choose your true self

Seventeen-year-old shy boy Ben was born in a conservative Christian family. His mother was strict and enthusiastic, helping children in the church to rehearse holy plays; his father was a gentle and refined pastor, who often hid in his study and immersed himself in his own world. middle. Ben met his own God-Eve was in the garden of her house. When Eve saw this young man who was introduced by an intermediary to work for her, she should have known that he did not belong to her family. . For seventeen years, he worked strictly in accordance with all rules to satisfy his mother's wishes and not depart from God's way. And Eve, the actor of the past, although over fifty years old, is still headstrong, poetic, stubborn and impulsive.
In this way, Eve entered Ben's world with a huge impact. He pretended to swallow the car keys to force Ben to stay at the campsite and enjoy nature with her; and on the way back, he pretended to have cancer and only had a week left to live. Take her on a journey to Edinburgh.
This journey is destined to be full of conflicts. On the way to the road, I was confused because Eve was "making things difficult" for herself; the return journey was a process of discovering herself in the conflict. Ben promised to accompany Eve to participate in the poetry reading, but he forgot the time to have fun with a girl all night, and the nervous Eve made a big fool on the stage. So the most embarrassing and distressing scene happened on the way back from Edinburgh. Eve finally screamed at Ben sadly: "The only time I needed you and you let me down, the only time you were with some big person, is it so difficult to show up?" At that time, Eve's face was like The wounded child is undeniably moving. And Ben, from this moment, really knows what responsibility and commitment are. And the most beautiful picture also appeared on the way back. Ben and Eve stood by the lake in the early morning, looking at the junction of the vast water and sky, Eve groped and held Ben's hand, watching a water bird in the gloomy Flying alone on the lake, flying a little struggling and a little lonely, but after all disappeared into the haze in his own direction.
It can be said that Ben and Eve need each other equally. After returning from the trip, Ben finally escapes from the stage of the holy drama and tells Eve that she is his best friend; Eve also rushes into the church to take him out of his old life. She said: "If you support me, I will support you." This friendship between the old and the young is so simple and equal, it seems to be a kind of friendship that has long since disappeared. After Ben chose the path to college for himself, he wrote to Eve: You let me know it's good to be myself. At this time, we can't help but think of what the pastor said at the beginning of the film: God tells us that true faith is the freedom to choose the truth. If you are true to yourself and treat others the way you expect others to treat you, you are a Christian. As long as it is in your heart that you are real.
It's hard to choose your true self, but what's even sadder than that is to hide in a camouflage and refuse to probe, right? Being yourself may be hard, but as Eve said: No matter how hard life is, it's just a day in life, and the outcome is up to you.

    The consistent theme of growth in Europe and the United States is "be yourself", which makes the British ridicule the sanctimonious religious people, recite Shakespeare's poems, drive the mini, and complete the PS without hurry. Ron is too cute and cute. people love
