Innocent soul, lovely big man

I always thought that learning to be a human being in laughter, learning to face life bravely is the style of American animation.
Unexpectedly, encountering a movie that makes me cry happily, things always have accidents, but it is a beautiful accident. Good works can mobilize people’s feelings, because of the characters’ sorrow and sorrow, because of the characters’ joy, and even because of the characters’ feelings. Only at this moment can I have the feeling of connecting with others, especially with many people. Watching a moving work together, when you look back, the montage of light envelops the faces soaked in water, you will instantly think that some magic happened, otherwise, how could it keep raining? I often watch movies so much that I forget what is wet on a person's face. It's a pity that I watched this film alone, and I couldn't see how magic works on others.
I like the nerd skinny monkey, the little boy who saved the steel monster. Facing the unknown, fear is human instinct, but there are always people who approach the truth with innocent curiosity; he likes the big cute man with his eyes Quite simply, the cracks in the eyelids are slanted, giving people a dull feeling. At first glance, they look like an honest and good boy. Under the cold iron skin, he is a child-like soul. He does not want to be a weapon to kill lives, but he wants to be like a superman. A good person, even if he disappears, he still exists alive. In his eyes, the world is so beautiful. It is only us spectators who are sad, because such beautiful things have deeply hurt the prejudice and selfishness of mankind. Every now and then , I really want to protect, protect that pure soul, the true hero. Everyone has their own weapons, but no one can feel the pain of others and stop when hurting others. This is an unavoidable choice for individuals, but deep in the soul, we still look forward to the existence of beyond ourselves, the great Existence, the selfless God-like existence offers us redemption. In fact, it is the choice of the self to harm others for their own existence, or to sacrifice oneself for the existence of others.
I hate the traditional moral indoctrination model in China. What is the real virtue? It comes from the heart and does what it does. It is not a social convention, it is not acting against one’s intentions. Everyone is responsible for their own souls and for their actions, not because they are from a certain family, a certain country, but just because you are you. , You make your own choice. Virtue should be shown by this high degree of respect for life. Real education is a process, a process that allows people to find answers for themselves, rather than piling up endless results to make people remember. That is the practice of people without souls, and people can only degenerate into machines. I believe that anyone who sees such a pure and beautiful work can understand what kindness is, what is virtue, and what is beauty. There is no need for more abstract and old details.
Please use some rough and awkward fingers to touch those fragile and sensitive lives, no longer alienate and hate, just a little bit of mutual understanding.
