be the "minority"

I watched "Dream Realizing Giant" at home on the weekend. I didn't do any homework before, and I just flipped through it because it was raining and bored. Produced by Disney, it is a real-life sci-fi adventure. I didn’t realize until the end that the director was Spielberg from the subtitles.

So I went to check the information out of curiosity and found that the film was adapted from Roald Dahl's fairy tale novel "The Good-Eye Giant". He is a famous British children's writer, famous for "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" and "Matilda". All from him.

"The Kind-hearted Giant" was written by him in his later years. It lost the meanness and sarcasm towards adults in his earlier works, and became more tender and sweet, enabling reconciliation and companionship between children and adults.

If you have children at home, or you like fairy tales, you can find his books to read, it should be very interesting.

Going back to the movie, the overall picture is vivid and delicate, but the plot is soothing and flat, which is somewhat unstimulating for people who are used to falling and falling, but I watched it quite comfortably. Evil was finally defeated by beauty, which is in line with the ideal world.

The protagonists are Sophie, a little girl in an orphanage, and BFG, a giant as tall as a building. Although the two are very different in appearance, you will find that they have significant similarities. The same "minority" faction.

Sophie often wakes up in the middle of the night and reads under the quilt wearing big glasses in the middle of a group of sleeping children; BFG is often excluded and bullied because she is the shortest in the giant country, mixed with meat giants but only vegetarians, and predators. They don't see dream catching as their job.

It is two people who are not so "normal", who are equally lonely and kind, who can accompany them through a fantastic adventure along the way, and finally form a deep and strong friendship.

Many times, we hope to live "like most people", after all, it will be safer, because there is a shelter; but only "different" can we live more casually, like suddenly breaking into an amusement park, you will meet Surprise and excitement.

Haruki Murakami said, "It is because of being somewhat different from others that people can establish themselves and have always been an independent existence."

Today is Teacher's Day. Blessings and praises are like a sea of ​​flowers, and the people who take photos are in a good mood.

I think everyone who does good deeds to others can be called a teacher. For example, in the face of a small number of "differences", they should be more tolerant and accepting, and those who are hesitant should be supported and encouraged to "be themselves". , a warm arm to hug and comfort the lonely and helpless.

May you meet more teachers on the way to "becoming yourself", and at the same time, you can also be a boat and let more people be themselves.
