We will end up being just like everyone else

I don’t know if it’s the wrong way to open it, or there’s something wrong with the movie itself. All the characters are dubbed by the same male voice. At first, I thought the movie might be a small production to reduce the budget, until I watched the whole movie. Just figured out what was going on! It turns out that the film tells more than just a story, but reflects the normal state of life. There is only one female voice character throughout the film, representing an angel in the world, because she is not polluted by human nature, let alone by the world. , she represents the purest moment in a person's life, but this moment will still be changed by the passage of time and constant interaction, and will be reduced to the same person as everyone else.

The film begins with an encounter where the hero of the film, Professor Stone, encounters a uniform male voice, whether it is his wife or children, which proves that in his world, all people are People of the same nature, whether adults or children, men and women, have been educated by the whole society to become the people he knows, the people in his books. Until a chance encounter, he heard a different voice in this world with only male voices, and this voice is the voice that distinguishes the male voice from the female voice, it is this voice that arouses his desire for this woman, No matter how ugly this woman is or what flaws she has, but that kind of thing that is separated from the depths of the mundane soul attracts him deeply. It is a symbol of innocence and beauty. For Professor Stone, he encountered is no longer a woman but an angel. So Professor Stone finally found a woman who is unique to him in this world, the relationship between the two people is also changing involuntarily, and this extramarital affair has become a matter of course, and can even be said to be destined by fate. It's a pity that God is always making jokes on people. When two people really come together, with the change of feelings and the passage of time, the original beautiful female voice has also vaguely turned into a male voice, and This kind of change makes people anxious, as if they have lost something very precious, and they return to a world with only one voice, and this world has long been a world that they are familiar with and tired of.

The story of the movie is very simple, it is an ordinary encounter, it seems to be a story of love at first sight, but the worldview mixed with this story is so subtle. Because this world is an adult world, especially for a psychology professor, he clearly understands how almost everyone's inner world thinks, and he is already tired of such slick and secular people, and in his heart only What I want is a plain and colorful world. As described in the movie, when there is only one voice in the world, different voices are so rare and precious to people. When they encounter other voices, they will definitely want to catch them desperately. It's just that when we have another voice, we find that this precious voice is disappearing little by little, and we can't do anything about this situation and it's hard to stop. This is definitely a fatal blow. Of course, the meaning of the movie is not like this, it has a deeper meaning, especially for an adult, the feeling of being bound by life, trying to escape but unable to break free, even if you want to change but find all Everything changes in the same direction unconsciously, and no matter how you turn it around, you can't turn it around, you can only make appointments. This kind of accusation of life through stories can only be understood by those who have experienced life. The unspeakable pain must be felt in everyone's heart.

Although the movie is an animation work, the characters in the image really bring us the most appropriate feelings, especially the simple and direct erotic scenes mixed in the movie, so that the relationship between the characters and the social rules are directly displayed. People sometimes need more respect for each other, rather than avoiding the unspoken rules behind people's ears. When people often want to open their hearts, they are hindered by the unspoken rules of life, so that they can understand what they really need in their hearts. And comfort has become the concealment and silence behind eroticism, and it is precisely this unspoken rule that makes the relationship between people more indifferent, and people become more and more lonely and lonely. Although Professor Stone finally got this woman who was different from others, he never let her really enter his heart, because when the voice of this woman slowly disappeared, he knew that the arrival of this woman did not come. The real change for him is more sad than the death of his heart. I think it is the situation that Professor Stone encountered. No one or anything can awaken the passion and sunshine in Professor Stone's heart. Everything he knew and sealed his soul.

The more you watch the movie, the more chilling you feel, and the more you think about it, the more you feel that there is no hope in life. The movie gives people a particularly negative feeling, especially the character image of Professor Stone's watch. Lonely people who walk in. The world he saw from his eyes and the world he heard from his ears were almost pale and single. It will become the same over time. This shows that everyone is not different, we will become the same kind of people after all, even if we are different at the beginning, life will always destroy us into the same appearance, I think this is also the expression of the movie. Where people feel most deeply.

This movie is a movie worthy of people's repeated appreciation and careful consideration. There are too many bottomless things under the simple plot story, including a series of things such as life, marriage, love, etc. It is very worthy of people's thinking, especially It is the people who have lived through the world who feel more deeply, because they can truly understand why people live alone? Yes, the longer we live, the more lonely we feel, because no one or something can enter our hearts, and there is nothing worthy of our attention, because nothing can escape our eyes. No one can stay the same, everything will change, and it will always become the kind of situation we know, no one can escape the fate of this life, because life is making us the same kind of people step by step, As a result, we become hopeless, passive, cover up everything in our hearts, and lead a lonely and lonely life.
