Listening to Ami's radio in the morning, he mentioned that he likes to visit the zoo in rainy weather, and suddenly I thought of this movie related to the zoo. I thought it was just a simple warm family comedy, but it gave me an unexpected surprise. .

It is also a movie about the departure of relatives and the adjustment of mentality. The picture of "Manchester by the Sea" is cold and monotonous, but the picture of "Zoo" has always been warm, and the characters' hair often fades into a circle under the backlight Golden silhouette, warm and light. The different scene atmospheres also foreshadow the final state of mind of the two protagonists and two opposite endings: one did not reconcile with the past in the end, and let life drag on, feeling depressed and helpless but very real; the other passed A group of lovely people and animals gradually opened their hearts, made their own choices to decide their lives, accepted the facts calmly, and finally reconciled with the past, which is gratifying and moving.

In addition, there are several clips in the play that moved me very much. One of them is the father and son sitting in front of the cage of the dying tiger. The male protagonist said to his rebellious son, who has always been difficult to communicate with, or let us talk about what we hope the other party will say. After the two sentences were finished, I felt that the delicate tension between each other was relieved a lot. In fact, many conflicts that were difficult to adjust were resolved at a decisive moment.

The performance of the youngest daughter Rosie in the film is also very dazzling. Who doesn't like the innocent, cute and intelligent little girl? The most memorable line is the short and powerful "why not?"
