Even a life in desperation can be happy

Suddenly I remembered this film again. When I first watched it, especially at the beginning of the film, I thought it was incredible. How could there be such an unlucky person, and how could there be such a dead frame. It is miserable enough to lose my motherland, and it is still Was deemed stateless and therefore unable to receive any protection and support? It's ridiculous - but what I didn't expect was that I saw a show a while ago and learned that this is an adaptation of a real thing, and the original author who experienced this incident has been trapped for fifteen years.

In fifteen years, some of the best times of my life have passed by a palm-sized airport — too small and too small for the outside world.
I haven't read a book, and I don't know how similar it is to the content of the movie, but just these fifteen years have been desperate enough.

What will happen to me instead? What happens if the defendant loses everything and can't get help?

So it makes sense to suddenly think of this film at this time. Regardless of whether it is far from the original, but I see that positive, strong and optimistic spirit in this film. In an era when many people are calling depressed, melancholy fashion, or feeling hopeless about the future, which includes myself, more and more people feel like the spirit in the film is necessary. , Required.

Watching Tom Hanks wandering around the airport hungry and finding a hamburger to fill his hunger and discovering the small money-making errand of recycling a trolley, I really feel that when people get there, they can find everything they can do, and look at it. When he was content to chew the burger, I was happy for him in my heart.
So from then on, we have seen this guy busy up and down in the airport, everything that can continue life, and then can make life better, and finally become friends and even close friends with everyone here. Indivisible, this is a very impressive and inspiring process.

For him, the airport is a desperate situation that he cannot get out of, but in this desperate situation, he did his best to create the best life possible. Isn't it good?

Therefore, for me, this film did not seem so important for him to regain his freedom in the end. Stepping out of the airport may be the most exciting and eager for him, but what really corresponds to what I need is that he was Everything created during this period of sleepiness. A world that is not perfect, but still full of hope, optimism, and makes oneself happy.
