When watching "Xiaosong Qi Tan", I heard Mr. Xiaosong say that because of the unique geographical environment in Northern Europe, people here are better at playing with themselves. For example, when they are too bored in the polar night, they will think about inventing all kinds of strange things. So Denmark has Lego, and the most powerful military weapons in the world are also in northern Europe.
I also felt the same way when I went to Northern Europe for two weeks last summer. Nordic people have a unique temperament. They look serious, calm, and even a little unsmiling, but after a few more chats, you will find that they have a unique sense of humor, with a sense of humor with a cool Nordic atmosphere. It's the kind of people who say something really funny and you really want to laugh, but when you see how serious they are, you think it's too rude to laugh. Probably because it is too cold, even the seriousness and sense of humor are unique and advanced.
Ove collapsed because of a hypertrophy of the heart. Neighbor Parvaneh called an ambulance. Before Ove was loaded into the ambulance, he told Parvaneh to tell the ambulance not to drive onto our sidewalk. Tears came from laughing at this.
Ove looks like a picky neighborhood aunt. Every day in the community where I live, I criticize the new neighbors who are not good at driving, yell at the stray cat who always sheds hair, threaten the neighbors to make a blanket if they see her dog who urinates everywhere, and scold the supermarket for its revenue The quality of the ropes sold by the staff is not good... As if picking someone else's thorns is the only purpose of his life.
But he was such a stubborn, awkward, stubborn, inhumane, and super unsocial person that his new neighbor Parvaneh saw right through it. She created trouble after trouble for Ove, and kept him very busy every day. He was so busy that he would yell at her every day for why, and at the same time, he would help her deal with trouble after trouble every day, so busy that he had no time. Think about how you can successfully commit suicide.
While disgusting that Parvaneh is thirty years old and has no driver's license, he jumped out of the car when the car behind her kept honking at the green light, but the car turned off, and yelled at the car behind, "Don't you see Did you post a novice on the butt of the car?”; while refusing to ask him to help repair the bicycle to pick up girls, the neighbor young man quietly repaired the car and brought it to him; while chasing the shed stray cat everywhere, Tell Parvaneh in her last words that this cat likes to poop everywhere, and you have to respect her freedom...
It's true that he is lonely, but he doesn't want to take the initiative to reconcile with the world, or take the initiative to please anyone around him. On the contrary, he can be self-contained in his own system, a glittering neurosis in his own world. But in fact he is not so withdrawn, when his troublesome neighbors harass him again and again, he is instinctively impatient, but he instinctively completes the tasks they are assigned, and even exceeds it, such as Parvaneh just let him Helping with the kids, but he helped her clean the kitchen. Of course not for some noble reason, just because of his damn cleanliness.
I think that's where Ove's cuteness lies.
Parvaneh is also a big highlight of the show. She is talkative and pushy. She doesn't consider herself an outsider, but she is also smart and optimistic, making people feel like a spring breeze. In fact, she should have felt that Ove wanted to commit suicide on the first day she moved into this community. He also saw that behind Ove's twist, it was the death of his beloved wife and the loss of the work that he had devoted 49 years to. She must have sensed the cuteness behind his babble after Ove forced her to make the meal look pompous and finally accepted it, and after Ove got up cursing and lent them a ladder, she caught to his zeal. By creating one trouble after another, Ove made Ove feel how important he was to this neighbor who "can't take care of himself", and made Ove feel that he couldn't die for the time being because he was needed again and again. The first time Ove burst into laughter was when he and Parvaneh had a fight, smiling at each other in the early morning sun. That laughter meant that there was some kind of deep sympathy between the two of them.
In Ove and Parvaneh's "Love and Kill", I gradually realized that "being needed" is to a large extent the belief that supports our good life.
