this movie, I only watched the first four minutes, and I was sleepy in the back. But it was these 4 minutes that made me feel deeply inexplicably.
[We have a common dream, is that enough]
Great adventures are calling you.
Who would have thought that such a slogan would make Carl and Amy happy all their lives. On the contrary, this childish voice has overshadowed too much. After all, what is kept together is not a promise, but a common persistence in my heart.
Who can remember the childhood buddies, those old-fashioned past that always blushed when they held their hands. The two little children who didn't guess the childhood sweethearts are the most rare, and they are even rarer when they are married and stay together for life. When we grow up, when we mature, when we want to succeed, when we want to get married, can I use our common dream to ask you to marry me?
[I have nothing, would you marry me]
Love is a matter for two people, and marriage is a matter for two people.
Therefore, most people say no.
Career, money, power, status, house, car, and bills are love in the end. Too many obstacles lie on the road to marriage. Love is a marathon, but marriage is a triathlon.
I shouldn’t be picky about an animation work with an adult eye. I just don’t know how Old Karl got Amy back then. He is just a little guy who sells balloons in the park.
But just this is enough to make us feel that life is not so hopeless, the happiness that everyone wants, even in every small and humble life, there will be a shining bloom. Everyone is the protagonist of life, although we know that this is just a movie, but a fairy tale, we just prefer to believe it.
I even hope that it will come to my head. I have nothing, will you marry me?
[Are we still stubbornly holding on to our dreams?]
The flashback in the 4 and a half minutes at the beginning of the article was so touched that it was about those youthful dismissal and the dull and happy life.
What a fatal injury to a family without a child is, let alone Carl and Amy, a pair of people who yearn for children. They may have given the baby a name, just like the explorer they admired together. But the reality is so cruel, it will not give anyone perfect happiness. Perhaps happiness has never been created by God, but by the people in it. Just like Carl and Amy, without children, they are still happy because they have a common dream.
That is it, the dream, how many people have been thrown into an unknown corner, forgetting their persistence. Perhaps the happiness of Carl and Amy lies in their persistence in their dreams.
But in fact, what we have to persist is more than a dream.
[I am willing to change, will you?]
Life always makes people seem small and pale. Life is not stronger, but it is higher and higher from us. The smaller the smaller, the paler the paler.
Carl and Amy began to save money for their South American trip. They are not a rich family, or even a middle class, but they still work hard for their dreams, just because they are the other's dreams. But life does not favor anyone because of happiness. The hammer of reality smashed the jar full of coins one at a time, turned it into a repaired car tire, turned it into a repaired roof, and turned it into a repaired real life.
Reality always needs to be repaired, and happiness is the same. Reality and dreams are always incompatible. Two can only be happy.
There are always people who want to change, and there are always things to give up. For Amy, Stuff I'm going to do when I was young was to go to the impasse waterfall in South America, but now, it is a happy life together every moment, I don’t know when Old Carl saw the pictures of their lives pasted on the back of the album, could he experience the changes Amy made for happiness?
I am willing to give up my dreams for happiness, how about you?
[Happiness always leaves early, often too late, isn't it]
When Old Carl exchanged his savings for a plane ticket to South America, Amy was already sick.
We always complain, the sadness comes so without warning, but we never thought that happiness has already passed by. Amy left, took away all Carl's happy life, and left a house full of memories of the past. The house is not just a building. It is the container of our life. It is filled with all kinds of life. One high and one low sofa still stands there quietly, but one is always free. Old Karl is still accustomed to touching the two printed ones. A handprinted mailbox is like holding Amy's hand.
But, old Karl, you know, happiness has nothing to do with you ever since.
[The promise you made is the debt you owed, don’t you plan to pay it]
Maybe you shouldn’t say who owes and who pays it, and there is no debt between husband and wife.
In fact, that house was the debt of Old Karl, and he kept on it until he paid it off.
We should not believe in promises, and promises will never be fulfilled. But for the obsession with happiness, let us make promises time and time again, but the hammer of reality breaks it again and again, and it is us who hurt us.
In fact, there is no knack for happiness. To fulfill all the promises you have made, the life that has been dreamed of is the happiness you want.
