keep distance

A story about being forced to separate is very touching. In fact, I don’t know much about Indian culture. The different cultures shown in the movie made me feel very different! The last episode was so touching, I was in tears!

That little boy did a really good job!

In fact, I have been growing up in my hometown since I was a child. When I was 30 years old, I decided to leave my hometown. It was the opposite of the movie. The protagonist came back and I ran away. You said that if the protagonist didn't go out with his brother that day to take care of his sister, wouldn't he get lost, and his brother wouldn't be killed by a train because he was looking for him, he would live in his hometown, what would it be like? Living a bottom-level life of non-stop for life and food, I think it is very likely that this is the case!

I have now made the decision to leave. No, I am fleeing. I have been outside for 2 months. I plan to go home for the New Year. I have also made plans to live outside. Life outside is a bit difficult, but I don’t think it is that much. Depressed, the so-called in the name of love at home is too strong, I can't be myself, I can't let myself get out of the past, I think my decision is correct, I came to a city far away from home, and began to have Changed, I also found my love, I still firmly told myself to pursue my heart, face the past and come out.

Some love too close will be a kind of hurt, some love too far is a kind of hope. Therefore, keeping a distance is a good way to deal with the poor family relationship of origin. Just like in the movie, the love that is far away will become so precious! (This is my understanding of the movie).

    When can they stop this pompous White-men/women-save-the-world-and-make-it-a-better-place nonsense!?! Rooney Mara characters and title cards are optional for the plot development of…

    Sue Brierley: That's one of the reasons I fell in love with your dad.

    [pause]

    Sue Brierley: Because we both felt as if... the world has enough people in it. Have a child, couldn't guarantee it will make anything better. But to take a child that's suffering like you boys were. Give you a chance in the world. That's something.
