"Growing Up": Rediscovering the feeling of childhood

12 years old only once, people always have to grow up, the happiness of childhood will also drift away with growing up, just stay in a certain corner of memory.

These five cynical people, each with a large family, revisit the same place after 30 years, is the happiness still the same? Obviously, jokes and slaps from time to time are still the true nature of the old urchin. But behind the hilarity, every family has hard-to-read scriptures and a lot of problems, including strict wives, bankruptcy, headaches for children, and many failed marriages.

Now we are already used to the rhythm of the city, and the faces of interests under the reinforced concrete squeeze the living space again and again. Children's growth environment is also surrounded by computers, game consoles, and the Internet. What is the joy of childhood? It is estimated that only playing games is left. Once it is really outdoors, the simplest small games will not be played. For example, in the film floating a stone, swinging on a swing, and even playing small pranks with each other, hey, only a sigh is left.

Thinking about when I was a child, there were so many things to play with my friends after class and school, playing marbles, hopscotch, cigarette cards, stickers and so on. Looking back at the children around me, they have classes during the day, tutoring after school, and improvement classes and interest classes on weekends. They have no time to spare and are busier than adults. Playing this word means nothing to them, they don't even have time to play, so what do they do when they are finally free? Make up for it!

In fact, the film does not have much meaning, it is to awaken everyone's childhood memories, not to mention, there are so many laughs, there are a few times that make people laugh, it is quite suitable for families to watch.

    This kind of warm and funny movie is the most loving. By the way, I hope that in 20 years, our buddies can play a ball together again.
