In the winter of 2003, while I was preparing for the professional exam for the Conservatory of Music, I was walking in the night market not far downstairs one day. I saw a DVD, and was immediately attracted by its cover. I saw the child star in a magazine before, and he said something very interesting: "Except for the movies I acted in, all Hollywood movies are not suitable for children."
I brought it back to Handan from Tianjin and put it on the shelf for a long time, because there is no DVD player at home. I can't even imagine what the content would be.
It turned out to be a story of a Philadelphia child psychiatrist who helped a child who was difficult to help, but failed. Later, he took over a very similar child, and when he was on the verge of failure, he found a turnaround and succeeded. The warmth and melancholy it interprets are very distinct and very touching.
I've watched this movie no less than a hundred times, and even saw it cut down on YouTube, which wasn't banned back then. It's become one of my favorite movies, and I learn something new every time I watch it.
Thinking of buying it back at all costs just because of the feeling of the cover, do I also have a sixth sense?
I haven't watched it in six or seven years. In the past two years, I have had more interactions with my children, which suddenly made me want to watch it, and I watched it again last night.
Let's talk about the latest impression yesterday. In all occasions, ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, it is enough if you don't open your mouth, and you will see success or failure as soon as you open your mouth. At the child's house, the two-man game of "stepping", which I always thought was a failed and frustrating exchange, was what the doctor then told his wife: "Yesterday's interview was very unsuccessful." But it was true It was a very successful emotional communication. It is from this conversation that the child trusts him. Although he backed out and said, "You can't help me." But the child said this, it was the first time he responded to the doctor's first kindness with the kindness he could, and the next time the two were together, the child And the doctor has walked side by side.
How on earth do children trust some people and not others? Maybe it's just the feeling of looking into their eyes, think of the phrase "I don't like people looking at me that way."
And that "your eyes told me."
Maybe we're all like that doctor, telling so many stories, it's our eyes that tell the bigger story.
Their frequency is right, and their eyes can reach the same place, so they take care of the doctor and tell the most important things that he can do. But just like that "step-by-step" game, this time the actual dialogue was unsuccessful, but it was indeed an extremely successful emotional exchange.
During their most difficult conversation, the doctor said he was giving up and that he didn't take enough care of his family. The emotional exchange between the two also reached a fever pitch. What a heavy burden the child bears at this time, not only his own, but also the doctor's to some extent. When he was about to lose hope and trust, he did not lose his kindness and reason, but told him in despair: "Some magic is true." Now that they are separated, return the coin, just like the ring...
The child is the man who took refuge in the church from the Middle Ages, and then King Arthur; and the doctor is the prince in the story who drives away, the coin. All it takes is such a pretense, and something magical happens. What a blessing and kindness is unleashed when the child finally says "just pretend"! We just have to think of his initial kindness when he said, "You can't help me."
The warmth and melancholy I felt before in this movie add up to the compassion I understand now.
Those who truly have a sixth sense, those who truly believe in it, are absolutely merciful and compassionate. God can't err on this one.
God only shows secrets to merciful and selfless people. Compassion is the true sixth sense.
