Cherish the present

The movie has a fairy tale color. A little boy who is dissatisfied with his life longs to grow up. Under the magic of a game console, he grows up overnight. He learns to work and is lucky enough to win a career and beauty with his child's mind. At the end of the story, he asked the heroine if she would like to turn back to 13 with him, and the heroine refused because she didn't want to look back on her painful upbringing.

I just happened to be fantasizing about the past today, wanting to go back to the past and change my life. For a moment, I was very, very eager. But I remember going back to my childhood and starting anew. I have to go through the painful experience of the death of my grandparents again, which is probably another kind of terrible. Childhood cannot be abandoned, and the past cannot be changed. The best choice is to live well in the present.

    Tom Hanks convinced the audience that this is really an adult with the soul of a 13-year-old boy, his eyes are clear and innocent, and his demeanor is cute and uncomfortable. When I was young, I wanted to grow up, and when I was an adult, I thought it was better when I was a child. This may be the feeling that everyone has. Josh should be grateful to him that he has a good friend Billy who will never leave. It is obvious that his family relationship is even more messed up, and the child's heart is not affected at all.

    I heard that the ending of the director back then was that when Hanks returned to class at the age of thirteen, a transfer student came, the 13-year-old heroine Susan, and the two laughed at each other. But this ending was met with protests by most teenagers' parents and blamed the weird values ​​and ethical issues hidden in it, so the movie came to an abrupt end. I also think that the ending is very good now. Not all feelings have to be belonged and ended. Wouldn't it be more beautiful to be able to cherish this memory in the heart.
