Trust, Childish or Hope

This is a movie with the theme of "trust" that makes adults feel a little childish.

Shenlong Xisu described how she felt when she held up the crystals her brothers and sisters gave her, but there was actually a power of faith in it: "When they trusted me, it gave me power beyond anything I could imagine. : it empowered me beyond anything I could imagine.”

Although Xisu has a very naive side in the face of many human issues, she has no hesitation that she can gain trust by giving gifts, and persistently believes that as long as she is sincere, trust will not be thrown away, but she feels this kind of The power to be trusted is the most real and direct once trusted.

This reminds me of my new landlord. When I first contacted her, her voice made me think she was only in her 30s. She came up to ask my zodiac sign and blood type. After a few chats, she mentioned that she has a son. I thought she might not have a son, maybe in his early 40s. On the day of the house inspection, her thoughtfulness and thoughtfulness made me suddenly shatter my armor and talk about my emotional state. She suddenly said, you deserve better, and immediately took out the lease to sign with me. At that moment, I had a feeling of being affirmed and trusted, and I suddenly felt that this was where I was. It wasn't until a recent chat that I knew that she was actually 53, but she gave people a very young feeling from the outside to the inside. Do your best to make other people's lives comfortable.

I believe that her youthfulness has a lot to do with her generous trust.


Back to movies.

From the beginning of the film, the animation narrative is very vivid. In the form of paper-cuts, the events that happened 500 years ago are introduced, and until now, the heroine Lana appears. From animation to sound effects, people quickly enter the plot.

The first episode that moved me was a time jump.

In a flash of the camera, Raya grew up, and even the watermelon bug that stumbled over her feet before turned into a majestic mount. She wears a mask and travels alone in the sand of the desert, eating only dried honey pomelo, holding a Dragon's Back Sword in her hand, and is a loner. Although the film has only just started, I suddenly felt a little sad. Six years were diluted in the subtitles. This child grew up alone, searching for the dragon one by one, and what has he experienced.

6 years later, I made up my mind about the sad process of a girl learning to survive and live alone and still searching for a vague answer. She questioned the correctness of her actions countless times, but because she had no choice but to continue, the middle How many times should I be too tired to give up the struggle, but the plot here quickly summons the dragon we have been looking for.

I took a breath and choked in my throat.


It's weird that I project a sense of identity on one of the villains in the film.

Although I knew it was a women's film before I saw it, it wasn't until I saw Namari proposing to her mother, who is a chief, that our territory really needed to be expanded, and the mother realized that she was right and was willing to give her military power It was only when I really felt the power of women that I had been immersed in this ups and downs world for a long time, and emotions or slogans made people feel empty, but the real power in their hands made people feel There is power.

At that moment, I really realized that this is really a women's film, and it's not just that no prince comes out to kiss the princess and save the world, it's empowering women, so that women have fundamental power.

Similarly, when Namali was fighting with Lana and knocked her to the ground, Shenlong Xisu suddenly jumped out of a thick fog to disperse everyone and save Lana, Namali's eyes filled with tears.

At that moment, I even had a little blood on my head, which made me unknowingly tear down my cheeks.

It is the kind of indescribable prayer that you have been chasing and loving since you were a child, but are out of reach or even completely disappeared in your life, suddenly appear in front of you, like a dream, dare not breathe, afraid that it will be blown away in one breath , I am afraid that I will wake up in a blink of an eye dream. Grateful, incredible, and a little careful.

Inexplicably produced a little sadness and distress.

And in the end, although I was betrayed, as the trusted party, Namali saved everyone, and I got a kind of emotional redemption all at once. Just as "Expand Talk" commented on "Hello, Li Huanying", the audience is not looking for an answer from genre films, but more for an emotional projection and release. They have seen that Jia Ling can have the opportunity to make up for her dedication to her mother. She cried and felt distressed in the movie theater as if she had made up for her mother. However, the fact remains the same, and everyone will not do anything to change it, which can be regarded as a kind of irony and cruelty of reality.

In fact, at the end of the film, I liked the film the most, and it finally made me feel reconciled to human nature. It is that Namali can still be trusted by everyone after betraying everyone, and took over the entrustment of everyone, without praying or relying on the dragon. To rescue everyone, but to use human emotions, bear expectations and pressures, and ultimately overcome difficulties on behalf of everyone.

Perhaps, Namali's role is closer to the real life. She does not have a wealthy family (although she is also a princess), and she can't eat rice for a long time after she was born in a bad environment. In the end, it is still worthy of everyone's trust, and it has saved everyone by taking up this responsibility. So I can have more emotional projection on her.


Perhaps, the pure fairy tale is very thin, but the feeling of being redeemed at the moment of reading it still makes people believe that trust is worth existing between you and me.

Living is hard. Growing up, we increasingly realized the cruelty of life. In the predicament of being a person, I found that there is still such a space in my heart that I can put my trust in. This is thanks to my trust. Seeing the world through the eyes of trust, heaven and earth are purer. The world would be a better place if everyone saw everything in a trusting light.

——And still younger, there are examples.
