Just 20 seconds of courage

Live in a dying zoo, be with tigers and lions, watch little peacocks break out of their shells, and track brown bears that escape their cages. When we complain about the boring life day after day, some people choose to buy a zoo, yes, a zoo with tigers, lions, monkeys, brown bears.
At home on the weekend, I read "My House Bought a Zoo" and read it again, but I was still completely cured. Matt Damon's father Benjamin is addicted to the loss of his wife, and his two children are also in constant condition because of the death of their mother. In order to change the environment, they move into a zoo. Renovated the zoo, passed harsh inspections, and reopened the business. He almost lost everything. Relying on the transition fund left by his wife for him, the zoo finally reopened.
Frankly speaking, this is a movie without suspense, we know that the conflicted father and son will understand each other, know that dad Matt Damon will come together with caretaker Scarlett Johansson, and know that the zoo will definitely pass inspection, re-opening. Open, but still willing to be captured by such a story, just because it is delicate and soft, and warms people's hearts.
At the end of the film, Benjamin took the children to the small shop where he and his wife met-he was afraid to approach because of his longing, and demonstrated to the children what it was like to fall in love with his wife at first sight, "That's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. Beautiful girl! I said to myself, it only takes 20 seconds of courage." With so many
dreams, not everyone needs to buy a zoo to prove it. However, in many moments, 20 seconds of courage is enough to make a dream come true. Just like the zoo that Benjamin bought, like the eldest son's confession to the girl he loves in the rain. In front of our dreams, sometimes all we need is a short 20 seconds, and a sentence of encouragement: "Why not?"
Regarding actors, Matt Damon's bloated body is not to match the role. The mid-life crisis; many people complained that the biggest flaw is that the goddess Scarlett Johansson in overalls and jeans is too tightly wrapped; but the biggest cute point in the film is Benjamin's little daughter, God, the one who laughed A cute little thing like Wang Zulan makes people want to rush into the screen and hug her little cheek and kiss her fiercely.

    Too greedy to want to get close to the original, I have said everything, and I haven't explained it clearly, but it is better than the concept, and I have been waiting for it for a long time.

We Bought a Zoo quotes

  • Benjamin Mee: What happened with you and Lily?

    Dylan Mee: I don't know. I guess I didn't listen to something she told me or something? I mean, I liked her. It's like you embarrass yourself if you say something, and you embarrass yourself if you don't.

    [Benjamin chuckles. Dylan smiles as well]

    Benjamin Mee: I like it when you talk. You know, sometimes all you need is 20 seconds of insane courage. Just, literally, 20 seconds of just embarrassing bravery. And I promise you, something great will come of it.

    [Dylan looks thoughtful, but doesn't say anything for a while]

    Dylan Mee: I never know what to say to you.

    Benjamin Mee: I'm the same way. Why don't we just tell each other what we wish the other guy would say?

    Dylan Mee: "I'm sorry I brought you out to the sticks."

    Benjamin Mee: "You're a great dad."

    [both Dylan and Benjamin laugh]

  • [Dylan sees letters that spells "If you love me, let me know" on the store window, and decides to run towards Lily's cabin]

    Dylan Mee: 20 seconds of courage. 20 seconds of courage. Okay. Okay.

    [knocks on Lily's window. She squeals a disturbed noise, turns around and sees him. She walks to the window and opens it]

    Lily Miska: Hi.

    Dylan Mee: Hi. Look, am I nuts to say that I missed you like crazy a lot? A lot!

    [Lily shakes her head]

    Dylan Mee: I was... I wasn't named after Bob Dylan. I was named after a dog named Dylan.

    Lily Miska: [laughs] I don't really care. Who cares. Sorry about the rain.

    Dylan Mee: No, I love it. I love your hair, I love your sign, Lily, I love you.

    [Lily stops laughing the moment he says the word "you". They look at each other for a while, then smile before they move in for a hug through the window opening]
