Every growth is an emotional collapse

I don't want to admit it, but after watching the entire movie, I hugged my mom tightly and cried a lot. This film perfectly fulfilled all my fantasies about how the human brain works. Not from a physical, chemical or biological standpoint, but from the heart. Maybe from the bottom of my heart, I have always been a child who has not grown up; but I have to admit that I have grown up. I no longer lose my temper because the last piece of candy was eaten by others, and I no longer get angry because my parents couldn’t accompany me to the promised exhibition because of something temporarily, and I also learned to use a fake smile to hide my true thoughts. But I am very fortunate that such a group of cute little people still live in my head. They breathe with me every day, they wake up when I wake up, they are still on duty when I fall asleep; everything they do is for me, for my future, for my growth; the thought of them is in my head The scene of laughing and laughing, I feel that I have the whole world, which is very warm. However, what is the real growth? I have thought about this issue for a long, long time. Or it can be said that I am truly experiencing with my own life and want to find the answer; and I know clearly that there will be no answer to this question, because this second and the next second of myself, It has been different to some extent; and this passing of seconds, maybe there is no end?

It is as if one cannot step into the same river twice. But what is undisputed is that growth at a particular stage can be fully manifested. Of course, no one can become completely different from the previous one overnight, and certain processes and conditions will be required, such as inevitable age growth, such as acquired knowledge and broadened horizons, such as growing environment and background. Disturbing like a twelve-year-old Riley. In my opinion, her growth at this stage is that her emotions are no longer rigid and simple, but more mixed and more complex. Just like the world of only children is black and white, and only then can it be clearly stated who is the bad guy or who is the good guy. She has grown up. She grew up after experiencing an emotional meltdown. In fact, at the moment when her "naughty island" collapsed, I was very painful and reluctant to give up; but at the same time, I also clearly realized that the so-called growth must be paid for. Of course, these don't have to be the childlike innocence that I have cherished and fortunately preserved since I was a child. Fortunately, in the world after growing up, those lost emotions come back and add more things that you love or are beneficial to yourself. Although the process of losing them is very long, and the process of finding and building them again is more difficult and dangerous, isn't that what growing up is like? Treat your past events with richer emotions and recall from more perspectives, Isn't it a better thing? What's more touching is that growing up is accompanied by parents; when all emotions are collapsed, they will be the strongest backing; every minute and second of life, their eyes follow. "May all the careless pursuits look warmer than the spring sunshine."

I saw a sentence on the Internet, and I was deeply moved. Let's end it here: "The so-called growth is actually a price to pay."

    North American premiere (SIFF). It is completely daily material, many meta-cinematic introspective metaphors, Pixar's ingenuity has broken through itself, surprises and ingenuity are everywhere. The most important point: Emotions really matter and memory defines one's identity. Of course, the director himself is Gao Shuaiqian, very interesting. . .

    Old people just can't watch this kind of animation, it's easy to see tears running. Speaking plainly and profoundly, do you remember the cost of growth? The part of "Ping Pong" struggling to fly up the homemade rocket is like many "memories" that you don't want to be forgotten, but after all, they are still forgotten.
