Shoplifters
One movie, one life
After reading it, I felt very uncomfortable, and I always felt panicked. A group of unrelated people form a happy and fragile family. In order to maintain the family's livelihood, they are doing all kinds of shameful deeds. Everyone is working hard to live, and everyone is dependent on each other. But with the death of his grandmother, the younger brother broke his leg to protect his stolen sister and was caught. After all, the secret of the family was exposed. The younger sister returned to her original family, but she was obviously unhappy. The younger brother seemed to have a better destination, and the "bad guys" were also punished, but it was not like this for the children. At the end of the film, the father sent his younger brother away, and the younger brother sat on the far away bus and turned his head and looked out the window. I silently read the word father, and finally it was a bit of regret. The fetters of the family are not completely maintained by blood relationship, and the ordinary life is so hard to come by. Cherish every day and cherish everyone around you.
Hana-bi
One movie, one life
A film directed and acted by Takeshi Kitano. A very gentle and quiet movie. The plot is very simple, the rhythm is also very gentle, almost nothing unexpected happens. Everything is natural.
The protagonist Mr. Xi is a criminal policeman. However, his daughter died young, and his wife suffered a terminal illness. His partner Horibe was seriously injured when he went to visit his wife, was disabled for life, and was abandoned by his wife and daughter. In a later mission, Tanaka was also shot and killed. He took the blame and resigned. In order to support his family, he had to start borrowing usury, and as the amount of money increased, the lenders began to claim interest. In the end, he decided to take the risk, rob the bank, and go on a last trip with his wife.
The story is actually very depressing, even bloody. But the movie makes people feel as if they are reading a gentle poem. The sad atmosphere of the whole story of the Kitano warlord creates a very subtle atmosphere, whether it is the paintings of Horibe or the travel pictures of Mr. Nishi and his wife. The transitions in many places are very exciting. What I admire most is that after reading this story, I only feel sad, but not painful.
The Truman Show
One movie, one life
What is real? What's the point of pursuing it? How good is it for Truman to live happily in Haijing Town. Is it necessary to risk his life to escape outside? Shouldn't happiness be what we are after? Isn't beauty what we should pursue? Why give up a stable life?
I think most people should have had similar fantasies. Everything around is false and virtual exists around themselves. All environments and people are scams. At that time, I fantasized. Living in such a world, how can I prove its falsehood, and how can I get rid of it?
The answer is: no way. Because in a false world, you only have false logic, false reasoning, false relationships, and even false emotions. In this way, from beginning to end, there is nothing in you that truly belongs to you. You are alone. From birth to death, you have never owned a thing, because everything is untrue. What you think you have is a scam. What you embrace is air. Therefore, false logic can only prove false facts, and false sensibility can only tell you the false direction. How can it not be scary? Because man is not an isolated individual, man is a man of the entire society, man is a man of the entire world, in other words, man is just an individual element of a huge organization, and man is a real man only in a real environment. In this way, everything we do is meaningful, and everything we have is worth embracing and valuable.
