Finding in the story

"Finding" is the eternal motif of the film. Looking for relatives, treasures, lovers, money, desires, and beliefs...
"Central Station" is a simple story: a little boy searches for his father after his mother's death, and a person who was originally indifferent is moved to arouse his inner conscience to help him Find together. What about the end? Maybe not found. But at least they have a strong belief in them: they believe it will wait.
Hostility when they meet, mutual care in the middle, and separation at last. The seemingly ordinary plot finally brought tears to the eyes. The story of the hero is shocking, but the emotions of mortals are the most sincere. So watching "Braveheart" is not as deep as "Little Shoes", it seems that I am a mortal after all.
A typical "two-stage" action pattern for a story is: first expand outward, then return inward. Therefore, often the end of the story is as calm as a painting, no matter how much pain and setback you have experienced at the beginning, no matter how intensified the conflict is at the beginning, at least in the end, hope is born in peace. The sun will rise as usual and everything will be fine. The same is true of this story. The heroine finally walked on the road in front of the morning sun and set foot on her own train. After all, the redemption of the soul has been completed, and it is time to return to his ordinary life.
Although the big boss (father) does not appear from beginning to end, he has always been the main thread of the story. Although this father is not qualified, he will always be brilliant in the heart of the child, exuding the light of spirit all over his body, and he cannot tolerate any slander. Just like "Dugu seeks defeat" in Shendiao, and "Sister Fairy" in Tianlong Babu, although she has never appeared on the stage, others have been completely defeated. People who do not appear always fill us with imagination. Although the image is difficult to outline, it is always beautiful. So the story ends with a big road, a road to the future, and on this road, there is one thing: hope.
This is also a story about time and space. They met in the same space, were taken to another space after a long bus journey, and finally each started a different life in a different space. At the node of time, they started to miss, miss the time to send the letter, miss the car, miss the father's house, miss the father. Therefore, the incompatibility of time and space is destined to be short-lived. After completing the mission together, we must return to the place where the story begins and start each other's people and things.
The hostess said that she likes buses and dislikes taxis, which will lead her astray. In this way, she is just looking for a little solace in the lost space to eliminate the fear and loss of space. The impression of my father became blurred as early as a child, but I can try my best to open up a new living space for others.
People without history are amorphous creatures living in moments. Without stories, there are no people.
Fortunately, we are all people with stories.

    The flawed conscience of the cunning little characters at the bottom and the plot from indifference to close to each other are far more moving than the theme of the Virgin. It is also a road-finding film, this film has more rich Catholic Saint Francis colors than "Kikujiro". It can be seen from the names of the three brothers Joshua, Isaiah, and Moses. The permanent missing father is more straightforward. Name Jesus. The female number one looks really like my Seventh Aunt. There is also the cute little Zhengtai.

    In what era we always need such a director and such a movie, because they tell us that no matter how dark the front is, there is always something to look forward to.
