At the beginning of the camera, three young people in the bright sunshine talked nonchalantly about the interesting things that happened in the shelter. The new volunteers listened to the inexplicable stories but were attracted by the people and things inside. Perhaps this shelter was not what he thought. So scary, he pondered. Suddenly the door was pushed open, the alarm bell rang, and the scrawny boy wearing the national flag rushed out of the shelter and ran towards the door. The three young men who were talking and laughing rushed straight to him, fell down, without success, and again, the camera was slow. Down, this short ten-second journey is getting longer and longer. What kind of place is the juvenile shelter, you and I have begun to plunge into the story. Any film starts with a simple dialogue of more than 10 minutes. It is very bold. If it is not for a solid dialogue writing skills, this most important 10 minutes can make you lose a lot of audience. The cleverness of the opening chapter is that these three people’s dialogues clearly explain the three people’s characters and the background of the story in the most true and unpretentious way, what kind of children are in it, the conflicts they may face, and the relationship between the protagonist and the supporting role. Many movies are designed to explain. The background of the story is often displayed through the perspective of a new outsider role, and the new volunteers here respond to the development of the plot from the perspective of the audience. Brie Larson is like Jennifer Lawrence back then, Debut again at a low-cost absolutely niche movie, and her strong acting skills will surely make her one of the best actress candidates at the end of the year. Brie plays the role of the administrator of the asylum in this film. She is young but very responsible. Through the conflict and communication between her and different children, the film constantly digs out the dark side of her heart. No matter how strong people are, there are times when they collapse. Even if the disguise is not injured, the scars will be suddenly shown to everyone. Fortunately, the film There is no such sensational crash or spiritual chicken soup scenes, everything is so peaceful, even the collapse of the heroine is so natural, and this makes me feel more deeply. We are all ordinary people, and no one collapses like the movie is as grand and thrilling. Many times, just like the people in the story, riding a bicycle, listening to a song, or lying next to a loved one, the stories in my heart that I don’t want to disclose can no longer be ignored, and then the tears come down, and the siege in my heart collapses. NS. Brie made the right choice at the end, but all those who have been hurt in the past cannot have an eraser of memory. All they can do is stay alive and continue to try to do the right thing in the process of constant self-examination of the blow. , She didn't put aside everything from the past, just like the name of this movie, it can't change much in just 12 weeks. The children in the shelter need a lifetime to relieve the scars of the past. I worked as a volunteer for 3 months in a shelter in Utah, USA 3 years ago. My duty is to provide help for Chinese learning and participate in the planning of children's activities. The atmosphere in this shelter is more tense than the one in the film. The children who come in are basically children of wealthy American family members who are not cared for by their parents all year round. Many of them tend to self-injure, and many of them need the help of medicine to relieve depression. When we first went in to help, the supervisor told us that we must be at a distance from all the children, even those who have worked there for a few years should keep all the children 2 Feet away, because some children have a very serious tendency to violence and will attack the administrator. An incident happened when I participated in the volunteer program. Every Tuesday night, some children had the opportunity to go to the local cinema with two administrators to watch a movie. A boy named M was leaving the hospital next week, so it was considered as a farewell party for him. After watching the movie, M told the administrator that he was going to ask the owner of the movie theater for a poster. At that time, one of the two administrators should follow him to ensure safety, but both of them thought that he would be discharged soon. , M ran to the trash can at the back of the cinema to find the glass, returned to the administrator, and scratched his wrist in front of them. Although it was not serious enough to go to the hospital, M must continue to live in the asylum. . Later, someone asked M why he did this. He said that instead of going out and facing the disappointed faces of his parents, he might as well let you down here. Although I was not present at the time of the accident, I can still remember M's expression of being indifferent to life and hopeless in the future. You must also think that this child is definitely not saved. I did think so at the time. Later I moved to California and had some contacts with M’s parents. I saw on his instagram that he smiled happily and went to college, went to the beach, and Friends playing and happy family photos, although he can still detect the disclosure of his insecurities, he also tries to cast aside the shadows of the past step by step. After all, life still has to go on. At the end of the film, the three people stood together again to talk about the children in the shelter and their future. Perhaps the shelter was not to change the children, not to make them forget, but to hope that they would try to make the right choice, one A little bit to escape the haze of the past.
