The older you get, the more vulgar

The 1988 movie, when Tom Hanks was still fiddling with all sorts of constellations in front of the screen. Watching this movie 21 years after its release, the plot is indeed very ordinary, but I don't see it as an ordinary movie. In my opinion, it is a movie full of irony.
The film reflects all kinds of real society.
*The self-righteousness of adults, they always think they are right.
*People will be polished by society to be homogenized, everyone is like something produced from a mold.
*Innocent people become vulgar. In a big dye vat, no one is exempt from the custom.

Some people say that the ending of the film is a blasphemy of love, on the contrary, I think it is an idealistic ending. If the heroine left the hero at the end of the film, maybe the irony of the movie would be even greater---- I don't like your character itself, I like only your genitals.

    Little boy, a lot of worries, wish to grow up and leap forward to the future. Uncle Hanks performed the juvenile attitude of "mature appearance, ignorant heart" just right. Although the adult world is wonderful, there are many helplessnesses. When you look back, you will find that the carefree, heartless youth is the most exciting Yearning, I hope we can all become adults with a childlike heart forever. ps. After the protagonist, he ran to relax, and the girl would continue to stay alone in the adult world, hey~

    When we were very young, we all hoped that we could grow up quickly, have our own freedom, not be limited by the discipline of our parents, and do not need to get tired of unfinished homework every day. However, the adult world also has many troubles. The boss and heroine in the film are attracted by Josh because they see the innocence that is rarely seen in adults. And this innocence is only available when we are children, because at that time we had simple thoughts. 小时候的我们,打闹爱哭挨揍,但我们很快乐这种快乐是发自内心的快乐。When we grow up, our happiness is often faked, and more of the happiness of desire satisfaction. So cherish the good memories of your childhood, you will grow up eventually, but the happiness you experience will be yours alone.
