【A lot of spoilers】

The screenshot is beautiful

Faith is a good thing!

First of all, Busby is a good father, and both Father and Hashimoto are very kind people. As for London, we are all the same at this age. The reality is more cruel. The world we see can't hold a single sand, and it is really violent.

Secondly, a few impressive points:

①_ After listening to Masao Kume's story, the little boy gathered up his courage and fought back against the strong three fat men who bullied him. This clip is super beautiful and powerful.

②_After the officer brought Busby's "death news", the picture of his wife coming out of the house crossed and progressed with the picture before Busby's death.

In Busby's world, the Japanese soldier watches him pull the trigger; in his wife's picture, she walks to the lawn in front of the house, out of the shadow of the house, the grass glowing in the sun, and then the next When the camera pulled the trigger, she collapsed and wept.

③_The change of this irascible young man in London is also very interesting.

From the failure of conscription at the beginning to the irritability, insolence, and hatred of Hashimoto, the Japanese, from the failure of the conscription to the bad news of his father, he raised a gun after his younger brother invited his friend Hashimoto to eat at his house and was caught, and then the front on the street Conflict can be said to be the climax of his image.

Then, participating in the destruction of the Hashimoto family and personal attacks on it, he was obviously a little overwhelmed. This also just shows that he is just a child with a kind heart. After that, taking the risk of imprisonment, he sent the seriously injured Hashimoto to the hospital without hesitation, which was an unexpected and reasonable move.

After that, he was released from prison by Hashimoto, showing a very different temperament from before, and he has matured a lot. Treating Hashimoto when attending his father's funeral, affirming his younger brother when he learned about his father's news, and being prudent when the family met in the hospital, I accidentally witnessed the maturity of a irascible young man.

④_Speaking back to the protagonist, the little boy (his name is really hard to remember), there is another scene in the movie that is also very meaningful.

When he found out that his father was "really" dead, he complained that he was stupid and believed that something like divine power could bring his father home. Hashimoto enlightened him that the most important thing is the list, and by completing the list of things, he has already reflected his deep love for his father.

In the next scene, he runs to his father's graveyard and stone the list on his father's tombstone, saying, "I did it for you"

The next second I'll be watching fireworks in Taipei...Bah! The next second I was in tears.

Because of his short height, he has only his father as a partner. His father will play with him, tell him stories, "cheating" for him, and go to the boot shop together...

All of those are for him to grow up well. And by completing the list, he learned to hate the moment, learned to resist bravely, learned to be kind to others...

Now, will Dad feel more at ease? "I" grew up well, "I" have two great friends to accompany me, don't worry.

[The emotion in this and "The Little Thing of First Love", Xiao Shui confessed to A Liang, and after learning that he was with Sister A Shan, she ran out sadly to meet Sister A Shan, and the moment passed by , turned around and hugged her tightly, expressing similar emotions: please hug him for me. 】

Two pictures taken in a hurry:

Finally, will look back.
