The expected ending and the unexpected tears, there are no amazing ups and downs in the whole film, just the ones around you, those small dissatisfaction, conflict, nostalgia, warmth and comfort in life. Looking forward to the future.
"Why not?"
How to sum up this story? It is a story about a man who lost his wife reorganizing his life and learning to face such things as family, love, career and death; it is also a story about a child who cannot see the sun and desperately yearns for father’s love, and gradually learns to face The story of life changes and interpersonal communication; it is a long-lasting and loving memory, and it is also a story of a zoo "standing up" again, and everyone learns to take responsibility and practice.
If the protagonist Benjamin hadn't plucked up the courage to talk to Catherine for 20 seconds, there would be no Benjamin family in the world; if Benjamin hadn't plucked up 20 seconds of courage and determined to continue to fund the zoo, the zoo wouldn't have a new life at this moment; If Dylan didn't have 20 seconds of courage to confess to Lily, the two would leave each other sad; if Dylan didn't have 20 seconds of courage to sit down with his father and talk to each other, maybe no one could get out of the shadows of the past and the past. of haze.
There are probably very few people in life who are full of courage. We are often hesitant to stand in front of opportunities, afraid of failure, fear of losing face, and aversion to loss. Indeed, this may be human nature. But opportunities are like the gravel in flowing water, which is hard to grasp, and where can it stand up to hesitation.
If after thinking about it carefully, you find that you really love everything that a decision may bring, and you can bear even the worst result, why not move forward? And even if it is a bloody decision, but you find that even a ten thousandth achievement will bring happiness, you might as well give it a try, who stipulates that life can't make mistakes, and who stipulates what is right and what is wrong, even if So, why should you listen to "him"?
"You could spend years or even a lifetime doing this"
The choice is not difficult, the difficult thing is the commitment after the choice. All the good and the sad in the world are interlinked. Benjamin chose to repair the zoo, and he had to face snow bills, some unruly auditors, and the children's incomprehension, and even he was about to leave. brought by the tiger, the life around him once again passed.
Most of the stories circulating in the world are success stories. Just like the journey shown in the film, there are twists and turns but eventually they reach the Peach Blossom Land. The reality is that there are more stories in this world that are not so successful, or even relatively failed.
There are also some small points, such as the joys and sorrows of the world are not connected, and I only feel that their noisy emotion, "their happiness is too noisy", such as the old clothes that can't be discarded, is the power of new life .
The light in the film is beautiful, it is the gentleness poured on the little girl and the animals on the hillside, and it is the future that appears outside the window in the early morning after the continuous torrential rain.
