"Home Alone" Miscellaneous

When a friend recommended it on Christmas Day, he said that this movie is a must-have for Christmas and is worth three visits. Later, when I was watching this movie, I burst into tears as the old man and the child were chatting in church, and sometimes one would never think of the button that would trigger the tear duct at that moment. I can't remember the names of the characters in the movie clearly, but fortunately, the plot is simple, maybe because the simple and warm story is shown frame by frame, it will add to the profound memory. The protagonist is still an 8-year-old Kevin, but he is witty but also likes to cause trouble. He has a personality when we were young, and looks forward to one day being able to escape the clutches of "adults" and gain freedom. Before Christmas, the whole family plans to go to another city to spend their Christmas. Because there were too many children and too much luggage, I neglected the child on the top floor who fell asleep last night in a fit of rage. When he woke up the next day, Kevin found that his wish had really come true. He finally lived a free life, could finally play a game that was enough for his brother, and could eat more snacks. But after a day or two, Kevin gradually found that he missed them a little bit, and hoped that they could change back. In a movie for kids, maybe it's for adults. There, sometimes we look at the cuteness and funnyness of children, and also look at ourselves after growing up. When we were young, what we looked forward to most was growing up, but we really found that growing up was irreversible, and we wanted to take a time machine and return to the life of a child with sadness and troubles. . Of course, it's also just out of thin air, making fun of it. I will be amazed at this 8-year-old Kevin overcoming his fear and defeating the bad guys, applauding his independence and bravery, and sad at times for his sadness and loneliness. Just like "The Little Prince", it is a fairy tale for adults. Sometimes we are not necessarily as brave and optimistic as Kevin when it comes to bad people. The child met the legendary strange old man, but found that he was not as scary as the legend said. He was actually a kind-hearted grandfather. Cross the road, will scavenge waste to help more people. Sometimes the legendary things are not necessarily true, like ghosts, no one has seen them, but many people say they are scary, but no one has really seen them. I think, if there is, they and our world are independent of each other, and it is only possible to meet at a certain time. While we are afraid, we also look forward to it. They may turn into stars, turn into plants, or meet their loved ones in a dream. What I remember more deeply is the dialogue between Kevin and the old grandpa. Kevin used his child's perspective to simply solve the contradiction between the old grandfather and his son. He is very simple, he will find a solution when he encounters a problem, and if he has a conflict with his family, he will communicate with him as soon as possible. often grow up In the process, complicate the problem, and finally let the problem roll like a snowball, getting bigger and bigger. When we encounter difficulties, we all hope to be as brave as this 8-year-old child. Especially in the face of family members, this is actually a very simple topic. There are a lot of people who leave their best side to the people outside, but leave the most irritable and worst side to the people inside. Of course, this is an extreme example. What I just want to realize is that we all have a period of rebellion, we want to resist, we want to escape, but we can also use better methods to resolve conflicts with our families. The vast majority of parents are tolerant of our faults and willfulness. Finally, I borrowed a sentence from "Please Answer 1988": "They are also parents for the first time. Maybe something is wrong, please be more tolerant."
