Reflections on the movie "The Thief of Time"

I suddenly lost sleep last night, so I found a movie at random and directly clicked on the name that looked like a thriller. Only to find a long-lost touch, just like a part of my life was burned and backed up.

The theme of this film is to describe the living conditions of Luo Jia, an ordinary person in Hong Kong, a very ordinary life and a very common life. Luo Jia came to Hong Kong from his grandparents' lifetime to escape the war in mainland China, and found a home in this deserted alley. Luo Jia's two sons, the eldest one lives by cutting hair in the alley, and the second one lives by making leather shoes in the alley. Luo Jia's grandmother proudly said: we are all from head to toe, how can we still live? But the cruelty of reality bent the waist of the two brothers early, and the ruthless years made their hair white. Although the wife of the second child is eloquent and calculating, they still have a hard life in the face of the suppression of the British Hong Kong government and the economic downturn, and all their income can only support their families in that chaotic era.

The second family has two sons, brother Luo Jinyi 16 years old. He has excellent academic performance and strong body, and often wins prizes in various school sports meetings and knowledge contests. He won countless gold medals, which is not only the pride of the Luo family, but also the pride of the whole alley. He often tells his younger brother that only winning first in life counts for nothing else, so as to motivate his younger brother. Like all adolescent boys, my brother likes a female classmate in his class and often takes her out to play and tell her what he learned from books about fish farming. Until one day they made an appointment to play together, but his girlfriend caught a cold. For the first time, he decided to take his favorite goldfish to her house to see her. He searched for a long time before he found the girl in a luxurious villa on the mountain, but he was shocked by the luxury and wealth of their home. He never thought that his girlfriend's family was so rich that she knew more about fish farming than he did, but in order to be with him, he deliberately pretended not to understand and listened to him. He suddenly felt that he and his girlfriend were completely different worlds. He bid farewell to his girlfriend and went home in a gloomy mood. He refused her farewell and resolutely walked out of the house without looking back at his tearful girlfriend. From then on, he stopped contacting his girlfriend until her family immigrated. But in my heart, I can't give up my concern for my girlfriend. My academic performance gradually declined. I failed in two subjects in the final exam and failed in the knowledge contest. In fact, the best hurdle is only ranked third. The summer storm came, and my brother was too tired to save his crumbling house. The hospital diagnosed leukemia. In order to treat diseases, they have also been to Beijing, the mainland, and the effect is still not satisfactory. After returning to Hong Kong from Beijing, the boss was weak and admitted to the hospital. In order to save his son's life through blood transfusion, the father pawned all valuable things in the family, including his wedding ring, but in the end he failed to snatch his son's life from death. So my father was widowed and depressed, blamed himself for getting sick, and died in a few years.

My younger brother Luo Jiner is only 7 years old. He is as naughty and playful as the younger brothers of countless families. He got the lowest grade, deceiving his superiors and deceiving his subordinates, and stealing three things. He was often punished by his teachers at school and scolded by his parents at home but never repented. My brother stole a fish tank from the goldfish tank and went home, only to find that everything in front of him was out of shape. He enjoys himself in this world that only he knows. When I got home, my busy father asked him what he had learned at school while working. My brother said he had learned Chinese and English. When my father further inquired about China literature and English without looking up, my brother replied: China literature is from China, and English is English. Father nodded with satisfaction and continued to do his own thing. This scene has three times. The second time, my brother's answer was: China literature is English, and English is Chinese. Father didn't notice the mistake, but nodded with satisfaction and continued to do his own thing. The third time, my brother was found stealing by his emotional father after he was hospitalized, and he sat in his father's arms. His father asked him while giving him medicine. The younger brother replied, "China people teach Haw to answer Haw, and Mulan is a maid." . English teaches a person, a pot. From these three same questions, we can see that my brother is a process from concealment to deception to progress. The dark line has destroyed a hope of parents (younger brother) and added a new hope (younger brother), just like the mother's mantra: be a man, always believe. At the end of the film, two rainbows with opposite colors appeared in the sky, which my brother once told my brother. It also implies that no matter how hard life is, there is still hope and a turning point. Time can steal our health and life, but it can't steal our love for life and pursuit of happiness.

The father and son, mother and son, brotherhood and marital love in the film are all real and delicate, just like what we usually feel ourselves. Needless to say, Wu Junru, the comedy queen, plays Yam Tat-wah's father in her tragic drama. The mother she plays is too much like my childhood mother, crisp and tender. It seems that Rainbow Leehom's brother's performance is a bit stiff, but his brother is too quaint. However, despite its flaws, this film is still a masterpiece of life movies. There is also an English song "I long for freedom" in the movie, which is very nice, and the faint sadness and sadness in the tune particularly highlights the theme atmosphere of the movie.

This movie also reminds me of my childhood living environment, except that they live in the city and I live in the countryside of Henan. At that time, my grandfather was still alive, my father and uncle were not separated, and we lived together in a quadrangle in the countryside. It's just that my uncle's eldest son is two months older than me. We went to school and played together since childhood. We never do our homework after school. We often do some bad things, such as stealing tomatoes in vegetable fields and melons in corn fields. Being beaten at home can't change yourself. Many times, my brother took full responsibility to prevent me from being beaten. I often reported my brother or shirked my responsibility in order not to be beaten. I still feel guilty when I think about it. Since my brother died unexpectedly at the age of 16, I can no longer make up for this regret. Just like my brother's love for my brother in the movie, my brother's love for me has always moved me for life. I found my childhood figure from my younger brother Luo Jinji. I found that my brother not only looks like me when I was a child, but also does things like me when I was a child. It's like repeating some of my childhood life, and a kind of familiarity and warmth arises spontaneously. At that time, although there was no fish tank to cover my head, I liked to comfort myself with reading and was addicted to my own world. From my brother Luo Jinyi, I also saw a little bit of myself as a teenager: aloof personality and stubborn back.

Just like the movie scene, although our family was struggling at that time, we were happy, talking and laughing, crying and crying. However, times have changed, and I want to relive my childhood dream only through movies. I began to miss my brother 16 who also died young, and I missed the joys and sorrows of my childhood. Suddenly, I was filled with emotion, a long-lost feeling came to my mind, and tears blurred my sight.

I miss my elderly parents and young daughter in my hometown very much. Although we live far apart, I hope the miserable life will not continue.
