Finished watching this peaceful Swedish comedy on a very quiet evening, its slightly serious cool tone, tempered with a never-ending humour, left me with a bunch of chokes stuck in my throat until the last seven minutes, It just burst out. Ove is a weird 59-year-old old man who is lonely, vicious, mean, obsessive-compulsive, paranoid, abusive to his neighbors, neurotic... He even takes off his suit and covers his house door with plastic wrap before killing himself with a shotgun. , just because you don't want blood to splatter your clothes and your room. Ove is one of those, old people we hate the most. One day, such an old man decides to die. He stood on a stool with his head covered in a finger-thick twine, but was interrupted by a most unreliable neighbor couple. This new female neighbor named Pavina appeared in this image and disturbed Ove's suicide again and again with this image, but from then on, like his daughter, he integrated into his life little by little and opened his heart. . [Ove is not vicious, but lonely] Ove has saved a cat, a man, and a family when he was young. He has always been kind, and when he was young, he repainted his home so that it would not be demolished. He tried his best to make the house the most beautiful in his eyes, but in the eyes of the white shirt, it was still just an unsightly building. So in the end, the house was not saved, which is Ove's insignificance. But despite this, he still maintained this kindness. [Ove's Neighbors] Ove's neighbors are naturally troublesome, but also gentle, because they can endure such a strange old man. Throughout the film, it seems that Pavina, who has always been a neighbor, troubles Ove everywhere. But I have to admit that it was this trouble that saved Ove. Pavina once asked Ove to take care of her two children. At that time, her husband said to her, "You are against experimenting with animals, but you are not against doing experiments on children." The surprise entrusted to Ove by the child, but I prefer to understand that Pavina and her husband already knew about Ove's suicidal intentions, but they chose to use actions to pull back this lonely old man little by little. Children are one of the few creatures that Ove is never picky about, and he has a tolerance for children that he doesn't even notice himself. Pavina discovered this, and "used" his two children as "weapons" to disintegrate Ove's stubbornness. This is what her husband called "experimenting with children." Wei has a romantic, warm, gentle and strong wife. Everything about his wife's past is part of Ove's stubborn nature. He doesn't allow anyone to talk about his wife, even just in front of him With the three words "Sonia", he can be furious. In the first few minutes of the film, I didn't understand this very much and thought he was unreasonable. As his recollections grew, I slowly realized the depth of Ove's affection, until he finally opened up about his wife to his female neighbor. "The more idiots talk about her, the fewer memories I have of her." Ove's words completely touched me. What he loves deeply is only the wife in his memory, the wife in his eyes, the wife in his heart, not the Sonia that others talk about. "I hope you are my exclusive memory." This is a lyric that Yi Jiayang once wrote. I think it suits Ove very well. "No one will be the same for Sonia the mouth is talking about. [Ove's Failed Suicide] Thinking a little more romantically, maybe it was Sonya and Ove's father in heaven who made these "annoying" neighbors make trouble for Ove who was committing suicide again and again, making him every time A search for death ended in failure. In fact, it is not too much to say that Ove developed the character of an upright, kind, and iron-blooded man under the guidance of his father when he was a child. Growing up, Ove was also somewhat influenced by his wife's gentle and romantic side, which resulted in his character of "not letting go of troublesome neighbors before committing suicide". Personality determines life, which is probably the case. 2333 There is no climax in the whole film. Every time Ove commits suicide, the revolving light plays his life. An ordinary little person, his ordinary life, the life and death he has experienced, the thousands of tastes and emotions he has tasted, finally turned into tranquility after the snow at the end of the film. So this man named Ove decided not to commit suicide. Ove makes trouble, making every attempt to die end in failure.
