Darling, didn't wake up

To be honest, this movie is not as good as I expected.
It's not that it doesn't look good... I can think of a lot of things, and I understand the next step, who will do it, and I understand it in my heart. Maybe not my TYPE.
To write something here, I really want to ask a question: If Carl hadn't taken the house and ended up at Wonderland Falls, would he have gone with Russell to save the bird.
My answer is no.
It's not that he can't fully understand until he reaches Wonderland Falls.
I saw the little girl sitting next to him was clearly dissatisfied when Carl ignored Kevin and Dug to save the house, just like Russell. I think if I was that age, I would be unhappy, and I can tell a lot of big truths, such as the true meaning of dreams, such as not getting rid of the fetters of the past and not being able to meet the future, such as he has deviated from Ellie's original intention.
However, in your place, will you let go?
Decades of time, no matter how many truths are piled up in front of you, even if you think back and forth in your heart and think thoroughly, will you let it go?
I looked at the screen and thought, Russell's right, he's not wrong at all, he just doesn't understand that the world is not right or wrong and can be separated. If I were put in Carl's place, I wouldn't save the bird, absolutely not, not even after watching this movie.
It's not a question of whether Carl wants to understand, I believe he thinks better than anyone else, but he can't.
With a child's state of mind, he can't understand what that house means to an old man.
He didn't know it was a shackle, but it was his sweetest shackle.
I always believe that Carl dragging the house to the Wonderland Falls is not a foreshadowing, not to set off the subsequent turning point and the sublimation of the ending. This is an inevitable thing, there is no need to arrange it, it will definitely happen.
He didn't go to understand what, he still chose this path after he understood.

In fact, the tone of this film is still positive, bright and beautiful. The theme is dreams, which is quite inspirational. However, I was moved by the back of the lonely and stubborn old man who was suddenly put on the opposite side.
Don't say things like "it's not important anymore" to such people lightly. Memories, old times, are always important. I never take it easy for Carl to say "it's just a house". He also understands that no one can go back to the old days, and to be more cruel, there is no such thing in this world that no one can't live without someone.
But he couldn't let go without hitting the south wall once.
I don't know if there is someone in the same mood as me, and I find Carl's sadness when he sees the house submerged by clouds very moving.
That little bit of sadness, behind the decades, is a person's life, is the helplessness of the twilight.
Don't casually talk about "relaxing" if you don't know how hard it is.

Everyone knows that they have to let go in the end.
But before saying goodbye solemnly, who will let go?
