Those few fragments of life

I held my cough, but I heard your heavy breathing. I know you are crying, you are warmer and softer than I thought.

The lonely old man on the screen was sitting alone by the window at dusk. A few minutes ago, he was a little furry boy. He was holding a balloon and leaping across the Grand Canyon. He met Ellie, who has been with him all his life and is now in the frame of the mirror. At that time they got married, they held hands, built the house together, lay on the grass and watched the clouds together, climbed up the hillside to admire the sunset together, and planned to save money to see the legendary Paradise Waterfall, but they were taking care of their neckties and changing their ties. The triviality of the tire exhausted their great dreams. After the ordinary old age, his long life was condensed into a few fragments of white horses. He also changed from the original child who yearned for adventure to a solitary old man with only memories. His life was cut and desolate, which made people sad. And heart palpitations.

It's just such a warm and soft segment that touched your tears, and it made me feel like being gently swept across by a dog's tail grass. The life of old age together in the movie only used a few short pictures, so easy and easy, but I don't know when I will see you next time when I walk out of the cinema. Life is not a movie after all. I can’t hold down the pause button and let the time freeze on the days when you appear. All I can do is to look at you from a distance and feel at ease when you walk into the platform. But I also know that when you turn around, your world has already started to spin another wheel.

Pixar's movies are always moving in the simplicity of the protagonist. After all, it is because of the animated movies. Those cute little characters are emotionally persistent and simple to make the people off the screen envy. We can't do it, so we can only make up them to comfort our thirsty souls. Liao Yimei once said that deep feelings have never been related to satisfaction, and contentment can only belittle emotions. So while we staged an emotional drama of separation and combination in reality, we burst into tears at the virtual loyal love on the screen.

I used to think that if you like someone, you can really like all the forests all over the world fall to the ground, or if the tigers like the whole forest are turned into butter, but the reality is that such a strong feeling can often not last for a long time. Reservation seems to be more in line with our selfish and hypocritical human nature. Just like women often don’t remember the men who want to act as her protector but are obedient in front of her at that moment. On the contrary, what makes them fall into memories and sorrow is often unsparing in their hearts. The guy who made the cut.

Therefore, our original lonely and boring life needs those warm clips that can be used to remember. Maybe the days in the future will always be long and lost, but these clips can support us to the end, just like the old and hardened Like Carl, it was the power of those fond memories that realized the dream that his wife had never realized, and also promised the love vows agreed between them.

The adult stage of the movie actually ends here a long time ago, and there is already a children's playground behind it. For us, to watch a Pixar movie, you only need to watch a short paragraph. Even if the plot of those fairy tales is more amusing, just seeing the few fragments that can hit your heart a certain place is enough to make you in After watching the movie, I can't help but sigh slightly, such as "WALL•E", such as "Up".

You didn't watch "WALL•E" with me, but "Up" is long enough for me to remember. Maybe in the future I won't remember what was on the screen, but I can remember your tearful and cute look, because that will also become one of the most tender moments in my life.
