When Augie was in his first class in elementary school, the teacher wrote this sentence on the blackboard, "If there is a choice between being right and being kind, I choose being kind."

Whether it's Auggie giving Will to copy during the exam, or Will and Julian getting into a fight because Julian calls Auggie a "monster", Will refuses to tell the principal why the fight is going on because it would Not fair to Julian.

Julian repeatedly humiliated Augie in various ways because of Augie's appearance. The principal invited Julian's parents. The mother complained that Augie's appearance affected his son's studies. The principal said this to Julian's parents. "His looks can't be changed, but we can change how we think about him"

These warm details are all closely related to kindness. Is it better to choose political correctness? Or listen to your heart and choose kindness? I think everyone has the answer too!

    "School sucks, people change." When it comes to the heart, multiple perspectives bring cruel and warm stories. Auggie is simply a live-action version of Paddington Bear. The fans cry and laugh, this family of four is so beautiful, the mother is gentle, the father is reasonable, the sister is sensible, Jack is cuter than the little male protagonist, and the little sister is like the daughter of 20,000 families

    Broadway screening, full house, a warm room. It's the boy's story, not just the boy's story. It's about family, friendship, upbringing, jealousy, forgiveness, understanding, no sensationalism, zero preaching, delicate and natural, and dripping. The boy's helmet is reminiscent of the fish tank in "The Thief of the Years", the fish tank is full of thoughts, and the helmet hides a small ordinary but extraordinary self.
