When there was a power outage in the dormitory, I finally had the opportunity to slowly watch the movies stored on the computer one by one.
Extremely loud, extremely close to Extremely cloud and incredibly close
At the beginning, I only knew that it was one of the nominees for the best picture in the Academy Awards, and it was downloaded and stored in the computer for more than 2 years without opening the package. After that, I watched the introduction trailer on the premium channel at home. I liked the edited soundtrack very much. The disaster that destroyed so many families.
The soundtrack of the film has always had a sense of urgency and depression, perhaps this is the theme of the film. The boy Oscar has been chasing a key left in a vase in his father's wardrobe, constantly running according to clues, looking for the lock that may be paired with the key. This key is simply the key to unlocking a specific object, but from the structure of the whole story, it is a key to unlock all the hearts of people who are still immersed in the grief of "911".
Through the perspective of a young boy, the film shows the various grief people experienced after "911" and the stories of standing up again. Perhaps it is to help people who have experienced 10 years of pain to regain hope in their lives. The interlude of the whole film will constantly alternate back and forth between the reality and the grief of the past. When Oscar confronted the mysterious "tenant" at his grandmother's house, he almost kept telling the long-suppressed confusion and emotions in his heart. The emotions are intertwined, and the consequence is that, from this point on, I knew this film would not let go of the viewers' tears so easily.
In the dormitory at noon, all my roommates were sleeping. I was facing the computer by myself. I watched the film without fast-forwarding at all, and even finished listening to the subtitles at the end of the film. After I finished reading, my roommate almost woke up. I was listening and typing on the keyboard. The girl next to me was eating the potato chips I had just bought from the downstairs in my dream, while watching a Korean variety show. While laughing, "Aha!" The two girls on the opposite side were seriously doing their financial analysis homework, studying a lot of data and tables.
You say, life is all about finding something for everyone. You want to watch variety shows, you want to watch movies, you want to do your homework, that's fine, but everyone's difference lies in what follow-up actions you have after finishing the event. Although I still owe a big financial analysis homework and more than half of it has not been completed, I hope to watch a movie to relieve my stress, or in other words, let some happy endings that can be preset in the movie stimulate the feeling of oppression and stress. Desperate me. Although the reality is indeed much crueler than the movie, it is unimaginable to have a day without a beautiful fantasy.
After reading some people's comments on this film, I think this little boy is too selfish and thinks everything has to follow him, but I think this is exactly what a child should behave, plus he has always been like a big mountain in his heart The sudden death of an ordinary father has magnified various small problems in his daily life that could have been ignored for him. Besides, comedies and dramas such as movies are of course exaggerated. If the story is displayed too calmly, the audience will of course find it boring and unconvincing.
The biggest point of feeling about the film is that in the face of all kinds of sudden blows and misfortunes in life, we need a period of recovery, and we need someone to comfort us and accompany us through the most difficult times. And we ourselves should not choose to face it alone or to blame someone for the fault. The world is impermanent, and there is no reason to explain why those tragedies happen. If we insist on finding a reason, then there is only a key that is locked somewhere. Although the boy in the film finally knows what the key is to unlock, in fact, he has not found the keyhole that the key in his heart will eventually unlock. Perhaps only these unknowns are left to the sad memories of the past, and together with the locks that no keys can open, they sink into the ashes year after year.
Courage is really something you need at any time. The boy was always in fear after the blow. He didn't dare to take the subway, take the bus, or walk on the wooden bridge, because he was afraid that the tragedy would repeat itself. But the truth is, no matter how careful we are to avoid a crisis, some uncontrollable factor will always emerge. Instead of worrying about what has not happened, it is better to cherish the present and face the future.
I really want to live every day with my heart and do everything I can.
I envy Oscar for having a father like that, who played a crucial role in his enlightenment growing up. A father who constructs a new world for his child and creates the conditions to help him discover that world. Although in fact the world does not exist, I really admire such a process.
A family, two parents, has a really big impact on a child. It is really the luckiest and happiest thing to have a happy family and two parents who love me the most.
