Believe in Dreams——After Viewing "The Polar Express"

A wonderful trip to the North Pole, fulfilling the dream that the little boy Klaus firmly believed.

"The Polar Express" tells the story of a young boy, Klaus, who insists on believing in the existence of Santa Claus, despite his parents and friends around him telling him that he doesn't exist. Therefore, he was often ridiculed by his peers, but he never wavered in his faith. Finally, Klaus's persistence paid off. One Christmas Eve, a huge The Polar Expree parked in front of his house. The conductor asked him if he wanted to go to the North Pole. Take the train with other companions to visit the legendary Santa Claus. At the North Pole, they were all immersed in the atmosphere of joy, and finally he received the first gift from Santa Claus - a small bell on the reindeer. However, because his pocket was broken, he lost the little bell. The second time, when he got home, he saw a gift from Santa Claus, but. His parents thought the bell was broken, but he knew that only those who believed in Santa Claus could hear the bell's crisp ringing.

After watching this film, what struck me the most was what happened on the way to the North Pole. If he lost the little girl's ticket during the ticket check, he must help her get it back. Regardless of the harsh environment outside the car, he ran to the garage and met a homeless man and chased the ticket with him. , and eventually he ran back to the carriage out of breath, to his dismay that he didn't catch the ticket. This made me feel the warmth of love and the understanding and help among my peers. They help each other in the same carriage and solve the difficulties, which is worth learning from.

I thought the film was going to show a kind of kid immersed in the joyous atmosphere of Christmas. The Christmas spirit it shows is to strengthen one's own beliefs and walk in the direction of beliefs. Just as the little boy in the film firmly believes in the existence of Santa Claus, regardless of the cynicism of his friends around him, he pursues his own beliefs as always. In fact, we should do the same, no matter what the school's facilities are, we must adhere to the belief that we come to the university to realize our dreams, rather than miss the old school. We must believe that the past has become history, face the reality, strengthen our beliefs, and realize our self-worth.

In the end, my impression is that children's innocence and fantastic fantasies come from their curiosity about the world. We should not kill their curiosity, but respect them. Like the homeless man in the film who always makes the noise "Santa doesn't exist" to the little boy Klaus, and the train conductor takes them to the North Pole to see the real Santa, they form a stark contrast, which also highlights The journey of chasing a dream cannot be smooth sailing, there will always be thorns. Everyone has a wonderful dream in their heart. To make the dream come true, you should act instead of doubting the dream. Believe in dreams, believe in the future, believe that your path is different!

    If I was a kid, it would have been irritating

    The whole surprise plus the final "if you believe it exists." Without the last moral. This movie, you -- worth forgetting. If there is such an implication, it would be so-so-so.
