Weekend Say Movie: Weakness

People always have weaknesses, or blind spots, and only by transcending their own weaknesses or blind spots will they grow better.

There is an American movie, the good sister watched 3 times in one breath, felt particularly moved, and wanted to recommend it to everyone. The film was translated into Chinese named Weakness and was based on michael. An adaptation of Lewis's novel Weakness: The Game Process, it tells the story of a white family who adopts a homeless black child and, with love and trust, eventually raises him into a famous American football star.

Poor black boy named Michael. Oh, who grew up in a poor black neighborhood. Although his birth mother lived a bad life and didn't even know who Michael's biological father was, she protected her children in every way she could: whenever something bad happened, she always taught Little Michael to "close your eyes and open your eyes when the bad things have passed, and the world will still be the same world." Because of this, Michael, who grew up in a harsh environment, did not go with the flow, like other black boys, wandered the streets and became a street gangster, but always maintained a kind heart. Before meeting the Sean family, although he had a terrible life and no place to live, the only possession was the plastic bag containing the worn-out large jersey. But he didn't resent or understand violent confrontation. It is because of this that he will silently help clean up the garbage cartons that were discarded on the court at the end of the game.

His kindness made him good luck. The kind-hearted Shawn family noticed him and, on a cold, rainy winter night, met Michael in a short-sleeved jersey, walking on his shoulders in the cold, and not knowing where to spend the night, and did not hesitate to take him home. The first time they came home with a black boy, to be honest, the Seans were also nervous. So early the next morning, Mrs. Sean told her husband before going downstairs that if she heard her shouting, she would call the police. But unexpectedly, Michael not only did not move anything in the house, but also very well-behaved early, folded the quilt, neatly placed on the sofa, and quietly left the house long ago. Touched, Mrs. Sean rushed out, stopped Michael, who did not know where to go, and asked him to go home for Thanksgiving. While everyone was sitting in front of the TV eating, Mrs. Sean noticed that Michael was sitting at the table alone and eating, and immediately turned off the TV and invited the family to sit at the table together, pray, and eat together. From this day on, Michael began to slowly integrate into the Sean family.

What was touching was the sean family's attitude towards Michael. First of all, Mrs. Sean did not feel embarrassed in the face of the rich wives' questioning and ridicule, but proudly told them that Michael was also her son. Ever since Michael entered her house, she had not disliked the black boy in the slightest, but had treated him sincerely and regarded him as her own family. When she heard Michael say that his mother never read to him and tell stories, she did not hesitate to let him and her younger son read and tell stories together, making up for Michael's spiritual shortcomings with love. There is also little Sean, so lively and cheerful, who does not hide his appreciation for Michael, and takes the initiative to help Michael develop a training plan and teach Michael to learn to play. And this beautiful daughter, when her parents brought Michael home, there was no slightest dislike, and when everyone ate and prayed for the first time, this beautiful white girl naturally put her hand to Michael... It is the kindness and respect of this family that allows Michael to gradually break through himself and become successful.

In the film, Mr. Sean once described his wife: she is like an onion, you have to peel it off layer by layer to understand her true heart. Coincidentally, Mrs. Sean also described Michael in this way. She once told her friends that it was Michael who changed her and made her better!

In fact, both for Michael and the Sean family, they have grown in each other's relationship and eventually met a better one.

The good sister admires the independent, confident, kind, and capable Mrs. Sean in the film. She can always rationally analyze where the crux of the problem is, and then give direct and effective advice. She knows how to respect everyone around her. Even when disagreeing with her husband, she will euphemistically work on her husband's thinking and reach an agreement, rather than simply and rudely imposing it on others. She dared to love and hate, and bravely fought back when black boys bullied Michael. She knows how to fully analyze the truth of the matter, when Michael drove little Sean out, unfortunately encountered a car accident, the first time to the scene, not only did not reprimand Michael, but comforted Michael that it was an accident. It is precisely because of such a mother that little Sean and his sister can grow up so well! Shouldn't such a woman be a role model for her sisters?

Each of us, influenced by the environment and growth experience, will have weaknesses or blind spots at the level of insight. If we can't see these weaknesses or blind spots, we will bind ourselves. Therefore, when you have the opportunity, you must read more books and learn more, how long you have insight, only by constantly breaking through your weaknesses or blind spots, you will meet a better self!
