No matter what we do in this life, we cannot escape life.

"To die" should be an effortless thing, a rope, a train, a gun, a puff of smoke, and you can be put to death. But in the face of "alive", "to die" seems so laborious and thankless.

At the beginning of the movie, accompanied by music, Ove appeared in the flower shop, and his image was very clearly portrayed. He was so obsessed with a bunch of flowers that he was so rigid that he could keep swearing to his wife's grave. It's no wonder that an old man like this is annoying. He thinks he is a brave warrior, but he is actually a strange old man full of cruelty. He doesn't seem to get used to everyone and everything around him - the new neighbor, the lady who walks the dog, the white shirt driving in the neighborhood, the Rooney who can't quarrel with him, the homeless stray cat Also hated by him. He lost his wife, he lost his job, and there was nothing around him that could relate to him, so he decided to die.

For the first time near death, he began to reminisce about this life. The strange old man Ove was also a lovely lady, and accepted the death of his mother together with his silent father, making the age that had no memory become worth remembering because of those impressive moments. Among the memories related to his father, it was either a car or a train. If important memories in life were to be marked and classified, Ove's important memories in the first half of his life might all be related to cars. Life with my dad was like a road movie, he was always driving down the road with Ove and saying "this is life". On the train track, the father hugged Ove for the first time, and it was also the place where he took his father away.

The second time he was close to death, more color appeared in his gloomy life, that is, he met love. The woman who smiled like a sly cat, with red lips read words that Ove had never heard in her life, and she was like a miracle, casting a spell on Ove. When we met again, Ove looked clumsy, so obviously intentional and lying. On the first date, Ove wandered around, holding roses, cautiously in the dining room, ordering only her favorites, and talking nonsense. However, she kissed him. They dated, kissed, got married, moved into a new home, and Ove started life all over again because of Sonia, giving him one or more options in life.

The third near death, Ove rescued a man who accidentally fell off the rails; the fourth near death, Ove took in his little brother who was forced to run away from home because his father opposed homosexuality. You see, "going to death" is really an amazing and difficult thing to do. Originally, it only needed a rope and a decent self, but later it turned into smoke and a happy CD. In the end, it took courage There are so many. Ove is a very kind person after all. All of his interrupted deaths were due to "nosy". He doesn't actually hate him at all, it's just that at that time everyone was willing to fight for their own principles, whether it was everything he did for the community, or the "childish" behavior that he and Lunet broke up with over the car issue Yep. Then his principle became, "Just help them one more time", so he repaired the car of the girlfriend of Sonia's former student, he taught the woman in the neighborhood to drive and took care of two children, he helped Rooney debunk the white The conspiracy of the shirt also gave that cradle to the little baby. Look at this strange old man, doesn't he look like a clumsy big bear, although he is so cute to death, he has a fierce look. But the children all know that they like to hug him, paint him in color, and become good friends with him.

Ove decided to die in the first place because the life he thought would never be brighter. Everything associated with him slowly withdraws from the stage of his life, and he no longer has a reason to live, so he decides to die. But later, he was relied on by his neighbors and needed by the whole community. When he took the neighbor's children for a ride, he finally realized that "this is life", and he began to understand that "death" is indeed a trivial matter. Things that are effortless, once you become deliberate, death will do it against you. People are responsible for what he does, and if death hasn't summoned you now, dying may not be a good choice. The movie starts by telling us, "No matter what we do in this life, we can't escape life." Ove eventually died, and he left a letter in a weather that was supposed to go snow-sweeping before eight o'clock. , also took care of the cat, and finally went to Sonya's side. When he woke up again, it seemed that the gears of time had not moved forward. They stayed in the same place for a long, long, long time. She changed a pair of red leather shoes, maybe the book she was reading, and both of them had gray hair and wrinkles. , but when she smiled, he was still fascinated.
