A touch of sadness

This is the story of an outdated old magician wandering in the city with a rabbit who can bite people and an orphan girl Alice who came across by chance. This animated movie has no ups and downs and no cool 3D effects. With a handful of dialogues, melancholic and simple pictures, and a quiet and light soundtrack, the film is filled with a touch of sadness from the beginning to the end. You might think that Alice is too greedy for vanity, always let the old magician conjure up what she wants, beautiful high heels, fit dress, gorgeous coat. The old magician's humble magic performance income was only enough to make ends meet. In order to meet Alice's material needs, the old magician worked as a car washer, painter, window displayer, and later sold magic props. When Alice found her love and happiness, the old magician retired. The old magician treated Alice like a paternal love, as if the old magician made up for the loss of contact with his biological daughter for many years. Body. Are we not the ignorant Alice. Mom, my sneakers are old. Dad, my classmate has used the computer. Mom and Dad, I want to buy a house. Parents save money and spend all their savings, and strive to satisfy one of our wishes. Mom and Dad are like magicians who conjure up new sneakers, computers, and houses that we want. When our parents were not too old, we also became magicians, conjured up something they wanted, and made up for the guilt in our hearts.

This is the text left after watching "The Magician" in 2010. I revisited the movie on the weekend of 2020. Before I saw the end of the story, I turned off the TV. I was reluctant to face the sad end of the story. , 10 years have passed, coming and going, there are really not many opportunities to make up. Love may be an omnipotent magic, but it can’t turn back the clock.
