empty shell

The 1998 film is very old. I knew the very simple plot for a long time, and I didn't have any interest in watching it. Such vulgar romance routines, I have never bought it. Even now the tears seem to be getting lower and lower.

An angel in black roams every corner of the city, meaningless past, meaningless future, eternity. Therefore, apart from the regular job of taking away dying people, they are collectively bored to the point of peeping at what other people are reading, what they like most, how their work and life are, and rubbing their salty pig hands secretly from time to time to touch others, which is really not angelic.

Whenever I see Uncle Cage staring at the sweet girl with a sullen expression and soft words, but the thick and ferocious chest hair is gushing out under the low-neck black T-shirt, I can't help but act. Many people say that staring is affectionate, and the girl pig understands it too. She claims to be lost in the angel's deep gaze looking directly into the depths of her soul after the first meeting, but why do I always feel that it is because I haven't slept well or I haven't eaten enough look.

The plot shows that Uncle Angel fell in love with Bunny because she seemed to see his existence, and she was so beautiful that she cried so lovingly, while Piglet fell in love with Uncle Angel because of his just the right comfort and understanding, and maybe a little more The mysterious atmosphere that comes and goes. However, the existence of this kind of fit is based on the special ability of angels. Can it be understood without mind reading? When the uncle who has no experience of living in this world is facing Yali who needs to work and earn money to learn a lot of life skills when he becomes a mortal, does he still have extra energy to comfort his lover? The two people haven't explained and reviewed each other's three views, so they get together in such a confused way, is this really good? It must be that the screenwriter also felt unreliable, so after a night of tenderness and sweetness, it came to an abrupt end. Perhaps it is far better to let external forces destroy the most beautiful things than to watch the beautiful things rot and do nothing, so that there is no need to comprehend so much. It's just such a feeling, like a beautiful empty shell. Thinking of what San Mao said, if love is not implemented in such things as eating, sleeping, counting money and farting every day, it is empty. But the empty shell is fortunate that it is bloodless and fleshless, and it is easy to make a specimen of memory, without the bloody and painful pain of grinding in time.

The highlight is the fat old man who inspired Uncle Angel to use his free will to become a mortal. When he let the word Free will spit out of Uncle Cage's mouth, he knew that the brainwashing education of the US emperor was really persistent for many years, even romance movies. Well, is it better to be brainwashed into a pursuit of free will? What is the price of free will, good or bad can only depend on oneself, can not depend on others and cannot depend on society, so living in the celestial dynasty will be very tiring. Everyone is accustomed to thinking and living passively and submissively, ranging from national politics, society and culture, to personal work, marriage and love. How much courage does it take to exercise free will. Falling from the cloud to the ground, how painful it is, what if I fall and die.

I must have had outrageous stomach pains, and my brain was like a mush, and I didn't even know what I was ranting about. That's it, the soundtrack is good. As soon as the lyrics came out, I was silent. The composer must despise me, a big music blind who doesn't recognize the melody and the lyrics.

Spend all your time waiting for that second chance, For a break that would make it OK, There's always some reasons to feel not good enough...Memories seep from my veins, Let me be empty and weightless...

- Angel, Sarah Mclachlan

And I'd give up forever to touch you, Cause I know that you feel me somehow, You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be...And all I can taste is this moment, And sooner or later it's over, I just don't want to miss you tonight...

- Iris,
