(I accidentally dug out a 2007 film review assignment and sent it out just to commemorate that young self)
In the West, Christmas is the cradle of many children's dreams. They dream in Christmas, benefit from Christmas, and grow up in Christmas.
In the East, children's dreams are haunted by colorful fairy tales, and perhaps, they will not believe in the existence of Santa Claus.
It would be best to send this film to children all over the world who have doubts about Santa Claus.
Believe! BELIEVE! That's the theme of this film.
Believe in Christmas, believe in Santa, believe in fairy tales, believe in dreams, believe in yourself.
There are tons and tons of films about how people should believe in life, believe in miracles, but this belief can only penetrate into my cerebral cortex, not into our bones. "The Polar Express" is a film that really touched me. When I first saw it for the first time, I was shocked by his special effects: the train rushed down a huge height difference, the boy was sliding on the snow-covered roof, and three children fell into the gift conveyor belt. After watching the whole film, I feel like I just finished my adventure. However, when I watched it for the second time after a month, another feeling gradually emerged, getting stronger and stronger. When I faced it squarely, I found that it was actually moved!
Yes, as we get older, there are so many things in life that we take for granted as impossible. We feel that equipped with advanced knowledge, we can judge everything rationally. We don't even want to fantasize (in modern society, fantasy is seen as a waste of time and ignorance) We laugh at fantasy people who, like young children, are the richest group in the spiritual world... In the film's In the end, when the boy picked up the lost and found bell, my heart also became happy; but when his mother took the bell and shook it and found that there was no sound, I couldn't help feeling inexplicably uncomfortable. Yes, she believed it was a broken bell, just as she believed there would be no Santa Claus and no Polar Express. Then, he recounted that as he got older, even his sister couldn't hear the silver bell, which seemed to imply that only those who were innocent and believed in miracles could hear the melodious bell, and could experience it forever and ever Satisfaction and joy brought by ringtones. In the last scene of the film, the scene at the beginning is repeated again. The boy (more precisely, the boy who should be an adult) holds the bell tightly and locks his eyes. He seems to be enjoying, and seems to be struggling to keep this String sound.
Sometimes a lot of people's distress and unhappiness come from people's disbelief, but in fact, many times, why do we care so much about the truth of things? A rational scientific solution sacrifices childhood fantasies and pleasures, which I would rather not trade.
I still remember the story of the monkey fishing for the moon when I was a child. In fact, putting a basin of clear water in the moonlight and watching the bright moon appear in the basin is such an indescribable wonderful feeling. But smart adults always go out of their way to tell us the truth, and even the monkeys in that story have become poor villains.
When we fantasize about the kingdom where Doraemon lives on the clouds, we are told that the clouds are composed of countless small water droplets, and it is impossible for people to stand on the clouds, let alone a kingdom. So along with disappointment, we bid farewell to fairy tales, and we do not want to believe it easily.
If your childish innocence has been lost, if your faith is shaken, if your dream is blocked, if your hope is hopeless, "Pole Express" will be able to retrieve your innocence, strengthen your belief, and be able to. Inspire your dreams, and you can summon lost hope.
Watch this magical polar express trip, watch the innocent children taste thick hot chocolate, listen to their beautiful songs at the back of the car, and feel their hearts moved. Watch the aurora float, change, appear and disappear in front of your eyes, and your thoughts follow it; watch the fictional Arctic Christmas paradise, which is gorgeous and exudes unparalleled light in the distance; watch the elves distribute gifts, each gift is It is to win a child's sweet smile; to see Santa Claus shining on the stage, sprinkled with love and warmth; to see a little boy get Santa's first gift at the beginning of the new year, bewildered silently, because he doesn't believe all this, from believing From that moment, I heard the bell and heard the cheers; I saw the final answer on the children's respective tickets, including LEAD and BELIEVE.
The fantasy journey also has an end, just like it has just started, and my heart is still full of freshness and curiosity. When the little boy reluctantly said goodbye to The Polar Express, he saw that everything was the same as before, the night was deep and the town was quiet, but his heart was full of excitement. With fond memories of the trip, he fell asleep, sweetly.
At the dawn of dawn, the little boy opened his hazy eyes, and he would rather treat that adventure as a sweet dream. But Santa's first gift appeared in front of him, he picked up the bell and shook it gently. Hearing how crisp it is, my sister clapped her little hands too. But his parents sighed: "What a pity, the bell is broken." I don't believe it, how can I hear the bell?
We all have a little bell in our hearts.
Let us believe that we have never seen Santa Claus, perhaps because he is too busy; believe that Santa Claus loves and cares for all children, no matter how poor or rich; believe that all dreams and miracles, as long as you believe, will one day come true...
Perhaps, one day in the future, we won't believe in Santa Claus, we won't believe in fantasy, and we won't hear the bell.
And I will choose to believe, to believe that everything is beautiful, to believe that everything will be beautiful, to believe in this beautiful world and beautiful dreams!
Let's believe together!
