No fear of death is like no hope of life.

1. On the theme of the movie: Hope

The movie is calm and restrained, but despair is everywhere. Despair is not screaming. The children don't cry or make trouble. Even the death of their sister has no tears. They silently accept all the consequences, as if they never expected another happy ending. There is no fear of death, perhaps because life does not mean there is hope.

The film is based on the real thing, and it is also the most desperate thing. The children have no parents, no relatives, no knowledge, no ability, no home, no money, no one even knows their existence, and there is no gap for sunlight to pass through.

Maybe reality is so cruel, it won't be like a movie, there will be superheroes, the protagonist has a halo, can overcome all obstacles, and the story will not be ups and downs, just like a small river, flowing silently, silently, I don't know where to go , halfway exhausted or merged into the sea, and everything is unknown.

2. Born weak and helpless

Human beings are the weakest and most incompetent of all animals in their infancy. They cannot stand or speak, and they are completely dependent on outside care and support to survive. In fact, after infancy, they are weak and helpless until they are 16 years old. At this time, people can Going, it can be said, but it is still difficult to survive on your own. Human society has morals and laws. There are ways to make money (it is also illegal to hire child labor), the beasts in the forest eat the weak, and if you win, you will have something to eat, but you won’t die of starvation. People can’t. wait to die. "For being human, I'm sorry."

Don't pin your hopes on others, just like the mother in the film, don't pin your hopes on the next man you meet is more reliable, just like children have been waiting for the mother's return, you can't guarantee that the promise is true or not, Whether it comes on time or not is the most important thing to strengthen yourself.

PS: I won’t talk about being born without raising them. The barrage has been condemning them all the time. Such people have nothing to say, they don’t deserve it.
