I heard about this film for a long time, and I watched Akira Kurosawa's "Rashomon" a few days ago. This film is too long, more than two hours. This is the fifth time I've watched it, and I finally watched it. I have always felt that watching a movie requires a state of mind in order to experience it with my whole body.
I myself have no strong desire to live.
An old man with stomach cancer died with his partner thirty years ago. Keep restraining yourself, keep obeying the system, keep working hard to be a robot that numbs itself. Use work to numb yourself. He has a son, a son who listens to his daughter-in-law, a son who never understands his father, and can't say that his son is trash. It is difficult to maintain a father-son relationship like a friend. For thirty years, he has lived for his son. When drinking with the novelist, he said, "I've never spent money on expensive wine like this." In the end, I finally took my 50,000 yuan to do things that I had never done before, to experience.
When he met the novelist, he gave him sleeping pills. His life is not good at all, he is already a person who has stepped into the underworld. He rationally told him to live, but emotionally he told him that he had died. He doesn't go to work anymore, he doesn't hit the clock as a monk for a day. He is going to find the joy of his life. He is going to love, to seek. Life is so short, girls hurry up and fall in love.
A little girl went to him to get his stamp. A little girl who was dissatisfied with the boring system life decided to resign. She said, "I don't dare to think about being here for 30 years." He saw the inexhaustible vitality of the little girl, as if he had found a fresh life in the desert. Seeing that the little girl's socks were rotten, I took the initiative to buy her socks, play with her, and dine with her. The girl enjoyed a good life from him, and he got a reborn life from the girl.
Meet girls constantly. His life lit a light. The girl seemed tired of his lukewarm bribery life, and no longer wanted to accept these warm invitations. Under his last invitation and with a pity, he agreed to this invitation.
He would not have thought that this last meeting would be the beginning of his life. He told the girl all his troubles secretly complaining. He admits that he has been half-dead, admits his cowardice, his fear of life. The girl showed him a fluffy bunny. He asked the girl why you are so energetic, and I want that too, even if it's only for one day, or I'll die. He suddenly thought about it, I can do some things at work when I have time.
He ran down the stairs, looked at the crowd rushing down and said happy birthday. He got a second life. Begin to do, to live, to become a person who coexists with spirit and body. There was light in his eyes, his limbs were weak but full of energy, and the people around him were still talking about him, but he said I wasn't afraid, I wasn't angry, I didn't have time for this. The twilight he saw was better than the ones we saw, and he knew he had no time to worry about wasting time.
He went to convert a stinky ditch into a small garden. He benefited the villagers. Bring happiness to the villagers. There is no definition of how great a person is. Just like on the barrage: the greatness and insignificance of human beings are only a few things. After his death, the family talked about his life, his character, his behavior, his actions, to explore him, and to criticize and praise him. A group of people celebrating with their crowns. When we watch a movie, we will realize that the group of people sitting in front of the wake to eat are a group of idiots, but in real life, there are many such people, and sometimes they are even forced to be a group of melon eaters.
What is living. This would have been a pointless question. When you think you are alive, you are truly alive. The ultimate question for these universes. No solution.
Alive, what a mocking word! I always thought that death was too early, when it really came, it turned out that this life was a waste of life!
