What is the meaning of being alive?
Some people say that it is to pursue their dreams, some people say that it is to experience life, but I feel that the meaning of life lies in loving and being loved.
In the movie "A Man Named Ovie Decides to Die", Ove does not want to live because he has lost his lover, and because he feels that he is needed and loved, he sees the hope in life again, and his experience tells the world:
Loving and being loved is the meaning of a person's life.
Just by looking at the name, the movie "A Man Named Ovie Decided to Die" seems to give people a very pessimistic feeling, but people who have watched the whole movie will feel that it is very warm and healing.
This is the story of a lonely old man, after losing his lover, to find love again, originally because of despair to end the life of Ovie, but also because of the found the world's great love, and decided to live bravely.
Ovie's mother died early, and he grew up with his father, who worked on the railroad.
In Ovie's impression, the taciturn father only once showed his love to himself: that day, Ove was playing on the railway, a train was coming in the direction of Ovie, the father saw the situation, hurriedly and loudly urged Ovie to avoid, after Ovie avoided, the father hugged Ovie tightly, as if afraid of losing him.
That was the first time Ovie felt his father's love for himself, in order to make his father proud of himself, Ovie studied hard, and a few years later, when Ove handed over the report card to his father, his father was really happy.
When his father took Ovie's report card to show off to his co-workers, he did not want to, a speeding train took his father's life.
Losing his father's love, Ove became dull and passive, no longer motivated to live actively.
Young Ovie does not know what the meaning of human life is, when he feels his father's love for him, he takes it for granted that making his father proud is the meaning of his own life, and his father's love makes Ove become brave and strong.
However, when his father died unexpectedly, Ove found that the meaning of his life was gone, and he became pessimistic and negative.
Loving and being loved is the meaning of a person's life, and feeling loved can make a person become positive, lose the person he loves, and also make a person become pessimistic and negative.
After losing his father's love, the Ovi family's house was burned down by a fire, and he could only rest on the train every day.
In a chance encounter on a train, Ove meets a woman who moves him, his future wife.
The beautiful love allowed Ovie to regain the courage to live, but at that time, Ovie, who was penniless, was inferior in the face of love.
Once, he invited the girl to dinner, but only ordered a meal for the girl, and when the girl asked him why he didn't order food, Ovie said, "I've already eaten."
Under the girl's questioning, Ovie finally said that his home was burned down, he was penniless, Ovie thought that the girl would dislike him, so he wanted to turn around and leave, unexpectedly, the girl was touched by his sincerity, not only did not dislike him, but also kissed him.
The beautiful love made Ovie rediscover the meaning of life, and he decided to work hard for his wife.
However, the death of his wife caused Ovi to be devastated, and Ove once again lost hope in life, at which point he decided to end his life.
Love is the meaning of a person's life, but also a person's motivation to live, for Ovi, the wife is all he has, when the wife is alive, there are still people he loves in this world, worthy of his nostalgia, when the wife dies, he will no longer have the courage to live.
People should have something to rely on and rely on in life, and this dependence is the person who loves us, the person we love, if there is no love in this world, life has no meaning.
Ovey, a lonely old man, decides to leave this world after losing his wife.
What he did not expect was that every time he wanted to leave this world, his plans were disrupted by the help of outsiders.
The first time, when Ovie wanted to end his life, he met a neighbor who would not stop; the second time, when Ovie wanted to end his life, he saw a child outside the window; the third time, when Ovie wanted to end his life, he met a neighbor to borrow a ladder...
At first, Ovie was overwhelmed by the neighbor's disturbance, but then Ove found that he felt the feeling of being needed in the neighbor, and he felt that the neighbors actually loved him.
Ovie no longer wanted to die, and he decided to be a warm person who could help others.
The Austrian psychologist Adler, in his book Inferiority and Transcendence, has this view:
The embodiment of a person's own value is to see what he has contributed to society, and only his own contribution, recognized by society, can he transcend inferiority.
The reason why Ovie regained the courage to live is because of his dedication and love for his neighbors, he got feedback from his neighbors' love, and he found the meaning of life in his love.
"A Man Named Ovie Decides to Die" is a very warm and healing movie that tells us the meaning of living, which is to love and be loved.
Love is a grand word, we not only love the people around us, but also to love the world, only in this way, can we do positive energy for the social benefit, we will also be because of the love for the world, and get the world's love in return.
