I have heard that the movie "Spiritual Journey" is moving and very healing, and it turns out that it is indeed so.
The warm-colored human world and the cool-colored hell become a sharp contrast, and behind the lively and flexible character settings is a deeper Australian life principle.
Each of us can find our own shadow in George and No. 22, and many people may fight for a dream like George, thinking that as long as one goal is completed, life will be complete, and the whole life can be full of meaning.
Many people may have doubted themselves at one time like No. 22, as if they could not do anything well, or even rejected the world, wanting to escape and hide.
I like george after the successful performance, his idol and he said a passage: a small fish wants to find the vast ocean, the small fish says to the old fish I must find the ocean, the old fish says you are in the ocean. The little fish said it was water and I was going to find the ocean.
Sometimes we always think that "ocean" is the meaning of life, think that achieving a certain goal can make people feel happy, but may ignore the happiness around us like a small fish, may be a leaf that occasionally falls when looking up, may be a pizza when hungry, may be a warm pot of boiling water at home in winter, etc. These insignificant little things are actually the happiness and happiness we can feel.

Like George and the little fish, many of us, like George, struggle with ideals and reality, one is the trivial skin of life, the other is the brilliance of the ideal, but sometimes we have to abandon the ideal and run to reality.
Many people are defeated by reality, give up life, give up their ideals, and live to become the fund manager in the movie, who needs to face three computers all day long, runs for life, and gradually loses himself and becomes a soulless puppet. In the end, the spirit of the spirit realm saved him, and his soul returned to real life and said that he wanted to live, to live well.
And George is the same, although he finally pursued his ideals, when he got a job as a full-time teacher, he still chose to go out to perform and find real music. But in the process of pursuing his ideals, he ignored some of the insignificant happiness in life.
The beautiful singing voice of the artists selling in the subway is not enough to make him move, but the 22nd can feel a different kind of warmth; the leaves falling in the sun when he looks up have made him feel accustomed, but the 22nd feels extremely wonderful; a simple pizza has made him feel that this is the daily life, but the 22nd thinks it is the most delicious food.
We miss a lot of the beauty in life, have only one goal in our eyes, and are kidnapped by the success science defined by the world, thinking that if we achieve this goal and live as successful as others think, our lives will be complete and will become extraordinary.
But many times, like George, even if we have achieved our long-awaited goals, we will eventually feel extremely lost: it is nothing more than that.
Just like I used to think that after the end of the college entrance examination, I would be particularly relaxed, but the afternoon after the college entrance examination was still extremely tired, and I was not particularly happy. I used to think that making a lot of money, buying a lot of houses, and having a lot of cars a year was a success, but when people around you abound, you will find that they are not so happy.

We are bound by the worldly idea that like 22, who has no goal and has not found the spark of life, is a loser, thinking that we cannot live as many people like, and that we are an undesirable person.
But it is not the case, we will still be touched by a delicious lunch, feel warm because of being with our families, feel warm because of a warm sunshine, and feel different because of a beautiful sight.
The beauty that is all around us in this way reminds us all the time: life is meaningless, and living is meaning.
As George says at the end of the film: I still don't know how to live this life, but I will enjoy every minute of living in the moment.
