There is her temper everywhere in the world, it is red flowers, blue birds.

"Mo Di" is a movie that I bought a movie ticket with sincerity, but didn't catch up with the screening, so I could only watch it at home. Perhaps because of this, there is a special fate between us - no longer only regard missing as a fault, all encounters need timing. In fact, I just wanted to say, the feeling of watching a movie like this at home wrapped in a quilt in winter - it's really good.

Mo Di is the protagonist's name. She has had small flaws since she was born, but she never missed the splendor and fun of life. She lived a colorful and fulfilling life.

Compared with many people who are born with healthy bodies, their minds are gradually worn down in the future life. It is an enviable talent to be able to maintain a naive attitude. Sometimes it depends on luck, but talent is more dependable than luck. Some talents are miserable, like Strickland in the moon and sixpence, and some are full of joy, and Maudie is the latter. But no matter which one they are, they are pure power, as crystal clear as ice, as hot as fire, and with just one force, they can easily expand the breadth of life.

Innocent, talented people are really cute. Even if they are treated unfairly, feel resentful and have nowhere to vent, they can draw a flower or a bird on the wall, and they can create a secret exit for themselves. In an instant, he was pulled away from reality and fell into a colorful vortex. The tears on his face were not dry, but he was already wandering alone in another world.

Mo Di has two worlds, looking out from her small window, one is yours and mine, and the other is only her own.

Mo Di is naive, but has a temper, but her temper has turned into color. Thinking about it, it turns out that the painter's temper is actually colored. I went to the Muxin Art Museum last year, and I remember seeing a sentence he said there, to the effect that "an artist throws his temper on the world, and the world is full of his temper, and it is the most pleasant to use music to lose his temper." Good-tempered or bad-tempered, in the world of a pen and a piano, both can be beautiful.

If someone insists on seeing the subtitles at the end, then they will be able to appreciate Mo Di's Easter eggs, in addition to her actual appearance, as well as her various works. If you take a closer look at her paintings, you will find that they are all brightly colored, without any skills, similar to the creation of children's paintings.

Recalling a scene in the movie, when the owner of the post office saw Mo Di received the fee for the drawings, he said in a slightly sour tone that these paintings were similar to those drawn by his young son. In fact, what the boss doesn't understand is that Mo Di is not only selling paintings, but also her life story. There are many innocent children without grooming, and very few adults who remain innocent. Skills can be practiced, but talent is innate, and there is no need to sculpt.

The translated name of "Mo Di" in Taiwan is also called "Modi's Colorful Cabin". The hut was actually owned by her husband Everett. flowers, colorful birds. In the world of ice and snow, it has become a bright color on the horizon. It is like a colorful eye. Through the pupil of the window, it reflects the gorgeousness of life. That is another world, that is what Mo Di thinks.
