"The Light of My Life" - an adventure of love

I seldom write long-length film reviews, once I have no time, and there are few films that touch the soul. But "The Light of My Life" hits my heart with a simple and unpretentious narrative. Rather than the grand narratives of patriotism or heroism that are popular these days, the story incorporates issues of sex education, feminism and racism into Affleck's father and daughter's bedtime story. The content of the film can be summed up very simply. All the women in the world are destroyed by the plague, and a father keeps fleeing to protect his daughter from harm. The tone of the film is not melancholy, but the performance of the father and the girl makes it full of warmth and warmth. Don't give up hope, because there is light ahead, and the camera is constantly switching between the forest and the suspension bridge. The father and daughter look so against the background. Small, strong winds, heavy rain, severe cold, blizzard, and few sunny sunny days. But even so, the audience never saw the father stop, which may be the strength of being a parent. The bedtime story at the beginning of the film is an insinuation of reality. Affleck can be said to be the fox named Art. The best species on Noah's Ark actually refers to his daughter. Later, the daughter adapted the ending of the story, and also for her. After her father was injured, the roles of her and her father changed. The father played by Affleck poured all his love into his daughter and didn't want her to suffer any harm, so at the end of the film, when he realized that after fleeing again and again, he was really about to be unable to protect his daughter, he leaned on her daughter's Crying on the shoulder. Of course, the tears are because I am moved by my daughter's growth and caring for myself, but more of it is the worry about the future and the helplessness and self-blame that I realize that I may not be able to continue to protect my daughter. I really like the way the film handles the background explanation. It is not straight to the point, but straightforward. At first, the seemingly long and boring bedtime story gradually becomes an expectation as the plot develops. This story symbolizes father and daughter. Communication, reconciliation, growth and love for each other. "The Light of My Life" is an adventure of love, may this light never die, may this journey never end.

    Too wordy, a bit pretentious

    For a family film with a relatively ordinary look and feel after the screening, I feel that the setting of the big background does not reflect its unique meaning.
