Black Balloon: Cherish your own happiness

and don't worry, it's not that you are in a bad mood because you are out of favor. If you have had such an experience, you may understand the plight of the male protagonist. Thomas not only has a sister who needs him to be courteous, but even has to take care of his brother, an intellectually disabled young man of school age.
Maybe Thomas was just emotionally unable to accept the protection and preference of his parents for his brother, but since his brother accidentally broke into Maggie's house and made a very humiliating act, Thomas, who had a crush on Maggie, became particularly troubled, and this embarrassment was a constant. And happen again. No one wants such a member to appear in the family, but once, every family member has to take responsibility, because it is a relative.
But we can't expect the teenagers to fully understand that at such a special age and with such a rich life, no one has the right to interfere, not to mention the embarrassing embarrassment. How much Thomas wanted to get out of this predicament, he locked his brother in The bedroom, but it made him incontinent, when he heard his mother growl behind him, his heart must be tight, maybe he shouldn't blame him, but he couldn't get rid of it anyway, when he saw his brother innocently playing with the feces on the carpet, disgusting Besides, he won't feel guilty? If it were you or me, I would definitely think like Thomas, why can't I send him away? It's for his own good! He's a freak and I don't want to talk to him at all.
However, these words are simple and happy, but they are enough to break the mother's heart. Thomas may feel that he should have more rights that ordinary people should have, but for the mother, the two are equal, at least she is in Trying to maintain this equality is exhausting. Thomas is not wrong, no one is wrong, this is an objective tragedy, not a book or a play, people in the play can't feel trouble and leave and get rid of it, be happy, life must continue, the right path is vicissitudes, suffering To suffer. No matter how wronged they are, Thomas, most people will, like him, put down their self-esteem in the face of mother's choking, and rethink how to face life.
Your Brother will never be out to do the things you can, Tomas.
What does it mean to be sincere? This was the first sentence after the mother calmed down. The following words were mixed with emotions to some extent, with rebukes to Thomas, but this sentence was not watery. Watching his father take his mother to the hospital to check on his soon-to-be-born sister, his brother who had nothing to say was lying in a daze under the bed, Thomas must be very distressed at this time, almost alone, cleaning the carpet alone in his brother's room .
Dear Thomas, I don't want that either, but there's nothing I can do.
I don't even know why you're learning swimming ambulance in such a school, and you're the only landlubber. I have a deep understanding of the fear of water. Maybe Maggie is a gift from God, but it has set up such an insurmountable obstacle. Relax, she didn't alienate you because of this, you can definitely fight for what belongs to you, and you don't need to evade your responsibilities. Didn't she ask you how to say hello to Charlie? Even empathizing with your burden, yes, she gave you a shove, two, and everything would be fine, even if Charlie had her tampon in her mouth.
Her wet hair keeps brushing the tip of your nose, leaving water droplets on your cheeks, practicing rescue, she holds your chin, lips slightly open, 1, 2, 3, 4, muttering words, then leaning down haha Breathe out, repeat it over and over, and finally kiss you, as you expected.
However, you know, what must happen, Thomas, although it can't change the helpless fact, there is still a lot to do instead of standing there and frowning. Things are changing, but he is your brother.
Thomas had a big fight with Charlie at his own birthday party, and he could endure everything else, but he couldn't bear his brother masturbating to Maggie. Charlie, who didn't know where he was wrong, could only slam the floor to hurt himself, in addition to waving the light pole, to vent the pain in his heart. It was as if Maggie, who was out of the way, was thinking, the panicked parents really didn't know how or who to explain to them except to stop the farce.
Everyone is a victim. Everyone seems to have a tough attitude, but no one is qualified to blame, and carefully consider how to face it, you can forgive and be forgiven. You know, he is your brother, and late at night, he is still waiting for you outside the house.
The special school party was a success, Charlie probably didn't know how happy his family was for him, some he probably never knew, and didn't have to know, there's no way around it, Thomas, not everyone has a chance, in Do your best for those you can't give up in the powerless.
"Black Balloon" uses ordinary images to show the most simple but very moving family, courage and persistence. The film has two different posters. Compared with the verycd one, the other one in yellow can more accurately convey the film. the connotation. Although not as famous as France's "Red Balloon" and Iran's "White Balloon", this warm sketch from Australia is undoubtedly a perfect answer.
The title of the film "Black Balloon" refers to a story about self-confidence: as the group of white children who flew the hydrogen balloons went away, a black boy came to the corner of the park. He timidly asked the old man if he could sell a balloon. For him, I want a black one. He loosened his little hand, and the black balloon rose slowly in the breeze.
The hydrogen balloon will not lose the ability to fly because of external differences.
Charlie cannot be treated unfairly because of his intellectual disability.
Thomas, will not give up his loved ones because of troubles and grievances.
None of this can stop you from cherishing the unavoidable happiness.
