This is not a movie that everyone can experience

This is not a movie that everyone can fully appreciate, but it really touched me.

Because I am also a single parent family, the only difference is that I have a group of cousins ​​and no brothers who love rock and roll.

This film depicts the growth path of children from single-parent families too realistically and delicately. For example, the thoughts of the deceased relatives will be projected onto specific objects; they will often pay attention to the conversations of the people around them, and take the initiative to understand the circumstances and interesting things of the deceased; they will form obsessions because of the longing, and turn to blame and misunderstand the relatives around them.

The spoiler can't say the specific details, but the protagonist's epiphany in the second half is indeed too touching. The characterization and handling of the role of the father is the best I have ever seen.

From the beginning, he put on his father's T-shirt and my eyes were moist, because I felt so empathetic.

    As a Pixar work, it's a bit underwhelming, and it's almost the level between Blue Sky Studio and DreamWorks. Of course, the core is still Pixar's family and emotions. By deconstructing the father figure and finding a new father figure, one of the two fathers is almost the same as a dog, and the other is a complete "outsider". The choice of characters in the ending is great, just too childish.

    After Coco, I have a psychological shadow of this hemiplegic rejuvenation. It is not a good thing for Pixar to become more and more proficient in sensationalism. I hope this is not the last movie I watched in the cinema this year (the new crown outbreak is in sight, sigh~)
