Thoughts on Watching "Penguin Bloom"

"Penguin" is actually the name of a black-and-white magpie. One day it was injured and unable to fly, it fell into the yard of photographer Bloom’s house, and the family suffered a near-destruction one year ago. The couple took their three children to Thailand on vacation, and his wife Sammy leaned on one. The rotten railing fell from the roof, his spine broke in two, and he never stood up again.

If this film is not beautiful, the photography is not beautiful, the rice is not beautiful, it will be regarded as a bowl of substandard chicken soup and be criticized indecently. I also believe that everyone in this world is disabled due to bad luck the day after tomorrow. There is a story behind people that make them sad and angry. Your experience, your kindness, and your practice all determine whether you can empathize with them. This is a famous story about animals healing mankind. The "Penguin Bloom" album is marketed around the world, telling the miracle of warmth with warm images. Australian director Glendy put it on the screen. If this is the so-called spiritual chicken soup movie, this bowl of chicken soup is quite authentic and simple, without any additive flavor. This is not only because it comes from real events in life, but also because the filming techniques of the whole film are delicate and restrained. The lens sincerely analyzes the darkest moments of life, as well as the fragility and difficulty when climbing from the abyss.

This is blameless. And show the story of one of the millions of people in this world who have encountered misfortunes to the world in the form of a movie. As for whether it can inspire you and become the chicken soup in your mouth, that is really your personal business. . The film starts from a bad luck, the process is slow, layered, and infiltrated, from "Don't ask me'how are you?', I don't want to lie in front of the children" to the final "Ask me again." "I feel better" and "I feel better" are deeply moving: during this period, what kind of frustration and fire have been with my husband, mother, son, coach, nature, and even myself. Rebirth growth!

The realistic ending of the story is a magnificent poem. Sammy has not been able to stand up, but he is no longer depressed. Magpies have been practicing flapping their wings and flying high, and Sammy has grown into a solo kayak adaptive surfing champion with amazing strength training. Her cup was still shattered, but it was finally refilled with the poetry of the soul. The closer the film is to the end, the more the light used in the film tends to be backlit. The light particles in the early morning and evening are beautifully spread on the injured birds and people, just like re-feeling the love of life.
