And love

The trauma that terrorism inflicts on the entire human race is irreparable. In 2001, I was still studying in junior high school. On September 12, the whole class was full of boiling voices, discussing what just happened in the world. Looking back now, it seems that everyone applauded in unison, but none of the teachers could stand up and say that this was an unfortunate event that should be saddened rather than celebrated. The long-term domestic mainstream media propaganda has shaped the United States into the role of a hegemonic international policeman, and from the emotional level of most people, when a strong or dominant person is attacked, no matter the reason, it is worth celebrating. It's shameful.
As a junior high school student, I couldn't understand what happened, I couldn't understand the meaning of disaster, and I even said something pleasant to my classmates. Now it seems that he was ignorant and had poor judgment at the time.
The children in the film also couldn't understand what happened, and stubbornly threw themselves into the clues left by the so-called father. The film spends most of its time telling how the child finds the secret behind the key in his father's blue vase. I don't know what this age's understanding of death is. He should understand it, but there are obstacles in the acceptance level. Emotional setbacks often lead to paranoia in action, which is vividly reflected in the search process. The director should want to tell everyone the damage caused by this incident through some extreme performance of the child, and this is just a story that happened in a family. Throughout Manhattan, New York, the United States and the entire world, the tragedy spread like an atomic bomb, and the subsequent impact was measured in decades.
At the end of the film, the whole person collapsed. The child did not know what he had done. The mother seemed to be caring for herself, but in fact, she quietly protected the child. Many of the children's actions actually hurt the mother deeply. However, she silently took the responsibility, using her own way to resolve the shadow cast by terrorism, so that her children could correctly accept and trust this society.
Human beings need such broad love, especially in the face of disaster. Similarly, what human beings lack the most is also a broad love, at all times.

    The trauma brought by 911, on the way to find the answer, re-warm the heart with love. A subject worthy of attention, but this movie puts it all on the little boy to show it, it's too single... not emotionally moving. I especially hate this little boy, thinking that only myself is hurt in the whole world, so I keep hurting people who really care about him.
