Do you think the world is good?
What if it kept giving you hope when you were dark and then destroyed itself?
The Japanese movie "A Beautiful World" is so gentle and cruel.

The protagonist Mikami, referred to as the old three is good. This Japanese man's life is rotten like mud, how bad is it?
Abandoned by his birth mother at the age of 5 and admitted to an orphanage, he began to skip class in the 5th grade of primary school and wandered in society.
He later joined the gang and was sentenced at the age of 14 for fighting in a juvenile correctional home, and then later sentenced for escaping from the correctional home because of injuring a caretaker.
When he was released from prison at the age of 19, he joined the underworld as a thug, and then later fought for the debt collection of the community, because his temper was too smelly, he entered the palace six times, accumulating ten previous convictions.
At the age of 44, he taught his wife a lesson, killed someone by mistake, and said the wrong thing in court, and was sentenced to 13 years in prison.
Now, he has been released from prison after completing his sentence, disconnected from society for more than 10 years, no house, no car, no job, no money, and high blood pressure, how will he live in his 60s?
These countries all thought of it, and put him in a guardian, a kind and respected old lawyer.
After he was released from prison, he was invited to eat his first meal, a simple stew pot made the third elder eat tears, if nothing else, 13 years of cold rice is not as good as the current piece of fat cattle.
Eat so freely, so comfortably. Let the third elder make up his mind that this time he must reform himself.
Without a house to live in, he found a cheap rental house with the help of an old lawyer and got him a sewing machine because he had learned to make kendo costumes in prison and planned to eat by this craft.
There was no money to spend, and with the help of the old lawyer, he applied for a minimum guarantee and successfully approved it.
Trying to find his mother, who had never met, a television station valued the traffic brought by his story and sent a small reporter to interview him closely to help him find his mother!!!
When you are alone, there are so many kind people around to help you, and the dark life appears bright.
Originally thought to be a cool drama, the painting style turned, and a new helplessness appeared, and various problems followed!
Although he applied for the minimum guarantee, he was treated as garbage by the civil servants, saying that people with underworld could not apply for the minimum guarantee, and the third was so angry that his blood pressure soared, and he fainted without taking two steps.
Although there is a measly small monthly minimum guarantee for living in a house, it is difficult to find a job.
First of all, many companies are reluctant to recruit people with a criminal record, because the probability of these people running into trouble again is very high.
Secondly, the tailoring line has long been eliminated, and many kendo clothing stores have said that the demand is very small and they cannot afford to hire people.
Living on a low bail is basically like a beggar. The world was so big that he suddenly felt like he had nowhere to go.
Fortunately, there is no end to the road, and the small reporter helped him find more recruitment information.
One of them is a truck driver position with a low threshold and low work intensity. The only requirement is that as long as you have a driver's license.
When he rushed to get a replacement driver's license, he was told that the driver's license had expired for ten years and needed to be reapplied.
The driver's license is a lot of money for him, and he can only cut back on food and clothing and save all the low security deposits.
Every time you enter the supermarket, you have to hesitate for a long time, and you have to hesitate for a long time when you don't have money in your pocket, so you are mistaken by the supermarket owner as a thief.
It was hard to save enough money to go to the exam, but unfortunately now the exam is very strict, there are many tricks, he has a lot of operation, all kinds of violations and all kinds of errors directly zero points.
The driver can't do it, and the work is hopeless.

This night, the third saw a group of bullying a master, the third could not bear it, went forward to teach them, the other party is not vegetarian, and immediately several people fought very fiercely.
The editor next to him did not go to persuade the fight, but saw that after the broadcast, the program effect was very good, so he let the small reporter quickly shoot it, the small reporter was afraid of malicious editing of the video, after the broadcast, the third elder could not find a job at all. I refused!
The third old won the battle, but his life did not change a bit, and even worse. The second exam opportunity did not pass.
At this time, the small reporter told him that the program was in vain, and advised him that if he wanted to be an ordinary person in the future, he should learn to restrain his emotions and learn to be silent first.
The third elder did not understand very much, seeing good people being bullied but turning a blind eye, then what is the point of living? Do you have to pretend to be a grandson forever to be a normal person?
This "fucking egg" society seems to be unable to tolerate him, everywhere he hits a wall, everywhere is discriminated against, they can't live anymore, then he remembered the big brother's phone, except for asking for help from the previous big brother, he didn't know what to do.
The warm hospitality of the eldest brother, eating and drinking spicy, let him find the intimacy of going home, but the underworld is not easy to mix now.
Japan has more and more restrictions on triad practitioners, such as not being able to open an account, children not being able to go to kindergarten... It is almost equivalent to "social death".
Young people dare not join, and the older generation has no successor.
The eldest sister-in-law advised him: "Just this one opportunity to reform, don't go back to prison." ”
Life is once again plunged into a darkness, I don't know where the road ahead is going, at this time life shows its tenderness.

Social workers, neighborhood committees and guardianship lawyers all know that the third elder has the idea of returning to the underworld, and in order not to let him make mistakes again, he helped him find a nursing job in a nursing home.
On the day of his official employment, the men gave him a small celebratory dinner and gave him a bicycle to go to work.
Because of their help, the third elder felt that he was surrounded by sunlight. It seemed to be full of strength to reinvigorate. He felt like a normal person at last.
In this way, the third elder worked earnestly with a grateful heart. I also met a good friend in the nursing home, a disabled youth.
But this child has always been the object of ridicule by all employees.
On this day, the third elder had just finished his hygiene, and he happened to see two nurses bullying this stupid colleague in the corner.
He was furious, grabbed the mop and was about to make a big fight. However, this time, he did not dare to come forward, it was hard to have a job, such a dozen, the work will definitely be finished.
He could only pretend not to see, hiding to the side in anger and his blood pressure soaring. I took several pills to calm down.
Afterwards, he had to pretend to be indifferent, listening to the nurses laughing at the stupid colleagues together, he did not dare to be indignant, just like the reporter said, keep silent, in order to keep his job.
He finally became the "silent majority" he hated the most, hiding his true self, cowering and putting on the mask of an ordinary person.
At the end of the work, the stupid colleague took advantage of the typhoon to pick a lot of cosmos and gave it to the old Trinity by the way.
Silly colleagues treat everyone as friends, but no one thinks of him as friends.
The third elder was so ashamed that he almost didn't cry.
On the way home, the third elder received a call from the previous one. His ex-wife heard that he was out of prison, and also found a job, and asked him to get together on the weekend.
This is his only concern in the world. He felt as if there was some new hope in life.
But when he happily went home to collect his clothes, he suddenly fell ill and left this beautiful world.
There was no medicine at hand, only a bunch of cosmos.
Cosmos represents innocence, strength, and eternal happiness.
He saved his job, but he lost his innocence, his strength and his happiness.
A prodigal son of the underworld wants to go back to society and become an ordinary person.
But I found that in the reality of following the rules, there was everything in the process of seeking perfection and helplessness.
Everyone has been young and crazy and full of enthusiasm, but in the end they have all converged their sharpness and sharpness, and have been smoothed out by reality.
Start to be afraid of making mistakes, start to make promises, and start living for the sake of life.
The ending is even more cruel and realistic, as if everything is about to start beautiful, and then abruptly stopped.
