A person's life is only as good as who is in charge of his or her own life. People who are truly in control of their own lives will naturally not be bothered by all kinds of things they encounter in life, and even if they are troubled, there is a limit. However, the root of most of our troubles lies in the fact that we cannot smoothly dissolve all the things we have experienced in life, and in the long run, we will always be trapped by memories, and people who are obsessed with the past cannot have the future, but it is really difficult to do it.
The film "Summer Interlude" recommended to you today is a movie about forgetting the unpleasantness of the past. Ballet dancer Mary met a man named Henrik one summer ten years ago, and the two fell in love during the long summer, and got along very happily, Henrik was sometimes depressed, he was very worried that he would be separated from Mary after the summer, but Mary never worried about these unknown futures. As the summer drew to a close, Henrik had an accident and injured his back, and Henrik made his own choice.
The summer of ten years ago had a great impact on Mary, so much so that she had to remind herself from time to time that something had passed, but Mary still couldn't get out of the annoyance of this influence in life, she could only recall her past over and over again, and then let herself be depressed all day long. Mary's current boyfriend knows what this means to Mary, but he is not Mary after all, and he can't help Mary get out of these shadows, and the only one who can save Mary is herself.
"Summer Interlude" is like a sketch, this film uses flashbacks and interludes to completely present a person's memories and the impact of memories on this person for the audience. As mentioned above, for Mary, although the past has passed, the influence of the past often accompanies the present and even the future self, which is the crux of the inextricable problem, but at the end of this film, Mary still uses her familiar way to free herself, which is very revealing.
In the face of the past, not everyone can face it well, but whether you want to or not, the past is the past, and the past cannot become the present, let alone dominate the future. The only thing we can do about what has happened is to remember the impact of this event and not let it dictate your life. But for most people, letting the past dictate their lives is commonplace, and we can't understand what this influence brings to a person. But what we see is Mary's painful struggle in life, even though she already has a boyfriend, she still can't free herself from the shadow of the past and face the sun again.
Mary's past is painful, this is the same as most people dwelling on the shadow of the past, the good past will naturally have a positive meaning for real life, therefore, what we need is to have the ability to liberate those who are not very good in the past, and it is precisely these not very good past, for most people, but it has become the source of pain in life, with these roots, our life is not always happy.
Life is a challenge for everyone, and it is an unknown challenge, because we cannot know what our future life will be like, so when we face the future, there will always be pessimism and optimism. But it's clear that optimism doesn't mean that you want to be optimistic to make your life optimistic. It is precisely because of the existence of this reality that pessimism has become the only thing that is certain, and compared to the uncertainty of optimism, pessimism can at least be controlled by oneself, so pessimism has become an inevitability.
It's like the formation of good things sometimes requires luck, but the formation of bad things or when a thing is slowly led to the worst outcome, this is something that everyone can control, we can't be lucky, but we can make ourselves the worst, which almost doesn't cost any energy, so many times, pessimism is an inevitability.
Mary may not realize the inevitability of pessimism, but she still yearns for a better life, so she chooses to save herself from the shadow of the past, and finally succeeds, which is also to tell more people what the essence of life is.
How much does the past mean to a person, and what do we need to do in the present when something is in the past? It may be that when we are not participants in the story, calm judgment can be made by anyone, but when we are involved, calm judgment is not easy to appear.
Coming out of the past is not something that others can help you, in the end, you have to find a way out of your own grief, and only after you realize that you have learned from the past will life give you another option for you to choose. Mary finally gave her diary to her boyfriend, and she took the initiative to show her past to others, which has fully demonstrated that she wants to reconcile with her past, which is a small step of progress, which is positive, because the person who saves herself can be saved in the end.
