Turning a few pages of the electronic paper book, I remembered that I had seen a movie based on this book.
Toby Maguire at that time had not yet put on the Spider-Man jumpsuit, Richards Theron was young and beautiful like a priceless vase. Although it is an unpopular film that is not very pleasing, the film is so warm and soothing, it will still strike gentle ripples in the heart.
What touched me the most in the film was not beauty and love, but the isolated orphanage. The platform where trains don't want to stop, the uninhabited mountain road, when the snow blows, a dilapidated house in the snow-white fertile field, seems to be a lonely planet forgotten by the world.
The children in the orphanage and the doctor Homer have never been to the outside world. But it did not affect their growth and the simple warmth of life. The old dean Luckey was warm and kind, and under his protection, every orphan had never been troubled by his own life experience. Although adoptive couples often come, and although every orphan wants to be in a new family like those children who were taken away, that's okay! They are enjoying snowball fights, watching King Kong, listening to Dr. Larch or Homer every day Take the trouble to read Great Expectations and David Copperfield's stories to the kids at night. Every night when the lights go out, Dr. Larch comes over to say goodbye: "Good night! You princes of Maine, kings of New England!"
Every time I look at it, there is always a trace of moisture rising from the depths of my heart that touches me, and I think more than once, this is the simple life I would like to exchange my floating life for! Thousands of times the same, bland, there is no worldly foam and utilitarian. That virgin-like pure forest field, that fairy tale-like beautiful and quiet sunset, seems to have faded out of the world, as if it is a little paradise given by God. Daily games, daily evening prayers, nightly kisses and farewells: Good night! Princes of Maine, kings of New England!" Maybe every day that passes quietly is worth cherishing, maybe living like this The place is the hometown of life you can aspire to!
