The plot didn't impress me, but the mother of the main character, Wei Yihang, did, and it was very real and very brave.
Her child has a brain tumor, and like all Chinese families with cancer, she scrimps on food and clothing, pretends she has no cash, pretends she has no cell phone signal, and snickers when she succeeds in order to save five dollars on parking.
Not only from the life of the moment to pay attention to the child to do anti-cancer food. The most important to give the child the strength to live, crying and laughing at the same time, the strength of the mother, is the basis of Wei Yihang's change of heart, and only when he really understand the parents' resilience and stoicism, he can really face and accept the world, whether it is beautiful or cruel.
There are several details in the movie that show the power of mothers:
1, encouraging Wei Yihang to get to know new friends, and at the same time, betting with his father on whether the child would go to the appointment or not, and then smiling happily after winning, was happy to be taking a step forward for the child
2, Wei Yihang secretly watched the live broadcast of the girl he liked, and his mother barged in, and he awkwardly covered down the screen, and was misunderstood by his mother to be watching a small movie, but he did not worry and did not get nervous. The movie, no worry, no tension, but instead generous and the child to apologize, said he should knock on the door, but also estimate the child with a smile, to give the child enough space
3, very real and the child to talk about their own when they were young: afraid of the dark, afraid of being alone ...... have a child but the sky and the earth is not afraid of it
4, when Wei Yihang ask When Wei Yihang asked his mother, "If one day he is no longer there, how will they live", Wei Yihang's mother was stunned for a moment. She didn't want to or dare to face that possible moment, and excused herself to dry her clothes and walked away.
Later, he and his father overcame the family's taboo on "death" and made a video showing "life without you"
They went to the market, danced, ate vinegar, and participated in activities for family members who are fighting cancer, just like they always do.
From time to time, the movie conveys that the family is struggling to make ends meet in order to treat the child, and that the family is restless and fearful of "death" while waiting for the results of the review, and that there is a fear of the pain of loss, but there is no bitterness or hatred, and the audience is not led into the suffocating despair, which, I think, has much to do with the portrayal of the mother's truthfulness, perseverance, and bravery, and a little bit of humor. I think it has a lot to do with the portrayal of the mother: real, tough, brave, and a little humor.
In real life, many people do not experience such fear and despair. But there are always all kinds of setbacks in life, some people are bitter, some people are cock-a-hoop, some people are in despair with hope ...... and the mother's attitude at this time is the core of the whole family.
"Discovering Mother" says this:
"Fundamentally, the attachment to the mother is the human spirit depends on the existence of the foundation and do not know the collapse of the human spirit, but also people are able to continue to expand the frontiers of their own existence according to the human being, all the beliefs are derived from the belief in the mother is an alternative form of belief in the mother, otherwise the face of the vast and boundless universe, the lonely human beings will lose their existence. The lonely human being will lose the root of his existence ...... The child's attachment to his mother will over time become the child's psychological support, and the mother is the giver of this psychological energy."
