true hero

I think it is very appropriate to use a diving bell to describe a person who is paralyzed and can only receive external information but cannot respond. Although it is diving, it is still a bell that wants to sound.

The original book was read ten years ago when it was published. In fact, the content is just a little bit. If you have read a little inspirational book, the content of this novel is not too special, and it is a common inspirational argument.

This time, I came here because I admired the film and won many awards. Really not bad. I really appreciate the special first-person shooting method, which clearly expresses the perspective of the paralyzed person. The scenery is beautiful, with beaches, forests, mountains and underwater, which is pleasing to the eye. No matter how splendid life is, it will eventually return to the embrace of nature.

Don't think that a lying vegetative person has nothing to do. In addition to the homework given by doctors, nurses, physical therapy and speech therapists, he also has to learn to face the changed interpersonal and communication styles.

The old father who had a good relationship with him was mourning for his son, and I heard many people in the audience weeping together. The cruelest thing is to tell the white-headed man to watch the black-headed man decay faster than himself.

The wife (actually just the mother of the protagonist's child) answers the phone of her husband's lover on behalf of the paralyzed protagonist, and she has to admire the French's courage to face reality and responsibility. From the perspective of us Chinese, how can we say to our lover "I wait for you to see me every day" in front of the woman we love the most, and then ask the woman beside him to avoid him for a minute and let him listen to the lover's love words? If we must speak very tactfully, or even simply withdraw the line. It can be seen that the French are very frank, although it will hurt a little, but at least they are worthy of themselves, especially when they have little time, maybe it is just to let others suffer a little more sadness, but also to let those who love each other seize the few communication opportunities that are left. . The pain the woman suffered was nothing compared to death and separation. When will the Chinese learn this kind of frankness and loyalty to themselves? Hypocrisy, the harm is actually more serious.

The most interesting is learning how to write a paralyzed person. I'm thinking that the author of this book is of course the central figure, struggling against the impediment of imperfection to accomplish what he did - to publish his work. But without the help of his friends, his great ambition could not have been achieved. And his friend's selfless and patient contribution is definitely no less than that of the author. But the publication of a book, or the realization of one thing, often only piles the glory to the most central hero. Just like the music awards ceremony, even if the top ten golden song winners come to the stage to thank those behind the scenes, the protagonists will always be those singers, although if there is no songwriting and lyrics and the efforts of the people behind the scenes, they can't be so beautiful, but the people behind the scenes often are ignored and will not be invited to the stage.

The real heroes are often hiding behind the curtain, listening to the audience's applause not for themselves, but they all feel relieved.
