Reality leaves us nowhere to hide, only each other illuminates

The yellow flower reappears at the end of the film. It is a wild flower from the hills in the suburbs. In contrast to the dilapidated and shabby hotel, it is bright, vivid, and gorgeous. The parting magician gave this flower to the girl, projecting the girl in his heart. The image, innocent and as warm as sunlight, does not require money, but is more moving than expensive costume jewelry. However, a few days after the magician moved into the inn, the girl also picked flowers and carefully placed them in the vase, but the flowers always withered.

On the train leaving Edinburgh, the magician faced the little girl who had lost the brush, and fiddled with two pens that were long and short but similar in style. At that moment, I thought that the magician would use his quick fingers to "change" "Give the little girl a longer brush, but this time the magician didn't cast magic, what made him change? When people in the world are eager to embrace light and shadow magic and have little interest in traditional skills, when traditional craftsman lives in desperation and sighs and constantly sacrifices their dignity, when the only enthusiastic audience gradually shakes and empathizes with other places, when magicians build illusions by their skills He became fragile and crumbling under the impact of reality, the magician's final self-setting collapsed, the man who always remained graceful even in poverty, and who tried his best to remain decent in front of girls even though he was treated coldly everywhere, said " magician does not exist". There are no magicians in the world, and there is no need for people to believe in magic. As an illusion, one day it will dissipate. For magicians and girls alike.

The beauty of the world, no matter how vibrant and indestructible it is at the moment, will be deconstructed and turned into dust in the end under the erosion of time and reality. That being the case, meeting the beautiful you may be the best result.

Also: the seven-year-old Xiaoya watched the entire film attentively, quite unexpectedly, he burst into tears in the scene where the magician released the rabbit, and later he sobbed and told me that he was very sad to see the flowers at the end of the film. I guess that the saddest thing that can be felt at his age is probably separation. Thinking of this, I was comforting him, and I suddenly burst into tears... But I didn't expect that no matter how much I comforted the baby teeth with pear blossoms and rain just now , suddenly took out the snow green rabbit who shook its tail to make me happy. Hence this article.
