Lonely people always cherish each other

After watching a movie, I always want to write something. Because I am afraid that I will forget it someday in the future, and when I look back, it can evoke my memory, help me find myself, or find our lost life.

The heroine Eleanor is a poor girl with a very bad family: her sister works in a bar, and her mother and father divorced and lived with her father's younger brother. She broke up with her boyfriend again, and lost her job. But she used to be a musician, and to make a living, she sold all her own instruments (Corner tubes). It all made her feel lonely and lost.

The hero is a 12-year-old musical prodigy who plays the cello well. And he likes reading very much and is very erudite, his erudition is beyond his age. His family is wealthy, but he has always been lonely. His father died when he was young, his mother was eccentric, and his mother also had a man who did business in China.

Their meeting was accidental. After she lost her job, she became a babysitter for the little boy's house. In the process of their getting along, they gradually learned about the loneliness and loss in each other's hearts. He himself said that art was dead and would never play the violin again. But later encouraged her to return to her music, saying that she has artistic talent and should not give up. And she also encouraged him not to give up. She said if you don't give up, I won't give up either.

Usually, he always took good care of her, asked her if she was hungry, took her to expensive restaurants, cooked for her, and even did not forget to give her snacks to eat on the road when they parted at the end. Also, the scene where they ate popcorn and watched a movie together was heartwarming.

Finally she returned to the home she had never wanted to go back to and saw the Corne tube he had sent her. She picked it up and played. They played the same piece together in different spaces, which is the sad and touching [Like Sunday, Like Rain] he once wrote. They comfort each other in music and understanding. Find yourself.

Lonely people always cherish each other. There was always a moment when I burst into tears, perhaps when he recited Keats' poems fondly. Or when he played that piece of his own composition, intoxicated and silent. Perhaps when he was parting, he said to her: It's really hard to believe, I've only been with you for a few months, and it feels like I've known you for a lifetime.
