Mourning in action

I watched the translation version of the movie channel, and I felt very disappointed after watching it. The movie tells the story of how a bereaved girl who has a boyfriend who has no job but no ideals and just wants to spend his life at home escapes.

It's not the passion of ordinary youth films, like dancing out my life, with shining dreams to pursue with all his strength; nor is it that Sasuke of Naruto has endured bitterness and humiliation, and finally became a hero. This is a story about no direction, lost in the road of life, and then escaped successfully. The hostess is like the tortoise raised in the family of high school friend Annika, unwilling to accept her life, she retracts into her shell and crawls when there is no one.

The hostess was born in a middle-class family, so she doesn't have to worry about her livelihood. After graduation, she cheats on her old boyfriend at home. Fortunately, her friends are very supportive of her finding a job, let her be a godmother, and sign up for vocational training courses. It's a pity that the hostess has class-weariness and feels that it is not her life. So pretending to go to the training class, actually mixed with a group of high school students. Then tried to be the girlfriend of a good friend's father. When trying to return to his own life, he couldn't resist the temptation and ran away completely.

In this movie, when the heroine missed the birth of the godson, a friend said a lot of things, to the effect that only you and your friends experience together are unforgettable memories. If you don’t participate, nothing will happen. . But the hostess was unmoved, because that was not the life she wanted.

There is a conflict of ideas here. Should life move forward in pain or stay happily in place? Should life out of inertia continue? Is there an invisible price for momentary pleasure? Will you regret following the guidance of your heart? Will the escaping heroine continue to grow after changing the environment, or will it be worse? After understanding yourself and facing your shortcomings, how can you find the most suitable life for yourself?

When we make a decision, we have to think about whether we will regret this decision after ten or twenty years. If not, that's enough.

  • Craig: I never anticipated still having to find a place where I'd fit in by the time I was an adult either. I thought you automatically got one once you had a job and a family. But it's just you, alone.
