Gradually face the dark courage

It took him 20 seconds to meet her, and another year to walk out of the shadow of losing her.

It only took 20 seconds of courage for him to meet her. She gave him a good life, but it also made it difficult for him to face up to a life without her. In the same 20 seconds, he bought the zoo, which gradually gave him the courage to continue his life.

In my opinion, the life of many people is always troubled by the same shadow, trapped in deep, constantly making my life more unpleasant under my behavior, and then struggling to live through it. In his life, there has never been a main line about himself. This is the beauty given by the freedom and education of this world, giving people the opportunity to lead this life, not the past, only a few people.

All healing movies are related to this. You are uncomfortable, you are in pain, and you encounter an event that makes you divert your attention, devote yourself to it, and learn the value of your existence.

Rejoice in the beauty, it was a long time ago that I last saw this movie. I forgot more or less, but I still remember that I actually read it patiently at the time. Regarding the topic of courage, I am very envious of the male protagonist's sentence about courage. And I always lack those twenty seconds to start a new journey. And many times I always think that excellent people will have the continuous courage to face life, but the answer is not like this, I will watch this movie later.

Most of your thoughts have become, you need something that can prove yourself to act, so that you can continue to restore your confidence, and let yourself begin to think that you have a worthwhile existence. If 20 seconds of courage is your strength to start a journey, what gets you over all obstacles is something you can achieve and love. And the whole question is, do you have the courage to take on those problems and fight back.

We Bought a Zoo quotes

  • Benjamin Mee: What happened with you and Lily?

    Dylan Mee: I don't know. I guess I didn't listen to something she told me or something? I mean, I liked her. It's like you embarrass yourself if you say something, and you embarrass yourself if you don't.

    [Benjamin chuckles. Dylan smiles as well]

    Benjamin Mee: I like it when you talk. You know, sometimes all you need is 20 seconds of insane courage. Just, literally, 20 seconds of just embarrassing bravery. And I promise you, something great will come of it.

    [Dylan looks thoughtful, but doesn't say anything for a while]

    Dylan Mee: I never know what to say to you.

    Benjamin Mee: I'm the same way. Why don't we just tell each other what we wish the other guy would say?

    Dylan Mee: "I'm sorry I brought you out to the sticks."

    Benjamin Mee: "You're a great dad."

    [both Dylan and Benjamin laugh]

    Dylan Mee: 20 seconds of courage. 20 seconds of courage. Okay. Okay.

    [knocks on Lily's window. She squeals a disturbed noise, turns around and sees him. She walks to the window and opens it]

    Lily Miska: Hi.

    Dylan Mee: Hi. Look, am I nuts to say that I missed you like crazy a lot? A lot!

    [Lily shakes her head]

    Dylan Mee: I was... I wasn't named after Bob Dylan. I was named after a dog named Dylan.

    Lily Miska: [laughs] I don't really care. Who cares. Sorry about the rain.

    Dylan Mee: No, I love it. I love your hair, I love your sign, Lily, I love you.
