Live quietly

The role of Fen does not represent the dwarf (handicapped) who exists in the life of the minority. I think in a broader sense, he represents many adults who are traumatized and escape reality. Just like Olivia, who lost her son in the middle age and faced a marital crisis, is also like Joe, a young man who wanders alone and has a bad relationship with his father. Most of the time, this movie is a meaningless display of life. Strictly speaking, without a complete story structure, it is not even a complete movie. However, until the end, you still don't feel that the 90-minute period seems to be a fake for the soul. It is really like a translation of the name, and you have come to a "mind station". Fen is a train enthusiast. He is passionate about chasing meaningless trains in a boring life, calculating the time of train arrival, repairing old train cars, walking back and forth on the tracks alone,..., What a meaningless life, but such a life made up for his broken and indifferent heart.

    If a person chooses to live in a distant place, there must be reasons for him to be unknown. Very quiet movie, like a story that is happening somewhere, there is no heroic victory for the dwarf to become a celebrity, even if you have to muster the courage to face what you have been avoiding, the little friends will point out your deepest pain. But every heart has what it has to bear, irrespective of or related to appearance, and there is nowhere to hide. Maybe acceptance itself is not so easy

    It's a bit boring, but there are also a few moments when I want to live a very simple life and face very few people.
