A chic and meaningful holiday

This film was watched intermittently at a holiday house by the sea. Just hearing the name is very in line with the holiday mood, right? It captured my heart 2 minutes after opening: It is about a divorced couple who wants to drive with 3 bear children. I went to my grandfather's 75th birthday. I was in a lot of trouble when I coaxed 3 bear children into the car. The youngest had to take two heavy stones with names on the road. I couldn't bear to take a bear child on the road. I stopped laughing; who would have seen this comedy, I could see the simple and moving philosophy of life. I was taught a lesson about life when I smiled and laughed. Do you think I am very picky? film.

Now let's talk about the meaning of life. What the bear children went to was actually Grandpa's last birthday party, and more than 200 friends from Grandpa's life will also appear at the party because Grandpa has cancer. This grandfather is very interesting. He described the feeling of being sick and dying soon, like his son playing with him when he was a child, "When he was scratching, he always said no no no, but when he stopped scratching, his son was pestering him. He said, "more more more." The last feeling of life is that there is a lot of unfinished business, no matter how tired you have been, you are actually reluctant to leave.

The three little guys from London, the eldest sister is 8 or 9 years old, is actually not a bear at all. Their parents quarreled and got divorced. The eldest sister is sensitive and preoccupied. She has written down all the parts that cannot be communicated with adults in her notebook.

The second child is a boy who is characterized by fantasies and hilarity. For example, his parents told him, "You can't tell your grandpa that your parents have lived in different houses," and he would say seriously, "by the way, Dad. Mom won't let me tell you they live in different houses." Spoiler guy, it's always cute, you know.

The third child, the girl, is the child who has to take two big rocks on the road. She is only 4 or 5 years old. She has her own magical logic. You ask the east, she answers the west, you want to know the whole thing, she answers is full of innocuous details and super cute.

On the day of the birthday dinner, my grandfather drove his 3 grandchildren to the beach. The 75-year-old grandfather has long known everything. Knowing that his two sons, daughters-in-law, and grandchildren have their own troubles and shortcomings, he definitely hopes that he can help him in the countdown to his life. However, he did not rush to pour out his life experience in the usual way of preaching, but respected the unrestrainedness of protecting the children and told them: some are heavy and do not belong to this age; some grudges among adults do not need to be disappointed, Not to mention changing them, everyone has a ridiculous and unreasonable side, so what? It doesn't matter.

Grandpa also shared with his grandchildren the funeral he yearned for, not a suit and tie, the traditional way of burial mourning. Grandpa loves freedom and has heroic feelings all his life. He hopes that he can be like a Viking, disappeared into the vast sea.

Chatting and chatting, Grandpa actually closed his eyes and went to heaven. How do the 3 little guys deal with grandpa's sudden departure? The eldest sister ran back to her grandfather's castle, only to find that the adults were arguing. "Adults are not trustworthy. They will only follow their own way. They will not respect grandfather's Viking funeral wishes." So, the child ran back to the beach, even with his younger brothers and sisters, and really used Vikings. The way the people of Beijing bid farewell to grandfather, yes, they assembled a bamboo raft boat, lit it on fire, the boat floated further and further away... This screenshot, super love, the vast sea, a wisp of blue smoke, the children on the shore Looking and wishing, we understand grandpa...

But the three little guys returned to the old castle, and the guests of the party arrived one after another. When they learned that grandpa died and was set on fire by the three children, the serious adults were all stunned. , the police media also came and questioned the middle, second and third children with all kinds of silly and naive answers, trying to drive the police auntie crazy. "Children" social news, the British can really imagine.

The adults blamed each other in a mess, and everyone's shortcomings were exposed. The eldest sister brought out the words of Grandpa, "Everyone has a ridiculous side, so what? Grandpa wants us to accept everyone's good and everyone's bad. Well, we are a family!" With a single word, he woke up the dreamer.

After the farce, the parents apologized to the children, admitting that there was a problem in the marriage, and both of them would adjust, but they would no longer avoid the important ones, but told the children honestly and respectfully. In the last scene, a large group of family members danced gracefully to the rich Scottish ditty on the beach where they bid farewell to their grandfather - "This is the attitude that Grandpa most wants to see when he leaves."

Although the bear child played a little big, Burning the body almost became a crime, and the plot arrangement was exaggerated. However, my grandfather's attitude towards life and death, his attitude towards the shortcomings of his family, and how to communicate with his children on an equal footing, still has a lot of inspiration. I just received the early "bucket list" today. These four words are really sad and beautiful. No one wants to have more and more before dying. , Don't even have the dignity of life, don't think that life is very long, what you want, write down, do it, that's all.
