Face the past, go to heaven

An Irish family experienced the pain of losing a child and brought two daughters to a new country, hoping to forget the past and start over. However, life is not as good as they imagined: the parents are struggling to make ends meet; in the playground to get the toy that the daughter wants, the father loses the last coin; the wife is pregnant, which reminds the father of his dead son. The pains of the past have struck one after another, lingering, and the family's life is on the verge of tension and collapse.

Fortunately, the eldest daughter is far more optimistic, strong and conviction than an adult. She prays silently for this family and firmly believes that her three wishes can be realized. On Halloween night, two little girls called Trick or treat and knocked on the door of the anxious and tyrannical neighbor painter. Their innocence calmed the desperate neighbor who was suffering from AIDS, so that he gradually integrated into the family and lived in peace. The last part of life also brought the long-lost understanding and love to the parents. When the father finally bid farewell to the youngest son Frankie, the family's dreams began to shine into reality.

Watching this film, I was moved by the real details of life, and also impressed by the little girl's innocence and perseverance. Everyone will encounter all kinds of frustrations and pains, avoiding is not the way, forgetting is just deceiving yourself. In fact, there is no hurdle to pass, bravely face the past, persist in faith, and we will definitely reach the paradise we expect!

PS: The Desperado performed by the eldest daughter in the school is completely different from the vicissitudes of the Western style of the original song Eagles, it is pure and innocent.

In America quotes

  • Mateo: I'm an alien, like E.T., from a different planet. My skin is too sensitive for this Earth. The air is too hard for me.

    Ariel: Are you going home like E.T.?

    Mateo: I suppose I'm going home.

  • [last lines]

    Christy: [voiceover] It was as hard for Frankie to smile when the tumor was malignant as it was for my dad to cry after. But they both managed it. I'm going to switch this off now. It's not the way I want to see Frankie any more. Do you still have a picture of me in your head? Well, that's like the picture I want to have of Frankie. One that you can keep in your head forever. So when you go back to reality, I'll ask Frankie to please, please let me go.
