A road full of flowers and thorns

When I opened the movie, it was a cold morning, the wind was cold and rainy outside, and the leaves were flying. It was selfish to choose this one, "Sunny Days in Summer", the name sounds warm and brilliant! Presumably clears the haze and gloom of the weather and mood.

At the beginning, the painting style was a bit dull, the image of the sea monster was not to my taste, it was a bit like a little alien monster, everything changed from the moment it landed, the seaside in summer, blue sky and white clouds, fine sand and shells, and a like-minded little boy Partners, for the common dream, those happy days spent together make people dream back to childhood in an instant. At this moment, although we are of different races, live in different countries, and speak different languages, our feelings are the same, our yearning for the outside world, our desire for freedom, our desire for recognition and friendship, and we will not admit defeat or give in to counsel. The young and frivolous are elements exclusive to childhood and are not changed by those external factors.

Like many friends have said, the story is actually very simple, but it is the simplicity that is beautiful, isn't it? A middle-aged person is like me. I accompany my daughter to revisit Hayao Miyazaki and Ghibli that I have seen many times. Children are like her, and I like "Spirited Away" the most; Dragon Totoro. Not for anything else, not because Chihiro is not good, but Totoro has a unique childhood filter. The movie viewing experience is originally the honey of the first and the arsenic of the second, a highly subjective event. Just as there are a thousand people, there are a thousand Hamlets. Growing up is good, and it is something out of your control. It is a natural law that cannot be reversed in human life. When we were in childhood, we didn't realize the taste of freedom at that time. It was only as we got older and became less and less free, that we found that simplicity and steadfastness are hard to find again. The reason so many people are obsessed with childhood, right?

People often say: I'm not confused at forty, there are still a few years left, and I have enough time, but I'm still far from the threshold of not being confused. I still have many questions about life that I don't understand. It's just that I have more inertia of adults, and less of the courage of young people, the kind of loneliness that is indomitable, striving for dreams and working hard, regardless of the cost and consequences, and it can even be said to be reckless. When we grow up, we will look ahead and think twice before doing things, and we will be caught in the internal friction between ourselves and ourselves. At that time, he hit a three-pointer and retreated. Not to mention dreams, how much is a dream worth? Can it be eaten? Lonely brave and reckless have their shortcomings and drawbacks, but it must be good to make up for everything? You only have one life, you can't do it all over again, you can have fun while it's still too late, young man, relying on that reckless attitude, go out, throw away your armor, or break your head, at least you have gone out and experienced it. That's your unique experience, the proof that you've been in this world.

The undulating wheat waves, the summer country roads, the refreshing well water, the gurgling clear stream, the cute and haunted dark house, if "My Neighbor Totoro" is a warm and innocent child's life, "Luke" is A true portrait of passionate and contradictory childhood, who hasn't been full of yearning for the outside world when they were young? Who hasn't regarded childhood friends as their everything, and a quarrel seems like the sky is falling? Who didn't dislike her mother's nagging and repression when she was a child, but her favorite is always her? Who hasn't had a warm and innocent dream in childhood, and then watched it disappear and shatter in adulthood?

A gentle and tough child like Luca, a reckless but sensitive child like Abeto, a warm, brave and kind child like Julia, all kinds of children with different appearances and different personalities will eventually grow into all kinds of children. Adults who look the same on the outside but have a strange heart. The road to growth is full of flowers and thorns, but fortunately, we have family members who will always love us and like-minded friends, so we are not alone. In the outside world, we put away our tails and scales, and even learned to walk from scratch, we tasted the sweet taste of the first ice cream, and experienced the bitterness of other people's malice and ridicule, learned to ride a bicycle and eat Italian We also faced the ferocious cats who could see through everything together. We experienced the danger of almost revealing the contents together, experienced the joy of success together, and walked with each other through the trough together. Most importantly, we also met the same friendly and different little girl Julia, and her tough and tender "butcher" father, just like grandma said: there are always people in this world that can't accept us. People, but there's always a way to find "good guys" from the crowd, right?

It is rare that the experience is good, but friendship and family are also very important. But, you can only accompany us for one ride, right? In the end, I still have to set foot on the train to Genoa alone, the future is unknown, the fate is uncertain, but life, after all, I still have to face it by myself. Self-identity and self-growth, grow into a better self, and then embark on an unknown and exciting road!
