In fact, I didn't expect this film to become so heavy. Unwelcome, mocked, blocked, death, and parting. Power, prejudice, sarcasm, incomprehension to anger and loss. Expulsion and prejudice are real. There are not so many stories of heroes and heroes saving the earth in the world. The heroine is just an ordinary unarmed person from beginning to end. Even if the old man coughed up the last drop of blood, he could not become a gust of wind that cleared the dark clouds.

Is it just courage?

(This also leads me to still wonder if I didn't understand this film)

I am still not satisfied with the details in the film, including the focus of the film, the logical links and the transitions are not perfect. The ending turns to the little girl who eventually becomes the owner of a modern bookstore who loves to read also makes me dizzy...not impossible, but the whole show has very little foreshadowing of the little girl's psychological activities, only at the end Only when burning old houses can you feel a little "inheritance of courage"

os: Actually, I don’t know much about feminism and other issues from the film. I am more willing to call the power of the heroine a gentle and tenacious power, rather than a symbol of gender.

    Mrs. Gammat is a woman politician who is good at wearing heavy makeup and flamboyant clothes, but has no good intentions in her heart The widow recalled by her husband is in contrast to the heroine who is not good at dressing plainly, but has a gentle heart. The afro girl Kristin is so cute, the last sentence of the film "In the bookstore, no one is alone" T^T tears~

    It's important to know what you want and always have the courage to start over. The firmness of the former may inevitably lead to the latter. Life is a desperate pursuit of a dream. Continue while setbacks, encounter fellow travelers, and always keep your spirits up. If I don't do my best to protect what I want, I'll become someone else's tool or decoration. Do not. Never forget the center of your life. ps: The scenery in the movie is so beautiful.
