Before the typhoon came, I watched "I AM DAVID", a very beautiful film, the countryside scenery of Italy and Switzerland, the customs of the 1940s, peaceful and quiet , like a paradise, very warm, in this day when the typhoon made people feel uneasy, it gave me a little comfort and warmth.
The film tells a story during World War II. David was a child who grew up in a concentration camp. He was separated from his parents since he was a child, and he did not understand the identity of his parents. One day, with the help of a mysterious man, he escaped from the concentration camp and wanted to send an important letter to Copenhagen. The mysterious man told him not to trust anyone, and David set out on the road with these words in mind. He went through hardships along the way, passing through Italy and Switzerland, and met many strangers. He was always wary until he met an old Swiss lady who treated him as a grandson and told him that there are actually many good people in the world. There are family and friends, and of course there are bad people in the world. They are generally recognized by you, maybe you will not recognize them, but because of this, you don't trust anyone. You can be defensive, but you can't prevent others from entering your world.
This passage should be the theme of the film, the theme of trust. From my own experience, I agree with what the old Swiss lady said, there are still many good people in the world. I like to trust others, believe that others treat you with sincerity, believe that the kindness of others to you is not for ulterior motives, and that the world is actually beautiful. But people always tell me, you can't trust others like this, there are actually many bad people in the world. No one will help you for no reason, they help you for no reason. I don't know if I should listen to them, always keep my vigilance up, and doubt the motives of all good intentions. I am very reluctant to do this. I am willing to meet a stranger on the road, and I can look at each other and smile, and then pass by. I am willing to see someone carrying a large bag in a shopping mall, and I can naturally help her, I also hope that strangers won't look at me suspiciously when I need help in a different place.
Once at Nanjing Airport, I was late for an hour because of a problem with the car of the pick-up person. My mobile phone was out of order and could not be used. I have no choice but to borrow my mobile phone from a stranger at the airport. It is very difficult for me to tell me, because I know the mutual trust of Chinese people. I found a couple and borrowed their mobile phone from them. They looked at me suspiciously. Eyes, hesitant to lend me my cell phone. Although that look made me feel embarrassed at the time, I was still very grateful to them, I knew they were not malicious, it was just a habit and thinking that made them instinctively distrust strangers.
Nowadays, people's trust in people is getting lower and lower, not only with strangers, but also with friends around them, many people are very reserved, everyone is afraid, afraid of being deceived, so everyone unconsciously Psychological self-defense, no matter what he heard, he sneered in his heart and said to himself, the ghost knows whether it is true or false. I saw an article circulating on the Internet a while ago, saying that there is a difference between twenty and thirty. When I was twenty, I believed everything I heard was true, but I had to pretend not to believe it. I heard it when I was thirty. Believe nothing is true, but pretend to believe it. I have always thought this kind of progress is sad, and I have been rejecting this kind of progress. A very close friend said to me, how old you are, you can't grow old. But I always believe that there are still many good people in the world, but our environment has turned people's trust into a luxury, a kind of childish performance. Many people will sneer at the trust of others, thinking in their hearts, how naive, they still believe in people these days, but I feel that these people may have protected themselves, when they also lost many things, many things more important than material interests , this kind of thing is warm and beautiful, it can bring joy and tranquility, rather than suspicion and doubt.
At the end of the movie, David let go of his heart, he could finally take the initiative to talk to strangers, he released himself, he got his own happiness, at the end of the movie, when Damien Rice's singing remembered, I couldn't help but stay tears. Believe, it is actually a very simple and beautiful thing, why do we have to make it so difficult?
