romantic to death

I like two types of films the most, one is family film and the other is suspense film. The family love in the former can always touch me. Those moments of life are magnified in front of the camera. I feel the same and benefit a lot.

I feel that the most interesting stages of life are childhood and old age. Children are not yet deeply involved in the world. They perceive and absorb new things around them like a sponge. They are always full of curiosity and a strong thirst for knowledge. They have their own unique system. Things and behaviors are processed in their minds into a language that they can understand (you don’t know after turning a few corners), the world of children is full of strange and extremely interesting; The world returned to its original state before their eyes.

These two types of people are faced with such a heavy proposition as death. The former sees it too lightly, while the latter sees it too clearly. At this moment, death has been weakened to an understatement, so grandpa is so calm on the beach, in the sea breeze, in the seagull's wings. Paida Li welcomed his own death, and the three children accepted the death of their relatives so calmly, and held a funny, warm and lovely Viking funeral for their grandfather, without the complexity of the adult world, out of the framework of ethics, death The cruelest part is stripped out, and what remains is pure and straightforward love.

I like this philosophical attitude towards death, I also like the line in the movie "We don't have to be angry with the people we love", no one is perfect, tolerate these imperfections and spend more time creating good memories let's go.

The finale turned so bluntly clichéd, but I still loved the last scene where people danced happily on the towering rocks by the sea, so simple and so romantic.
