May each of us be a miracle

"Miracle Boy" is a movie I watched at home this winter vacation. To be honest, the name of the movie didn't attract me very much. Maybe there are too many movies about "miracles", or maybe there are too few "miracles" in reality. However, the original untranslated English film is called "wonder", and "wonder" is a very magical word in my opinion, just like it is, it is amazement, miracle, admiration, maybe in this film "Wonder" also contains multiple meanings.

The way this film unfolds is very unique. Through different perspectives of different people, one by one misunderstandings are created but solved at random, the protagonist Auggie's misunderstanding of his friend Jack Will, and the misunderstanding of sister Via's friend Miranda. , even between my sister and my mother, there has always been a knot that has not been solved. But in fact, looking at it from another angle, it is not difficult for us to find that these misunderstandings occur because we cannot bear the pressure brought by this world. Jack faces the ridicule of most people at Auggie, and the relationship between himself and Auggie. The pressure of friendship, will follow the crowd to tell Julian and the others that he hates Auggie, leading to misunderstanding. In order to be able to integrate into the small group, her sister Via lied that she was an only child and denied the existence of her ugly brother. In order to convince others that she was living a good life, Miranda made up a series of lies to prove it, which led to her own death. Cracks appear in friendship. None of them are malicious, they just choose to hide themselves in the way of "most people" in the face of the pressure brought by this world and society, so that they don't look so special. And Auggie is a special case. He couldn't hide himself because of his appearance. He chose to take off the astronaut helmet. The reason why he is a miracle is because he resisted the pressure of the outside world and became himself.

May everyone respect and tolerate themselves when giving more kindness and friendship to the world. May each of us be a miracle.

    A simple and warm story, a fairy tale that is a bit idealized but also willing to believe. At first I thought it was a bit bland, but it was a little interesting to look at it from the perspective of different characters.

    Watching the mysterious superstar recently, all the Miracle Boys have tears in their eyes. I thought about it, it should have been a long time since I shed tears, and I, who are about to lose my humanity, must be familiar with the matter of being touched.

Wonder quotes

  • Mr. Tushman: The final award this morning is the Henry Ward Beecher medal to honor students who have been notable or exemplary. Usually, it's a "good works," a service award. But I came upon a passage that he wrote, which made me realize that good works come in many forms. "Greatness," he wrote, "lies not in being strong, but in the right using of strength. He or she is the greatest whose strength carries up the most hearts by the attraction of his own." Without further ado, this year, I am very proud to award the Henry Ward Beecher medal to the student whose quiet strength has carried up the most hearts.
