"London River", a relatively unpopular movie I saw a few years ago, tells the story of the intersection of a white mother and a black father who went to London to find their lost children after the London terrorist attack in 2005. In 2005, I happened to be in the UK. Although I didn't directly experience this incident, I was very shocked, especially when I went to the airport to pick up people. It was the first time I saw so many police officers with live ammunition. It was the first time I felt that such a beautiful and inclusive city was close to death. So close, this feeling is also there when watching 007 "Skyfall". For the first time, the villain is making a big splash on the London subway and the streets that were once familiar enough to remember when you close your eyes.
Apart from this relationship, the whole play is also very smooth and comfortable, natural and calm, especially the two protagonists, at first glance, they are very ordinary British town people who have never been to a big city in their entire life. Unfamiliar places, little by little traces of children, not sensational, very moving, and the subtlety of the invisible gap between different races gradually bridged under the very simple common goal. Of course, there is also the eternal protagonist, who is silent, never steals the show, but is everywhere, making people's eyes not want to move the streets of London.
