"It's also fine without you."

Snipaste_2018-12-12_19-05-17

A few days ago, I watched "Wreck-It Ralph 2". When I left the cinema, I felt that it was the best movie of the year, except for "Avengers 3", so I wanted to write a review to commemorate it.

p1877537866

In the first movie, Ralph and Vanellope's meeting was so unexpected. They were both "outcasts", one fantasizing about a gold medal and the other dreaming of being a racer, but they were not well-liked. Their partnership can be considered as a kind of "like-mindedness". I didn't like Ralph when he first appeared, not following the rules and only causing destruction; Vanellope's mischievous behavior at the beginning was also unlikeable.

But seeing them work hard together, reconcile after conflicts, and their innocence and kindness made their liveliness even more charming. Perhaps, this is the depth of the characters. They have a good side, but also their own little flaws, they present themselves as their true selves, without hypocrisy. This authenticity is endearing.

Therefore, seeing the plot of the second movie is even more relatable.

They have been together for six years, he sees her as his best friend, and she deserves it. They play together in various games every day, drink together, chat together, and confide in each other. They understand each other, share hardships and joys, they are the most familiar to each other. When she said her racing game was boring, he tried to surprise her; when her home was about to be destroyed, he worked hard to earn money to get her home back. So, when she said she wanted to leave in the end, he was a hundred percent unwilling.

Indeed, Ralph is too clingy and too sensitive, these are qualities we should deny. But as I said earlier, it is because of these flaws that he is authentic enough. Authentic to the point where I feel sorry for him.

At the end of the film, he let go of his obsession and let Vanellope chase her dreams. Friendship should not be a shackle to dreams. That's why many film reviews say that friendship is the outer garment of growth. We should learn to smile and wave goodbye, becoming an adult is a process of learning to say goodbye to intimate people.

I remember that a friend from middle school and I both wrote an essay called "Friendship Lasts Forever" in our weekly journals, but in fact, no one can guarantee that friendship can last forever. The people who truly accompany us in our growth are actually very few, maybe we won't even meet one in our lifetime. Middle school friends, high school friends, college friends, even if we played well and were close back then, we lose contact after graduation.

I believe that Ralph will encounter more excitement in the future, after all, he still has so many friends around him. Compared to when he was lonely and had no one, he is much better now. At that time, he had no one, he slept in the junkyard all day. And now, the scenery is indeed brought to him by Vanellope.

"It's fine without you."

Ralph will play with Fix-It Felix Jr., have heart-to-heart talks with the members of the Bad-Anon support group, meet and get to know characters from other games, and meet more people. Vanellope will also have a better time with her friends, no longer complaining about the boring racing game, every day will be full of surprises and happiness.

And they will still occasionally talk, true friendship, without the stickiness and entanglement of love, more like a long-lasting and deep-rooted kinship. Even if they can't meet, even if they are far apart, they can support each other in times of disappointment and give each other infinite strength.

Chen Peisi once said about his friendship with Zhu Shimao, "I never forget, and I will never forget." Instead of saying that I never forget, it is better to remember the strong friendship we once had on a sunny afternoon, and a smile will inadvertently appear on our lips. That is enough. Indeed, you contain not only yourself, but also the roads you have traveled, the books you have read, and the people you have met. What Vanellope brought to Ralph is not just a friendship, but also made Ralph a better person.

At the end of the film, Ralph is alone, looking at the sunset, rejecting the comfort of Fix-It Felix Jr., pondering about something. Perhaps, this is the best moment to end the story.

He was once the richest person in the world, never considering parting ways, but the best days are over. We will eventually grow up, and there will also be a future without Vanellope, a life story that no one will continue to write. No matter how beautiful the future scenery is, who can we share it with?

I only remember the lyrics from "Lost Oasis": "The more I see the vastness of the sea and sky, the more I regret not having you to share my emotions."

Thank you for accompanying me through one of the worst and best moments in life.

"It's fine without you."

"But if you were here, it would be even better."
