The meaning of life is that the world generates greater connections

After watching this movie, I actually didn't fully understand it, but I could understand that this man always wanted to commit suicide, and he met three people who could help him commit suicide, one was a young soldier, and the other was a seminary student. The last one is the old man. The attitude of the first young soldier is to avoid indifference, the attitude of the second seminary is to do his best, but the third old man saves the man with his own experience, it is possible that the suicide A concern was found in the old man. The last scene felt like everyone was filming the scene. What I understand is that he may suddenly regard life as an art, that is, all your pain and happiness are just a fragment in the movie, you don’t need to care about him that much, And this is a bit similar to Nietzsche's "The Birth of Tragedy" in his view of life. You treat your life as a work of art. Pain or happiness is just a real color in your life. Dark spots are also very important works. If there is no dark spot, it is not a work! The two stories told by the old man in the car are particularly classic. One is the story of committing suicide and eating mulberries, and he also gave them to children. Because of suicide, he let the children eat mulberries instead. This may have made him find a life all of a sudden. The meaning of it is somewhat similar to what Lao Tzu said in the Tao Te Ching. The reason why the heaven and earth can be long and long is that they can live forever because they do not care for themselves. The meaning of such a person's life is based on being able to create meaning for others. It expresses the fundamental meaning of life's existence. The other is a story about a man in Turkey who saw a doctor. It is said that when the finger is on the body, it will hurt anywhere. In fact, the finger has a problem. This story may be that our perspective on life is wrong, and It's not that there is a problem with life itself. It's also a bit similar to Feng Youlan's Chinese philosophy, which has become the power of ideas. But just by lecturing, I don't think a person can have confidence in life all of a sudden. Maybe some words of the old man inspired him to use the mental method to look at some people around him. For example, he will see the children in the school. The little bird in the sky will then appreciate the sun alone. I don't think this is what moved him, but his deep connection with life. This kind of unhappiness can only be resolved when it is connected with the whole world. It is difficult for a person to influence the unhappiness of an individual. That is, only life itself and the world can resolve it with the help of Tao. So what I might be thinking about is how precious it is for a person to be able to appreciate the mundane things around you. If you can talk to the one around you

    When the movie is only used as a tool to tell the truth, it loses its taste~~

    Three brushes and five stars. Open valve mark, four stars for the second time in 191019, ten years. Abbas-style gripping, I have watched two films in which the protagonist wants to commit suicide in a short period of time, hahaha. The film designed winding mountain roads related to life and death, passers-by of all ages, dirt dumped by trucks, rain at the end, trees by the suicide hole and lonely trees in the mountains, airplanes, birds, taxidermy, and soldiers. A young child and a stable old man, the whole piece looks natural and smooth, but in fact it often "interrupts advertisements", quite experimental and alternative films, undercurrents are surging, but also make people miss and think. In the short comment, some people said that the dialogue is very preaching, so the movie has to say "Have you eaten" and "I love you" to not preach, hehe.

Taste of Cherry quotes

  • Mr. Bagheri: If you look at the four seasons, each season brings fruit. In summer, there's fruit, in autumn, too. Winter brings different fruit and spring, too. No mother can fill her fridge with such a variety of fruit for her children. No mother can do as much for her children as God does for His creatures. You want to refuse all that? You want to give it all up? You want to give up the taste of cherries?

  • Mr. Badii: I don't want to give you a gun to kill me. I'm giving you a spade, a spade.
