The arrival of the child is known from the box, and the departure of the child is known from the moment the first leaf falls. These episodes can be predicted from the beginning of the parents in the adoption center. This movie is not a detective film in the first place, and even if you guess most of it, as the plot develops, you will still be deeply touched by some plots.
From the point of view of the poster and the plot, the movie has this kind of fairy tale atmosphere. The movie itself should also be positioned in fairy tales. The advent of Timothy infects the people around him. He is optimistic, sensible and cheerful, like an elf. But sometimes the performance is too sophisticated and makes people feel like a child contains an adult soul. Some plots still need to be scrutinized, such as every time he opens his arms to the sun, although I personally like this action, every time the movie is put here, the rotating camera and the soundtrack give a wonderful feeling, but this behavior is twice before and after Appearance doesn't justify its existence, and it feels like an unrelated episode in the middle of the movie. . . Just relax your eyes.
I don't want to say much about the plot, I'm not the main audience for the movie - children and parents.
But I really want to recommend the filming and music for this movie. When filming, American family dramas have always been villages with woods, wooden villas and open-air gardens. At the beginning, they reminded me of the two movies "Big Fish" and "Forrest Gump", but because of the plot of this movie Weak, some close-up scenes of the yellow-leaf forest left a deep impression. The most common ones are little boys and little girls playing in the woods and building their own little world together. At this time, the camera is often pulled far away. The protagonist is very small in the picture but will not be ignored. With the relaxed and cheerful soundtrack, Like a landscape film. Coupled with the infection of the carefree emotions of the male and female protagonists, every audience will definitely be able to find the feeling of childhood. The soundtrack of the film "cherry on top" echoed in many places. Just like the blood of the movie, it is full of the fairy tale but warm atmosphere of the whole movie.
If you want to say that the most successful movie is to build such a beautiful and moving fairy tale on the bottom of the tragedy.
In this story, instead of shining bright and colorful everywhere, happiness comes from the real face of growth and maturity.
In this story, it is not that there is no regret, it is beauty and love that make people more calmly accept the deficiencies in life and life.
ps Let's talk about the "crazy thoughts" when watching a movie, whether it is related to the theme or not. As for the little boy who played the leading role, until the movie was halfway through, I still felt that he played too old Chen, a bit pretentious, but after knowing that the old man passed away, Timothy's eyes flashed with sadness, but there was a kind of transcendence. The calmness and relief of ordinary people (this is because he knows that he will be leaving soon, and the details of the fallen leaves can be seen), I just feel that this casting is really good! ! If the little boy had been so innocent before, and he was suddenly so mature here, I would definitely feel even more fake. . So I let go of the discomfort that I had been feeling before. . .
The little boy was born with leaves on his feet that the knife could not cut. Then pieces fell, and finally the boy left. . I think it's symbolic, but it doesn't seem to have much to do with the film's theme. Every baby comes from nature, and people in childhood have an inexplicable intimacy with nature, and then with their families. Friends, relatives and other life exchanges. The energy is scattered everywhere, and at the same time, the natural attributes gradually disappear, just like the leaves withered. Knowing that in the end the innocent child disappeared completely, and was replaced by an excellent child that was carefully planned and cultivated by his parents, thus embarking on the road of adulthood = =,,, and it can be seen from the movie that the parents always wanted to put Timothy Cultivating in a better direction, sometimes Timothy is not necessarily very happy, and the fall of leaves often happens after Timothy has completed a significant thing, which is also a warning to parents.
