those eyes

After watching the movie, little Sarah's big blue eyes still flashed in her mind: fear, confusion, persistence, stubbornness, and sadness. Two scenes in the movie shocked me a lot: one is in the truck to transfer Jews, and an old Jew pointed to his poisonous ring and said stubbornly: Only I can choose when to die! The camera turns to small Sarah's wide eyes, and this shot also responds to the adult Sarah's choice of when to die. Yes, when people lose the dignity of living, at least they still have the dignity to choose how to die. The second shot is: Sarah and the French peasant couple who adopted her rushed back to Paris. She eagerly ran up the stairs and rushed into the room to open the door of the closet that was protecting his younger brother. In fact, the audience had already predicted it psychologically. Even though this scene happened, I couldn't help little Sarah crying in pain: I'm sorry! My eyes were wet, not because of the resonance, but from being really moved. When you grow up, or in other words, when you are an adult, people are rarely moved by real feelings. Most of the moving is due to resonance: narcissism, self-pity, laughter or tears in the repeated review of their own poor gains and losses, have gradually forgotten How to be moved by another person and thing. The moving space is completely occupied by the self, painting the walls again and again and then smearing my own gains and losses, and this time I was moved, at least that moved space is willing to open its windows to welcome the greatness or sorrow of others.

Julia Jarmond: And so I write this for you, My Sarah. With the hope that one day, when you're old enough, this story that lives with me, will live with you as well. When a story is told, it is not forgotten. It becomes something else, a memory of who we were; the hope of what we can become.
