what that boy taught me

After watching it twice, I realized that this movie is good.

Rather than telling the story of a little boy's shy crush, it's better to say that this precocious and wise boy awakens the heroine's inner hope for life and music.

Eleanor and Reggie's first meeting sealed their relationship of redemption. Eleanor walked into the elegant and profound conservatory with the uneasy feeling of being a babysitter for the first time, walked through the tortuous and deep corridor, opened the door and saw Reggie in a dress playing the cello. At that moment, the golden light in the room illuminated half of Eleanor's face. . But when she got closer, she cried.

The

second time Reggie's piano sounded, she followed the music and walked down the winding stairs, pushed open the doors of this ancient house, and saw Reggie playing again, this time, the white Eleanor smiled briskly as his eyes fell on her clean, youthful face.



Reggie is not an ordinary child. He has the sophistication of an adult and will use money to refuse things he doesn't like to do, but he also has the innocence of a child. He accompanied Eleanor back to the chaotic family to see her who was seriously ill 's father. This is the opportunity for them to get to know each other deeply. Eleanor told him that he was a cornett player, talked about his love for music, and talked about his ex-boyfriend during the late night chat. At this point in the story, we have uncovered the various mysteries in front of us. Eleanor's tears when he first met Reggie came from the pain of giving up music. The movie title "like sunday, like rain" is the name of the music composed by Reggie himself. On this night, they reached an agreement that each other could not give up their music.

They are finally parting, seeing how much this little boy can say sweet love words: "It's hard to believe it's only been a couple of months. I feel like i've known you...i have all these words, these things...things i feel i need to say to you, only now. Something i don't know the capacity to speak." The excited little boy seemed to want to confess, but Eleanor stopped him and gave him a hug and kiss with her usual warm smile , wish him a good boy.

parting


The end of the movie is the best ending when they both have their faces staggered as they each play their own instruments.
