Pastime is adapted from Magic, the most popular children's novel in the world in recent two years. It tells the story of 10-year-old boy Augie's facial deformity at birth. From the beginning, I dare not take off my helmet to face the world, to bravely integrate into the campus, and then to change the inspirational growth story of everyone around me.

The little boy Auggie was born with a malignant disease. Treacher Collins syndrome (mandibular facial hypoplasia) caused his facial deformity, and there were many complications. After dozens of operations, Auggie can finally survive, but his twisted face will still be daunting.

Auggie lived at home until he was ten years old. Under the close protection of his family, his intelligence and behavior have been well developed, but he has never participated in group life or made friends with others. As long as he can remember, he wore an astronaut's helmet and watched the world carefully wherever he went.

However, if you want to be a healthy person, you must understand and integrate into society and learn how to live in groups. When Auggie finished the fourth grade, his parents thought it was time to face the world, so they decided to send Auggie to an ordinary school for a normal education.

From then on, the story begins. Throughout the year, all kinds of crowding out, attacks, pranks, betrayals ... Auggie had to learn to face the world alone and deal with a series of realistic and cruel events.

On the first day of school, he was stared at by everyone when he walked towards his classmates with his head down. He said to himself, "It doesn't matter". I can only observe everyone's shoes and guess who will be my friend.

The students soon became one, but no one wanted to get close to Auggie. Boys make fun of him, while girls whisper behind his back, waiting for jokes. This embarrassing ordeal is really worrying.

Auggie felt the greatest malice in his life. When he got home, he shut himself in his room and cried. He hated his appearance and asked his mother aggrieved: am I ugly?

Mother answered him gently and patiently, "You are not ugly, Auggie".

Auggie didn't believe it: "Because you are my mother, you can only say this".

Mother still looked him straight in the eye and said positively, "It is because I am your mother that my opinion is important, because I know you best." .

Mother looked at the scar on Auggie's face and gently explained to him:

The mark on everyone's face is the road he has traveled all his life, just like the wrinkles on her face, it is a natural thing.

When children find that they have defects different from others, they often arouse inner incomprehension and rejection, and even turn into dissatisfaction and anger towards themselves. I hate myself for this, but I can't change it.

However, when the closest person-mother-shows unquestionable affirmation and acceptance to the child, the child may find that all this may not be so bad, and will begin to face it bravely and try to accept himself.

Parents' affirmation and recognition are the source of children's self-confidence.

In addition, the interesting thing about the film is that it is not only from the perspective of the protagonist Augie, but also from the perspective of Augie's sister, Augie's friend Jack and his sister's girlfriend. We can see the natural reactions of people around Augie.

Some people will start trying to get in touch with:

At first, none of the students wanted to contact Auggie. At the request of his parents, Jack greeted Auggie reluctantly. In an exam, Auggie helped Jack intellectually, and then they began to become friends.

Some people choose to be friendly:

Even though Auggie would subconsciously take defensive and suspicious measures, a friend took the first step in good faith, sat next to him and told him directly, "I want to meet new friends."

Some people will choose to encourage:

Vivia, a sensible sister, has been taking care of Augie since he was born, constantly encouraging him: "You were born different, and you are doomed not to be silent." .

Some people will choose indifference or even bullying.

Auggie looks like a mirror. How people treat Auggie also reflects the person's own personality and values to some extent.

Kindness is not a gift, but a choice.

However, this kind of kindness is not necessarily an innate ability, it also needs to learn and grow. We tend to sympathize with the weak, but it is the weak who give us the opportunity to learn kindness and express goodwill.

The so-called miracle boy is not Auggie himself, but through Auggie, everyone has become better people. This is a miracle.

"May we all choose kindness,

You can accept yourself. "
