If you write a one-line film review for this film, it will be: The Swedish version of "To Live", to live or to die? (There are spoilers below, watch carefully~)
Ove is an old man, with all the "common problems" of old men: stubborn, stubborn, eccentric, irritable, paranoid, but gentle at heart, often with a knife mouth and tofu heart, cute as a child.
The whole film begins when the old man named Ovi goes out for patrol in the morning. After the patrol is over, he drives to work in the factory and is told that the unit he has worked for for 45 years has decided to fire him. Without a job, Ove decided to commit suicide. And viewers learn about his past in failed suicide after failure.
The young mother died, the young father also left him due to work-related injuries, the middle-aged wife was paralyzed in the lower limbs, and the elderly wife died of cancer, and the last shift was not used. At first glance, Ove's voice seemed to be a tragedy. But look closely, after the death of the mother, the father who used to be quiet in the past became closer to him; the father died, the only house was burnt down, but when he was homeless, he met a beautiful wife; although the wife was in The lower limbs were paralyzed in the car accident, but fortunately, at least one life was saved in the accident; his wife died and lost his job, but he moved to a new neighbor. The neighbor's hostess was very talkative but gentle, and the children also so cute. Look, there is such a thing as the rotation of the times. Fate, happiness, always come quietly without knowing it.
Life is always full of joys and sorrows, immersed in joy, and strive to live in sorrow, this is called life! Just as Mr. Yu Hua wrote: "Living itself is very difficult, to continue life, one has to live with difficulty. It is precisely because it is extremely difficult that living has a profound meaning. There is nothing better than living, and nothing more difficult than living. "Be gentle with everyone in your own way, and when it's time to ask for help, speak up, as Patrick said: No one can do it all alone. Let go of your stubbornness, don't be stubborn, let your friends all come to help you, and the difficulties will be solved.
Do we choose to die or try to live? I choose the latter.
