Emotions do not have to be placed

The portrayal of life and death is not the point, but the film is indeed sad, but it can't tell why it is sad. Maybe this is the emotion that the audience has nowhere to put! Henry is the main thread. He symbolizes beautiful things and pure humanity, but at the same time, he is full of contradictions. Our emotions are moved by him, and our body is yearned for, and there are times when he is powerless. We always want the most direct reunion, and the film tells us that life is sometimes twists and turns, and the truth is sometimes looming, but this will not change the essence of a good life! Emotions do not necessarily have to be placed somewhere, it is also peaceful to wander around and move with one's heart!

    It doesn't mean much. Naomi is obviously old, but a good mother.

    There are too many things to express in the whole movie, and it gives the impression that there is no mainline emotion and it is very chaotic. Originally thought to tell the story of how a mother who is overly dependent on a gifted son loses her son and uses the information left by her son to reinvigorate her life. But the mother woke up because she accidentally kicked the mechanism instead of the mechanism set by the son's plan. It would be meaningless to have so much foreshadowing in front of the genius child's setting that day.
