    A few years ago, I saw the original French novel The Belliers, so the American version must be less fresh, but I still like it, because the creator moved this story to the United States with a very sincere attitude, and brought it with him. No less touching than the original work, I like the silent scene of the choir the most, and I can't appreciate the talent of my child. This is probably the saddest thing, and the saddest thing is to kill it with my own hands, so in the end my parents chose to let go, although This ending is too ideal, but isn't that what everyone wants to see?
