【I'm David】

The Chinese translation of the film "Delivering a Letter to Copenhagen" took me a long time to watch it for the first time. When the song "Cold Water" by Damien Rice suddenly appeared at the end of the film, my eyes were wet, and my eyes were hiding behind the lens. So want to baptize with tears. The reason for the urge to cry is not only a movie, nor just a song. It may be difficult to explain it in a comprehensive way, and it is difficult to understand it. 00:34, the night is already very deep, grab the last battery of the notebook and write down the current mood, I am afraid, I am afraid that they will all be gone when it is too late, and I will not be able to speak.
Knowing this movie is because of the rainy day, she probably heard the song Cold water by Damien Rice that I recommended and mentioned the movie. I almost forgot the above sentence, until the final tune sounded, it suddenly invaded and made my eyes wet. , I want to cry tight, waiting for that opportunity. It can be a movie clip, a music chapter, or even a small scene in life, enough is enough, I should not be a greedy man. The movies mentioned in the rainy day, it seems that I went to watch them seriously in the end, which is also one of the aspects that she is very important to me.
Let's talk about the movie first. There are many details in the process of a young boy who escaped from a concentration camp to find Denmark, but the vision conveyed by the directors does not need to be nitpicky. This is a story of chasing, escaping from darkness and finding light. Forgive me for this vulgar statement for the time being. The reason why I choose Denmark and Copenhagen, ah, isn't that the birthplace of fairy tales, isn't there an environment where princes and princesses gather happily and happily? Yes, it will be heaven, it must be.
Many plots in the film are not what I take for granted. I describe the little surprises given to me one by one. The arrangement in the smooth narrative thread seems tepid and relaxed, just like this slow movie, quiet. Watching this film in the lonely moment of the dead of night, when people are quiet and dreamy, makes my heart settle down. The director is not showing off the twists and turns of the script, it just happens so naturally. But it can't be described as leisurely. When you go to meditate to do one thing (even watching a movie), you abandon all distracting thoughts (even if your mind is distracted recently), and the joy you get when you put it into it is multiplied. More importantly, such an experience is rare and precious.

I Am David quotes

  • David: I wish I were dead!

    Johannes: Don't say that. Don't even think it.

    David: Why not? There's nothing good here! What's the point of even staying alive?

    Johannes: Because if you're alive you can change things. If you're dead you can't. Do whatever you can to stay alive, no matter what! Go.

  • [first lines]

    Title Card: In the years after World War II, many people in Eastern Europe were sent to forced labor camps for disagreeing with their new governments. Because of this, families were torn apart. Life in these camps was very harsh, and escape was not an option. And yet, for one boy named David, it was his only hope...

    The Man: Are you listening to me? You must escape from here tonight. It's your only chance to stay alive. If you follow my instructions and make it out of the camp. Travel when it's dark to free Bulgaria so you won't be seen. They'll be everywhere waiting to arrest you. And unless you're very careful, you'll be caught. If you make it across the border, you must get the envelope to Denmark. First, head south to Selonika, and hide in a ship that's going to Italy. When you arrive there, travel north as far as you can. Your journey will be long and it may be impossible, but you must get this envelope to the authorities in Denmark. You must not open it. If anyone sees its contents before you get there you'll end up back here. Do you understand?

    The Man: I know you've lived in this camp your entire life, but there is a world outside it. However, it's a very dangerous world. Trust no one.
