snow is softly falling.
Dreams are calling
like bells in the distance. Children sleeping peacefully
, snowflakes fluttering quietly, dream fields gently awakened like distant bells...
With the movie "The Polar Express" With the melody of the theme song "Believe", we entered that quiet and peaceful night as described in the beginning of the song... On
Christmas Eve with snowflakes, the little boy Klaus was lying on the bed, looking forward to hearing Santa Claus on his sleigh. ring. Although I was a little worried in my heart, I was afraid that I couldn't hear the ringtone I wanted to hear, and I was afraid that all this was just an illusion in my heart, but I still waited firmly. The conversation of his parents comforting his sister to rest early deepened his doubts, so he quietly got up and opened the documents to check. When he saw the words "Dovoid of life" written by the explorers, he couldn't help but close the book without hesitation. When his parents came in, he quietly went back to the bed and closed his eyes. Mother thought he was asleep, and couldn't help but sigh that at this time of day, he was crying to see Santa Claus. The father sighed and said that the old days are over, and the innocence is no longer. After saying good night softly, his parents walked out of his room. He opened his eyes and recalled his father's words over and over again. Time was ticking, and he tossed and turned but couldn't fall asleep, until the sound of the whistle pierced the tranquility of the night sky. He got up and saw, in disbelief, a train parked in front of his house. The conductor shouted loudly for people to get on the train, he walked over, and after asking the conductor, he knew that this car was the polar express to the North Pole. Facing the question of the train conductor getting on the train, he couldn't help but take a few steps back in horror, but when he saw the train start, he was driven by the belief in his heart, jumped on the train, and started a strange journey.
Trains move quickly to their journey's end.
Destinations are where we begin again.
Ships go sailing far across the sea.
Trusting starlight, to get where they need to be.
Through dark and cold forests, through wilderness where wolves roam , over many mountains... After a thrilling journey, they finally Arrived at the North Pole - a big city built on top of the world, full of factories making Christmas toys.
At the North Pole, he participated in the Christmas celebration, and was lucky enough to be selected by Santa Claus and received the first gift of Christmas - a silver bell on Santa's sleigh. This silver bell is a very special gift, only those who believe in the existence of Santa Claus and stick to their beliefs will hear its bell.
When the clock strikes midnight, Santa gets into his sleigh and disappears into the sky with gifts from children all over the world. Klaus also took the Polar Express home with his friends. On the train, he was dismayed to find that the silver bell Santa had given him was lost due to a hole in his pocket.
The next morning, he was woken up happily by his sister, walked to the living room, and saw his sister's Christmas present - a train. Under the Christmas tree, he found a small gift box that contained the small silver bell. He picked up the small silver bell and shook it in his ear, when the crisp bell came, he laughed and understood the meaning of his insistence on faith. At this time, the parents came over and picked up the small silver bell, but they couldn't hear the bell.
As the years go by, many former friends can no longer hear the bell, and even one day, even his sister said that he can't hear it, only he can hear it all the time, only he has always believed in Santa Claus Only he has always adhered to the belief in his heart.
The theme of the film is a sobering question, the persistence of faith. This belief is not necessarily just the belief in the existence of Santa Claus mentioned in the film, but can also be understood as the persistence of dreams, and the persistence of certain things deep in the heart.
As the theme song "Believe" sings:
We were dreamers not so long ago.
But one by one we all had to grow up.
Not long ago, we were all so innocent and full of dreams, but as time passed, we had to grow up. When the color of the fairy tale fades gradually, the magic of magic slowly disappears, and we are growing day by day. Many good things in the past have gradually settled and turned into smoke and dust in memory.
Should we sigh, time flies, or should we be grateful that we have grown up quietly?
Growth is always a complicated topic, because in the process, there are both gains and losses. This kind of process sometimes makes people feel very confused, not knowing whether what they got is what they want, and sometimes when they think about it, they feel heartache. It is this kind of contradiction that makes us hesitate again and again, get lost again and again, and want to find ourselves again in the fog.
The journey ahead is arduous, and faced with many choices, there will be confusion that is difficult to decide. Faced with many factors that make us confused, should we insist on what we have seen (or be stubborn and go our own way), or listen to other people's opinions (or be said to have no opinion and go with the flow)? We are not prophets... so, how should we decide?
I think the lyric in "Believe" is the best answer to this question.
Believe in what your heart is saying,
hear the melody that's playing.
There's no time to waste,
there's so much to celebrate.
Believe in what you feel inside,
And give your dreams the wings to fly.
You have everything you need,
f you just believe.
Believe what you think in your heart, listen to the words of your heart, and add wings to your dreams... Stick to your beliefs, and you will eventually get what you want.
I remember a sentence I read in other reviews about The Polar Express, and I was very impressed:
For those who hold fast to their faith, the wonder of life will never go away.
Very inspiring sentence. The crisp melody of that little silver bell is the best compliment to those who stick to their beliefs.
