"What did we do on vacation"

The film teaches a series of surprising stories about three children with different personalities and different thoughts, and their parents who love to quarrel when they go to the 75-year-old grandpa's birthday.

I like the three children very much. They are acting in this movie with their own truth, which is very comfortable for people to see. Jess likes to collect stones. I can remember the name of each stone very clearly. The funniest point is holding her breath to scare her parents when she is unhappy and angry. When you see it, you can say that Jess is too young and ignorant, but what is she? They all have their own ideas. Mickey is a person who likes to read books and knows a lot of little knowledge, points out others when they say something wrong, and firmly believes that Odin exists in the world, and often carries his long sword. Littie is a leader among these three children. She knows everything in her heart. She often takes a notebook to record lies, and she knows the situation of parents and tries to keep them from quarreling, persuade them to tell the truth, and let them They reconciled, and littie also contributed to the final storyline, such a sensible child is in reality the child that every parent likes. The three children have their own thoughts and their own unique way of thinking to feel the good and bad of the world, and they often think about some strange questions.

A pair of parents who quarrel from time to time, this is also the norm in life. The three children always say in front of their parents: Stop arguing. The child's actions are always irritable, and the little daughter's suffocation may all be caused by the parents' usual actions that have an impact on the child.

When the three children saw Grandpa Gordi, the smiles on their faces were beautiful, more like letting go of themselves. Gordi is a man who is different from adults, pursues simplicity and plainness, and shares common characteristics with children. He is willing to listen to children's hearts and communicate with them, even though the children's problems seem ridiculous to others. Playing on the beach with children on his 75th birthday may be the best birthday present for a 75-year-old! In the eyes of adults, the birthday must be decent and must be grand, but in the heart of the old man, he just hopes to be simple and natural without disputes. The old man's conversation with the children on the beach, and when littie knocked down the street sign, the old man said it was great, and the old man wanted to break the limit. The old man hoped that his own could be buried in the way of the Vikings. The old man expressed his fantasies, but in the eyes of the children, it was the real wish of the old man. They remembered it. The old man would not think that the children had fulfilled his hope .

After grandpa died, all the children would tell the adults that when little came home they would just quarrel as grandpa said, and they couldn't bury him the way grandpa wanted. The process of burying a grandfather in a child is very absurd. The process of gasoline, shipbuilding, and ignition is contrary to reality. But the innocence of the children and the effect of the movie make it all seem normal, the ending of the story is beautiful, everyone is transparent, and the feeling of watching it is very comfortable and pleasant.

Grandpa said: "Everyone in the world has their own ridiculous places, we should not judge, we should not quarrel, because in the end, everything is not important."
