Finding Paradise Falls

This is a story about dreams.
There are all the things we may no longer have, colorful balloons, flying colorful houses, pure hearts, courage to pursue dreams, and love for a lifetime.
Many, many years ago, we all had dreams that were as colorful and splendid as those balloons above the grandfather's house. Can we still remember those dreams now? Like grandpa's yellowed scrapbooks, those dreams are buried at the bottom of our hearts, a corner that we ourselves rarely touch. The reality is trivial and depressing. It is the gray and monotonous reinforced concrete city that contrasts sharply with the grandfather's flying house in the film, which makes us gradually forget the original pure and beautiful dream.
However, as He Caitou said, even a pig rolling in the mud would occasionally raise its head to look up at the stars. Maybe one day, like the old grandfather, we will pull out the yellowed scrapbook that records the dream of our life, put on the badge of grape soda, and firmly cross our hearts to pursue the paradise falls in our hearts.
This journey of chasing dreams may also be the grandfather's journey of self-discovery. He walked out of the house he hadn't walked out of since the death of his beloved wife, even throwing away his and his wife's favorite chairs to save the little boy. Once, he regarded these things as a symbol of the last bond with his wife. Because at this time, he has already understood that the truly beautiful things do not need to rely on these items to save in vain, they have long been treasured in his heart.
In the end, the bad guy failed, the bird was saved, the house finally fell on the edge of paradise falls with the help of God, the little boy became a high-level adventurer, the old man has a family who loves him, the world in fairy tales is still So beautiful...
Like last year's WALL-E, Pixar still brings us the purest and most beautiful things. Exquisite pictures, bright colors, who said that technology must be the natural enemy of all pure and beautiful things?
It's about a dream.So, give full marks~~~^_^
