Shadow | the extraordinary summer days of me and Tess

Abstract: A beautiful summer movie.

Because I watched a lot of tight plot movies for several days in a row, I wanted to find a more relaxed one, so I chose this "Extraordinary Summer with Tess" on the b station. This is a Dutch, German film, the pace of the film is very slow, because it is related to the summer vacation, so the tone of the whole movie is very happy.

But what this movie wants to tell is not so joyful, it is about loneliness, death and love. A boy named Sam, because he was the youngest child in the family, thought from an early age how he would adapt to loneliness if his family died, so he made a lonely training plan for himself, and as time went on, the time alone would become more. During this time, he met a girl named Tess, who lived in a fatherless family, but Sam's family was actually relatively harmonious. The two children experienced a lot in the weeks of the holidays. Sam made many changes when he heard an old man say not to be afraid of loneliness, but to cherish the present so that he could remember every moment in the future. He took the initiative to find Tess's father, a guest who thought he had won the prize, and he also gave up the lonely training program to cherish every time he lived with his family and Tess.

Although their encounter was very short, their pure feelings touched me very much, and I watched them play by the beach every day, walking on the beach, swimming in the sea, eating fried fish, so that I wanted to go to the beach for a long vacation.

In fact, what I still want to talk about is not to be afraid of death, death is a process that everyone has to go through, we can't go through him because of fear, because we avoid it, don't we? Loneliness is certain, we need to learn to be alone with ourselves, to reconcile with ourselves, only in this way will our future not be disturbed by some other thing. In fact, I prefer to be alone, and when a person is in school, he often goes to study and eat alone. Sometimes my friends will ask me, when you are in school, you will not feel very lonely and bored when you walk back and forth on your own, in fact, I will not, I feel that listening to songs to do whatever I want to do, to go to any place you want is a different kind of freedom.

It's a kind of superficial loneliness, and in the future, with family and friends leaving, it may be to a big city, and that loneliness may be more difficult than when I was in school. So conscious exercise when you're young, or before you're mature, this ability to fight loneliness is great. I admire Sam for knowing loneliness at such a young age, and he will definitely have a higher ability to withstand pressure than ordinary people in the future.
