bird watching year. I’m sorry I don’t understand birds very well. The only cognition is the "one" and "people" fonts of the geese learned in elementary school, which are incomparable to the birdwatching champion Bostic, the fat Brad, and the old man Stu.
Then let us talk about ideals, or dreams.
I have no major achievements, unlike Stu who owns a big company. I’m not a loser either. I’m not like Brad, who has divorced and resigned, and spent only a few stupid birds. Perhaps on the way to struggle, most of us are more like Bostic. After some achievements, but always looking up to a higher future.
Americans are tolerant of dreams, at least most Americans are. So we can see "Social Network" and Facebook, "Little Sunshine" and a group of absurd family members. The three protagonists in "Bird Watching New Year" can't help but encounter ninety-nine and eighty-one difficulties on the way to pursue their dreams-the company that made Stu unable to retire, Brad's coldly opposed father, and Bostic. Pregnant fiancee.
The appearance of these characters is normal. Traveling throughout the Americas in 365 days is to compare with others and see more birds. It seems that this kind of crazy thing in the eyes of others is worthy of being a dream. The elderly Stu was sitting on a lot of dollar bills, and his wife was kindly coquettish "take a few beautiful birds for me~", Brad's situation was much more miserable. As he said, he is 36 years old, this Older people are not even qualified to talk about "dreams".
But here is the United States. The torch of the Statue of Liberty illuminates the beautiful or bleak "dreams" on this land. The people here will not be forced to take the test of meaningless civil servants or the three boring ones. Representatives and Marx's theory, they still retain the most primitive passion in their bones, and bravely care about "You saw 707? Wow, I saw 715" under the premise of rich material life.
Brad and Stu also feel life in the process of bird watching. Because of work Stu missed the flight to Atu Island for bird watching, because work Stu even forgot what his past pursuits were. At the end, he was finally able to let go of all the foreign objects cruelly, and there was a "home" behind him that kept supporting him. He went to complete a naive dream. In fact, it didn't matter whether the dream came true or not. He knew how to settle down, and how to take his grandson to look at the mountains and rivers, just like an ordinary old man.
And Brad. When my mother gave him a 5,000 yuan credit card, I was already exclaiming "How can there be such a good mother?" When my father finally invited him to see the owls, I exclaimed again. How could there be such a good father", because I couldn't help but think sadly, if this happened to me, my parents might only leave me a silent back.
Brad's role setting is also quite meaningful. When his father took the oxygen bag and asked Brad to go to the forest to find an owl by himself in order not to be a drag, Brad agreed with fascination, and then he suddenly realized "I actually Leave him there alone?!" This is in stark contrast to our bird-watching champion Bostic, who is just a bastard who lied to his wife while he was still in the hospital.
Bostic won the championship under the "inspiration" of vanity. In fact, his pursuit has nothing to do with his dreams, just as he didn't understand why Chinese restaurants were still open for Christmas. In the end, he didn't understand those and "dreams." "Things that were once parallel-such as the full house of children and grandchildren, such as home and what does everything mean? When a few years later, he recalled how much he had paid for the number "755", and I wonder if he would regret it-it turned out that he didn't want anything.
