I am also a person who was abandoned by my father, but I don't know if there will be an opportunity like the heroine to let everything go, and then miss the warmth of my father. At least I can't do it now. And her ruthlessness, my ruthlessness, or the inability to forgive even the slightest mistake of paranoia (like her practice of destroying all those letters she considers vulgar) is partly because we've been swept up in the face of one of the greatest choices. Forced "chosen", even the right to choose to forgive is deprived, want to forgive, but the other party doesn't care, it can only be regarded as self-indulgent. This kind of grayness that is buried deep in the heart and has nowhere to vent is difficult to be uprooted and keeps growing.
Coldness takes time and love to dissolve. Dora wanted to give up Joshua many times in the first half of the film: sell him and rescue him; throw him in the car and leave by himself; when she was embarrassed, she called him a broom star, until she finally watched him disappear into the crowd. Throat didn't give up searching until he fainted. Her frozen heart was slowly melted by the little boy's simple faith and dedication to love. In the second half of the movie, when they start writing letters on behalf of others, she can already feel the love and gratitude of others, and the deep feeling behind the roughest words of those who have no culture. She will be happy or moved with the mood of the writer. At this time, she is no longer the one she used to be. And I, over the years have become more and more indifferent, more and more utilitarian. There is always an element of revenge in the motivation to move forward. After a long time, I no longer care about this matter, but it also develops a bad inertia, which makes the love in my heart less and less. It was as if Dora had a little bit of intolerance in her heart at first, but she was always looking for the most convenient way to solve Joshua's problem. If there is such an opportunity to change my mentality in front of me, maybe I will take the shortest shortcut and give up such a seemingly long journey to find love. Yes, I absolutely will. If so, am I going to be indifferent all the way? Instead of re-establishing confidence to embrace life, a man full of resentment walks alone?
When she finally saw that she decided to leave Joshua, put on the dress he gave her, put on lipstick and blush, and walked faster and faster, she already knew how to go in the future, even if she was alone, When life is full of love, life is not so monotonous and difficult, and even continuing to write letters can be a joyful errand. At the same time, she also gained confidence in Joshua's pure simplicity that she used to think of as nothing more. In the car, she picked up a pen to write to Joshua, saying how much she missed her father. No matter what happened in the past, it's gone in the end. Feelings built up throughout the film burst out all at once. I longed for that feeling, knowing that as long as he was around, I would never have the time to forgive. I'm so happy for Dora to have this opportunity, and myself, I can only share that feeling and quickly wipe away my tears and move on with my life. Everyone's situation is different, and what you can't get can't be forced. In any case, the movie gave me a chance to experience warmth and let me know that maybe everything can be reversed. It's like the letters in Dora's hand, if they are sent, it may be like the butterfly effect, resolving countless pains and making everyone happy.
