I asked my son, "Baby, if you have a classmate who looks different from others like Augie, will you make friends with him and love him?"
Without thinking, the son said, "If he has no friends, I will definitely make friends with him. It doesn't matter if he has many friends. I think Auggie is really cool! " "
I think this is also the strength of the film: a kind spring, poured into the heart of a five-year-old boy who is not familiar with the world, let him know love and sympathy.
This film tells such a story:
The hero Auggie was born with defects. Before he could breathe, see and hear without hearing aid, he had 27 operations, large and small.
Despite the plastic surgery, there is still a deformed face that will scare the child to cry. So he seldom goes out, and even when he goes out, he often wears a helmet.
10 years old, his mother was teaching him knowledge. When he should be in the fifth grade, his parents finally made up their minds to let him enter the school gate.
After that, his unique appearance was ridiculed and he saw many strange eyes.
But he is brave, kind, smart and has a strong heart, and finally won the respect, love and friendship of his classmates.
The story is not complicated, and children of several years can understand it. But in the process of watching movies, I was moved to tears several times and applauded the education given by Augie's parents countless times.
I think, in the film, it is the unique education of parents that has created such a boy with many excellent qualities, and it is a warm and loving family that has created such a commendable miracle.
The mother's wholehearted love and dedication saved the child who was born with defects.
At the age of four, Auggie's sister, Sylvia, made a wish to have a younger brother.
At that time, her mother Isabel was studying for a master's degree.
After their son Augie was born, what they never expected was that the child was born with various defects. But Isabel and her husband Nate love this child very much.
Seeing this, I burst into tears.
Because the eldest son is born half a year later, his neck is always habitually tilted to the right. At that time, my heart was full of cherish and worry.
As an orthopedic surgeon, my husband told me, "No matter what kind of child God has given us, we must accept it and love it with our heart, because it is our child!"
Fortunately, my son's neck recovered completely after months of massage, three times a day for 20 minutes each time.
In the film, facing an unusual child, her mother Isabel gave up her master's degree, her beloved children's illustration work and her future, and then took care of Auggie wholeheartedly.
As a mother, I deeply understand this love, not for anything else, just because he is his own child!
This is a powerful and wise mother.
Not only did she teach Augie what she should learn at every age, but this knowledge was deeper and richer than what she learned at school.
So Augie's science class is the best in the whole school. He won the championship in a science competition.
She also taught Augie to have a strong and intelligent heart to face the world she doesn't know how to treat him in the future.
When Auggie was laughed at by his classmates for having a pigtail, his mother told him that he was depressed and angry: "Others can be rude, but you should learn to be tolerant."
When Auggie finally got his good friend Jack, Jack said behind his back, "If I look like him, I'll kill myself." Auggie was deeply hurt and went home angrily. He shut himself in his room and refused to talk to anyone.
You can imagine how desperate Auggie should be at this time and how to face the cold outside world.
He cried and asked his mother, "because I look different from others, no one wants to talk to me." Will my appearance affect a person for a lifetime? "
Isabel looked at Auggie affectionately, shook her head and said, "I don't know."
Then he went over, sat side by side with his son, shook his hand and whispered, "honey, listen carefully." Everyone has different marks on his face. When you had your first operation, the first wrinkle appeared in the corner of my eye. These wrinkles appeared on my forehead when you had the last operation. "
Then, pointing to her heart, she said, "This map shows us the way."
Pointing to her face, she said, "And this map shows where we have been. It's definitely not ugly."
What the real world looks like can only be seen clearly after you have experienced rolling. What parents can give is not what the world looks like in their eyes, but what kind of strength and attitude they should teach their children to face this unknown new world.
Isabel's answer gave Augie a positive hint and guidance: everyone's face is only the trace of the road he has traveled and the things he has experienced, and no one needs to feel inferior for it. What really guides a person's life direction is his heart, not anything external.
She also told Auggie: When you are in an annoying environment, you don't have to pay attention to it at all. Try to imagine your favorite place in your heart.
Auggie learned this method of spiritual victory, so he can walk proudly in the strange eyes of others again and again.
This wise mother gave ten-year-old Augie enough wisdom: people don't always stare at you maliciously, maybe they are just ignorant, or they are just rare and strange. You should learn to tolerate those who often stare at you.
A boy's education is inseparable from his father's manly temperament.
Father Nate opened a positive, optimistic and brave door for Auggie with his optimism, humor, gentleness and kindness.
Before he was ten years old, when Auggie was at home, Nate accompanied him to practice sword, play games, tell him stories, and often took him to the park.
The first time Nate walked into the school gate, he had to face a strange environment alone. His father told him, "The boy walking with his parents is not cool at all, especially the boy wearing a helmet!"! Son, maybe you will be lonely, but we are all here! "
A few short words have given Augie endless strength: I am a nobody, I can't rely on my parents forever, but they are always by my side when I need help!
So Augie came back from school on the first day. Although he was laughed at by his classmates, he was very strong and still wanted to go to school again. He thought school was very interesting.
He told Auggie that he had secretly put his son's precious helmet in the office, and told Auggie that the helmet had been lost and could not be found. In fact, he just wants his son to be brave and show his true colors.
When one day Auggie finally got rid of the shadow of his appearance, he squatted down and told his son, "This face, maybe you don't like it, but I love it because it is my son's face!"
When his son was bullied by some older children and had a fight with them to protect his classmates, he said happily, "Oh, son, you are so brave, you are great!" " I'm so proud of you! "
When Daisy, the puppy who had been with them for many years, died in the middle of the night, the man who always made the children laugh hid his face and cried.
This kindness in the face of weak life has given Auggie the best education about good thoughts.
On his wedding anniversary with his wife, he bought her a present and prepared a romantic candlelight dinner. At that moment, I heard the admiration of the surrounding female audience. The gentleness of this man touched everyone at that moment.
His humor makes this family full of happiness all the time; He passed on his optimism to his children, so Auggie was able to face all the unknowns and challenges bravely. Auggie was moved by his gentleness and kindness in life, and he won the friendship and respect of his classmates.
