human happiness

The two protagonists of the film look very different: a glamorous and accomplished business lecturer, and a simple and stupid "Mongolian" who has nothing to do. The accidental encounter of the two people, followed by the conflict between the two, we found that the simple and direct George is more sensitive to the perception of happiness and more direct to the expression of pain. On the contrary, Harry has been disguised and suppressed at work and lost his truest self, and gradually developed into mania and indifference. No matter what life gives us, we must not forget to be a warm person, discover simple joys, and cherish the love given to us by our friends and family around us. When the two protagonists were both indifferently abandoned by their family members and even their lovers, I saw that What they have in common: the same yearning for the love of their family and the love of their lovers; the same fear of being abandoned. George has been supported by his mother's love. Ali learned to cherish again after getting to know George, so he found the warmth of happy love. God has only given us so much. There are only seven days in a week. On the eighth day that doesn’t exist, we should learn to stop and cherish what we have around us, while it’s still too late.

I have no resistance to such films that talk about life attitudes and family affection. In the middle part, the two of them were lying on the grass and listening to the insects chirping peacefully, trying to stop time. The logic line of the whole story can't stand scrutiny. Some people say it is like "Rain Man", but unfortunately I haven't watched "Rain Man", and the escape part is like "Flying Over the Cuckoo's Nest"

By far the most literary one of similar models. Speed 3. Staff and mentally handicapped. Forrest Gump + the feeling of falling into (George's dream). The scale is actually very large (smell children's socks; domestic violence; mentally retarded courtship of different sexes several times). George's cast is really good, and he smiles awkwardly at first sight; the mentally handicapped group is very credible and lovable (spray room 7 again).

Harry: We should get going.
Georges: Just one more minute.
Harry: Okay.
[they lie down for a minute more]
Harry: [looks at his watch] Okay, it's over.
Georges: A nice minute, for us.

Harry: On the eighth day, God created Georges. And he saw that it was good.
