Found a quite nice meaningful Chinese New Year short film on Youtube, titled "Family Portrait 全家福" by James Lee, I thought of sharing it here:
This short film begins with a boy holding an old photo album, wondering who are those people in those old photographs. He then turn to his older brother, sister and parents to ask who are those people. However, none of them really care what he actually asks, they only concentrate on what they are doing that time, being busy. When he finally ask his grandmother, she properly answered him cheerfully as though she is living those past life.
When it reached to the final quarter of the video, surprisingly for me, it turned into a comedic part, the grandmother scolded everyone of the table not to play with their smartphones while having their dinner. However, it turn out that it was her own phone received a notification on her game. !?!WHAT?!??!! and she asked everyone to help in her game. It's hilarious when the mother ask: "Shouldn't we only play it after dinner?" and the grandmother shouted literally: "Of course not!!!". Haha...
The final message which this short film wish to deliver is pretty meaningful. I would certainly support it.
I believe the most precious moments in life can't be captured by photographs.
We must remember to live the moments as they happen.
