Aftermath: Wonder (Wonder Boy)

Today I watched this Douban rated 8.6 movie Wonder, the Chinese translation is Miracle Boy. The story revolves around a little boy named Auggie, who suffered from a rare form of Trichel-Collins syndrome, which caused his face to be deformed at birth. Having been in and out of the hospital for 27 surgeries, Auggie has been taught at home by his mother. With Auggie already in fifth grade, his parents decided to enroll Auggie in a mainstream private school so he could advance to secondary school. Auggie The face is how to communicate with people outside the family, he always wears a huge space helmet that hides his face scarred by surgery, avoids intimidating other children, and also hides Auggie sensitive A humble heart.

For those children with serious congenital defects, on the one hand I really admire their parents for their efforts to take care of them, on the other hand I always doubt whether it is the right thing to bring them into this world. I remember a few days ago Someone in a Reddit community said that a lot of people say they want a kid, but they don't want a kid who's going to get in trouble at 13, or a jobless kid at 26. And the reality is , your child may not be able to meet your expectations in many ways in the future and you have to accept it. This is true for an ordinary child, let alone a child with congenital defects that needs extra care both physically and psychologically. Of course, this film does not focus on Putting on how much sacrifice the mother played by Julia Roberts has made, this is a bit cliché, but I just couldn't help but once again aroused my thoughts in this area, get fully prepared to be a parent?

There are actually two lines in the story, one is the little boy Auggie, and the other is his sister Via. I always feel that it is really difficult to balance parents with more than two children, there will always be one that gets more attention and Love and others will be more or less ignored. Due to Auggie's own flaws, his parents have to devote all their hearts and minds to him, while sister Via has to play the role of an understanding girl, even if she is sensible, she will inevitably be lost. But on the other hand, brothers and sisters can really give me a lot of company and support. The most touching thing in the film is that when the two brothers and sisters feel let down by their friendship, they go out for a trick or treat in Halloween together, and the family dog Daisy passed away. Siblings sit together and comfort each other. (Ah, so sometimes I still regret that I am an only child, and I want to have a brother or sister. Well, I don’t want to take care of my younger siblings)

Everything has two sides, this is a sentence of the principal in the film, and it is also a point I like very much, that is, when the film tells about the friendship lines of the two brothers and sisters, they also tell the reasons for this friendship from the perspective of their friends. Problems (I like the line of Auggie and Jack very much and think this pair of bamboo horses is very loving haha). Many times there is a problem in a relationship, and the two sides may tell different stories, and it is difficult to say who is right and who is wrong. In the movie Of course, Auggie and Jack, Via and Miranda all have happy endings. In reality, we may have all experienced a sudden estrangement from our best friends, and we can't mend it again. This is life.

Think of a sentence, Is life always this hard or is it just when you're a kid? Always like this. Everyone may have some problems or flaws that can't be solved, no matter how hard you work it out, but in life There are always some parts that are worth looking forward to and can work hard. People who believe in God will agree with a saying that all your fortunes are arranged by the Lord and such an arrangement must have its meaning. Just as Auggie has serious congenital defects, but he Very smart and very good at science. The past year has been too painful and there is no end in sight. Except for the epidemic, listening to current affairs or the economy every day gives many people a gloomy feeling. But such a healing film that makes me cry can push me to write something, I recommend it.
