Paradise Lost

During the days when I was studying abroad and couldn't go home, only the fixed call to my home once a week could make me feel the warmth of my family. When I thought that I was about to forget that place, this movie brought me back to its original shape. Can't wait to write something after watching the movie and yes, homesick.

100 minutes, all stories about home. At the beginning, it feels like "Doraemon", and there is a little joy in "Family with Children" in the middle. It's just that the more I go back, the more I feel that this is our daily life, there is no exaggeration and no modification, because I have too many empathy.

I don't want to go into the details of the movie, because it's itself a description of a lot of prosaic details of life. Just seeing the familiar scenes performed in this way, it feels like the familiar-looking little girl around me has been carefully dressed up, and I am still surprised and moved even though I know that she has a shining and moving part. Allow yourself to laugh thoroughly for a long time, it is a gratifying and warm smile.

I like a few clips the most. First, the two parents fought for dozens of rounds to turn the stage, which was so vivid that it made people laugh. Second, the father came home tired at night and asked the mother who only watched TV for not preparing meals. The mother silently After taking the hot milk, my father fell asleep with a cigarette in his mouth. The third is the part where my grandmother was a volunteer to clean up and drive out the racing drivers, which was just three-dimensional, and the transformation of the "golden axe, stone axe" and chasing after my mother, too cute and cute.

However, the deepest impression is that Nonoko got lost there. The little girl not only helped other children find their mother, but also tried to find a way to contact her "lost" family, so calm that I admired her. That's right, I'm one of those lonely dolls who would go to relatives and friends' houses for a long time without talking or eating without being picked up by parents. I really admire Nonoko's emotional intelligence aura. It also reminded me that although the earnest teaching of parents and teachers "not to talk to strangers" is reasonable, it is still not worth the aura and cuteness of children who take the initiative to think and solve problems.

After watching the movie, I suddenly realized that I haven't had a good conversation with my family for a long time. I have experienced all kinds of things outside, tired and helpless, but there is such a place and a group of people who can laugh at them and make trouble with them, even if they are far away. From this perspective, we are happy. This is paradise, don't lose it.
