Movie Weekly 10

It's 11:15pm. I just watched this movie and cried again. I felt so uncomfortable and moved, but I couldn't tell whether it was for those poor children and refugees or Sara's three loves in white. Shocked each time. In 1986, the rich young woman played the piano in the refugee camp, "I dream of being with my love..." The young woman would use her finger to point her pen in exchange for a miracle one-alife. Those feelings of if there is nothing.

In 1989, there was an economic crisis in the family of a rich young woman. In order to meet her, she went to Cambodia and experienced life and death with him from Cambodia to Thailand. In Thailand, two proud people finally revealed their aspirations "lose but proud" but they were not here. Together, you can’t be together, as Tony said, "If there is another life, I will not leave you for a minute, but now you have to go back, your family needs you, and I have to go where I should go."

In 1995, we met for the third time and the last time, from Russia to Checheng. What made her chase from Ethiopia to Cambodia and then to such a turbulent place. It is love, the love that has remained unchanged for 10 years. When Tony shouted "go, go" the snow was about to fall, but Sara stepped on the thunder under her feet without hesitation, and attracted the Red Cross to drink tony. At that moment, I was crying, and the heroine said in the letter, " I know you would say that I’m a bit of a treasure, go to the car city so far, such a chaotic place, but why don’t you want me to go, the trapped person is you, it’s you, for so many years, your smile, your courage , And that damn stubbornness! You are all in my mind, day by day, there has never been a distance between us."

Later, the piano returned by the little girl rang again, this time from the world to heaven. And the courage to live, the courage from Africa!

2019:

I still remember this movie and how I was moved when I watched it. Later, in 2009, Andy and I watched it again. At that time, it didn’t seem to be so moved. Andy didn’t seem to like it at all. I always felt that the gap between me and him started with this movie. I feel so moved. He thought it was funny...
