Living in the moment

Another Chinese translation of this film is called "Flying Over the Future", which tells the wonderful story of a twelve-year-old boy who made a wish to grow up quickly, but turned into an adult in his thirties the next day. The whole film is permeated with a strong 80s atmosphere: the computer is still an old and bulky desktop, you can find a job if you can type in a computer, there is no mobile phone, and fashionable girls like to perm their fluffy curly hair... While watching, I found a lot of details, full of is a memory.

I found out that Tom Hanks was already at his peak at that point. In the film, he vividly interprets the innocent and a little silly feeling of the adolescent boy.

After entering the adult world, the boy in the film not only found a good job, but also got a promotion and a salary increase. The most amazing thing is that they even talked about love. In the end, when his girlfriend found out the truth, she was in a dull and mixed mood. But this girlfriend has a special personality. The boy asked her if she also wanted to make a wish to go back to a younger age, and she said: No, it's so hard to survive until now.

I think if it were me, I wouldn't choose to go back to the past. It's not because of the underdevelopment of technology and the inconvenience of life in the past, but because of the current state of mind, if you live your childhood again, you must not be able to enjoy it properly. Every age has different feelings and desires, and it would be a pity to miss every experience. Although once so naive and ignorant, there are always regrets in life. Because of this, life is more precious. Live in the moment and be your best self every day.
