When you're bored, people always want to find something to do, or change their lifestyle, just like many people travel, from one place where you are tired to another place that others are tired of. The purpose is to broaden your horizons or see a different landscape.
In fact, it is still a continuous cycle in life, and if you change only to change another place, then it is too easy to change, but in fact it is not. I always think that I can change my life by changing places, but in fact, life itself has not changed. Because you're always going to get bored.
The film recommended to you today belongs to this genre. The protagonist wants to have another life in another place, but such a story does not happen. Nothing has changed, it's just time.
"Life Visitor" is about a series of problems caused by the refugee problem, but the essence of it is the intersection of loneliness and life. A college professor who has been teaching the same course for 20 years has long been tired of such a life.
He always fought this life in various ways, but the results were not satisfactory. One day, he received an invitation to give a seminar, and the professor, who could not refuse, came to New York alone. When he arrived in New York, he found that another family was already living. After asking the reason, the professor asked the two illegal immigrant couples to come and live together. The boring life seems to have improved.
However, contrary to his wishes, the illegal immigrant man was caught while riding the subway, and the professor had no choice but to start the rescue trip. Later, the man's mother came to him, and several people began to find ways to help the man get out of prison, but the result backfired.
The film is ostensibly about a life related to refugees and the attitude of American society towards refugees. However, in fact, the focus of this film is a kind of isolation in the state of life. The professor is the epitome of loneliness in this state of life.
He lived alone, and after the death of his wife, his life became even more boring. Although he has a strong desire to communicate, he actually closes himself off and does not tell anyone. After a long time, the professor fell into his own small circle and could not extricate himself.
Life must be boring for the professor, because there is no end to this life, and as long as he is alive, he cannot get rid of it. That's why professors get tired of their homework and the work they do.
He thinks of anything to excuse himself, but there is always no way to take that step on his own initiative. This is a kind of dilemma in the professor's life, which seems to be calm and calm, but in fact, it is secretly turbulent, but there is always a layer of things between the two that cannot be broken. However, for immigrant couples, such a life barrier does not hinder their yearning for life.
This is some of the ideas implied in this film, such as the American dream that everyone is very familiar with, etc., couples are always full of a beautiful yearning for such a country, in this yearning, the most willing dream of immigrant groups is that the United States can one day accept them, accept their everything, and give them the possibility of a dream becoming a reality. However, such dreams will always be shattered and then ended.
The professor is tired of one life, he wants to experience another more exciting new life, so for illegal immigrants, the professor himself is not very repulsive, but with them, the professor will always unconsciously have a hope of life, thinking that it is a very interesting thing to play drums with others.
Maybe it's not necessarily about drumming, it can be something that any professor hasn't experienced before. What the professor needs is an outlet to do things that aren't so conformist in order to get some solace in his boring life.
However, the professor's illegal immigrant friend was arrested, but fortunately, the professor met his mother, who made the professor's life more promising.
He even had a feeling that illegal immigration was no longer important, what was important was that he could see the mother every day and so on. Such a woman who broke into her own life made the professor rekindle hope for life.
However, all this is short-lived, just as short as the good life of illegal immigrant couples, everything will always shine in the accident, and then gradually disappear in the night. The professor's life is still not a big wave, but all this cannot be as if it had not been.
Eventually, the professor continued his friend's simple wish and went to the New York subway station to start his own tambourine performance, which was a kind of venting and a summary of his previous life.
This film uses this wave of immigration to show us a life, a life that yearns for the unknown but is powerless to change the reality, illegal immigrants are like this, and so are professors.
They are suffering from the current situation of their lives but are powerless to change, always have good hopes for the future, but they watch everything fall short again and again.
Life is like this, when it is unchanged, we always expect change, but when change happens, it is a kind of accident for us. I feel that life is boring, and I always want to be stimulated, but after the stimulation, it is just a greater emptiness.
