If there is a feeling that is a mixture of love, family and friendship, how would you define it?

Léon and Mathilda in "This Killer Is Not Too Cold", Robert and the Little Boy in "Perfect World", and
Dora and Joseph in "Grand Central Station", although they are either different ages, or the same gender, in blood It has nothing to do with the above, meet and get along under strange circumstances, and finally give birth to feelings that directly point to the heart, and even sacrifice his own life.

Can we really simply distinguish the relationship between people?

"Central Station" is a Brazilian film. People who speak Portuguese are busy in Rio de Janeiro and Banguisu. It has been more than 400 years since the Portuguese navigator Cabral arrived in Brazil in 1500. In the country of coffee and football, most of its northern parts are still poor and barbaric, and most of the people are even illiterate.

So, the story begins with the plot of someone writing a letter. "Letter" has become the key word of this film. It connects the development of the story before and after. A good film should be like this. It is easy for people to remember those subtle details and savour them in their memories. .

Our little protagonist is an eccentric boy with beautiful eyes who is smart, stubborn and boastful, but is actually very sensible, just like Jacques in his childhood in Luc's other movie "The big blue", silent, In fact, he is the smartest one among the children. Dora, our heroine, is a middle-aged woman who loves to lie, drink heavily, and get hairy. It is such a strange combination, but it involves the theme of maternal love and friendship. You must know that dealing with children is a very troublesome thing. Sometimes they are unreasonable, and sometimes they are terribly cute, not to mention Joseph is the kind of The smart and silent type, Dora didn't know what medicine she took wrong, took him in, and embarked on a journey to find her father with her. After the two lost money, bought a watch, and lost their marriage with a truck driver, they finally clashed on the sacrament of Jesus Christ. I wonder if the images of the Virgin and the Son in the last shot represent a symbol. The intimacy between Dora and Joseph, but anyway, the next morning, Dora woke up in Joseph's arms, she must have seen the love in the boy's eyes, and then she pillowed on Joseph's thin black calf, She smiled and closed her eyes and went to sleep.

In the end, although Joseph didn't see his father, he learned that his mother's wait was worth it. His father was as good and skilled as he imagined, and he had two half-brothers.

On the last night, Dora put on the blue dress that Joseph gave her, put on the lipstick that Joseph had praised for her good-looking, and quietly boarded the bus back to Rio de Janeiro, but sat in the car and cried and wrote: If you want to Me, just look at the photos we took together...

At this time, who can explain what kind of beautiful feelings make me cry?
