You are the most beautiful story in my life
When we were children, our world is consists of many fairy tales. There are the old castles, the dark forests, the beautiful mermaid, the sinister witch, the handsome prince, the sleeping princess in it. All in all, that is a pure world. There is no evil or tear in it, the prince and the princess live happily forever. However, when we grow up, we all get away from those. We become ruthless and always think about ourselves and we think the beautiful fairy tales are childish. Then we feel the world is cold and we have no good friends. Is that the growth? Is that the true life?
Will’s father, Edward, says, “No”. He builds a multicolored fairy tale world for his son, and he wants to let Will’s life be full of longing and hopes. He also tells to Will, that even though the way ahead is hard and full of unknown risks, he should not stop making progress, he should be brave to face every challenge.
In the beautiful town named “The town of Spectre”, so many people who passed by would like to live here forever because here is so beautiful that everyone like here. Like a poet, whose name is Winslow, keeps staying in that town for
many years and has written only 3 lines of a poem. This town is just like a greenhouse; even the water here is sweet. However, if Edward stays here, he will never experience the surprises and stimulations in the future. So, Edward decided to leave there, even though he has not a pair of shoes that can protect his feet. He knows that the stones and thorns will hurt his feet, but he is not afraid. The life in this town is really desirable, but his life should be end up there? No, if he stops to live in this town, he will not meet his wife and many surprises. The stones and thorns represent the difficulties. Edward uses this story to teach Will that he should be brave to face every challenge.
A mermaid appears twice in Edward’s story. I think she represents the people's dreams and desires. As Jenny said, “Fish looks different to different people”. Edward wants to tell Will that everyone has a lot of dreams, but not all of them can come true. As long as you have a brave heart, and you dare to think, dare to do, dare to dream, even if you will be tired and your body will be injured, but you will always feel satisfied and find happiness at last.
Of course, the most important is to keep a kind heart. For example, Winslow, the poor poet, wants to rob the bank.
However, because of the economic crisis, there is no money in that bank. So Edward puts his own check into Winslow’s pocket. Through this story, Edward wants to tell Will that he should keep kind to all people.
When the beautiful town becomes chaos because of people's greed, Edward never says give up. Although he has little money, but he has a lot of friends, such as the boss of the circus, the giant, conjoined twins, and Winslow ,he is already a millionaire now, they gives him a lot of money and Edward rebuilds the small town. Edward wants to tell Will that everyone will make a mistake and regret, but don’t be afraid, as long as you are willing to pay to save, you will save everything.
Because of witch who can let a person see the way he dies, Edward understands the meanings of birth and death. He is not afraid of death any more, so whenever he is in trouble, he never gives up. Edward wants to tell Will that he had better not be afraid of death and has the courage to face death, he just does the things he wants and don’t stopped his feet.
At last, Will finally understands his father’s exquisite emotion and deep love. In Will’s eyes, Edward is no longer the person who likes brag and always be hypocritical. When
Edward will be die, Will builds a beautiful ending of the fairy tale about Edward’ life —— all of people come to the river bank to see him off, his beautiful wife , dressed in a beautiful skirt ,is standing in the river and gives him a kiss. He gives the wedding ring to her and then changes into a big fish. He leaps into the river and goes away.
I am moved by this movie. Will is lucky, because his father loves him deeply. His father is the most beautiful story in his life, I believe.
