Every time I go to KTV, I must order Laolang
"I want to sing to you
While you are young now
Let the flowers bloom
Decorate your years and my branches"
; So much so that I was complained by Zhang Jiefan's female colleagues that I was from the previous generation, and I ordered some old songs, and few new fresh meat people knew.
Back to movies.
Mr. Watanabe has worked in the city hall for 30 years. In order to keep the position of the chief of the Citizens Section, everything is not the best nor the worst. It will not be devalued or appreciated, just like the government. A screw in the organization has guarded his position for 30 years. As the narrator said, such 30 years are not living, and Mr. Watanabe did not really live until he found out that he was suffering from stomach cancer. , so the nickname mummy given to him by the female colleague is also appropriate, the male protagonist stunned his stiff and somewhat terrifying mummy expression, and his speechless appearance is not only his female colleague, sitting on the screen I can't stand the front.
Since Mr. Watanabe's detection of stomach cancer, the director raised the first question through the doctor's mouth: what would you do if you knew that you only had the second half of life left?
The young male doctor bowed his head silently, and the female nurse replied, "There is poison on the shelf." I think, different audiences have their own different answers.
At the beginning of the film, the plot of a citizen's complaint more intuitively shows the phenomenon of kicking the ball in the government system, pushing it from one department to another, going down in a circle, and returning to the original point.
Why does this phenomenon occur? Just as the staff of various departments said at the funeral, each department has different interests and demands, and everyone is used to sticking to their own one-third of an acre of land, and is unwilling to see others intervene or share. A piece of the pie. Usually, when you encounter trouble, everyone avoids it, for fear of making a fuss, and when you encounter something good, you want to get a little bit of light, for fear that you will not be able to occupy a place one step later. In other words, this phenomenon is now commonplace).
Mr. Watanabe was in such an environment. The director deliberately gave him a close-up of the "Promotion of Office Efficiency Plan" in his drawer. It is conceivable that this shabby plan shows that Mr. Watanabe was full of enthusiasm when he was young. It seems that he has made a career or made some achievements, and then he has torn off the paper of the plan and wiped the pen for the reasons mentioned above. The environment has polished his edges and corners. One, at this point, he does it very successfully. It's like a person who can take a ninety-point test deliberately allows himself to pass a sixty-point test, which also requires skill.
The diagnosis of gastric cancer broke Mr. Watanabe's 30-year peaceful life, and also caused him to fail to set a record of not asking for leave for 30 years. (It's a bit scary). His brain, which had been sleeping for 30 years, woke up now, but just now When he woke up, he was very confused. He began to think about the meaning of life, and tried to get others to teach him the answer. The money he had liked all his life may have been spent all his life, and he was not reconciled!! So he followed the young novelist he met in the tavern to experience it. A different life, feasting and feasting, and being drunk with money, he later found out that this was not the answer he wanted. At the noisy dance party, young people played the piano and danced, and he couldn't help singing the old song of the 1920s: "Life is so short.
Girls, let's fall in love" (reminds me of another movie "Spring Night is Short, Girls Move Forward")
The female colleague decided to resign because she did not want to waste her life in the city hall. At the same time, she was so healthy and full of energy. His family and even the female colleague himself misunderstood him, thinking that he was having a second spring, but he did not want to Falling in love with a female colleague, but trying to live the vitality of life, trying to live with meaning in the last few months of life. Of course, how to live? Is it meaningful? There is no standard answer. He saw the answer on his colleague's doll. He finally realized that doing his job well was also meaningful to him.
"I've heard all the truths, but I still don't have a good life"
For example, situations like Mr. Watanabe are not uncommon, we always learn to cherish after we have lost. Is Mr. Watanabe afraid of death? He is not afraid of death, but after learning that he has stomach cancer, he said, "I can't "Death", even if the years before him are in vain, and there are still a few months of life left, he doesn't want to die just doing nothing, at least not until he gives himself the meaning of being alive.
I have written a poem many times before that I don’t remember where I saw it:
"He lives as if he were dead
He died as if he never lived."
Mr. Watanabe doesn't want to wave his sleeves and leave this world quietly, he always wants to leave something in this world, enough to prove that he lived. For example, he took the lead in coordinating various departments to build a park together.
Human nature is like this, I always want to leave a mark to prove that I have been here. Sun Wukong drenched in the hand of the Tathagata and wrote this, and this trip made a bad start. Domestic tourists followed suit in various scenic spots and wrote (engraved) XXX's visit here can be regarded as leaving a stain on his life, of course, from a certain perspective, it can also be said that he/she has lived.
In the old days, Wang Xietang, Qianyan, has now flown into the homes of ordinary people, and the princes and generals will eventually turn into a handful of loess. This does not deny the possibility that ordinary people have lived and even lived their own meanings. sex.
I wonder, when we get old and look back on our lives, will there be at least a moment where we can feel that we have not lived in vain?
End with the next paragraph of "Want to Sing Me to You".
"Who can replace you
Love while you are young
dearest person
Let's be together for a long way."
