Some things are not true or false, as long as they are worth believing

Secondhand Lions refers not only to the aging lion in the movie, but also to the two old people (secondhand means second-hand acquisition, which symbolizes the boy's understanding of the two heroic brothers who were once "African lions". others' narrative). But whether it is an animal or a human, even if it is "second-hand", even if it is old, the heroism of the past will still be revealed in the words and deeds of the present. So the little boy who used to "doubt everything" not only believed in 40 years of African adventure stories, but also grew up to be a cartoonist who created "legends". Just like the old man's Men's Speech, some things do not matter whether they are true or false, as long as they are worth believing, they are convinced.
