In general, the film was given four stars for viewing at the Beijing Film Festival, with full marks for conception, full marks for music, and full marks for color matching and lighting, but the narration, editing and the expressiveness of the actors were correspondingly lacking.
I want to talk about it simply based on its conception.
When a child is born, the environment, order and appearance of the country, city, and family that TA comes to have a 100% impact on his life.
Just a simple comparison with myself. In the film, Khalid witnessed the bombing of his house and the death of his relatives in his hometown of Syria. He fled to Europe with his last relative and sister, praying for asylum. He got separated from his sister halfway, and his only motivation was to find her and live with her in Finland. The requirement of this "life" is to have a place to sleep, eat, and not be bullied.
And I was born in a peaceful era and country, my family is safe, food, clothing and housing are not worrying about. The motivation of my current life is to strive to realize personal value (in fact, it may just be the pursuit of fame and fortune).
In the past, I always liked to compare myself with the second generation of rich, the second generation of officials, and the second generation of students. But when I compare with Khalid, I am already lucky and happy enough.
Can I say Khalid was unfortunate? Obviously not, he has gone through enormous physical and mental pain, and after putting in unimaginable hard work as a child of a well-off family in China, he finally found his only relative and settled down. At the end of the film, he finally showed a smile, and the audience could feel his full sense of happiness.
Back to myself. I used to think that life is a straight line, some people are lucky to be born at the finish line, and some people are unlucky to lose at the starting line. Now realize that this kind of thinking is wrong.
To rephrase the metaphor, I now think that life is a circle. The beginning may be the end, and the end may be the beginning. It's not about chasing each other. It's a kind of fulfillment to experience and experience more on your own circle. It's okay to stop when you're tired.
Perhaps the best state is the same sentence: have love, have expectations.
According to today's viewing experience, add one more sentence: I am always grateful.
