Death is the ultimate destination of everyone, so where should the meaning of life be found? This is a topic that has been discussed since ancient times. When a person loses the meaning of life, should he choose his destination in advance? "The Taste of Cherry" tries to give people an answer. At the beginning of the film, a middle-aged man drives a car with a blank expression, driving slowly, and sometimes stops, as if looking for something. He turned a blind eye to the whistle and the constant inquiries about the need for workers. He heard at the phone booth that others were bothering him about borrowing money. He offered to give him a ride and wanted to help him solve economic problems, but was directly rejected by the other party. He met another scavenger, chatted with him, asked about his job, where he came from, and how much money he could earn every day, and then he proposed to give him a job that paid well. The other party was very alert and left immediately. This is the beginning of the movie. Who is he looking for? Why would he give people a well-paying job? Why did he choose some people whose economy is not very good to do it? This is my most intuitive feeling. Then, he encountered the minion who hitchhiked to the barracks and let him in the car. Middle-aged people have been dominating the conversation, asking similar questions. The middle-aged man offered to take him around and offered him a well-paid job. The soldier hesitated to agree. He used the barracks to slowly become familiar with the soldiers. He drove the slowly uneasy little soldier to his destination, and finally said what the job was about: "See that hole? Come here at 6 tomorrow morning and call my name twice: Mr. Barty, Mr. Barty. If I have an answer, pull me up. There's 200,000 gold in the car, take it and leave. If I don't answer, bury me with 20 shovels of dirt, then take the money and leave." A man who wants to end his life wants a decent departure. I guess it was his idea. Xiaobing didn't look at the hole, he was scared and ran away. There was no expression on the middle-aged man's face, but he was still searching. Later, he met a seminary student with a similar conversation. "Suicide is wrong," said the seminary. "I know suicide is a very serious sin, but being unhappy is also a very serious sin," said the middle-aged man. What the seminary taught and believed made him reject the job outright and he found someone older than him who was willing to do the job. But during the journey, the old man continued to enlighten the middle-aged. The old man talked about his situation and said that he used to have this idea, hoping to use a rope to end his life, but accidentally found that the tree he chose was a cherry tree, and he ate the sweetness that was full of water. He kept eating the cherries, and suddenly found that the sun was beautiful, the scenery in front of him was beautiful, and the trees were beautiful. He went out with suicidal thoughts, but returned home with some cherries. "A cherry saved my life," said the old man. During this journey, the middle-aged people became the characters who were taciturn, while the old people were eloquent. I love what the old man said. Maybe it's more of a cliché, but maybe a person who is about to lose hope in life doesn't need cold preaching, just some warm words. I don't know if the old man's words played a role. He found the old man again and said to him that if I didn't answer, please throw two small stones on me, maybe I just fell asleep. He seemed to be able to see the scenery around him, the flying birds, the trees on the mountain, and the students running around the playground. The movie is an open ending because he still goes to that hole at night. But lying in the hole, he saw the moon. I think a person who can still see the scenery will not have the heart to leave this world. The pace of the movie is slow. Lots of dialogue, fixed shots. It may seem confusing at first, but when you become "he" and become that desperate middle-aged man, you will be immersed in it. I think that there is always a glimmer of hope in his heart, otherwise there would not be this search trip. What the film presents is a process of seeking to help him solve his funeral, in fact, a process of rediscovering the meaning of life. The old man was like the cherry tree, which made him suddenly see the scenery around him at a certain moment. When people are at a low point, the world is often not what you think it is, because when you are lost, you will always be in that situation, you will unconsciously ignore the beautiful scenery around you, and try something positive, even if it is just a meal. A sweet cherry, people's feelings may be changed because of this cherry. I really like the end of the movie, it's no longer about telling the story, but about the scenes that were shot. Two people held the camera fixed in one place, the director said "Filming is over, we have to make up the sound effects", and the audience was pulled back to the real world. What was originally a barren field was replaced by a green meadow. The green plants and the innocent smiles on the actors' faces should be the taste of cherries at that moment. So, lost people, go find the cherry, or maybe the apple. "Finish" , middle-aged people have become taciturn characters, and old people are eloquent. I love what the old man said.
