On March 6, I watched two films in one day, "Admission Notice" and "Bucket List".
Coincidentally, the ages reflected in the two films happen to be at the two ends of life, one is a young man in college, and the other is an old age on the verge of death.
A group of young people with poor grades are not accepted by traditional universities. At first, it may be to prevaricate their parents and start a university on their own. However, the evolution of the situation is beyond control. Mongolia has become a free, open and interactive university, where students are teachers, teachers are students, students learn from each other, and develop various comprehensive abilities in communicating with their peers.
Two elderly people suffering from serious illness met in a ward. Because of the difference in class, the two didn't care about each other at first, but later they were probably sympathetic to each other. The communication between the two increased. Not more than a year later, the two were first depressed and even desperate, but by chance, the rich man picked up Ray's "bucket list", which was his unfulfilled wish. The rich man was touched by this and decided to invite Ray, and the two spent the remaining few years to complete a common bucket list. After some ideological struggles and arguments with his wife, Ray accepted the invitation.
Ray's early dream was to become a history professor, but because he had a child too early, he needed to take on family responsibilities. He failed to complete his studies and became an auto mechanic for 45 years. The ambitions of his youth were gradually wiped out with the passage of time. Even if it was not wiped out, the resistance of reality and the responsibility of being a man prevented him from abandoning his family to pursue the most authentic ideals.
The two traveled around the world, chatted happily on the top of the pyramid, wandered around the base camp of Mount Everest, rode motorcycles on the Great Wall, and found the lost beauty in new experiences again and again.
The two films can be interpreted from many angles, but for me, the most important thing they have in common is to break the routine and pursue what you really want. But the problem comes one after another, where to know this "really wanted", and where to perceive it. I think this can be linked to another film - "Mr. Good".
The protagonist in this film is a financial man who refuses to communicate with the outside world. By chance, he came into contact with an activity called "YES", which is to answer any question with "YES". At first, he did a lot of embarrassing things because he kept saying YES, but later the person in charge of the event told him that YES is actually an attitude, in order to make you brave to face the challenges and possible opportunities in life. Although it is a bit stupid to say YES all the time, in daily life, there will not be too bad things (such as being robbed, being used all the time), so at the beginning, say YES boldly, when you get a certain experience After that, you should be able to make a reasonable choice between "YES" or "NO". It's a surefire way to discover what you "really want", I think. Because only after you have experienced enough, can you appreciate the scenery of the four seasons, experience different lives, and meet different people, and all of this is likely to hide the career and things you love.
