I love this blue so much

When I think of Ai Qing's poem, why are there always tears in my eyes, because I love the land deeply. Now it's here with just a few changes, and it's a bit of a fit. Walking on the road today, I saw the gloomy sky in Beijing that seemed to rain at any time. Looking at the bustling traffic and crowds on the North Fourth Ring Road, I suddenly felt at ease for no reason. The world in front of me is running blandly and uniquely, just like the people in front of me, living my ordinary and unique life. Most of the people running in my life are the people I saw on the road in Beijing today. I can't say that there are any dreams worth boasting or even mentioning, but they are people who are living step by step and fulfilling their lives. And it is these people, these ordinary people like me who are real, who rarely struggle, and who toss and turn about things like me, really move me. The teenager in the film did not do it.
Personally, I don't like this film, and I wrote this film review just because I remembered another film with a similar theme, but with a completely different spiritual connotation - blue sea and blue sky. Watching this film, I always compare it with "blue sea and blue sky" unconsciously. It's all about the ocean, and it's all about a teenager's thrilling journey in the face of the blue sky of the origin of life. However, there is no doubt that this film is at most a biographical film. It can be called "hot blood" when it is too big, because it has too much American-style violence and conquest, and lacks the romantic elegance and tranquility of France. In my opinion, it's a judgment call. I vaguely remember those blue eyes, the face that seemed to be inhumane, and the scenes after scenes of miraculous dancing with dolphins in the sea. That beautiful dizzy blue is no longer as simple as the blood boiling brought about by this sense of conquest, but a real calm and epiphany. Just like the ordinary people around us, walking on the road unaware that their every move in this world seems so thrilling or peaceful to some people. Unbeknownst to them, they made me, a bystander, feel a peaceful bliss.
At the last moment when the teenager rushed out of the waves, if it was me six or seven years ago, my blood would boil, but today, in my opinion, this is the greatest blasphemy against life and contempt for nature. I do not comment on challenging the limit, however, still mention the blue sea and blue sky. I hope that, like the Greek boy, we can have our deepest love for the sea instead of conquering it.
The road in Beijing is straight and straight. Finally, I don't know if it rained at the end, because the screens are too thick.
