a little more than a tragedy

Luckily, the first time I watched this movie was with my best friend. I remember that it was raining that day. We went to a small shop behind the school to rent a VCD and go back to the dormitory to watch it. Later, this plate was never returned, and the deposit of 10 yuan is still in the hands of the boss. This is the first and only time I have left a rental disc without returning it.

I remember we both burst into tears when I removed the disc from the optical drive, and I knew there was something that struck me. On that rainy summer day, watching Eric put a shoe off Dexter's feet into the river at the end of the credits, a blazing sun shone on the water, on the teenager's shoulders and shiny hair, the shoe Drifting away in the golden current makes it hard to believe that this is a tragedy, although we all knew it from the beginning.

I sometimes think of this movie when I'm sitting alone in front of the TV at night with nothing to do. So I took it out of the drawer and put it in the DVD to watch it by myself for a while, no need to finish it. Start anywhere, and watch for as long as you want.

There is a touch of warmth throughout the whole film, there is the friendship between the two children, the strength of the mother, the morality of the doctor, and the nostalgia for life. When Eric took off his shoes and handed them over to dexter again, he didn't need to repeat what he said, because dexter must be holding that stinky sneaker tightly in the depths of the dark universe, and the smell of the shoes made him Knowing that he is not alone, that his friends are still by his side. From that moment on, Eric was no longer the lonely, silent teenager before the summer vacation.

The short summer vacation is like a fleeting dream, allowing the two children to experience the most precious time in their lives, and let us in front of the screen know how to cherish each other.

    Dexter: I'd wait till you're finished and then I'd continue working on my mud fort.

    Erik: You mean you'd just let me beat you up?

    Dexter: I'd try to stop you but I probably wouldn't be able to, I'm not very big.
