"I Am Blake": Why Live?
Liu Qiang loves movies
"I Am Blake" really shocked me.
The story of the film feels very ordinary. Blake, a widowed old man at the bottom of society, and a single mother, Katie, help each other to tide over the difficulties. There are many movies that reflect the life of people at the bottom, from Chaplin's "Finding a Son and Meeting Immortals" to De Sica's "Bicycle Thief" and "Tears of the Wind", and then to Imamura Shohei's "Insects of Japan", the first two days. Wrote Ray's "Metropolis", and Majid Majidi's "Little Shoes", to the current Darney Brothers, Ceylon, etc. There are many masterpieces that are famous in the history of photography, how can we make new ideas? ?
In the above-mentioned films, we can see the protagonist's struggle and struggle with the hard life, as well as the pain, powerlessness, persistence, and warmth in the process. These are all found in "I Am Black", as a film standing on the shoulders of giants The new film, which also takes a big step forward, explores why there is resistance and struggle.
Life is cruel, even more so for those living at the bottom of society. Blake has been taking care of his mentally ill wife. When his wife died, he had a heart attack. He was unable to work, and had many obstacles to receiving assistance. The hardships and hardships, the film gave a very precise performance. I'm not spoiling any spoilers, but I'm sure you'll be as heartbroken as I am when you see a more realistic and powerful scene that isn't a sellout.
It's so hard, why don't they give up? Like dying?
In biology, this question is easy to answer. The desire to survive is human instinct. But people are not just creatures after all, otherwise no one would choose to commit suicide. To really answer this question, we have to speak from a sociological point of view, which is also the theme of the film - "I want to give happiness to others".
When his wife was there, no matter how difficult life was, Blake had to persevere, because he had to take care of his wife. After meeting Katie, Blake still did not give up his desire to survive, because he wanted to take care of Katie and help her life on the right track. ; As a mother, Katie's strength is better understood. For the happiness of her children, she can endure any hardships and sins. The film shows suffering, but is not swallowed up by suffering. The reason is that the values of the hero and heroine have been realized. With the help of Blake, Katie has survived the darkest days of her life, and Katie has finally repaid Blake and gave him precious With support, they became each other's closest "comrades-in-arms".
Is it really that important to make others happy?
Really important because it is the highest expression of human dignity. If a person cannot maintain his own existence, he has no dignity; if he can only maintain his own existence, then he has only the most basic dignity, which is fragile and cheap; Giving others happiness, his value will be revealed, his dignity will be truly stretched, and he will have the strongest desire to live when he is respected and respected by others. It has nothing to do with a person's wealth or achievements. Therefore, the end of the film is not a dark, negative, desperate ending. On the contrary, I saw a real hero who will be remembered by people - even if only a few people - step onto the altar!
To live a day is to shine a day!
