As I get older, I get a little numb to many things. But there is something at the end of the film that evokes something deep inside me. I can't tell what I was moved by, but all of a sudden I burst into tears. Timothy gave a leaf to everyone who didn't take him seriously. I don't want to associate it with "thank you" or so-called "thank them for hurting themselves and making themselves stronger" or something, because it's not. In the eyes of the purest child, there is no enemy, no hatred, only love. They see positive things in their eyes, but what about us? Living in a noisy city, forgetting the purest things, but constantly worrying about it every day.
Really, life is really not that complicated sometimes. Some things exist, and you can't change them. Then you can change your way to make yourself a little happier and happier. Don't do it deliberately, just let it flow.
There are some things you don't want to happen that may ultimately be unavoidable. Then there is no need to make yourself distressed about it, and there is no need and reason to bring this distress to the people around you. Alone, silently, perhaps for all, there will be a lot less pain. (From the bits and pieces before Timothy left)
Writing this, I still don't know why I am sad, but moved. But, the film must have touched something inside—something I haven't, or lost for a long time.
If I have to say what this movie brings to me, I just want to say: live a simple life, live the most simple life, and live like a child.
