From heartache to heartache

Watching the movie "Nobody Knows", it was like drinking warm water calmly from beginning to end, but when I finally put down the cup, I found that I was drinking a cup of poison with a clear and transparent appearance.

There are no intense scenes, no sensational shouts, and no artificial emotional expressions. It slowly and orderly narrates the story of several children who supported each other and lived tenaciously when they lost their parents, and delicately depicts the state and changes of each character. .

At first, my eldest son was so sensible that I felt extremely distressed. He restrained himself from wanting to go to school, went to his brother and sister's father to ask for money in order to survive, and went to the supermarket to buy things, thinking about his sister's favorite snacks... 14-year-old shoulders The responsibility of taking care of younger siblings.

But he was still just a child. Seeing him starting to make friends, seeing him learn to steal with bad friends, seeing that he was not so gentle and bright with his younger siblings... It seems that he finally doesn't have to feel sorry for his sensibleness, but it hurts even more Deep into the bones, I was terrified. At the end of the film, the cruel reality completely destroyed the child.

Ming didn't go astray, but his younger sister Xiaoxue died, and several children at an age before they knew how to live, just stared blankly at the death of their loved ones.

Xiaoxue left this house in a suitcase just like when she first came to this house, from birth to death, no one knows.

The younger brother had no tears, but his hands were shaking while digging. He bought a lot of chocolates that Xiaoxue liked to eat, and took Xiaoxue to the place where the plane took off. That was the only thing he could do for his sister.

The more innocent and innocent they are, the more they reflect the coldness and ugliness of the world.

The director is kind, and at the end of the film, they relive their hard work under the sun. I watched the silhouettes of the four children go away for a long time without regaining my senses.

However, after checking the prototype of the story "Japan's West Sugamo Abandoned Infant Case", I learned that the real incident was a hundred times more cruel, which is embarrassing.

How I hope that their ending will be as described in the film, and they will bravely start a new life under the sun.
