Recently, I finished watching the movie "Miracle Boy" at home and was very moved. The film mainly tells the story of a boy with a defective face, Auggie, after entering a normal school, in the face of ridicule and exclusion from his classmates, he uses kindness and ability to turn the situation around and win his own recognition.
The film was released in the United States in 2017 and was given a high score of 8.6 by Douban. In my opinion, this is not only a touching inspirational film, but also a point that director Stephen Zhuoboski wants to convey to the public: every soul in this world deserves to be loved.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="32" > Boy Auggie: Disabled body, but with a strong heart</h1>
If God has closed a door for you, then there must be a window for you.
Auggie was born into a loving and wealthy family, with loving parents and a good sister and a dog, but because of his genetic defects, he was born ugly. Fortunately, however, he was a little genius in his studies, especially in science.
In Miracle Boy, actor Jacob Trebray uses his superb acting skills to show us the inferiority and helplessness of a disabled boy Auggie entering school. He came to school every day holding his parents' hands and wearing a helmet so that no one else would see his flawed face; he walked alone through the classroom corridors of the school every day, imagining himself as a person in a space suit to isolate himself from the other children; he heard his good friends' comments on him with a mocking tone, and ran out with a fist in his hands. Everything shows the sensitive and inferior heart of one's own child at a glance.
In fact, it is not only people with defective faces who will be inferior, every child will encounter different degrees of inferiority in the process of growing up, such as some people will be inferior because of poor learning, some people will be inferior because of introverted personality and no friends, and even in "Miracle Boy", the sister Via is also inferior because of having a disabled brother.
In the book "Inferiority and Transcendence", it is written that each of us has different degrees of inferiority, because we all want to make ourselves better and make ourselves live a better life. Sometimes your inferiority complex is also a reminder that you need to improve or become your motivation to move forward. For example, the world-famous writer Helen Keller became a famous educator because she was disabled from an early age and aspired to help more disabled patients.
In "Miracle Boy", although Auggie has a disability, but his heart is open, he is willing to take the initiative to help his friends learn scientific knowledge, take the initiative to participate in the scientific knowledge competition, although he will be inferior for his face, but he is more looking forward to winning friendship, winning recognition and winning respect through his own efforts.
Sometimes, your flaws are simply because God loves you too much and deliberately allows you to go through more tribulations and enjoy a richer and more different life.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="37" > sister Via: Children who grow up in love know how to love others</h1>
The role of Via, I am still very distressed. Because the younger brother was born defective, so the parents put a lot of attention and love on the younger brother, resulting in the sister being snubbed to a certain extent. However, in the movie, we see that no matter what situation the sister encounters, she can adjust her mood in time and talk to her brother with a gentle attitude. Such a sensible child cannot help but be distressed.
There is a scene in the movie that reads:
Via had a hard time being alone with her mother on Christmas Day, and the mother and daughter were planning to be at home for pistachio Christmas, but because her brother Auggie was ridiculed at school and had a serious physical reaction, her mother had to rush to school to pick up her brother. The sister who was left out in the cold was extremely disappointed, but she went into her brother's room after her brother arrived home, gently calmed his brother's emotions and enlightened him.
Such a gentle and sensible sister never resented her brother's arrival and took away the only favor that should have belonged to her, but instead guarded her brother with her parents and father.
The sister has a good girlfriend Miranda, because she is jealous of her sister's family and chooses to stay away from her sister, so she began to try to contact drama, join club activities, and met a good boy and began her love.
It has to be said that the education of parents has a very important impact on children. It is precisely because the mother adopts a trusting attitude in the face of the child's love affair that the daughter feels that the trust and love of the family has always been there. In the matter of falling in love, foreign parents have always been more democratic and open than Chinese parents. They believe that their children need to learn how to deal with intimacy through intersex interactions, and that it is easier for us to learn about our true selves in intimate relationships. We see in the movies that both Via's girlfriend and Via's boyfriend are always accepted by their parents and brothers in their home, because it is a loving family in itself.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="40" > parents are the best teachers for their children</h1>
Whether it is Auggie's bravery or the kindness of her sister Via, it is inseparable from the education of this loving couple.
In the movie, we see this scene:
Auggie, who was ridiculed at school for going to school, went home and angrily fired at his parents at the dinner table, then angrily left and ran back to his room. At this time, the mother knocked on the door and went into her son's room to tell him that it was impolite to leave the table, and then began to gently soothe Auggie's wounded heart.
The mother knows the child's pain, but will also tell him what is wrong. She firmly told Auggie that her human resources were not ugly. This is my son's face and I love it.
There is nothing more gentle and firm than saying "I love you" from the mouth of a mother. Family psychologists point out that everyone is very eager to have an intimate relationship with their parents, and their hearts are eager for their parents' understanding, and they are also eager for their parents to accept and praise themselves. It is precisely because the mother has always adopted a gentle and determined method of education that she can have such a wise son and a kind and sensible daughter.
In Miracle Boy, we see that couples always treat their children with respect and equality at the core. They do not tell the child what to do and what not to do in a commanding tone, but to make the child understand right and wrong; they respect the child's choices and trust the child's decision-making; they know how to give the child space and will soothe the child's wounded heart. More importantly, they love each other deeply.
The love between parents is also the most important template for children to learn intimate relationships and get along with others.
In the movie "Miracle Boy", we see a loving couple educating and infiltrating their children with their own love, making our audience realize that it is not just children, but in the world, every soul is worthy of love.
