God created the world in seven days, Tim Thomas ruined the lives of seven people in seven seconds, and he decided he wanted to do something for the seven people injured in that car accident to make amends for his sins and at the same time complete his own Soul redemption, so I carefully planned a plan to help these seven people, giving my house to a single mother who suffered from her boyfriend's violence, and transplanting my lungs, liver and bone marrow to those injured in the car accident, but these are not enough, because the car accident And the blind pianist Ezrl should return to the bright world that originally belonged to him, and accompany the children's innocent smiling faces with the happy sound of the piano. Emily should have a healthy heart and continue to work with her printer to print all kinds of exquisite for everyone. 's business card...
So, he made a careful plan and raised a beautiful jellyfish in a tall glass bucket, which was the most poisonous creature in the world that his father told him before his death. This must be very happy, because there is no cure, so all my plans can be realized. In fact, Tim Thomas is not at all a person who can resolutely leave the living environment and personal world he is attached to. Otherwise, how could he have cultivated pure love in the few dealings with Emily? Walking on the grass in the suburbs with Emily's dog that doesn't eat meat, how could he stop talking so many times, watching Emily tell her little wishes, how could she rub her wordlessly Although there are no words on the cheeks, the words expressed in the eyes, in addition to the love for the woman in front of him, there is a stronger emotional hope that can be pinned, that is, the attachment to the world. This expressive performance can be called the best part of Will Smith in the whole film. If you read his eyes at that time, you should find the poisonous mushroom hidden in your heart.
We all know that the brighter the color of the mushroom, the more poisonous it is. This is the survival trick of those seemingly docile and lovely creatures. The pursuit of a bright appearance is usually to cover up something that cannot be shown. This is especially true of the highly poisonous jellyfish. Tim Thomas was impressed by the jellyfish when his father took him to the aquarium. He seems to have a common sense for this creature that lives in the water but has a beautiful mushroom body. The love of life, but at that time he never realized that the escape, fear, and indecision in his character were like the jellyfish whose appearance was so perfect that it could not help but grow arbitrarily in his heart. The process of realizing this was full of pain and suffering, but after all, I realized it, and I mustered up the courage to completely pull out the poisonous mushroom-like jellyfish, gouging out the roots, which is very tragic and complete.
This story may be more acceptable to Westerners. After all, "redemption" is something in the Western religious system, and Westerners have more resonance with it. This kind of torture of the soul is almost a religious worship, so the film Will choose to meet the audience on the birthday of Jesus. The redemption methods shown in the film may seem a bit extreme and are not worth learning from, but there are few such things as soul torture and self-redemption in our cultural tradition, especially need to constantly reflect on yourself, abandon false fame and fortune, be open-minded, open-minded and open-minded. Integrity and bravery are long-established traditional virtues. The bright mushroom nourished by poison and evil grows in the darkest corner of the heart, and needs various virtues to correct its abnormal growth. The most thorough way is to uproot it and gouge out the piece of carrion that keeps it growing. Although there is pain, it will be great in the end.
