At first, I was attracted by the terrified look of the little boy who kept hiding under the searchlight.
What happened to make this 12-year-old kid run around?
It is introduced at the beginning of the film. After World War II, many people in the Middle East were sent to Bulgarian labor concentration camps because of conflicts with their new government. Forced to disperse, David was also separated from his mother.
Life in the concentration camps was hard, even cruel. Whipping, murder, all kinds of brutal things happened in David's eyes, people became numb, this shadow overwhelmed him, so the desire for freedom grew stronger, and his friends also told him: "As long as there is life, there is hope, But if he dies, there's nothing left."
So David decided to flee.
I don't know what kind of faith and courage allowed this 12-year-old boy to cross the tight grid and escape the heavily guarded sentries. Perhaps it is the desire for freedom! In the film, there is always the voice of a young man who helps David with his escape plan, saying: "You must do as I say, send the letter to Denmark, don't open the envelope to read it, and don't believe it. Anyone, keep going north."
Always, keep going north, all the way north.
Some people say that this is a contest about trust; some people say in the film review: Growth is a flight. David's experience is like I like the protagonists in the book "The Little Prince", they have a long journey together, but the little prince always looks at the world with wise eyes, and David's eyes twinkle Yes, heavy.
On the way to escape, David always had the words his friend said to him in his mind: "Don't trust anyone." On the contrary, it would have been difficult for David to get to Copenhagen without the help of the people he met along the way. Bar! As the old lady painter said, there are still many good people in the world.
When he was found in the ship's warehouse, he gave the crewman a nail clipper. I don't think it was a very valuable thing. Anyway, with the help of the crew, he arrived in Italy.
There is forty years of Italian countryside and fields. It seems that the darkness has disappeared all of a sudden, and the quiet and peaceful terroir is extremely warm and comfortable.
The owner of the bakery promised that he was the only one who could help with his work, that he could give him some food, and told him that Elizabeth could help him when he was in trouble, but when he saw the police outside the shop talking to the owner, he ran away, at this moment , he seemed a little convinced, um, don't trust anyone anymore. At this point, his compass broke.
From the bakery to the hut where she wandered to the farm, Marianne, who was in the fire, looked at the people around him with suspicion, distrust, and vigilance. When Marianne told him that the people around her had complete families and that she loved her own, David told him that he had people he hated. I feel a little pain in my heart, is there no love in this child's eyes?
Compared with Marianne's elegant conversation and well-read temperament, David seems to be a little ignorant and out of touch with the world. This has a lot to do with his years of introduction life! He didn't know how to smile until he met an old lady painter in Milan.
She painted him a portrait and took him to her house as a guest. Looking at the soft face in front of him and touching the soft fur of the cat, he remembered his mother who was separated from him. At that moment, there was a small amount of water vapor in his eyes. The old lady told him about her dead son, how to trust, how to smile. In this peaceful town, David hugged the old lady and cried, he was too tired. It was the most peaceful night he slept.
The next day, he stepped on the gravel-paved ground, looked at the old man on the bench and rested, saw a book he remembered very well in the bookstore, and listened to the old lady who was an artist talking about the author of a book by a mother and The son is separated, and the officer helps the mother escape the disaster. He finally put down all his arms and burdens, and with the help of the old lady, he handed over the documents in the letter to the police station, thus ending all difficulties.
When I saw this, I was also greatly relieved. It was over, and he finally returned to Copenhagen, back to his mother's side.
At the end of the film, David got off the airport and said to his mother: "My name is David." This is also another name for the film, my name is David.
Through the gurgling stream and the dense forest, David met the lovely Marianne, the kind and kind old lady, and the people he met along the way. He found Copenhagen, grew up, and learned to trust and smile.
On the contrary, I felt that this was not an escape, although there were grievances, sadness, and despair along the way. But there are also warm people, a lot of warmly blooming golden sunflowers, and the wind gently brushing their faces.
Dear friends, please believe that in this so-called bizarre and sensual world, as long as you are brave, you will reach your Copenhagen.
