The movie "The Stray Cat Bob" is adapted from a true story. In 2007, the London street musician James Bowen adopted an abandoned orange cat. It appeared beside James with all the injuries, like another James . At that time, James' situation was not much better. He was struggling in the quagmire of drug addiction, living without a fixed place, and it was difficult to support himself.
He sells and sings on the street. When it rains, there is no umbrella and no place to shelter from the rain; passers-by throw him more garbage, and he has no money to buy food, so he can only pick up some spoiled food in the trash can.
The "evil nature" advocated by the ancient sage Xunzi believes that human beings are born evil, but in the subsequent development, evil may continue, or it may turn from evil to good.
In fact, sometimes human nature will react differently in different scenarios or encounter different people. Just as actor Huang Bo once said in an interview: I used to be surrounded by villains, but now I am surrounded by good people. Have these people changed? Of course not, what has changed is himself, from a small role to an actor, who would behave "evil" in front of him.
James, who was struggling in the quagmire, encountered more of the evil of human nature. He was abandoned by his native family, his father's new home, and her stepmother hated him extremely. Even on such an important holiday as Christmas, he was angry because of his sudden appearance. .
When he didn't have enough money to buy food, the clerk would rather dump the food than give it to him cheaply.
When he sang on the street, some people were jealous that he made money and deliberately let the dog pee in front of him, causing turmoil, so that he could not sing on the street for half a year; so he turned to selling newspapers on the street, but was reported by his colleagues Illegal order grabbing.
This is the evil he encountered, but fortunately it didn't overwhelm him, because of Bob's appearance, his life began to change.
The lady who helped him detox gave him a place to live, his neighbors gave him spiritual encouragement; a woman he never knew gave Bob a gift; the kind publisher gave him a second chance to sell newspapers on the street.
With the kindness and encouragement of these people, he succeeded in detoxification and had a new life.
Of course, all this is still thanks to his own kindness. If he hadn't used all his money to treat the cat's injury at that time, maybe he would still be a homeless man with nothing.
No one listened to his grievances, no one accompanied him, no one noticed him; even if he sang "I'm so beautiful" over and over again, it probably wouldn't get people's attention.
It was the appearance of Bob the cat that made his life gradually brighter, and also brought him out of the haze and regained his new life.
