Unexpectedly, because of this movie, I want to write this text to mourn the people who died in the 5.12 Wenchuan earthquake.
What does it feel like to be trapped in one's own body and unable to move?
What does it feel like when a person is trapped in dead ruins and can't move?
Can you feel it?
Perhaps after watching this movie, you will be able to deeply appreciate the unspeakable siege and oppression, and you will be able to feel more deeply the tragic situation of people who are still buried in the rubble waiting to be rescued.
Unique perspective, blurred and jumping camera sense, clear and sometimes rapid breathing, the collision between the real picture and the inner description.
It is telling a misfortune.
However, it allows us to be there and see the rebirth of the butterfly out of its cocoon.
Bobby has such a confession.
[My body seems to be trapped in a heavy diving bell, tightly covered, so oppressed that I can hardly breathe, but my soul can fly around like a light butterfly, in the interweaving of time and space Soar freely. 】
Looking at this sentence, there are thousands of emotions in my heart. For Bobby, and for the thousands of innocent people who died and were injured in the Wenchuan earthquake.
Natural and man-made disasters are irresistible.
The sudden earthquake was like a heavy diving bell pressing on Wenchuan, on China, and on everyone's heart.
Do we have to willingly choose to suffer silently?
Bobby writes a book with his left eyelid.
A 56-year-old man survived under the rubble for 13 days during the earthquake in Iran.
A 27-year-old Pakistani youth survived after being buried in the rubble for 27 days in the South Asia earthquake.
In the Tangshan earthquake, five miners survived after being trapped in the mine for 15 days.
In the Wenchuan earthquake, a little girl who was reading a book with a flashlight in the rubble was finally rescued. The two girls had a life-and-death dialogue to drive away the god of death. The father dug out the buried son with his bare hands, and the kindergarten teacher rescued the child by blocking the cement board. The baby survived from the rubble after being trapped for 48 hours...
Those who are alive have proven the miracle of life time and time again.
Those dead souls turned into butterflies flying.
Soldiers on the front lines of disaster relief work day and night to rescue the trapped people one second earlier.
And those of us who are holding our hearts 24 hours a day can only light a candle that leads the way in our hearts.
May those who are alive live well. May the dead go well.
My body is trapped in ruins, but my soul is free to fly like a butterfly...
