Although there is no strong storyline, it makes people intoxicated and bathes the soul for an hour and a half. Often the ordinary little people dishes are the most moving. The male protagonist, who lacked love since childhood and was hated and ridiculed by his classmates, teachers and mothers, had a childlike kindness and always used his own less clever words to try to comfort those he thought was hurt. Named the 19 pigeons in the square. Although they don't read books, their hearts are as gentle as water. The kindness of human beings has not been dyed by the big dye vat of society. This is what attracted me to him, and I believe it is also the reason why his girlfriend loves him;
The second touch is the relationship between him and his girlfriend. The male protagonist has low self-esteem so he does not want children, but the female protagonist says that you have love. The picture of harmony, but any doubt seems to be a smear of their emotions, and the goodness of the male protagonist can only be discovered by the female protagonist and Margaret;
The third moving point, in the last scene of the film, Margaret said to the male protagonist like a child, "Your sandwiches always look so delicious, this time I will not refuse." Margaret is what I want to be The kind of woman who sits quietly with her, as if the whole world has become your friend, she has poetry and distance in her heart, even in the old people's storage center, sitting in a wheelchair, still holding a book , because that was the only thing that saved her. The 95-year-old grandmother is still well-dressed, carrying a small leather bag, calm and serene, and is used to going to the square with a soft cushion to read. This reminds me of Nansun's grandmother in "Golden Years". Even if her father was in debt and had to cut down on food and clothing, the old lady still kept her original posture. After teaching Nansun's mother to cook, the dining table returned to its former state. Abundance, she said, is what life should be like. Maybe someone has questioned as I did, that is because they have not really fallen into the rhythm of being forced by life, so that they can continue to maintain their original attitude towards life. But what I want to move people should be the elegance in the bones, not bowing their heads, not admitting defeat, being gentle with themselves and loving life at all times.
Charlman and Margaret tell us that the two most beautiful things in the world are kindness and reading.
