Let The Lion Choose

Until 10 minutes before the end, my perception of the film remained "just for the little K to watch", "It's a good story with deep connotations but too formal..." "Such a story. There are countless versions of the story found on the earth every minute..." "It's better to shoot a day of a real soldier in this way"... Wait.

It's not that it is meaningless, but there is always a sense of powerlessness on such a heavy topic when it falls on a movie. But when Ali got the book, and everything after that, he was still moved. I think that at that moment, every word in the book must have a wind of freedom. It's like when Andy and his cellmates were drinking beer on the roof in "The Shawshank's Redemption."

"You know some birds are not meant to be caged, their feathers are just to bright.
You know, some birds are destined not to be caged, and every piece of their feathers shines with the light of freedom."

Ali There are still many people who cannot be as legendary as Andy in the movie, but a free heart lives in this world. No matter where you are, there will still be wonderful experiences. This is an extra gift of life to them. give.

Finally, I want to say that the freedom and happiness of some people may be destined to be built on the sacrifice and suffering of others. As the lucky group of people, many times we can't figure out the right and wrong of many things, and even the meaning. It seems that there will always be so many sufferings and injustices in the world. Or the meaning of many things we do is to give more people, no matter how big or small things, a right and opportunity to choose freely.

If we had the choice, we should've given it to them. We should have the lion choose.
