just smile

This poster doesn't match the style of the movie at all. The movie is a bit of a joke and a peculiar and a little cute character. It's not too dark and humorous, and it doesn't feel heavy and alarming...

It is said that people commit suicide Going to hell later, suicide is also considered a crime in Christian countries. The "hell" in the movie is a more frustrating place than before, you may be lost in thoughts of the person who abandoned you, and you are still tormented by the painful memories of your life, people have no humor Sensation, without passion, the movie tells us that suicide doesn't get you out, it takes you to a place where people don't smile.

The film tries to create a frustrating atmosphere that makes one feel alive for no purpose, and it works, and the first half of the film is a little lethargic. Finally, suddenly, they met strange people, came to strange places, saw some "miracles", and love appeared in this hopeless place, and suddenly the male protagonist woke up, and his tearful eyes seemed to say: "I Live!" Then, inadvertently, a real miracle occurred, he came to life, and he was in front of a brightly colored world, and the best way to welcome this world was a "big" smile...

I laughed too, I felt pretty good , I got a touch of touch in the previous kind of aimless and lonely mood.

It's good to be alive, smile!

BTW, the movie reminds me of Chaplin's "smile", which has a warm and courageous power.

Smile
Smile, though your heart is aching.
Smile, even though it's breaking.
Though there are clouds in the sky, you get by...
If you smile through your fears and sorrows.
Smile and repeat tomorrow.
You'll see the sun come shining through
If you just light up your face with gladness,
Hide every trace of sadness.
Although a tear may be ever, ever so near.
That's the time you must keep on trying.
Smile, what's the use of crying?
You'll find life is still worthwhile
If you'll just smile, come on and smile.
If you just smile.
