After reading it four times, I finally understand why TS wants to start this journey.

The first time, to the effect.
The second time, some small snippets that I like.
The third time, some small details.
The fourth step is the outline and how it relates.

I just wanted to write down some of the things I thought about the fourth time.
I have been thinking about why such a small child travels to half a country to receive an award.
But the focus has always been on his little thoughts, narrating his own mental journey by himself.

The fourth time, I kind of figured it out.
It is not difficult to see from the interspersed that TS is very guilty of his brother's death, and he thinks he is responsible.
The family didn't blame him, they didn't accuse him.

But everyone in the family was very sad. Although they didn't accuse him, they didn't comfort him either.
In TS, his father lost his favorite son.
In her mother's eyes, she was an empty house. She has not fulfilled her role as a mother.

He needs someone to speak these words, he needs a window. but.

He insisted on writing the speech by himself. At the last third point, he said it.
At the moment he finished speaking, he returned to the little intellectual who knew everything.

He is extremely clever, but he is also a child.
He has a soft heart.

    "What's special about water droplets is that they always find the path of least resistance. For humans, it's the opposite." "Humans create so many right angles, yet their behavior is complex and absurd." The road trip of the genius young Speyway, exploring the unknown journey and reconciling with all the past. The main point of view of children makes the style of the whole film more interesting and fantastic. The bright colors and fresh photography make people feel like they are in a warm and soft fairy tale. Small body, big energy, whimsy and fun. Sparrow, layton, toastet, home is always the warmest harbor.

    I'm sure I've seen this movie, but I can't remember anything...
