A touch of beauty and pure love-impressions of "The Heart of Atlantis"

I have known that this is a beautiful story, no matter what the ending, the process is always beautiful. With the participation of Anthony Hopkins and the participation of children, I have always been looking forward to it. After shopping on the disc market for a long time, I finally got a glimpse yesterday.

At the beginning of the film, Bobby received a baseball glove from the lawyer of a deceased friend from afar. An old glove evoked his memories. "Memories often burst in the door suddenly, you don't know where it will take you, just hope that this journey is beautiful." The words of old Bobby opened the door of memories, and followed the time track of memories to review Unforgettable moments in life.

The 11-year-old Bobby did not receive the bicycle he dreamed of on his birthday, and reluctantly accepted the free adult library card from his mother. Through sincere and humorous conversations with him, Ted gradually made him appreciate the nourishment that books can give to the human spirit. I think if her mother discusses literature with her son in this way, the value of this birthday gift will obviously appreciate in Bobby's heart.
In the film, we see a selfish mother's mean love for her child, and we also see a mysterious old man's serious love for her child. Some people say that this is the sublimation of friendship to father's love. In fact, why the distinction is so clear? No matter what kind of love, the key is that it makes each other feel warm.
Yes, people are right. God is fair to everyone. It deprives Bobby of the natural love that belongs to Bobby, but gives him another kind of love in the dark. Regrettably, this love is too short. In this short time, Ted has taught Bobby to be wise, brave, persevering, tolerant, fraternity...These are the inexhaustible wealth of life, so this is short enough.

Is it regret or imagination to miss Ted's unknown destiny at the end of the film? Just like the ancient city of Atlantis, it disappeared in its glory and beauty, leaving it to future generations to dream of endlessly. However, Ted's heart will always illuminate a child's life and become his imprint for a lifetime.
