The time of childhood slowly passed, some people left and grew up, and some people stayed there.
Those little gangsters are actually just like these kids. They are not terribly sinful, they all have their own dark side and flaws. They are also playing childish and dangerous games, but they are different from Gordon and the others. They are like other selves in a world of equality, lost in their childhood years, and still struggling to find.
In pursuit of that sense of identity, in pursuit of that legendary heroism.
The corpse is indeed a metaphor, as well as a node where Chris and Gordon have found their salvation together.
The conversation between Gordon and Christ by the campfire also made Gordon become an elder for the first time, and since then he has the ability to discover the deer (beautiful things, ideals, self) and courage (a leech).
Say goodbye to the shadows of childhood (face the punks).
The story of the fat boy's revenge told by Gordon made me feel that at some point we were all that fat boy, and that there was nothing wrong with ourselves, but the world kept making fun of us, and we were also faced with a double choice. This kind of ending, whether to take revenge to the fullest, and wish to kill all those who mocked and ridiculed us.
Teddy and Vern chose two paths with different directions but the same essence. Teddy didn't like the fat boy's ending. He was still carrying the pain of himself, while Vern was immersed in the trivial life of 1penny and couldn't extricate himself.
Gordie seems to be weak, but in this journey, but through the help he gave, he slowly found himself, and when he returned to the town, everything was incomparable, everything seemed small, the eyes of the town people, the father's Vision is less important, and that sense of identity is not needed, because he has found a new heroism.
As Romain Rolland said: There is only one true heroism in this world, that is to recognize the truth of life and still love him.
Gordie finds the truth about himself, that he is not worthless, he never needs the approval of the small group to be a hero, and that phone call is enough to prove everything even if it is anonymous.
The adult gordie wrote in front of the computer many years later, recalling the past. The childhood gordie looked back on the unbearable past, just like the corpse they were looking for together, which witnessed their growth.
When I saw the gordie code, I also wanted to write something casually. Please encourage me to write a movie review for the first time. I am not the kind of person who is very strict. One, typing is pretty fast anyway.
