Sophie's dream

I suddenly wanted to drink Sprite in the evening, but I didn't really want to drink it because I didn't want to drink something sweet. I just want to see the bubbles like a miniature fountain when it is poured into the cup, and its transparent white color, and the breath that I have forgotten and therefore cannot describe. I like to drink very few drinks, Sprite is one of them, and I stopped drinking it later, as if I haven't drunk it for many years. I remember that when I poured into the cup, the fountain rose. If my face is too close, there will be an imperceptible sensation of water droplets splashing. That kind of fleeting is like fireworks blazing in the night sky, making people want to pour out a little more.

Today I think of Sprite because I watched "Dream Giant" a few days ago, which Spielberg adapted from Roald Dahl's fairy tale. The giant inside drinks a homemade drink, which looks very mysterious green. Sophie said that the bubbles of human drinks rise upward, while those of giants fall downward. The giant said that human bubbles are rising, so if you drink it, you will definitely hiccup. How disgusting! Sophie said that if the bubble goes down, it will come out of other places, making it even more disgusting. Fortunately, she was bounced up and down by the huge air current. Whether it’s hiccups or farts, if the bubbles end up like this, it’s really boring.

Then they went to the palace, and the giant gave the queen and the rest of the royal family that drink. When Sophie saw the giant pouring them a drink, she was surprised and then couldn't help laughing, waiting for them to fart. As a result, after the royal family drank it, starting from the queen, one after another, they shook the earth and fart, shaking things up. Everyone was stunned when they felt something was wrong with their stomachs, a little inexplicable and nervous, and then it happened. Although farts are not a good thing, but in that case, it is really uncontrollable. It shouldn't have time to get smelly.

This movie is not very exciting, the plot is average, and many characters in it are very bad, and I think that in addition to the beautiful spiritual world, the fairy tale also has the beauty of the picture. The characters can be weird, ugly, and evil, but don't get out of the beauty. The giant took Sophie to the world where he caught his dreams. After entering the water, it was a world that was inverted from reality. It was overflowing with colors, and various dreams were flying everywhere, like stars gleaming in the night sky. There are sweet dreams and nightmares. Sophie caught her dream, and the giant sealed it in a bottle and labeled Sophie's desire.

The dreamcatcher can hear the sounds of all things in the world, can hear the sounds of flowers, trees, rivers, and streams, and can hear the voices of people sleeping. He captures all kinds of dreams and puts them in bottles, and blows them into deep sleep at night. People who bring their longings into dreams. In order to prevent the little dwarf of the giant kingdom from being bullied by other giants, and in order to prevent more children from being eaten, they created a super nightmare, blowing it to the queen, and using the power of the royal family to capture the cannibal giants After being thrown into an isolated island, the nightmare of the child being eaten was relieved.

Sophie used to be very hard to fall asleep and never dreamed. Ever since she was captured by the kind-eyed giant, she has embarked on a fantasy journey to create her own dreamland. But Sophie's dream is too ordinary. Finally they sat on the beach and Sophie asked the giant Sophie's desire, which was actually her future. The giant said that was Sophie's dream. She would grow up, get married, have a few children, and lead a very happy and warm life. I was a little disappointed to see this, and I thought it was so ordinary. Perhaps this is the dream of countless women, if this can be called a dream. For such a natural thing, just follow the established trajectory. But if her life is the result of pursuing love and never loses the feeling of love, it can also be said to be a dream.

When I said I wanted to drink Sprite but I didn't buy it, some people said I still drink the Shirley Bar. I think that the code names of the dark organizations in Conan are the names of a kind of wine. Xiao Ai is Sherry. Shakespeare described Sherry as "Spanish sunshine in a bottle". I haven't drunk it before. I don't know what it feels like. It's just that Xiao Ai doesn't seem to be like sunlight. If she is a kind of light, it also belongs to the night, moonlight or starlight, or the glow of fireflies. It's more beautiful and firm than the sun, but it can't shine on everyone, it just shines on a specific few people. Conan is Xiao Ai's sunshine, and Xiao Lan is anyone's sunshine. Wherever he goes, he will bring light and warmth there.
