Watch "Harry Potter" again, and look at the seventeen-year-old self

Constantin 2022-03-20 09:01:09

I wrote this article on August 24, 2020, and it has been less than four months since my seventeenth birthday.

On the afternoon of August 23, I walked into the 4D hall to watch "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" again. This was the first time I watched a movie after completing the original novel during the epidemic. The splendid plot of the novel combined with the spectacular and vivid pictures on the movie screen, coupled with the rocking chair and the wind blowing from around, completes a splendid movie-watching experience.

As the first film in the series, this film is mainly geared towards children, just like the original, so the dialogue in the film is mostly simple and easy to understand. What this film wants to express also unknowingly enters the hearts of children in a way that can be better accepted by children.

When the seemingly simple truth is spoken from the population of the same age...

Perhaps the hardest thing to understand for a young child is Dumbledore's words at the end. "Love, Harry, it is love!" It is conceivable that the concept of love is simple and vague in the minds of eleven or twelve-year-old children. It is just an abstract concept or feeling, but it cannot be clearly stated that it is one. No matter what it feels like, you can only say "love is to be good to others."

"Lt's love, Harry."

What about older friends or even adults? The concept of "love" is too broad. It can be between men and women, between relatives, or between friends. In the Western "Bible", it can even be between enemies. "Love" is not only a simple feeling, a physical and psychological preference, but also a responsibility and restraint, a pay and reward. It is selfless and selfish. A more comprehensive interpretation of "love" seems to produce more understanding of this sentence. In my opinion, Dumbledore’s “love” mentioned here is not only the sequel, which is explained in detail, “the same blood as Lily’s body” is a setting to protect Harry, but also the entire series. The main thrust of the book and one of the reasons why it can be passed down as a classic.

Can't speak
Silent is better than sound
If you compare love to a band, then the responsibility is bass
Love is selfless and selfish
Forgiving others and kindness is a noble love
Tell me loudly what Voldemort lost to! ?

When I walked out of the theater, the sky was completely dark. As I walked home alone, I couldn't help but think of my encounter with Harry Potter. At the age of fourteen, my first love in the strict sense is a huge fan of the "Harry Potter" series, whether it is novels, movies or English originals. It is because of her influence...

I don’t want to see Harry Potter in my entire junior high school??? . Because I separated from her in less than two months, probably because she had to study hard and take the high school entrance examination. All in all, this experience hurts me a lot. I didn't get out until the senior high school entrance examination. In the embarrassing time after breaking up for more than a year, I never wanted to touch the things she liked. Of course, it seems that these things are only full of memories before. It was probably because of the understanding of "love" at that time. In short, I came into contact with the "Harry Potter" series because I like to watch movies in high school, and then it was out of control. . .

On the way home, there was only the quiet sound of the evening breeze blowing through the branches. I wanted to put some brisk melody into my ears, so I took out my phone and cut the song to Jay’s "Simple Love".

Simple love
9.3
Jay Chou / 2001

Unexpectedly, the Weibo that comes with the mobile phone system will pop up a bunch of tasteless entertainment news, which is really annoying. But with Jay's refreshing and moving harmony arrangement, the sense of boredom quickly disappeared. After the song, I can't forget it for a long time, humming a little song briskly, jumping all the way. Suddenly a sense of gratitude surged in my heart. I am grateful for this era, and I am grateful to have classics like "Harry Potter" accompanying me to grow up. I am grateful that a genius like Jay Chou can resonate emotions in the notes and moisturize our ears. We are grateful to have basketball players like Kobe as a role model for our efforts. There are also basketball players like Yao Ming who interpret for us what it means to win glory for the country as they did in the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Wait a minute, what, 2008! ?

It turns out that none of this happened in my time. I just remembered now. As a post-zero post-zero, I just caught up with the last train of youthful growth of post-ninety generations. These things have happened more than ten years ago, but they seem to be happening in the present, which makes people think about it. I think about it carefully. In the past ten years, in the ten years of our zero-zero post-zero growth as adults, the thing that can change the world most is probably the rapid development of the Internet. The rapid development of science and technology certainly brings us convenience and innovation in material life. But when we think about our spiritual and cultural life, it is filled with some fast-food cultural trends. What kind of Weibo, Douyin, etc., (of course, the things in it cannot be killed with a stick, but in what I have seen are mostly boring entertainment news, vulgar and uninteresting videos), we must use it for several hours every day. app. Appropriate relaxation is certainly possible, and appropriate mental food is also necessary. Today, most people of the same age are suffering from mental malnutrition. Compared with the physical malnutrition of the whole people more than 100 years ago, I think it is not much better now.

Take it seriously???

Thinking and thinking, walking. A purple-yellow light appeared in the distance, and I walked forward and took a closer look. It turned out that the LED display on the outer layer of the high-rise building "printed" Kobe on it. On August 23, Kobe's birthday. The birthday of the eternal hero in my mind, eternal role model. I was speechless for a while, just froze there. . . I think of Kobe's pure love for basketball, of Kobe's father's companionship to his family and his daughter's paternal love after his retirement. I remembered all of this at the beginning of this year. . . . .

After calming down, breaking his hands and counting, he will be seventeen years old in less than four months. At the age of seventeen, although he is a minor, he still has the shadow of an adult. We should also think about the future and prepare for the future. I hope I can grow into a person who is as fearless and kind as Harry, and who works hard and knows how to pay for love like Harry!

absolutely
love

The movie was watched in the afternoon of Kobe's birthday on August 23, 2020

The article started late at night on Kobe Day on August 24, 2020

The article was completed in the early morning of the Qixi Festival on August 25, 2020. By the way, I wish all lovers in the world will eventually become family members and realize "love" in their hearts.

In the virtual novel, the seventeen-year-old Harry has faced Voldemort alone.

In the past history, the seventeen-year-old Kobe has already shined on the court.

In reality, I, who is about to be seventeen now, want to seize any opportunity.

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone quotes

  • [about the Bludgers]

    Oliver Wood: Nasty little buggers.

  • Hagrid: You all right there, Harry? You seem very quiet.

    Harry: He killed my parents, didn't he?

    [puts a hand to his scar]

    Harry: The one who gave me this?

    [Hagrid is silent]

    Harry: You know, Hagrid. I know you do.

    [Hagrid sighs and pushes his bowl aside]

    Hagrid: First - and understand this, Harry, 'cause it's very important - not all wizards are good. Some of them go bad. A few years ago there was one wizard that went as bad as you can go, and his name was V-

    [sighs]

    Hagrid: his name was V...

    Harry: Maybe if you wrote it down...

    Hagrid: Nah, I can't spell it. Alright

    [whispers]

    Hagrid: 'Voldemort'

    Harry: [loudly] Voldemort?

    Hagrid: Shhh! It was dark times, Harry, dark times. Voldemort started to gather some followers, brought 'em over to the dark side. Anyone who stood up to him ended up dead. Your parents fought against him, but nobody lived once he decided to kill them. Nobody... not one... 'cept you.

    Harry: Me? Voldemort tried to kill... ME?

    Hagrid: Yes. That ain't no ordinary cut on your forehead. A mark like that only comes from being touched by a curse, and an evil curse at that.

    Harry: What happened to Vol- to You-Know-Who?

    Hagrid: Well, some say he died. Codswallop in my opinion. Nope, I reckon he's still out there, too tired to carry on. But one thing's certain, something about you stumped him that night. That's why you're famous, Harry, that's why everybody knows your name. You're the boy who lived.
