Chapter 1066 What is a gift from the heart?
In fact, if this short film was made by someone else, it may be difficult to gain such popularity.

That's what celebrity is all about.

But I have to say that when the story of "The Gift of the Magi" was widely circulated, many people would be curious to see what kind of specific story it was that allowed so many people to say that it was the best story of the year. Touching romance.

In fact, it has been many years since there have been any particularly good and exciting love-themed movies.

Not just movies, in fact, including various film and television works.

With the development of the times, the concept of love in the new era has gradually become very strange to everyone.

Once upon a time, divorce was definitely a big deal for a family, but divorce is not uncommon for young people today. Although it is said that the times are improving, it also proves from another angle that people nowadays treat love , the attitude towards marriage has undergone tremendous changes.

But the more this is the case, the more people yearn for that kind of pure, pure love.

This is also the reason why those youth nostalgic films full of emotional memories are often tried and tested, and they can always evoke people's good memories.

Just because now, if you want to find that kind of pure love, that kind of unreserved love, you can only find it in your memory.

Things that people desire but can't ask for, naturally feel more and more rare.

Of course, it does not mean that there is no such kind of love, and because of this, it is very important that the stories in the short film "The Gift of the Magi" feel very close to reality and not so illusory.

Because the love in some film and television works and literary works often gives people the feeling that it is illusory and belongs to others, and even the probability of it happening is extremely small.

But "The Gift of the Magi" gives people a feeling that something may be happening in a certain corner of the world.

Especially nowadays, there are more and more film and television dramas, which contain so-called dog food, show affection, and sweet to death plots, but most of the time, this kind of thing, in fact, can really be called Is it true love?

Because of that kind of sweetness, that kind of affection, it will always give people the feeling of floating in mid-air.

Just like what the famous romance writer and film critic Kitty Mao said in his review for "The Gift of the Magi".

"Huaguo is a world-renowned state of etiquette. Naturally, everyone has their own particulars in terms of etiquette. It involves all aspects, not to mention the large scale. It is just a guest or a meeting with friends. Gifts are always given at festivals and birthday banquets. , to express the blessings of the guests.

In fact, we all know that there is a word called courtesy and reciprocity. As the name suggests, reciprocity is the real courtesy. However, with the development of the times, some deep-rooted things have been changed beyond recognition.

This is especially true among men and women who are passionately in love. It was very common for men and women to give each other gifts in the past, but now, we ask ourselves, especially for women, they are often in a stronger position in love, so , Gradually evolved, every festival, such as Valentine's Day, Christmas, etc., it seems that men must give gifts to women, which seems to be a matter of course.

But in fact, this is a very deformed inequality, because there has never been anything that should be taken for granted, because courtesy is always reciprocated, but there is no reciprocity, and women enjoy the gifts of men with peace of mind. Some people remember that the so-called Valentine's Day and Christmas are women's festivals, so why not men's festivals?
But when the gift is only one-sided, is this gift really a good gift?

Can women really accept such a gift with peace of mind without thinking about any feedback?
I remember seeing a lot of girls in the comment area leaving messages saying that seeing Della preparing gifts for her husband and selling her proud long hair, she was always uneasy, worried that her husband would be angry when he saw it, and felt that her love was very serious. humble.

But I really can't understand this point of view, because people who hold this point of view, in fact, deep down in their hearts, they don't regard love as an equal relationship.

During festivals, as women, have you ever imagined what surprises your boyfriend will bring to you, but you have never thought about what surprise gifts to feed back to your boyfriend.

This inequality is deformed and terrifying.

True love never makes people feel humble.

Della spent all her time preparing gifts for her husband Jim. She never thought about getting a gift from her husband, because she wanted to, so she did it.

Many of our women are complaining about what kind of weird gifts their boyfriends gave themselves on Valentine’s Day, but what gifts did you give to your boyfriend who keeps saying you love him?

No!At least not most of the time.

This is really a sad thing!

What we need to know is that love is not just talking about it, it is an act of bringing happiness to others, and it is a noble spiritual state and moral character.

But is the love that only blindly makes oneself happy and happy, is it really love?
Well, let's go back to the gift itself, let alone the gift packaging style, price, etc., the types of gifts are enough to dazzle for a while, such as precious gold and silver, rattan weaving, exquisite clothing, special pastries, and even A book or a pen can be a good gift.So how to measure the suitability and value of a gift is not something that can be explained clearly in one or two sentences.In the matter of choosing a gift, you must never listen to others. The recommendation of the merchant can only be used as a reference, and the final suitable one must be determined by your heart.

The story of "The Gift of the Magi" tells an episode of gift giving between two lovers. Although the story is not long, there are important gifts hidden everywhere.Then let's take a look at the short film "Maggie's Gift", which gifts are prepared for us to open.

There is a saying on the Internet: "It is poverty that limits our imagination!"

The answer is to a certain extent, it must be admitted that there will be.However, in terms of the length of life, poverty should not limit human development, let alone a belief that hinders people's pursuit of beauty.

I believe this is the first mystery gift hidden in The Gift of the Magi.Jim and Della's life is not considered rich, even very tight. Compared with those bright and beautiful gifts that are often expensive, the dozens of dollars saved from life are really insignificant.So how are you going to spend this Christmas?Stories can tell us that they are still eager to buy the gift they want to give each other and make each other happy.This motivation to yearn for beauty and persist in it is enough to convince me that it can bring people the ability to see happiness in the stormy future.

We often say that etiquette is less important than affection, but today, many people show off their wealth, and the gifts posted on various festivals are often compared. Is this the gift you want?

So what counts as a thoughtful gift?
In the story, both parties are willing to sacrifice their most precious things in exchange for the long-awaited gift of the other party, eager to see the joyful expression on their faces when they receive the gift.I think this should be a real thoughtful gift! "
