two great mothers

The first time I shed tears while watching the film, Salo recalled that he trotted to Shishan where his mother was working, took out a yellow mango from his waist, and the mother and child took one bite.

It reminded me of the picture of my mother peeling fruit for me when I was a child. My mother's hands were soft and delicious, and the peeled fruit was even sweeter. My mother's hand touched her face and her legs were warm and comfortable. a feeling of.

The second time I cried was when my adoptive mother in Australia had a heart-to-heart talk with Salo about why she adopted the child instead of giving birth herself.

"There are already enough people in the world. We will not make the world a better place by having one more child, but we will adopt a child and give you the opportunity to integrate into the world, which is more meaningful."

Shocked me at once

When my adoptive mother brought Salo home, my heart was still, will adopting a child really love with heart? Why do you have to have children?

But when I truly understand the thoughts of my adoptive mother, I feel that what people have between them is not only to draw strength from each other, but many things that are meaningful to them may not necessarily lead to a fulfilling life.

In the second half of the movie, with constant memories, people with big scenery and small people, people near distant mountains, I seem to really feel the pain of not getting what I want.

Mixed with missing, regret, guilt, expectation, and unknown complex emotions, it is difficult to express in words. But the director's interspersed performance with the lens is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

A simple story that can touch people's hearts must be delicate feelings.

A crying movie, love.

    Sue Brierley: That's one of the reasons I fell in love with your dad.

    Sue Brierley: Because we both felt as if... the world has enough people in it. Have a child, couldn't guarantee it will make anything better. But to take a child that's suffering like you boys were. Give you a chance in the world. That's something.

  • Saroo Brierley: Do you have any idea what it's like knowing my real brother and mother spent every day of their lives looking for me? Huh? How every day my real brother screams my name? Can you imagine the pain they must be in not knowing where I am?
