In the dust of servants, if separated by worldly barriers and label definitions, my dear, how will you think of me? - I asked myself
The French film "The Grace of the Hedgehog" tells the story of a seemingly rude janitor, but has a high degree of cultural and artistic attainment and philosophical thinking about life and philosophy. She is a lonely hedgehog, but with an untold elegance in the depths of her soul. The ugly janitor meets the eccentric rich kid, the funny middle-aged gentleman, in this French high-end apartment. People of the same frequency, who understand each other, are no longer lonely.
I looked for God's hidden gift—books. It will be my bell in the modern "Notre Dame de Paris", soothing your bells – trust me
1. Ugly and elegant
54-year-old janitor Renee. Michelle, bloated, humble and withdrawn, looked like a typical porter. Palomar, a child of the Congressman's family, found the janitor hidden behind her appearance that was unusual—she was extremely delicate and unusually elegant. It turned out that behind the cramped concierge, there were piles of books, and the janitors liked to read, think, the tea ceremony and dark chocolate, and here all the hustle and bustle of the world was isolated. Paloma pierces through everything: you are not an ordinary concierge, you have found a good hiding place. I'm going to be a janitor in the future.
2. Quirky and accessible
"You're going to be a princess in the future," the janitor told her. Renee understands that social classes determine different destinies. Pierre. Arden's death was a big deal, her husband died in a concierge, just a small thing in people's lives. Paloma, 11, spends her days thinking about the meaning of life. Looking at the hypocrisy of adults coldly, they feel that people's lives are like goldfish in a fish tank. She planned to commit suicide on her 12th birthday and get rid of the fate that had been arranged long ago. She carried the camera all day, turning the camera at everyone, wanting to make a movie that documented why life was so ridiculous before she died.
3. Understand and place
The newly moved Japanese neighbor, Ozu Geran, is a middle-aged gentleman, economically wealthy and spiritually rich. When he took a warm glance with the janitor and her cat named Leon, the two casually said that "happy families are very similar" and "unhappy families have their own misfortunes", and look forward to this wonderful encounter. At the same time, he also saw that Paloma was special, and he corrected her Japanese pronunciation, knowing that her cat was called "Parliament and Constitution", and the three of them slowly approached. He invited Renee to dinner on the grounds that between the neighbors, that was all. Khrennie was shocked: I am a concierge.
When Renee went to Ozu's house for dinner, she saw the painting on the wall and blurted out the line from the "Sokata Sisters" movie: The Kyoto Mountains have the color of red bean pudding. In the warm dinner, letters, gifts, movies and other small exchanges and contacts with each other, Ozu appreciates the interesting soul of the janitor more and more.
The story is not long, 3 people, 4 cats and 2 goldfish, and the elites who come and go and the small people around them, but it is a rare film with depth. Finally the janitor died, and the little girl understood: what mattered was not death, but what you were doing at the moment of death, Renee, you were ready to love.
4. Now finally:
When I'm strong enough and the worldly isn't strong enough to judge my heart, reading will become my new motto– I always think
"In your temperament, there are books you have read, the roads you have traveled, and the people you have loved." Stranger, how long have you not read a book properly? I hope that you have books and have leisure and pleasure in your soul, and I also hope that you will meet Ozu Gelang who understands you in the vast sea of people, put down the spikes in your body, and slowly grow old gracefully together.
