or black for happiness

I have been planning to write a film review, and today I finally dig a hole for myself. I didn't choose this movie deliberately at the beginning, but inadvertently dug it out from Baidu Cloud on the eve of going home, thinking it was a story that could be seen at a glance, but was moved to tears by the plot.
At first, I kept thinking that Vada should go to the doctor often to get the attention of adults, and then Thomas' simple and calm words: You know that saying, "if you can't beat them, join them" ?Poke me all of a sudden, little Thomas seems to be stupid, but in fact, he is the one who knows Vada best. Turning her head and researching again, Vada asked her father whether the smaller coffin was for children. When she went to see the doctor, her eyes were attracted by the little boy in the wheelchair. She was really afraid of death. I remember that when I was a child, I was afraid of death. I don’t know how many years ago, the thing I always do before going to bed is to pray that the people I know or care about will not die the next day. If I don’t remember to do it, I will make it up the next day. , I think, we are all afraid of death, but in different ways.
I like the style of the movie very much. There are deep emotions under the comedy screen, and some scenes will not be too perfect, and some elements that do not match in the screen will make people's mind jump, reminiscent, and more like life. For example, they suddenly formed an alliance with blood, but there was a dead fish next to it...
Suddenly I remembered my childhood, and we played together since birth. Unfortunately, the separation later made our life trajectory more and more after the intersection. Far away, after meeting, you can only feel deeper and deeper differences. When talking about the present, there is no common language, and when you talk about the past, you don’t remember. The memory of me when I was young is always clear, just like Vada growing up, watching Thomas who found it funny in the past and wanted a water gun for himself gradually drifted away. But remember, it's better than not remembering.
As to why that mood ring turned blue, it was because when Thomas said it was always black, Vada said: "Only when you are around."

-Would you think of me?
-For what?
-If you don't marry Mr.Bixler.
-I guess.

    2013.9.25 A very touching mental journey of an early adolescent girl. The little girl's behavior in the film is simply a case collection of psychological defense~

My Girl quotes

  • Shelly: She won't come out. It's been a whole day. You have to do something, Harry.

    Harry: The funeral's starting.

    Shelly: Open your eyes, she's eleven years old! Her only friend in the world is dead.

    Harry: I know that, but what do you want from me?

    Shelly: Stop hiding, Harry! You run, Harry. When I first came here, the idea of working with dead people didn't exactly thrill me. When I saw a family that lived here, I thought, if I'm living without a family, at least I can work with one and maybe, once in a while, be invited in for supper.

    Harry: Yeah... and when those suppers are disrupted because there's a car crash, or there's a fire, or a little boy steps on a beehive...

    Shelly: I'm not asking you to stop caring for those people. But life isn't just death, Harry. Don't ignore the living, especially your daughter.

  • Vada: Weeping willow with your tears running down, why do you always weep and frown? Is it because he left you one day? is it because he could not stay? On your branches he would swing, do you long for the happiness that day would bring? He found shelter in your shade. You thought his laughter would never fade. Weeping willow, stop your tears. There is something to calm you fears. You think death has ripped you forever apart. But I know he'll always be in your heart.
