills, although the language development is normal and the expression is fluent, but he does not pay attention to the other party's reaction, regardless of the other party's reaction. Whether he is interested in what he is talking about, and does not care about the feelings of others. Once his habitual behavioral activities are changed, he will show anxiety and irritability.) Only then did he know that his various uncomfortable behaviors were because of this disease. . Therefore, I have a deeper understanding of its performance in the film.
Such a relatively special child is fortunate to have met an excellent father. Perhaps it was because his father himself had not received paternal love since he was a child, so he was extra patient when facing his sick son and devoted a lot of time and energy to communicate with his son.
People who grow up in a broken family environment tend to work harder to maintain their small family and try not to expose their children to similar situations. The character of the father in the film is active and cheerful, has a strong sense of family responsibility, and has a deep love for his wife and children. It is even more heartbreaking for such an excellent man to suddenly lose his life in a tragic way.
In addition to making the audience feel the grief brought about by terrorist activities, the film also deeply depicts the process of how the families of the victims repair their heartbreaks, although some wounds can never be healed.
In the film, the grandfather tries to help the little boy, saying to him, "Sometimes we have to face our fears. Don't think about anything!"
When it hurts to the point that no one but yourself can understand it, don't think about it and move on with your life. There is no other way. Only time will ease the pain or bring it to an end.
May time be peaceful and there is love in the world.
