Re-watching with the children on Sunday, the most memorable thing was the words the protagonist said before the boy pulled the tail out of his pants. He chattered and told the boy not to be afraid. Later I realized that I was "trapped in the dark for 26 years, but I still became like my father (only admonishment)." Telling others not to be afraid is of no help at all. The true empathy should be to understand and accept The fear of others. Only by "seeing" the feelings of others and being with him in the heart is the greatest help.
