Embrace the miracle with open arms

A good movie will always have a scene that will endure forever. Undoubtedly, POWDER did it.

A snow-white angel descended from the sky, but the world's eyes were not friendly. Humans are always such an animal, excluding dissidents and fearing things that are different and unknown from themselves - the deputy sheriff is the most typical representative of this type of person.
When I saw the middle part, I always felt angry for this kind young man. I even imagined that I would ask him: "Why don't you fight back? Why let these ugly faces show their teeth and claws in front of you?" He silently used the most silent actions. He answered me bluntly, when the world treated him cruelly and unfairly, he just smiled, and then shyly endured it all, because he was born extraordinary, and he knew that violence in this world was never the solution to the problem. Repaying grievance with virtue, this old Chinese saying is always brought up, but how many people can love this world so deeply and purely like him. Facing the sheriff who made things difficult for him again and again, he chose to help him and his son settle the past. In the face of arrogant and malicious classmates, he chose to save that person's life.
The end of the film left the deepest impression and touch on me. I couldn't imagine the relief and relief in this extraordinary child's heart when he ran towards lightning in the vast farmland. This generosity made me feel ashamed. When he took steps and ran faster and faster, the wind was cheering for his return, and the sky was shouting for him - but he was just like a child, he just wanted to open his arms and try his best to embrace the sky...
