As real as your long hair

I want to write a paragraph, but I have
a thousand words hidden in the title but I don’t know how to say
hello, five-year-old Jack. Hello, luck. Hello, Dan Dan Snake. Hello, room.
Just like the beginning of the film, the little boy says good to the entire world in the room.
All objects have their names, their destiny, and their feelings. They are independent and complete, living in a small space.
At the end, I also bid farewell to the entire world once,
but the door that has been opened since then can no longer be closed.

I haven't seen such a realistic movie in a long time.
Just like a piece of news that I have heard before, this time it is a more three-dimensional report.
The audience enters the story from the perspective of the little boy,
and then follows the little boy’s worldview to understand his life and the story of his mother.
We followed a five-year-old child to explore this world with many spaces but only one time, accepting reality and digesting pain.
Dedicate the long hair that symbolizes power to the one you love the most, change for her, and lead her forward.


Who dares to say that the film does not cure, the story is on the road of self-salvation, the
little boy is a mirror of the mother, and the longing for the good and the life are sealed in the mirror.
The move in the film is to tear up all the illusions that give life. The reality is painful and straightforward,
but you can also find the beauty in human nature and emotions.
Of course she is a good mother, at least in the room, giving little jack the most complete love.
People who do not live in the room will not understand that even the police, doctors and reporters can't imagine the
fairy tales, the companionship of maternal love, and the joy of faith everywhere in a one-inch room.

Is it freedom or happiness that is precious? !
Which one is heavier, unfree happiness or free unhappiness? !
In the room, what is imprisoned is the freedom of life, but it separates the complexity and cruelty of reality.
As a beautiful faith, children cannot stop happiness.



Not warm, how sad, the little boy said "I love you, grandma",
but his tears couldn't hold back anymore.
The child’s life philosophy is so thorough, what he has
seen is true, and what he hasn’t seen may not exist.
When you feel love, you have the power to accept another world
without abandoning the value of the previous world, but the door is opened, and it is small enough to integrate into the new world.
