One weekend in May 2017, the wife of my Indian colleague asked me to watch a movie, and she wanted to choose one from la la land and lion. When I heard the name of la la land, I was a little tired of aesthetics. Not interested in the film. Knowing that Lion is a story about an Indian child who was adopted by an Australian couple, he strongly encouraged her to see Lion. Watching the first half of the episode, I was nervous all the time. I didn’t know what tragic things would happen to this little child. In the second half, I kept crying. I was crying so hard that I was too embarrassed to wipe it with a tissue. Finally, I got up after reading it for fear of being laughed at by my friends. When she opened her mouth, she found that her voice was hoarse, and she probably cried more than me. The next day my colleague saw me and laughed at how the two of us went to see a movie. Not only did we not relax, but we went home crying in a mess. After having a child, it is especially hard to see the story of the child's suffering. The ending of this story is not bad. The most unimaginable thing is that if this child is not adopted, what will happen to his fate.
Closer to home, this is a good pseudo-documentary, a promotional film promoting care for street children, and an introduction to the beautiful scenery of Tasmania. As a movie itself, it can only be said to be average. Especially in the section describing how he was suddenly inspired to find the landmarks of his hometown on google map, I rolled my eyes a little; he gave up his job because he was looking for his Indian family, and the family and girlfriend didn't make sense either. . The story itself is still too thin, but the reality is not that many twists and turns. So the suggestion is that if you don't want to cry too hard and feel bad, don't watch it.
Some people say that moving you so much is not a good movie, haha, if you know that I used to cry when I watched the Spring Festival Gala, you know that crying is definitely not the criterion for a good movie. Because it directly touches some of the conventional moving points of people, it is rather tacky. I think a really good film is touching and heartwarming at the same time, there is no lack of thinking, emotion and warmth. Regarding children, it is recommended to watch "Children of Heaven". After watching it, you will understand that the rank of Iranian movies is much higher than that of our Chinese movies. The warmth and spiritual cleanliness expressed in it is our movie forever. unobtainable.
