When I think about it, I inadvertently read it from a book by a woman called Mint Grass. I just remember that it was a very literary expression a

few years later. One day, my brother passed this film to me


(I always feel that those who have met inadvertently have People and things will always reunite with me in some form in the future - I insist that this is my destiny, this time, it has come true again, hehe)


The film uses a mentally retarded person - George's first sensory experience as the In the beginning, a long monologue describing how God created everything:

at first, there was no time, nothing but music.

Then God created the earth

. The next day, God created the ocean. The tide wets your feet and the sea breeze blows. After... the

third day, God made the record , the

fourth day, God made the TV , the

fifth day, God made the grass, when you mow the grass, the grass will cry, you have to caress it, yes It whispers

if you touch a tree with your heart...you become a tree

if you close your eyes...you become an ant on the

sixth day, God made people, and they are of different skin colors, Blue, black, red, white, and orange... On the

seventh day, God made women, and when you kiss them you won't get your beard pierced on

Sunday, God rests


this is George all things created by God. At the end of the film, Harry added - on the eighth day, God created George


Harry and George are two groups of people and two lives.

Harry is a lecturer in a bank, and George is a mentally retarded in a mental hospital.

Harry's life is rigid and compact, George's life is sloppy and imaginative.

Harry is far away from life and relatives, but George is trying to get close to life and relatives.


George is an angel sent by God to the world

. Heaven

As a special social group, the conflict between George and normal people is obvious,

such as his "inappropriate" words and deeds in the restaurant, such as his "rudeness" in the shoe store...

Even like his own sister, Or like Harry, who is close and friendly with him, it is difficult to truly accept him completely -

family, friendship and love are all incomplete.


Therefore, George can only leave the life of a normal person, in the singing of his love, in the love of his dead mother. I leave with a smile in my memory...


Maybe you can think of this film as a public service advertisement for caring for special people.

It at least presents their thoughts, their feelings and their lives more comprehensively.

Then, it is also a very beautiful advertisement. Many subtle beauties are presented frame by frame with fresh pictures.

Or, you can also think of it as a wake-up call - a wake-up call about the details and cherishing of life.

Those simple sentences can also become the motto of your life

    move. George knew that he was allergic to chocolate, but he hesitated and resolutely delivered the chocolate to his mouth, sat on the roof and ate a whole box, and danced happily. Mom, I'm here, I can fly, as if that beautiful ladybug. . . I am a beautiful angel made by God

    2010.11.27:1 Where did God go and what did God do on the eighth day? (The spiral of this world must be different from the previous seven days. God has inhabited all things.) 2 Madness and civilization (the root of contradiction is the understanding of the most ignorant being. When Nietzsche embraced the beaten horse, Then no longer wise) 3 What are we, where do we come from, where do we go
