Courage and virtue mean everything

When I was young, I traveled through East Africa and West Asia, and in the years of riding in the desert, I also fought solo, but in the end, senescence still happened unexpectedly. In the western courtyard, the annoying salesman came one after another, put the bullets on the porch, and thundered. They were always able to beat them crying and howling, running away, never daring to come to disturb them again.

This is the home of two uncles in the American countryside. The arrival of a little boy will trace the lives of these two old people.

In fact, in a sense, this movie should be a Western. It seems to be a night-time conversation between the legendary cowboy and his juniors sitting around the fireplace, telling the teenager his confusing and unwilling life of mediocrity.

If I want to keep a pet, I want to keep a lion. If I want to play a game, I will practice shooting. If there is something to challenge myself, then flying a plane is not an option. The movie "Second-hand Lion King" actually gives people a feeling of surprise. The surprise lies in how the two old people living alone look at the last time of the years and feel the last invitation of life, and the existence of children’s perspective is just to give That’s why they look back in time.

Courage and virtue mean everything.

Youth will always pass. There are so many things that can't let you go at the time. In the end, as long as you can survive it, time will finally let yourself go.

Just what I think, when his two uncles endured love and hatred in the desert, they always had the past that was hard to let go, but after decades, they all let go completely, just by the ripples of the lake. A conversation from time to time.

Yesterday’s self is dead, and today’s self has been reborn. All kinds of memories seem to be collusion in previous lives. How hard it is to gain self. It’s so hard that you must use such words to comfort yourself. Of course, this is for the two in the play. For this uncle, it is not difficult at all. They have forgotten the past, and what they cherish is only the old now.

From a certain perspective, "Second-hand Lion King" explores a topic of growth, a spiritual growth, between two mature elderly people, in this pasture and grassland, carefully savoring their ancestry. Grow in the far story.

Life is as powerless as it is.

Only if you have the idea of ​​following the wind, will you one day find a life as free as the wind, let alone live your life.

Mo Daoming sighed at the emptiness, sad and unable to paint.

    The storyline is actually very old-fashioned, but I really like this kind of humorous, warm and childhood memories of the movie, especially the two old men Michael Caine and Robert Duvall playing together~so cute~

    Very good movie, two old actors and a rising star, I like when the old man says this: I'm Hub McCann. I fought in two world wars.....killed many men and loved only one woman with a passion...That's who I am. Once upon a time, my grandfather also told me about the history of his youth when he was young, and I miss him infinitely
