It involves Death, and hot topics of teenagers, so its tone is generally dark, but the gray is jumping, the temperament of youth emerges from time to time, and the film often flashes bright, such as cute girls, lovers in love, and kindness The lively little siblings of our Chinese neighbors. I have to admit that life is painful and happy, and we cry because of happiness in depression. The two emotions set off each other, and everything inevitably hides a shadow on the back of the sun. From the very beginning, the expectation of the girl named "April" was in sharp contrast with the resentment and helplessness faced by some members of her family who faced the long journey.

At this time, "April" is still carefully arranging the Thanksgiving feast, waiting for the arrival of relatives, waiting for the quarrel with them, waiting for the future love, waiting for the mother who will die soon. A beautiful memory, waiting for a long-lost family fun, but I don't know who made a joke, and the waiting became a bubble.

The film is so bland that it is almost inhumane. "April" ran downstairs to greet his family, but they were nowhere to be seen. In despair, he crawled on the bed and burst into tears. The climax of the plot development was handled calmly and restrained until his mother Suddenly, the mother and daughter were surprised when they met. After a while, the two embraced each other and cried with joy. The calm and soothing music sounded, and the previous film did not use any music background.

Life is always changed by some small events that pass us by, maybe that is the hint that life gives us. "April"'s mother witnessed a mother-daughter quarrel in the bathroom of the restaurant and suddenly realized that she was absent from "April"'s growing up, blindly disgusted and rejected, but also ignored the responsibility of being a mother. The opportunity to read "April" was given. The last guilt, the last chance to make up for it, also gave the film the warm and heart-warming color that was rising at the end of the film. The film introduction on the cover of the DVD says that this is a movie that makes people cry and laugh, and it really is.
