take it easy

In August, Shenzhen, the sky is not as clear as Hawaii.
Since the beginning of the summer vacation, commercial films have set off a movie-watching frenzy. To be honest, surreal and romantic films like Aloha have hardly made people shine. From the beginning to the end, what I felt most was nothing more than plainness; plain island; plain family of four; plain aboriginal life. The arrival of Brian did not change all of this. From the moment he got off the plane, this place he had never been familiar with was no longer so familiar. Because he defined himself as: a person who has died once.


Allison, a female officer with immense career, always says "I have a quarter of Hawaiian blood" when she sees it. She firmly believes in the ancient legend of Hawaii, and she also has a unique sincerity. She used her sincerity to convince Brian and King to negotiate, and she used her sincerity to ask Brian to blow up the satellite for him.
I just said that compared with the summer time, Aloha is not in the mainstream, there is no grand scene, no ups and downs of the plot, it only tells the plain. For more than a hundred minutes, after watching it very calmly, what have we gained and lost in living in a materialistic city? In real life, there is not such a perfect predecessor Tracy to guide us, and it is possible that we will never encounter a romantic and simple Allison in my life. Perhaps this is the original intention of the director of Cameron. With growth, people will forget many beautiful essences from childhood to adulthood, from innocence and romance to suspicion and depression. Can you find a way to get your heart back in the days to come?



Although I know that life is nothing more than a repetitive process of gain-loss-gain, I hope that someday in the future, at some moment, I can remember the words King said to Brian: "Sky has a lot to say tonight.Stick around,you're gonna skin your knees on eternity."
The sky has something to say tonight, don't go too far, you are willing to be conquered by eternity.
