The Japanese film Serenade (アイネクライネ ナハトムジーク 2019) tells the love story of two generations of six pairs, all revolving around the main line of the male protagonist Sato's pursuit of "encounter" love. Although it all involves how to meet and how to meet for the first time, the encounter and the first encounter itself are not the reasons for love, let alone the necessary conditions for the long-term union of two people. Only "gratitude" can produce love and maintain love, which applies not only to love, but also to affection, and even to maintaining the connection between all human beings.
The movie La belle époque (2019). The Buddha said, "All beings suffer!" "So what happens to us when we really encounter pain? Following the teachings of the Buddha, practicing to extinguish the desires of the body and mind in order to achieve the goal of getting rid of ultimate suffering? Not all sentient beings have such wisdom roots. However, this movie tells us a simple way: when you are in pain, think about what you are happy about! In response to emotional matters, the heroine seems to express a proverb: We made a good draft, but lost our real life. However, when faced with other pains, we may use the opposite: when you have a painful time, you must hope that someone will draft your life! Perhaps, the real intention of the movie is here.
The Japanese movie "Your Bird Can Sing" きみの鳥はうたえる (2018). This film should reflect a certain state of existence of young people in Japan, but it seems exaggerated to think that such young people are a group of waste materials. In this film, not only as the male and female protagonists of the migrant boys, even the boss who hired them is like a waste material, decadence seems to be the tone of this film, which may be the embodiment of the spirit of the times, but this is by no means related to the theme, at best it can only constitute the background of the theme of the display. When the female protagonist shows the male protagonist that she wants to formally associate with Shizuo. In fact, it is an ultimatum to the male protagonist, that is, to leave him. Because of the guise of Shizuo, I thought that the male protagonist would have a reaction, but as a result, the male protagonist said that he had already seen it, and said that he wanted to "re-perceive", when "pure air", "figured out" or something, showing that "it doesn't matter" is really desperate. Fortunately, the female protagonist and the male protagonist are indeed "sharp in their hearts", and the "pinch" when the female protagonist leaves, so that the emotional idiot of the male protagonist suddenly understands that the female protagonist's "goodbye" may be "never to be seen again". So I didn't wait another 120 seconds, and I chased the heroine in only 13 seconds. I believe they became. Because he finally confessed, she had that long-lost feeling of "being valued".
The movie The Shape of Water (2017) tells a fantasy love story set in the context of the U.S.-Soviet espionage war. This story is somewhat similar to the "Legend of the White Snake" that we have circulated for thousands of years, as if it is not as wonderful as ours. Therefore, I think that the focus of this film should not be on the "love" between different species. In fact, if you seriously think about many details outside the main line of love, we will find that this film may be more interested in the topic of "how love happens". It's just that this topic is almost "counter-contrasted" through three "end of love" small stories. The three short stories all reflect the theme of love and loneliness, although they are different, but the truth is the same, that is, love is lonely without response. The occurrence of love must first have an equal gaze, and secondly, love must have an equal response. Of course, this is not limited to love, but also the emotional appeal to other loves. "Love" needs to respond, and unresponsive love is lonely and painful.
The movie "Life Dense Seam" (彼らが本気で編むときは、2017) has two lines. One is the bright line of understanding and respect of Lunzi, as a transgender person, how to get along with others and eventually win the understanding and respect of her boyfriend's niece, and the other is the clear line that expresses a theme from beginning to end, and it gives me the feeling that "life is a dense seam" is like a practice, and different people will cultivate different results. Practice is actually the process of enduring suffering in life, so there is still a term "asceticism" outside the word "practice". The protagonist of this film, Lunzi, is originally a male body, but its psychology is completely female, and it is conceivable that such a person has to endure how much pain she has to endure if she wants to adapt to society normally. So, how did she face all this pain? She said to Xiaoyou: "No matter what happens, no matter what others say about you, you can't do that, don't make a sound, grit your teeth, endure, quietly wait for the anger to dissipate... I have always chosen to ignore it, whether it is extremely remorseful or painful... Then I knit it stitch by stitch, and just like that, unconsciously, my mood was calm. ”
Patterson (Paterson, 2016). I don't know if the film "Patterson" is deliberately showing some kind of humanistic feelings, such as: why black and white can't coexist amicably when the strong contrast between black and white can form such a beautiful pattern; since the twins are a beautiful landscape when they are together, why gay people can only hold hands in the dark? But I do see it showing a special quest for "uniqueness" in human nature. "Uniqueness" sometimes needs to be matched. "Poetic feelings" can be matched with "pictorial meaning", the male protagonist patterson and his wife in this film are successful examples, but it is difficult for "down-to-earth" people to be a perfect match with those who are "so high-minded", so the black couple who fight in the bar repeatedly can only be divided in the end. Patterson and his wife have unique talents, but compared to his wife, Patterson's talent is not as obvious as his wife, although they love each other and are nervous about each other, he tolerates his wife's free personality, and his wife also takes care of his "poetry", but the following two points are obvious, one is that he is not confident in his poetry, and the other is that his wife subconsciously does not look at his poetry. As far as the former is concerned, a confident poet cannot be afraid to read his own poems to those close to him, let alone love poems; he would rather recite a little girl's poem to cope with his wife's request to let him recite a poem than to memorize the poems he wrote himself; although he has read many famous works, he still does not seem to have mastered the method of writing poetry, so when he encounters a little girl reading to him the poems she wrote, and the black tongue-ringing singer improvises, he is willing to stop and listen carefully, obviously, he is comparing his own poems. In the case of the latter, if the wife really likes his poems and really wants to listen to his love poems written to her, when he takes the notebook full of poems out of the basement, even if she is carried away by a successful business, she will not fail to see the notebook in his hand! Perhaps because he had already felt this, the song he wrote, "Pumpkin", was a manifestation of his nervousness, because he was afraid that he was not worthy of her talent.
The Japanese film Seto Inland Sea (セトウツミ, 2016) is not even a drama film, it is not intended to tell a story, and it seems that two middle school students are gossiping from beginning to end. However, if we think about it carefully, we will find that their "small talk" is very interesting. The theme of this film should be to explore human emotions, in my opinion, it at least lays down three emotional lines of family, love, and friendship, and the family line seems to be the focus of this film.
I watched the movie "Certain Women" (2016) and was sleepy because the movie was so untouchable. But it is conceivable that those who have experiences, experiences and expectations will not be trapped, because the personalities of several heroines in the film will make them substitute or associate. If you are inexperienced, inexperienced, and born with a lack of certain emotions, then think of the following questions that may avoid the "trapped" situation: "a certain woman" is presented in three women, what "similar items" they have that allow them to be placed in the same movie, and which "kind" of "female" traits these similar items really want to indicate? Different moviegoers will of course summarize different similar items, such as some people think that the film is full of "frustration", which is very inspiring, but the film does not focus on their pursuits, dreams or desires, and "frustration" seems to be impossible to talk about. However, the last one to pay the emotional setback, is indeed a kind of "loss", and then think about the behavior and experience of the first two women, at least from their point of view, "loss" seems to be the main theme, but let us string it up to see, more think of the boring life, because not only them, each of us may be like this.
Lovers (Lovers たち, 2015). This film is to show "love" and "love", but strangely, in this kind of show, the film is constantly permeated with the topic of "deception". "Love" is a human instinctive emotion, "deception" is a secular behavior with a strong moral evaluation, and when the two are combined, we have a question: What is this film trying to express? If it wants to show our usual sense of behavior, that is, "love" cannot tolerate "deception", this kind of display does not seem to have any "forced" to speak of, it is too commonplace! In fact, the film seems to want to express a somewhat opposite intention: the emotion of true "love" cannot be evaluated and measured by "deception", and sometimes love can tolerate deception.
Sea Street Diaries (2015). Many people will give the feeling of "beautiful" after watching this movie. From this, we can say that the film was a success. The purpose of the film and its creators seems to be to make us feel this "beauty", otherwise, the end of the film will not mention twice that the dying person feels the "beauty of cherry blossoms", which is nothing more than to tell us that those who can feel the "beauty" before death are considered to have "lived a beautiful life". If we accept this argument, we can say that "beauty" is a basic need rooted in human nature. Although the theme of this film is related to "beauty", and we also have a recognition, but what makes us feel this beauty? I believe that many people may not be able to answer this question immediately, not only because the more simple the question, the more difficult it is to answer, but also because this film seems to be "simple", but in fact, the amount of information conveyed is very large. Therefore, it is necessary to summarize and sort out this information, otherwise, no matter how we answer the above questions, it may be argued to be one or the other. In my opinion, it is "home" that makes us feel good.
The theme of the film Liza, a rókatündér (2015) is clearly about love. "Love" is rooted in human nature, and no matter how much it is emphasized, it cannot be overemphasized, so the literary and artistic works that express "love" in ancient and modern China and abroad can be said to be as many as cattle feathers. This is risky, and if you are not careful, the expression of love will fall into the cliché. The film's expression of this theme is still relatively unique, it is to show the imperfect world, imperfect people to reflect "love" is still worth pursuing. So, how does it do it?
Life Is So Beautiful (Chce Się Żyć, 2013) is a Polish inspirational film about the story of a person with cerebral palsy. Some people see positive energy in it, and some people only see its negative side; however, no matter how the story is told, if it is only a flattening of the protagonist's difficulties, this movie can hardly be called a superior work. The choreographer seems to know this well, so in terms of narrative structure, the good and bad things that happen to the protagonist Mateusz are always alternate, although we can say that this has highlighted a certain human business connotation: good is always accompanied by ugliness, and happiness will be painful, but if that is all, the story must have the suspicion of strong soul chicken soup. In fact, the final feeling of this film to the audience is not so, the reason is that although the film shows the life of Mateus, it reflects the brilliance and gloom of human nature, and the key to achieving this purpose and improving the taste of this film is people's common sense of cerebral palsy patients: they are like a vegetable, they know nothing about reality; this is like a natural "curtain of ignorance", so that the various people before this scene show their true intentions and behaviors, and human nature shows its true face in this "truth".
Mourners (Mourners, 2015). In the case of a serious lack of entertainment and poor spirits, people who want to watch this film should be prepared to be hypnotized, because there is no climax in the middle of a movie that is close to 140 minutes long, and it is difficult to always maintain interest; but if we know that this is a movie about the theme of love and hate in life, then we may not doze off to watch it, because the love and hate of this human theme, anyone can put themselves in the shoes of the side of appreciation and thinking, and even arouse your desire to criticize according to their own experience. So, how does this film tell about how people should treat love and hate? We know that man is an animal that can both love and hate, and it is usually easier for people to "remember hate" than to "remember love". The best way to bring out this human nature is to push it to an extreme situation, which is the tone of the film's premise: love and hate in death. Moreover, the death of the mourner in this film is more extreme, and he is not concerned with normal death, but with abnormal death, so his mourning ceremony is more outdoor or even in the suburbs. Because unnatural death is more clearly related to the issue of love and hate, the story of this kind of death can better enable the viewer to understand the attitude and method of facing love and hate in life.
Me and Earl and the Dying Girl (2015) was a 2015 highly acclaimed American film. The reason for this, in addition to the technical aspects of the film is commendable, and the reason why it cleverly pays tribute to the classics and thus captures the hearts of many fans, the most important point is that it tells a story of youth that is not conventional. Of course, as far as this film is concerned, "unconventional" does not mean how bizarre the story itself is, but that the narrator of the story setting is an unconventional "me" - Gregory, the male number one in this film. Greg was a high school senior who was sociable—he could make himself a member of any student circle, but he was self-enclosed by nature—unwilling to be anyone's friend, even to his nemesis Earl, whom he was known as a "colleague." The plot is extremely simple, and it can be summed up in one sentence, that is, Greg was asked by his parents to help Rachel, a female classmate with leukemia. In terms of these elements—youth, a terminally ill female classmate, help—it may be the story of Greg who develops love in the process of helping Rachel and does what he can to save her, however, this story does not conform to the audience's cliché thinking, "I" reminds the audience several times in the film that this is not a romantic love story, and the surprising thing is that "I", who was supposed to be a helper, became a rescued character.
《溜的沙耶》(トワイライト ささらさや ,2014)。 This film is to show and remind those who form part of our happiness in life, father-son love, mother-son love, and neighborhood love that are not like family affection by letting the male protagonist Yutaro die without leaving this extreme situation. If someone doubts the other's feelings because they quarrel with their other half, then he may be inspired to watch this film.
