I don't like the beginning of this movie very much, the grand symphony, with all kinds of people's life in the early morning, there is a feeling of being too hard and too deliberate. But being able to read life bits and pieces in different corners of the world in an instant can still make people watch it with great interest. However, it is also a kind of inertia. In essence, this film is too scattered, too fragmented, and too experimental, so it is not easy for people to immerse in it; and due to time constraints, many people who have a play may not have happened on this day. The story, so the plot is a little embarrassing - people have their own characteristics, but the picture is just like that, more bland than drama.
The first moment that stuck in my memory was the scene where a Japanese father asked his six- or seven-year-old son to ring the bell in front of his mother's photo - this is just their morning habit, without music and without much language, the son may have been too old. Getting used to such a ceremony, I was already a little impatient, but my father still seriously lit a stick of incense and let the child ring the bell. The bell was crisp and clear, like a needle piercing my heart instantly. Looking back at the messy room, I don't know how many stories and sadness there are. Good snippets should be.
After that, the pictures come and go, black, white, Indian, and I will appear after you sing, which is dizzying. It can be seen that the director has a hard time choosing between many clips. Through the editing method of mv, many pictures are grouped together to make the movie look full. But sometimes it is also aesthetic fatigue, just like watching a scenery film, I feel a little tasteless. So after 30 minutes, I wanted to give up. It's my lack of patience.
One place where I almost turned off the movie was a patient lying on a hospital bed with all kinds of cannulas and instruments. The patient thought about it, and finally said, "After I leave here, I will do crazy things and enjoy life." After hearing this, I laughed, because everyone who has been in the ward may have such a mood And make a wish, thinking that our lives will be different when we regain our health after coming out of the hospital. However, after being discharged from the hospital, life is still the same. Many of the ideals in life that were promised when they were sick were washed away by habits after being discharged from the hospital.
There is also an impressive scene where a man drove home to meet his dad. After three years of not going home, he set foot on the way home for the first time, met his dad, had a hamburger in the car, and then gave his dad a Your graduation photo. The reason why this paragraph is impressive is because it is relatively long, but the content is relatively daily, and there is no major stimulation point. But in the process of watching, unexpectedly there will be a kind of family warmth that surrounds people - the relationship between father and son is more difficult to describe, it seems casual but bottomless, it is always awkward but difficult to let go of together. Maybe the director chose this scene because of this?
Here I have to praise the song in the movie - the one that was sung in three versions by three people - tm great! The phrase "I want to drink the cleanest water..." immediately grabbed people's hearts and ears, and with those pictures, I always felt that there was a different kind of beauty. However, the second male voice version is the darkest and depressing, because it is matched with many pictures that make people feel vulnerable, and it is full of negative energy beauty. But it's also part of life, isn't it?
i wanna drink from the clearest water
i wanna eat the things i ought to
i'm just one, i know
but i feel strong, you know
These simple and straightforward lyrics may be the most important thing we should remind ourselves in our life.
