I like the Cantonese-inspired dialogue.
It is obviously an inspirational film, and I like the warm details in it.
When little Billy dreams of leaving the factory district where he lives and studying ballet in London, where his father never went. This sentence first appeared in the mouth of his little friend. The melancholy little boy said, "Don't go, I'll hang on to you",
but such retention could not resist the temptation of the dream, not to mention even the father, who had been strongly opposed to him, was convinced by his talent, and turned to support his dream.
The violent-looking father must be sitting on his bed with mixed emotions. The process of realizing your dreams is so hard that you sometimes have to betray your position. Fortunately, he was eventually stopped. His prudence and urgency on the interview site revealed a father's deep expectations for his children.
When he received the admission notice, Billy carefully felt the great joy in the room, silently. So that the whole family thought it was bad news. His eyes turned from anticipation to disappointment until he heard the news in person.
"I'll hang on to you, teacher," he said as he parted. The teacher was still calm, "You won't" "I will."
Before leaving, Grandma looked at Billy in silence, a few seconds of pause. Suddenly hug him. From a small place into a suddenly unfamiliar environment, the scene change is too sudden for the child. There's so much in a grandma's hug.
The gay-minded kid yelled from the roof: Dancing boy. The farewell scene is delicate. To kiss goodbye like an adult, people grow up in an instant.
Touching in addition to Billy's farewell to his father. And his stubborn brother, who said after the window was closed, I'll hang you. I have to wait until I get in the car to say it, because I am embarrassed to let the other party hear it directly, just say it. Billy said, what, what did you say. Again, I'll hang on to you. until the car drives away.
Compared with the gloomy and sternness of "shine", which is about musicians, this movie is more warm. The environment of the small town and the distance from the city once felt the same to me. In a difficult background, the yearning and pursuit of success, but unfortunately I can't do it. Always so high in the sky, so far in the plains. Violent and soft-hearted family. Domo is like a tender movie. Especially the ending. His father and brother took the subway to see his performance, and his father's movements were already clumsy.
miss you sounds very cold.
Missing you sounds fake too.
When I saw Zhang Xiaoxian in the past, some classmates always said that I would miss you. When there was no difference, they felt that it sounded appropriate and warm, and it seemed like an interesting twist.
Hang, there are more delicate meanings in it. Self-denial and self-restraint, gentle and refined.
Our lives are ultimately about hanging on to certain things, certain memories. The emptiness in my heart is just because there is no ties.
