Lou Wufeier is the only child in the family, he has a warm family, his parents are intellectuals.
Their family was well-off, and Lauufiel did not worry about food and clothing. He worried about whether to follow his mother's wishes to become a pianist or his father's wishes to become an astronaut when he grew up.
Surprisingly, he turned out to be interested in both professions.
In a car accident, his parents unfortunately passed away, leaving him alone in the world.
Naturally, his dream since childhood could not be realized. He worked as a courier in a restaurant called "Suda Pizza". Because he was always unable to deliver food to customers on time, he was often criticized by the boss. In addition, he was often late. It is not to please the boss.
On the way to deliver pizza, he was hit by a car. Fortunately, he was not in serious condition, but the delivery time was delayed again.
The one who ordered the takeaway was a beautiful woman named Gabriel, who lived on the 35th floor, because the door was not open, so he didn't bring the pizza up.
It was raining heavily outside, and he chatted with Gabriel through the walkie-talkie between the first floor sheltering from the rain.
Like most love stories, Lawufel fell in love with this beautiful woman who had only heard her voice and never seen her. From the chat, he learned that the beauty works in a library called Maupassant.
After following several times, he failed to see Gabriel.
Lauufiel came to the building where Gabriel lived and happened to meet her uncle.
When his uncle asked him what he was doing, Lauffield was anxious and tore off an advertisement for apprentices posted on the wall ten years ago, saying that he had come to apply for an apprenticeship and become a carpenter.
Becoming an apprentice to Uncle Gabriel will give you more opportunities to approach her in the future.
While doing wood work, he accidentally lost a hand by a chainsaw. When Loughfair was borrowing books in the library, Gabriel said casually, "Who doesn't like polar bears?" Loughfair made a polar bear out of wood and gave it to her.
Lauufiel built an igloo on the rooftop as a gift for Gabriel.
He also ordered pizza for her, and the package featured the text she remarked when he delivered her takeout last time. He thought that what he did for her would impress her, but unexpectedly aroused her disgust.
If the movie is just that kind of plot, then I won't tell you about this movie.
What I have described above is only one line of the movie, and the protagonist of the other story line is one of his hands.
The title of the film is "I Lost My Body," and it's clearly saying "the hand loses its body," not the body that loses its hand.
After the hand lost its body, it desperately searched for a body.
In this narrative line, the style is not as romantic and warm as the line in which the male protagonist pursues the female protagonist. On the contrary, it is full of tension.
On the way to find the body, the hand has experienced many ups and downs, and nearly lost his life many times.
During his adventure, he encountered a train and was almost eaten by rats as food on the train tracks.
In the landfill, it was almost burned as trash.
It fights with pigeons, escapes from the dog's mouth, and swarms of ants also become a roadblock in his search for a body.
In the end, it still found its own body. Life is always unfavorable, but only by not giving up can it find what it is looking for.
Since the invention of the film, filmmakers from all over the world have been doing their best to open up the boundaries of film, from silent to sound, from black and white to color. It is because of the efforts of filmmakers that the films we watch today are not monotonous and boring.
Since the development of movies, we movie fans have always been the lucky ones in the development of technology. In other words, technology is driving the development of movies, not other factors.
Filmmakers are just based on technology and weave gorgeous dreams with stories.
When we are immersed in their carefully crafted dreams, the pointer of time seems to jump a lot slower for us.
So we are fortunate that time has been carved in the film, and our lives have been extended. The creative lens design, the open-minded plot development, and the philosophical thinking are undoubtedly the plus points of a movie.
The reason why we go into the cinema and spend money to watch a movie is often because our lives need to change and we urgently need a different life experience.
Our age is becoming more and more superficial and vulgar. Most young people have abandoned the tradition of thinking. Although we are rare and profound, we are never willing to think deeply.
It is for this reason that movies with deep thinking are often surprisingly high rated, and as for the box office, they are surprisingly low.
Hopefully this phenomenon will change in the future.
Otherwise, the serious consequence will be that the filmmakers will either lower the level of the entire work in order to cater to a superficial audience.
Either they are high and low, they don't care about the audience's feelings, they only care about their own artistic expression.
Neither of the above is a good phenomenon for movies. Evaluating the quality of a movie should never be completely determined by the box office and ratings. A good filmmaker should balance the two.
As mentioned above, it is science and technology that drives the development of movies, but it is not science and technology that drives the entire human civilization forward, but culture.
Just like what cross talk actors often say: cross talk actors must fight culture to the end.
The simple truth is that technology solves the problem of food and clothing, and culture solves the spiritual problem.
"I Lost My Body" is such a movie, he uses technology to solve people's inner problems. In movies, flies are an important metaphorical prop. The film begins with the father teaching his child how to kill a fly. Perhaps just like Chinese culture, the crow symbolizes bad luck and the magpie symbolizes happy events.
Whenever there are flies, the male protagonist will definitely encounter unfortunate things, that is, he is cursed.
The male protagonist lost his parents, a hand, and the person he liked. Fate took the things that belonged to him from his life one by one.
Before jumping off the building, he suddenly realized that life will not be smooth sailing, and the more miserable he is, the more he has to fight against fate. The hand is also a symbolic motif, and it is also the deep-seated theme of the film, something that the director thinks deeply about.
The hand represents the pure and beautiful ideal in the human mind, and all kinds of dazzling temptations in reality confuse the eyes of idealists.
The eyes cannot see the beauty in the heart, and the ears cannot hear the inner voice. Over time, the truest self in the depths of the heart will completely lose the body.
Whether the most real self in the heart can find the body that he used to live in, the director did not give an answer. Whether we can find it depends on whether we try hard to find it.
