I watched the movie Lion. I love this movie because it has many quotes that resonated with my soul.
If you are planning to watch this movie, please read my article after you watch the movie. I might include some information that you don’t want to know before watching.
So, here it goes.
When the main character could not tell the truth that he was searching for his biological mother, his girlfriend told him that:
You underestimate her.
This line gave me goosebumps. I thought of my mother. Even though she is my mother, I don’t know much about her. We are not close and we don’t talk much. I was planning to send her a letter recently, but I still have the draft letter with me.
In the letter, I wrote down how I feel about my Japanese family. It took me hours to finish the letter. I wrote and read, deleted and added some parts, and then rephrased some words. I made my efforts not to hurt her but to focus on conveying my true feeling.
I spent my hours and days like that. But still, the letter has not been sent to her yet.
Perhaps, I might underestimate my mother. She might have deeper understanding than I think. Or I might overestimate her. Who knows?
Unless I make an opportunity to talk to her in person, I won’t be able to know it. And, that is the hardest challenge for me at this moment.
