Log #6

Last Thursday the originator,水某, of Lessonsfrommovies came to our school to give a short speech. What they,水某and his husband, do is recommending movies with a conclusion talking about their reflection and what they have learned after watching the movie. The words they give usually inspires me a lot and attract me to see the movie by myself. I follow Lessonsfrommovies’ fan page on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube. Thus, I looked forward to the speech very much. The topic she gave was about discovering myself.

The movie, The Little Prince, impressed me the most during the speech. I was not admitted to read comic books in my childhood. The first comic book I read was “The Little Prince” given by my father as a birthday gift. I was only 10 then; therefore, I didn’t receive much feeling after reading the book. I was not interested in it. “Stand up for what you believe in,” she shared the concept with us. As it said in the movie, “No grown-ups will ever understand that this is a matter of so much importance!” When I was young, I had insistence on things what I paid a lot of value on― tiny to what my Barbie girl should wear today and large to how my pencils should be set in my pencil case. However, in my mind, adults never understood why I focused a lot on such a non-important thing. As a child, I sometimes had the idea that I would never make myself become a grown-up like he/she. While through the year pass, I gradually accidentally become an adult I don’t like. Maybe because of the reality and maybe because of the society, I lose my heart as being a naïve child. After the sharing, I went back home and wrote down what I used to value a lot and what I wanted to achieve. I decided to spend some time every day, recalling my childhood, and finish those dreams. Act like an adult but think like a child.
