never ending sense of emptiness

Although the label is a love movie, the story is not only about love, it shows me the never-ending sense of emptiness, the maddening sense of emptiness, choking people in the invisible, dignified and unable to breathe.

The weak narration at the beginning of the film and the strong contrasting pictures make people feel profound. In this big world, all kinds of people, all kinds of occupations, all kinds of food, all kinds of diseases...Everything is unique, but it is the same No matter what, you can never escape the sense of emptiness and loneliness shrouded in your heart, and they torment you from time to time.

So, people start to go crazy: at a certain moment, you smell a certain smell, which reminds you of beautiful things or people; and then people cry without warning, which is sad and miserable. Because you know that even if you cry all the tears, those things you miss will never come back, and you are still alone against the nothingness that fills the whole world.

Then, you meet someone who understands you and understands you. It's only natural that you're together, hugging, walking, and having sex, but when you wake up and face the bright sun, you still feel empty. The emptiness that cannot be filled, books cannot fill, work cannot fill, love cannot fill. You will find that such a negative, meaningless life is a waste no matter how you spend it.

Your sense of smell is no longer sensitive, your sense of taste is no longer sensitive, your hearing is no longer sensitive, your vision is no longer sensitive, the whole person and the entire population are living in this numbness instead of living on this planet.

It's a sad thing, but it's true: life is meaningless.
You have to remember and forget one thing at the same time, life is meaningless; you just have to live, eat the food you like, wear the clothes you like, spray the perfume you like, and do the job you want , go where you want to go, love who you want to love. You just live as you wish without affecting others. Your five senses should be sensitive to touch and hear the world. Forget the so-called meaning of life, don't try to find it, don't question it.
To live is to be meaningful.
