why i like this movie
Ericka 2022-03-26 09:01:06
I don't know much about film structure, technique, but I know this is the only film that resonates strongly with me. The day before my mother died suddenly a few years ago, I was going to call her, but I dialed the wrong number and didn't call her. And just like that, I missed the last call. Maybe if I call the number again that day, she won't die. My reaction was the same as the little boy, self-blame. I would also rather have my father die than my mother. When I watch the boy go through New York, struggling in pain, what I see is myself.
I hope all children understand that cherish those who love you and those who love you. Do not leave regrets.
Don't be like me, you will never be free.
I hope all children understand that cherish those who love you and those who love you. Do not leave regrets.
Don't be like me, you will never be free.
