Sometimes I think about it. The world is really wonderful, sometimes we can make our own choices in many aspects, but sometimes we may not even have the right to choose, and the thing that cannot make a choice is the most What is the possibility? It should be our blood lineage, our birth level, and the inseparable relationship between us and our family called family

. We will choose to forgive the person who hurt us the most, learn not to hold this person accountable, learn to protect this person, learn to take responsibility that many people shun or even cannot bear after the inexplicable disappearance of this person, and learn to still believe in family even if All the hurts, all the things that shouldn't have happened are thanks to my father, learn to walk forward even if there is not much light ahead, learn, learn too much, should not have been a girl at the age of 17 Something to learn.

In "Winter's Bones", when the surrounding world is too oppressive, too special, too hard, too difficult, poverty, hunger, poverty, crime, drugs, wandering in the woods, wandering among the neighborhoods, even Just wandering in my own home, in that small wooden house, family affection is like sunlight, but it is gray sunlight, a faint gray sunlight, that is, when the warm sunlight wants to pass through that fan of the sun. The dusty and debris-covered windows brought his warmth to the unknown place inside, but when it brought his care, it seemed that it could not be brought in fully enough to be fully felt. Bright, warm sunlight in all corners, when he shoots in, it always brings a little bit of dust floating in the chaotic air, a little choking, and the sunlight is like father's younger brother, his own uncle Like "teardrops", although the sun will always be accompanied by dust, the choking warmth it brings out is so heartwarming but also so sentimental.

Anything, any relationship seems to be a double-edged sword, but in Dolly's view, family love cannot and cannot be, although her father is not a competent father, he is a drug maker and a drug addict. People who can live in mortgages, who have done too many bad things and stupid things, but in my opinion, Dolly never really resented her father, maybe she was a little helpless, maybe she would be a little hesitant, maybe she would be a little bit helpless. Helpless, maybe she has hated and resented, but she understands that now is not the time to cry and make trouble, because she is the one who stands up for the whole family, she can't fall, can't give in, because she still has family, and Younger brother and sister, and mother, and because she is a person who still believes in family, she believes that in this environment where only self-help can survive, you can't rely on others to live, you can't pray to others Help, and survival is the only goal and belief, but she can or can believe in her relatives, her family, and the kinship that should exist between them. Perhaps kinship and survival are her beliefs, and Dolly puts her family aside. In the first place, she did her best to give her brother and sister this belief in family affection, and because of this belief, she bowed her head, she was brave, she went to find it alone, she To pursue alone, for an answer she also longed for, for a reason to continue this difficult life, she lowered her head to seek the help of her friends and her uncle who had always been afraid of him, even though she was so proud of herself. The girl, she bravely went to the territory of the powerful drug-producing family, even though she was so afraid at this time, so afraid! !

For the sake of family love, Dolly went forward, she also knew that she had to go forward, she was injured, she was beaten so badly that she was about to be killed, she saw with her own eyes that her father's already cold hands were Roughly cut it and threw it into her arms, she cried in the boat with other people, because she didn't expect that she reached into the cold lake and grabbed her father's hands to dismember them, she cried in the already In front of a mother without a clear will, because she didn't think about how difficult it would be to find a father, because no one helped her at that time, because at that time she thought that friendship and family were betrayed and abandoned herself, just like Just like his missing father.

Dolly didn't seem to feel so cold in that winter anymore, because of her inner strength, because of her faith in family love, Dolly changed a lot of things with her persistence and her pure heart that believed in family love. The family that she believed in, the family she trusted did not let her down. Tears risked her life to save her and helped her find her brother. Her husband drove her the car that she hadn't borrowed before. Although Teardrop still wanted to avenge her brother and caused a lot of trouble, although there were still too many unknowns ahead, it felt like the sunshine at the end of the film. The gray is a lot less, it becomes dazzling, and it shines a lot. That winter is still not over, but because of her relatives, she has a mind and soul as tough as winter bones. Accompanied by the faint singing, Dolly may be able to be more than before. Comfort, go forward with more confidence, but family affection, that gray sunshine, although it is not so bright, although it is not so dazzling, it can always bring enough warmth to yourself when you are cold , maybe that's enough! !
