Some people live in fairy tales.

Such as an omnipotent father. He was born like a fish, learned the secret of death from the eyes of a witch, led the giant to run away from home, resisted the temptation of heaven, pursued his beloved girl with his life, and even saved a small town.

However, not everyone likes his story, such as his only son. Because in his father's fantasy adventure story, he is just a small footnote. After hearing the same story hundreds of times, the son finally decided to leave the castle his father had woven for him, and he didn't want to believe his fairy tales anymore.

This is a movie about fatherly love, but this is not the topic I want to talk about today.

In the story of his father, the protagonist is the smartest big fish in the world. From the day of birth, my father tried to catch it by all means. On the day his son was born, the father used the wedding ring as a bait to catch the fish he dreamed of. The last time my son heard this story was at his wedding. At the end of the story, my father said: Sometimes, the best way to catch a woman who cannot be caught is to put a ring on her.

Big fish is his father's destiny and his love. The protagonist of his story is the girl he loves all his life, his son's mother. When my father was young, he once came to a heavenly town. Legend has it that there is a fish in the lake that can see through people's desires. If you pursue money, then you will see a box of floating gold coins; if you pursue fame and fortune, perhaps you will see the crown of the king. However, his father saw a girl from the back, he wanted to get close, but she escaped.

On the day of death, all the characters in the father's story appeared on the bank of the river. The son walked into the river holding his father while the mother was standing there waiting for them. The father stroked his mother's chin affectionately, took off his ring and gave it to her. "My girl in the river." These were his last words. Then, my father lay in the water, turned into a big fish, and disappeared in the river.

I couldn't help but shed tears when I saw it. The son finally understood that he shouldn't be bothered by his father's stories, because these stories were told to his mother from beginning to end. My father used this sentence when he described how he met his mother: That day, Karl met his destiny, and I also met mine.

What a beautiful story. Father used his whole life to turn his life into a fairy tale, so that he and his girl can live happily in this fairy tale forever. But fairy tales do not mean that there are no waves, ZZ, this is exactly what I want to tell you. When the father in the story spent three years waiting, and finally had the opportunity to tell his mother: "From the first moment I saw you, I knew that I was destined to marry you." When I found out , She was wearing someone else's ring on her hand.

If everything comes to an abrupt end, regret will become a beautiful story. After all, "sometimes people have to learn to fight for their own destiny, and sometimes they have to learn to accept it." It's done, and only fools will continue to work hard. Unfortunately, he has always been a fool. He used his life to pursue the favor of fate, and finally got her.

This is the perfect story. The prince has to throw away Cinderella before he can find her with the crystal shoes; the prince Bai Xue first dies before he can be seen in the crystal coffin. The fairytale-like perfect love is not about not quarreling or breaking up, but still insisting on the determination to love her after repeated setbacks and misunderstandings.

  • Young Ed Bloom: There are some fish that cannot be caught. It's not that they're faster or stronger than other fish. They're just touched by something extra.

  • Will Bloom: A man tells his stories so many times that he becomes the stories. They live on after him, and in that way he becomes immortal.
