About farewell and departure.

Recently, I am obsessed with positive energy/healing movies. Beautiful lens. Kind music. Sunlight. rainwater. animal. child.

Farewell is one of the most eternal themes in life. We have kept saying goodbye from the moment we were born.

Say goodbye to the mother’s womb, farewell to the infant’s swaddling, farewell to the schoolchildren’s classroom, farewell to our love, farewell to our relatives, farewell to our work, until we say goodbye to ourselves and our lives.

But the end is the new beginning. The dead past can only be exchanged for new life. This is the most eternal reincarnation that is irreversible. New things will always replace old things.

Saying goodbye is not an easy process. It also requires you to summon up "20 seconds of embarrassing courage".

This film is somewhat similar to my favorite "Silver Linigs Playbook" in 2012. The protagonists are suffering from tragedies or hardships in life. But fortunately, they always hold a positive belief in life. After experiencing the test and self-salvation given by life, they finally discovered the ray of sunshine behind the haze of life.

Movies are such a wonderful thing. Maybe something looks so ethereal and dramatic, but in the end we will still believe that those optimism and beauty, the purest emotions in our hearts will always be aroused.
