another little prince

"Maybe one day, human beings will exist in the form of energy, not limited by the physical body." Watching this movie, I always think of two people from time to time, one of which is the little prince. I seem to be watching another little prince. When he was still conceived in his mother's body, he already had his own consciousness, and he could clearly feel the love and expectation of his parents for him. He must also be curious about the outside world. But that day, everything changed. The mother who loved him the most was "taken away by God", and the father who loved him was afraid that he hated him, crying and saying, "This is not my child", don't want him. It was the most painful day of his life... the day he was born. He will always remember how terribly ugly he was in his father's eyes. Even the grandparents who raised him were afraid to touch him. Others, who have never seen him, have regarded him as a monster and ghostly existence. He knew nothing about the world except what was in the books. Finally one day, my grandparents are gone. The little prince had to leave his "planet" and come to the human world. So he experienced and watched human emotions. The vast majority still fear and dislike him. But he also felt sincere warmth and concern, felt loved, cherished and protected. They told him he was the most beautiful man they had ever seen; they were not afraid of him, they touched him, they hugged him; they said he was an angel. He even tasted the sprouting taste of love. He is so sensitive, a little tenderness and kindness can make him cry. But such kindness is too little, this world is not his world after all. Like the little prince, he came to this world, learned some things, and "teach" others some things. But the little prince is still extremely lonely, he must go back, go back to his world. So the little prince abandoned his heavy body and went home. I forgot which year I downloaded this movie, I changed my computer 3 times in the middle and still it is still there, I always watch it once every two years. Just as I remember the little prince, I remember this lonely, gentle, distressing and unique person.
