Aging makes people feel pity and pity with the lion!
The lion escaped the fate of being hunted. She wandered freely in this old manor. The climate of Texas is like Africa, and the air smells of weeds. She was lying in a cornfield. To her, it was a forest, a past that was billowing in smoke and dust, and she was waiting for death in her memories.
Until one day, the little boy who had been feeding her was beaten by the bad guys. She was furious and restored to her former glory. She pressed the bad guys under her body, but the anger caused the already fragile heart to fail quickly. In the end, she died on the bad guys. .
Even aging did not make a lion lose its dignity.
In the movie "Seconghand Lions" ("Seconghand Lions"), this is an unimportant passage. In fact, the whole film is about a 14-year-old boy who gets along with his two uncles.
In the summer of 1962, Walter (Haley Joel Osment) was sent to the old farm by his mother, together with Shade (Robert Duwall) and Caine (Michael Caine) Two uncles are on summer vacation.
Xia De and Jiafu lived an extraordinary life. They traveled to France during World War I, were conscripted into the French Overseas Legion, and fought countless battles in Africa. After the end of the First World War, Xia De eliminated the slave trade for the government. The birth and death in the war had already tempered Xia De into a fighter who could be ten. Later, he met Jesseman, the most beautiful princess of Western Sahara, and began a lingering love history, but the princess had long been betrothed to a domineering chief, and the ruinous chief offered a reward of 10,000 gold for chasing and killing Shade and the princess, even though Shade was pregnant. He is brave and good at fighting every time, but it is not a way to fight for life all day long. Xia De decided to go deep into the tiger's den, and with the help of Jiafu, sneak into the chief's palace to fight with him. Xia De defeated the chief without killing him, but rode away on horseback. Later, Jesseman died of a dystocia in childbirth, and the desperate Shard returned to the French Overseas Corps for forty years. He did not return to Texas until the evening scene, just like that old lion.
But who would believe that these fairy tale-like bizarre experiences once happened to two bald old men? So some people say that they are bank thieves, mafia, Nazi war criminals... Walter didn't believe it very much, until Uncle Schade told him that it didn't matter whether some things were true or false. People believed them because they were worth believing.
Finally, when the two uncles flew into the blue sky when they were ninety years old, doing all kinds of difficult tricks, they crashed into the barn when they were preparing to land. They did not die on the sickbed, nor did they pity their short life, just like the old lion, dying with dignity.
You may wonder, isn't it a growing movie? What about the little boy's story? Actually I am the little boy, everyone who watches this movie is. Suddenly I remembered what my father told me about my experience when I was young. It was my "Second-hand Lion"...
