I watched the movie "Miracle Boy" several times. It is not particularly catchy. There is no exciting plot that makes the adrenal hormones soar, and there is no tense atmosphere that makes people want to stop. The slow plot is not novel. But because of the young actor's outstanding acting skills, it was a little tear-jerking.

The little male protagonist Auggie was born with a flawed face and looked like a "little monster. He is sensitive, inferior, and dare not deal with people. His birth also took away more love that belonged to his sister Wei Ya.

Originally, the time spent by her parents was largely given to Auggie, and even she had to give some love to her brother. She suffers from being ignored. As a sister, she may be considered to be sensible earlier, but she also has a lot of worries and loneliness.

Auggie met Jack, the first friend who was willing to accept him, and this was Auggie's first window to socialize. For him, a friend can be a puppy Daisy, a toy, or even an astronaut helmet, but a living person who does not discriminate or dislike him gives him the confidence to face other people.

From Jack, to Summer, to Amos, more and more people began to accept Auggie. In fact, getting along with Auggie will not lower the grade of some people, nor will it make people feel disgusting, just like The bell ringer in "Notre Dame de Paris", he is very kind-hearted, but like Julian, he has a beautiful skin, but he has to make trouble all day long, and he is not allowed by this school.

But then again, what makes me more embarrassed is the conversation between Julian's mother and the headmaster, and she obviously doesn't like Augie either. As the saying goes, everyone has a love for beauty. Although it is not wise to judge people by their appearance, the first contact between people does not start with a pair of skins.

The principal said that Auggie can't change its appearance, but everyone can change their eyes on him. Julian's mother responded, I will tell this to the real society. As said in the movie "The Furnace", the reason why we work hard is not to change the world, but to prevent the world from changing us , the same inspiration, the same direct hit on the chest, but the real society is not a mess , the ugly is still ugly, the mean is still mean. Our sometimes efforts can neither change the society nor the reality that we will be swayed by the society.

A movie is a movie, a one- to two-hour adventure away from the real world, where you can encounter touching and sad resonances. Auggie encountered a good environment, he relieved his defenses, turned himself from a little monster into a normal person, and he gained friends, which was a good start for his life. However, it is precisely because of the presence of people like Julian that he can realize that the road in the future may be more difficult and there will be more setbacks.

As for her sister Wei'an, she is invisible in the movie from sadness to joy. Her grandmother who loved her the most died, her best friend was estranged, and her parents always selectively ignored her, which made her very lonely, but after meeting Justin, Everything is fine. She has gained a boyfriend, her parents' re-care, and her best friend's return, all of which are very successful. We all know that the moon is cloudy and sunny, and there is a price behind all happy stories. This society is a competitive society. Children should not rely on the kindness of others to accept them, but rely on their own efforts to reap the corresponding rewards. .

Augie, it would be hard to get a place at school if he hadn't met Jack. And the price Jack paid was breaking with his former friends, even fighting at school, and risking being suspended from his scholarship.

Wei An, if she hadn't met Justin and joined the stage club by accident, she might not have been able to reunite with her best friend, nor would she have had the opportunity to express herself on the stage and gain confidence.

These are the "noble people" in life, but when there are many turning points in the life of the poor, they can just meet the "noble people", help them, help us, and let us rest assured and feel more secure.

Whether it’s Auggie or Wei An, they are in the fog of hesitation and see the sun, but this process is not what the movie has seen. Seeing the tearful plot, you might as well think about it again, from zero to one. Ups and downs and confusion. To hold on to the loneliness, to stand the torture of waiting, these are all necessary conditions, but if it is so, it may not be able to have a happy ending.

Therefore, you don't have to think too much about the world, people, and destiny, be yourself, don't feel inferior, and don't have to sacrifice yourself to accommodate others. If people do not deceive me, I will not deceive others. If people do not despise me, I will also treat me with courtesy; but if anyone deceives me, I will raise my eyebrows, and if others despise me, I will not be discouraged. stay away from it.

Society is the melting pot of reality. Only real gold is not afraid of fire. If it is a glass heart, it cannot withstand high temperature forging. After a few back and forth setbacks, it will be broken into slag.
