Either live well or die quickly

Thinking about life - "either live well or die quickly",
many people only know what it means to live well when they are dying, and many people still don't know when they die...
I can't help asking myself, how do I want to live? ? Um, yes, yes. right. I want to live a meaningful life like Watanabe...
Oh, I don't believe in myself anymore, so is there still trust between people in this society? However, being suspicious of others all day long and living with eighteen hearts will only make life more tiring... I just hope that I can retain the most basic trust between people, "Don't wear leggings, start with me, everyone has I
can only say that I am not afraid of death, we are a nation that is not afraid of death, what is so scary about death? It's hard to live, and you've worked hard for a lifetime in the big social machine, and you're dying to understand the big truth?
It is better to go home and sell sweet potatoes when an official does not decide for the people. In the film, it is not selling sweet potatoes, but through the female staff of the Citizens Section, she quit her job and went to a toy factory to be a front-line worker satirically while working an hour a day. After all, front-line workers are contributing to the society every minute and second. ...So the vast number of front-line workers, farmers and friends, thousands of workers who use their hands to do a day's work a day, and even work overtime for a day and a half can be relieved...
In the final analysis, life still needs to be positive and dedicated, so that every screw and every part of the big social machine can function with due diligence. The real front-line "screw" is urged to do it by leaders, and if you don't work hard, you will have no food. However, the responsibility of some "leaders" is to fight to the death with the poor "screw"? Do we need leaders like "Watanabe" in the film who are not late for 30 years? What we need, of course, are wonderful leaders who want to make people live in the last six months. However, people do not live in a vacuum. Watanabe said, "Make up your mind to do it"... If you change yourself, it will affect the people around you and use your rights for the people. Do things, the people benefit, and those who gain must have losers. Touching other people's cakes is no fun. If it weren't for "death is imminent", a section chief of the Citizens Section would dare to contradict the deputy mayor and despise the underworld? It’s not that we don’t understand how to live in our hearts. Everyone has a “good self” and a “bad self” in their hearts all the time arguing about how to maximize their own vested interests. Guarantee yourself first, and then influence others. . At the end of the film, the clerk who rose up and overturned the chair, if he was given the prime ministership of Japan immediately, would he silently raise the chair and sit down? However, when he is prime minister, he only pays attention to such trivial matters as clogged sewers and building a small park, and he will become inactive again.
As much as the ability is, so is the responsibility, as is the position, so is the responsibility. I hope that every screw, every chip, and every processor in the big social machine can do what it should do...
not to mention, I want I have restarted my life... Oh, the restart failed, sorry, I will continue to restart tomorrow...



Restart until death (¬_¬)

    This Kurosawa Akira movie not only criticizes officialdom, but also reflects on life. The officials who have not changed at the end appear more hypocritical and make the story more ironic. 4.5

    Several reversals have blacked out government functions. Only cancer can save the world. How sad. The narrative structure is first-rate, and the characterization is too dramatic and not natural enough.

Ikiru quotes

  • Narrator: The best way to protect your place in this world is to do nothing at all. But is this enough? Is this really enough?

  • Sub-Section Chief Ono: Sir, I'm not sure that's possible.
