There are some plots that can only be empathized with if you have experienced them,
There are some movies that may only be understood by adults.
What I'm going to share today is,
5 movies that only adults can really understand.
01 "The Bicycle Thief"
Director: Vittorio De Sica
Douban: 9.1
This pinnacle of Italian realism,
It's shocking and heart-wrenching.
Because it's nakedly revealed,
A middle-aged man with the burden of a family, embarrassed and desperate.
Richie finally got a new job after being unemployed for a long time.
He traded all his possessions for a work tool – a bicycle.
But on the first day of work, the bicycle was stolen.
The last straw that the family relied on for their livelihood disappeared like this,
Cornered, Richie stole another bicycle by magic,
As a result, he was caught red-handed......
For a moment, shame, humiliation, and despair all came to Richie.
With nowhere to vent, he could only slap his eight-year-old son next to him......
If you are an adult who is also burdened, you may be able to empathize,
That slap not only hurt the child,
also shattered the proud image of a father and the last dignity of an ordinary person at the bottom.

02 "Manchester by the Sea"
Director: Kenneth Lonergan
Douban: 8.6
I have heard it more than once that no matter how great the pain is, it will fade with time.
The film says: Not everyone can reconcile with the past.
Lee is a walking dead repairman,
The look of eternal mourning hides the past that he does not want to recall.
When the news of my brother's death came,
Lee had to return to his hometown - Manchester by the sea.
And in this homeland, waiting for Li's,
Not only the aftermath of my brother, but also the nephew who needs to be taken care of,
There is also a past incident that broke Lee's heart in despair.
Many years ago, because of Lee's careless negligence, three children were killed in the fire.
From then on, Lee locked himself in the shackles of pain and carried himself forward......
His ex-wife, who had remarried and was pregnant, advised him to "look forward",
"My heart is broken, and it will never heal," Lee said. ”
This scene can be called one of the biggest tears in film history.
It turned out that there was some pain, but I couldn't get over it.
And this kind of pain, I'm afraid only adults understand.

03 "In the Clouds"
Director: Jason Reitman
Douban: 7.9
The genre labels of this film on Douban are, comedy and love,
But what you see in the film is,
All sentient beings are suffering, and the methods of suffering are different.
The story takes place in the context of the financial crisis and the massive layoffs,
The main character, Ryan, is a layoff expert,
Layoffs are made every day across the country.
During the flight, Ryan meets Alex, a strong woman......
It's a nice love story prologue,
But the story outside of love is constantly sighing.
Those who were laid off at the negotiating table with Ryan,
Some of their daughters are sick and unable to continue treatment.
Some of them will lose their residence if they break their mortgage at any time.
Some have worked hard for decades, but it only took more than ten minutes to be laid off......
Maybe Ryan was impassioned when he painted them with his dreams,
But no longer blind adults are well aware,
Dreams can't fill empty checks.
As an ordinary person, all you can do is
Do your best, do your best, and get on with your life.

04 "The Next So-hee"
Director: Julie Cheng
Douban: 8.3
This is a story based on reality, and its protagonists are,
Young people who want to run towards a bright future, but the workplace is destroyed!
Fresh graduate Suxi was arranged to intern in the "big factory", in a square inch large cubicle,
With an emotionless tone, he retains customers with words that he knows by heart.
The person on the other end of the phone may be abusive, sexually harassed,
And Su Xi can only endure it silently and accept it all.
Because, KPIs are everything!
Later, So-hee completely withered in performance, KPIs, and overtime.
The policewoman You-jin tries to find the truth about So-hee's death,
But I saw the cruel reality of the workplace and sharp social contradictions.
Parents say they are just exhorting their daughter to cherish the job opportunity;
The company said that employees felt that it was too hard and could resign directly;
The school said that students being fired by companies would bring shame to the school.
No one wants to take responsibility for the death of a small employee in a big company.
As the sun rises, the living employees will continue to chase KPIs......
It's so real that it's cruel, it's sad and heart-wrenching to watch,
I sincerely hope that there will not be another Suhee in this world!
05 "The Thief of Time"
Director: Luo Qirui
Douban: 8.7
There is no such thing as an easy life for adults.
And "The Thief of Time" can always give people the courage to continue living.
The protagonists of the story are the shoemaker's family, who live at the end of Wynn Street.
Mr. Luo, the shoemaker, is diligent and introverted, and his wife is optimistic and housekeeping.
The eldest son is sunny and motivated, and the younger son is innocent and cute.
Although the family is struggling to get by,
But they can always look at each other and smile when they look at each other.
However, there are unforeseen storms in the sky, a sudden typhoon,
Destroying their homes and adding to the misery of poor families.
But after grief,
They will still try to get through it and live their lives.
Always remember what Mrs. Luo said,
Life is one step difficult, one step better; One step better, one step harder.
As long as you have undying hope in your heart, you can live a long life!
It's like, a typhoon can't blow away the roof that the Luo family and his wife grabbed,
Doom, it can't crush the hearts of tenacious people.
