I don’t know why it should be translated as a baby lover. It is not the ignorant love of "Lang rides on a bamboo horse and makes green plums around the bed" as I imagined, nor is it the youthful love affair of "Flipped". Like "Juneo", "First Kiss" In the same way, I think the film is about an experience, a process, a segment of life. It's like taking a picture from an album, and its theme is not "love".

Vinda has always wondered if he killed his mother, felt that he was going to die, and was afraid of the corpse that needs makeup at home. These are all about fear and thinking about death. We all came here when we were young, afraid of the dark and afraid of ghosts. It's just that Vinda's environment is even more special. The family is a funeral home. His mother passed away due to a dystocia. My father thought Vinda had accepted all this, but she was not. She is very anxious, feels uncomfortable and is dying. As human beings, we are all at a loss about death. We use religion and science to explain, let alone a child? After Thomas died, Vader experienced very painful days, and finally she comforted Thomas’ mother: my mother will take care of him. This shows that she has found a way to explain accepting death.

    Barely four stars. After watching a bad movie for a day, I finally watched a good movie that I liked. Although the story is mediocre, the filming is not bad. The two children are so cute, especially the little girl who plays the lead role quite well. 7.8

    2010.7.11 What is death? Just never. Even the little girl in the funeral home has to experience the sadness in person, and this is also part of growing up.

My Girl quotes

  • Shelly: She won't come out. It's been a whole day. You have to do something, Harry.

    Harry: The funeral's starting.

    Shelly: Open your eyes, she's eleven years old! Her only friend in the world is dead.

    Harry: I know that, but what do you want from me?

    Shelly: Stop hiding, Harry! You run, Harry. When I first came here, the idea of working with dead people didn't exactly thrill me. When I saw a family that lived here, I thought, if I'm living without a family, at least I can work with one and maybe, once in a while, be invited in for supper.

    Harry: Yeah... and when those suppers are disrupted because there's a car crash, or there's a fire, or a little boy steps on a beehive...

    Shelly: I'm not asking you to stop caring for those people. But life isn't just death, Harry. Don't ignore the living, especially your daughter.

  • Vada: Weeping willow with your tears running down, why do you always weep and frown? Is it because he left you one day? is it because he could not stay? On your branches he would swing, do you long for the happiness that day would bring? He found shelter in your shade. You thought his laughter would never fade. Weeping willow, stop your tears. There is something to calm you fears. You think death has ripped you forever apart. But I know he'll always be in your heart.
