"If you want to leave me, you can be separated from me; but I can't be separated from myself for the rest of my life."
If you put it on an ordinary couple, it's nothing profound.
It can be placed on this "depressed, manic, sleepy, sloppy" person, and it is very sad.
A woman who has no job, is escaping from society, has a bad temper, is average looking, full of problems, and everything is terrible, why is there a boyfriend who is willing to be with her, and for three years he is at peace and guarding her?
The title is the theme, and the plot is frank and nude.
"Only Love Can Keep Me Alive"
It belongs to a niche film that makes people feel a lot.
The story opens with a girl suffering from bipolar disorder who doesn't go out to work for several years and sleeps at home all day. Her boyfriend is a publishing editor who is busy and works overtime all day.
In the evening, I would bring two meals back, eat them together, and then repeat them, so boring life.
Say it is a couple, in fact, the lifestyle of the two is like a roommate.
Girls are grumpy and always lose their temper. Boys do not like to talk, they live in a room alone, boys basically stay in the company, eat at night, do not speak, only when the girl is out of control, the boy will have some mood swings to comfort her.
The girl's sister texted her to persuade her to go to work.
The girl tried, but missed the interview because she couldn't get up.
Then she thought about it for a moment, since she didn't work, she might as well try to cook for her boyfriend.
As a result, the meat was sold out, the onions were all broken, and the eggs were shattered because others bumped into them.
I thought this was bad luck, when I got home to prepare to cook, I forgot to buy important spices, sent a message to my boyfriend, and my boyfriend was relieved that no seasoning could be done.
This plot of buying vegetables, don't say girls, I see a little depressed.
A bunch of broken things added together, who isn't crazy?
But what was even more depressing was that she wanted to smoke and calm down, the lighter could not be hit, and the electric gate in the house jumped.
Well, I'm crazy, and the heroine in the movie starts howling and crying.
What a piece, not just a pair of bitter Mandarin ducks.
Next, a dramatic scene appeared.
The boy's ex-girlfriend is a paranoid, and she actually let the heroine, who has been sleeping all day, go to work in a café. Let the heroine not be doing rice worms, and board on men.
The heroine set three alarm clocks this time and climbed out of the garbage heap-like place to make contact with people.
The heroine's life has turned around, but the boy's life has begun to deteriorate.
He has been depressed for a long time, and he has long disliked the bad way that publishers do peach news for money, exaggerated reports that cause suicide.
When he resigned, he received a call from the heroine.
The girl ran like crazy, undressed, and the boy who rushed to the scene chased and picked up clothes.
This run, mournful and burning.
Perhaps, in the eyes of the naked people on the manic street, these acts are not shameful, and the deviant behavior is exciting, and finally liberated, naked like an animal, do whatever you want.
The couple, on the same day, took off their last masks.
Men are like an island, because they feel that they can't change anything around them, so they close their hearts.
And the girl because of bipolar disorder, like a hell of activity, constantly spraying venom and flames, hurting herself and annoying people.
In the hypocritical three-year cohabitation life, two patients have spent three years with poison.
Men treat the girl who expresses unhappiness as a stone thrown into the calm lake, watching the girl's illness collapse, so as to remind himself, don't look like this, and comfort the girl, as if to appease himself, in the publishing house to continue to endure.
And the girl, she has always envied the calm and gentle of the other half.
Life is a huge wound for some people.
A popular form of video sharing is now: Vlog
In addition to eating and drinking, handsome men and beautiful women, and getting rich, which look positive content, there is also a part of the "lost" crazy area.
Like what:
"A Day in the Basement of a Young Woman Living Alone", "Resigned for 3 years, no job, and today ate the hot pot two days ago." "Today, I want to leave Beijing, and I really can't hold on for five years." "The community supermarket salesman with a monthly salary of 2000 has no future and no girlfriend. 》
There are too many broken souls hidden in the city, and unemployment and illness can turn their lives gray.
Not only did poverty kill them, but urban disease.
In the movie "Only Love Can Make Me Survive", there are diseases.
The girl's collapse gave the two people a chance.
After living together for three years, they finally had a long conversation.
The girl looks madner than the boy, but there is a strong "desire to survive" in her madness, and she wants to get better, otherwise she will not agree to work under the humiliation of her ex-girlfriend, and try to integrate into society.
Moreover, every time she calls for help, she can pull the "silent man like a dead man" back to reality, and the man returns from the robot state to the state of a person to clean up the mess for the girl.
This is the strange way the couple gets along.
But far from being so superficial as ordinary love movies. Some Japanese films are good at cutting from seemingly eccentric themes to things that are deep in human nature and society, and some of them are usually covered up.
Because of the careful layout of the camera and the director, the audience seems to see the pain of being replayed, and see the sometimes scolded and pretentious self.
@Yes Ponytail: Walking out of that room and looking back, I can still empathize with those things, but I already know that I can leave the person who is myself.
@ Yi Yifeng: Because of the "soda" clicked, the big night to see the depression, at first a little can not see, to the end with the heroine to cry, perhaps because everyone is more or less as the heroine of the same nervous bar, eager to be understood and recognized, and afraid of being seen through their vulnerability, sometimes grumpy, sometimes lonely, sensitive and easy to be moved. I hope that a moment of despair can meet the soda that is inclusive and understandable, even if it is only for a moment, it can make people continue to live.
@Xi Yu Listen: People who feel bored show that your current psychology is very healthy. But people who know this feeling may immediately think of some hard time in the past.
@Bamboo Fanfan: There is a classmate who is also like this, every time he talks to me I don't know how to reply to him, many people around him want to be good to him but he is very much like this girl, people look very sad but don't know how to help him. And he is also depressed and manic, so he always hurts people who want to be good to him, and he really feels desperate when he looks at him.
Only when the heart is lost can there be resonance. The movie setting is not a dramatic exaggeration, this is the real life of some people, not even so lucky, there are people around to tolerate and listen to them, may be so disgusted with their own up and down all their lives, until drowning.
Fun Li, her own image is a young and tender sweet sister favored by Japanese aesthetics.
But in the movie, she performed the madness, perfectly portraying the nasty female characters who were going to die. There are not many lines, the emotions are in place, and a running strip scene makes the film reach its climax, but it is obviously boldly naked, but it cannot feel any lust, and some are just nervous and shocking.
For what it is like to act, the acting school Sugata Shosuke, in many of his plays, actresses are crushed by acting skills and turned into vases. However, in this movie, Quri's petite figure exudes a powerful aura, and even vaguely suppresses Sugata Shosuke in the second half of the performance. This is one of the few actresses who have a sense of drama with soda.
Fun And Soda played two "social patients". They often have a feeling of being "seen through". One is to keep your distance from your surroundings and be an outsider; one is toss yourself to the point of exhaustion and drive you crazy.
The scrap boy played by "Soda" belongs to the former. The boy's reticence had been suppressed.
"As soon as I see your calm attitude, I get angry, I pass on my emotions to you without reservation, but you are like nothing." 」
"I'm tired of myself, what do you like about me?"
The boy gradually calmed down in the girl's collapse, and he told the girl that he had actually lost control, not only resigned, but also threw the computer from the office building.
It was a sentence from the first meeting, and at that time, my heart was like electricity. You hit your head and run desperately. The blue skirt that runs up is really beautiful.
I want to see it all the time in the future.
Love is so unclear, unclear.
This strange Japanese answer makes the sick couple return home with grace and love.
"Meaningless, still in love for three years", pain and struggle did not separate them, this is not true love, what is it?
The peculiar thing about this movie is, first, that it sets depression not as an intellectual problem, that the depressed patient is self-help, and that another person is running away.
Second, people who take care of others are actually because of their own needs, just like raising cats and indulging all bad tempers of cats, they are using these cares to appease themselves.
If the girl had not collapsed naked on the roof, perhaps the man would have remained silent, or even because he was unemployed and did not want to talk to the girl, committing suicide or disappearing.
……
The film does not give a complete account of the fate of the characters, ending with "the heroine dancing naked on the night of the power trip", leaving blank space for the audience, just like the Korean film "Burning" watched last year.
Burning, lost to the point of confusion. This one, lost to the heartbreak. All worth a look.
