It can be said that what he does is completely normal behavior of an optimistic and sincere ordinary man in the face of the unknown, but if his behavior is compared with the hatred of magic by the leaders of Second Salem, his sincerity Compared with many people's fear of magic, especially in the context of the whole world view, which is constantly emphasized "once magic is exposed, it will lead to war", and people can't help but sigh that Jacob accepts Newt and his party so calmly. How unusual.
In the cinema, I watched him marvel at the strangeness and mystery of the wizarding world again and again, and thought of myself again and again. When I was in the second grade of elementary school, when I first came into contact with the HP series, when the door to that fantasy world opened to me, my face at that time might have the same expression as his. We are all ordinary people. They were all involved in such a bizarre adventure when they were unprepared.
However, the difference is that, outside of the story, my memories of the magical world have continued from the past to the present. Jacob in the story, his experience is wonderful but short. He was forced to be involved in this world at first, and no one had consulted his wishes. After witnessing all this incredible, especially after having such a beautiful love and friendship, who would be willing to forget it? But it still doesn't work. Just like being forced to start, the adventures belonging to ordinary people are forced to come to an end.
I can not accept. I can't accept even a little memory about HP, not to mention the best memory like Jacob's. Although more beautiful memories can be created as long as people are still alive, many things only happen once, irreplaceable, and will not be repeated. If you forget, you will forget. People can't step into the same river twice, and even if they go back to that moment, it's not the same as before.
When I saw Jacob taking the initiative to step into the rain, I thought of what Sugimoto, a small supporting character in the animation of "The Twelve Kingdoms", who also strayed into the world of the Twelve Kingdoms as an ordinary person, said before leaving, "I came to a world. , but that's not my world." How cruel and painful it is.
I couldn't accept it, but Jacob accepted it. How unwilling he was, but he still smiled and comforted his companion and his lover who was about to be a stranger. That's what impresses me most about this character... His every move is reasonable, but considering his identity, it's so different. In this ordinary person, there have always been some extremely unusual things flashing.
In the end, their reunion in the bakery was somewhat lacking. From the perspective of the plot, the kiss under the transparent umbrella in the rain is more regretful and beautiful. But as a viewer, I am also willing to accept such a sweet ending. Just as I am willing to accept their love conveyed to people, even in different worlds, as long as you are sincere enough, human beings may be able to understand each other at a certain moment.
I don’t know if such a story will happen in reality. When you meet someone, the moment you look at each other, you feel as if you have been placed under an oblivion spell, and you fall in love at first sight for the second time.
