Kim Sentence One: "But that's okay. Goodbye, friend." - Heron

From the beginning, when the real person walked into his mother's mansion, the heron flew into the eaves and whizzed past him, and Aunt Natsuko exclaimed that it was rare, and this seemed to imply that the heron and he were destined to connect.

At first, the Heron is an annoying existence for real people, and it constantly stimulates him with the dead mother of real people, and is even suspected of causing Aunt Natsuko's disappearance. In order to find Aunt Natsuko, the real person embarks on a magical journey. In the process, they never disagreed, ridiculed each other, and finally supported each other and returned to the real world successfully.

Just before the heron was ready to leave, it said goodbye to the real person, friend. In each other's hearts, this entanglement has turned into a bond called a friend.

Golden Phrase 2: "This scar was self-inflicted, and it is a symbol of my malice." - Mujin

In order to find Aunt Natsuko, the real person stepped into the mysterious ancient pagoda next to the mansion, which is rumored to have been built by his uncle. In the process of rescuing Aunt Natsuko, the real person meets the legendary uncle. While placing the stone blocks in his hand, the uncle explained that the building blocks were the world he created.

In order to find Aunt Natsuko, the real person stepped into the mysterious ancient pagoda that was rumored to have been built by his uncle. In the process of rescuing Aunt Natsuko, the real person meets the legendary uncle. While placing the stone blocks in his hand, the uncle explained that the blocks were the world he created, and hoped that a real person would take his place.

The real person did not touch the stones, either because he knew that in that world, balance was established by the dead, and because he understood that he also had malicious intentions. The scars on the real person's head symbolize pain and deception, just like bumps and bumps on the road to growing up for you and me.

For him, the scar reminded him of the pain of his mother's loss and revealed the pain of his deception of his father and his unwillingness to open his heart. Perhaps these scars are the best proof of reminding yourself not to forget.

Golden sentence three: "Can you give birth to a real person, is it not happy?" - Fire beauty

During the journey to find Aunt Natsuko, Majin is helped by many people, one of whom is Huomi, a girl who is good at using flames to save others. And Nami is Natsuko's sister, Majin's deceased mother.

At the end of the plot, the real man and Huomei and the other group return to the ancient tower, which connects different worlds, as long as you open a specific door, you can return to the real world where you were originally located. At this time, Huomi and Majin have different choices.

Mako tells her the fate of her death in the future, and Huomi still chooses to go to the future to give birth to him, and meeting him is the fate that Huomi believes. Many times, we will not look back for what our hearts want, just like those who are fully engaged in but fruitless feelings, and have passionate but unattainable career ideals.

In the process, we have felt happiness steadily, so we will not waste this trip.

Golden Sentence 4: "It doesn't have much power, it will be forgotten soon." - Heron

Back in the real world, Heron and Real People, before the two parted, Heron asked him if he remembered what happened? Forget it! The real person's outstretched palm, showing the talisman of another world and a small stone, Heron said in amazement Did you bring it back? Fortunately, all this will soon be forgotten.

In fact, the amulet and the stone represent the hope for peace in times of war, and the cruelty and malice of war, respectively, which may fade over time, but the pain never disappears. Or perhaps, the "it" here refers to another world, or the thoughts that exist in the minds and minds of real people.

Our experience of certain events fades as life progresses, it may be a small goodbye, it may be a catastrophe, but it will not disappear. Those events and feelings were real, and this sentence may be to tell the world that the meaning that has been preserved will never be forgotten.

Golden Phrase 5: "Cunning is the wisdom of my life." - Heron

From the beginning of the movie, Heron constantly stirs the heart of a real person with his dead mother, luring him to the ancient tower, or when the two decide to work together to find Aunt Natsuko halfway, Heron's wound wants to run away as soon as it is repaired by a real person, and then when the real person is trapped, the parrot attacks him and escapes.

Heron's Japanese pronunciation is the same as deception, full of lies and cunning are the characteristics of Heron's survival. Interestingly, in this movie, it's not entirely negative. When the heron is for self-interest, cunning makes it appear particularly cold and insidious, and when the heron gives for others, cunning becomes an escape line in trouble.

Cunning, as the wisdom of the heron's survival, is also evil and righteous, and cannot be easily classified. As Gong Jun once said: "In my characters, there is no simple opposition between good and evil, and there are no good people against bad people." Whether it's positive or negative, you can enjoy life to the fullest."

We may be both good and bad in other people's lives, including unintentional bad or considerate good. However, we also recognize that the real world is full of ambiguity, so we learn to live with it and try to find our own way to live.

After reading the above golden sentences, which one particularly moved you? In fact, "Heron and Boy" does not have too many beautiful lines, and the expression is simple but meaningful. If you have already watched the movie, you may wish to precipitate or enter the scene to brush it again and feel the meaning behind these golden sentences again.
