far-flung geese

When the wild geese fly to the distant mountains, will you and I both let go of the pain of the past, the gains and losses of the present, and shake hands to make peace? Thinking of the last movie "Good Will Hunting" I watched, I think one of the things I began to understand is that we all have a strong defensive mentality. We are often reluctant to open our hearts to others, and we bury loneliness and pain in our hearts. We don't know the world, we don't know the people around us, because we are afraid of facing those strange souls. What we are afraid of is that when we extend kindness, we will get disappointment to people again and again, and at the same time, we will also Disappointment of own kindness. But what if someone embraced your crazy dreams? What if someone protects your innocence and loves your beauty? If someone accompanies you to fight against the rules of the world, accompany you to see the distant scenery, and accompany you to release wild geese? When someone understands that you are not understood and that those who accompany you are not accompanied, love is self-evident. Love may not be the whole of life, but a good love is worth pouring into the meaning of life, and a good love is also worth understanding the helplessness of the other party and embracing the pain of the other party. Just like in this film, when the father understands Amy, protects Amy's bold ideas, accompanies Amy to fulfill her crazy wishes, sheds tears for her safety, and reveals to her his regrets and anger towards himself, the time-spaced father Love has finally come to reality, and when we let go of the layers of vigilance in our hearts, we can finally embrace each other and not let our love be displaced. After watching the movie, I remembered the documentary "Grizzly Man" that I had watched. It is the same man and nature, but the two have diametrically opposite styles. When Amy's geese flew over forests and fields with wild geese, when they formed a line in the sky, our joy seemed to dance with the joy of nature, the blue sky above the geese, the sea below the geese, and they reflected This group of lucky people flew to the distant mountains. We feel that nature is rich in emotion and all things have animism. And "Grizzly Man", the knight who guarded the grizzly bear, eventually died under the claw of the grizzly bear. There is a passage in the documentary: "What I will always remember is the face of every bear that Treadwell has photographed. , I have never seen intimacy, understanding and hip pain in the country, I only see the great indifference of nature. The so-called mysterious world of bears does not exist at all, these eyes are just lazily looking at food." The two films are equally profound. PS: The theme songs of "Fly With You" and "Grizzly Man" are highly recommended
