Whether the movie "A Beautiful Life" is a tragedy or a comedy, different people have different opinions. But the director himself said that he didn't want to see people crying after watching this movie. In other words, the director was willing to treat it as a comedy. But like most people, I still shed tears after watching this movie. No matter how comedic the filming is, I still cried. The game played for father and son, the performance when father walked past the box at last, and the tank that came slowly at the end.
The story takes place in the era of World War II. The whole world is covered by a haze, full of gunpowder smoke, weeping, and death. But the director never looked directly at the cruelty of the war. It turns the life under the lens into a happy and emotional one.
From the very beginning, the protagonist Quito liked the heroine Dora, who fell from the sky, and then there were chance encounters and laughter and laughter. Quito used Schopenhauer's theory of consciousness learned from a good friend to make Dora once again. After opening his mouth, he finally took Dora away by riding a green horse at a banquet. Until here, the whole story is full of joy.
Quito brought Dora to the residence. They entered a room full of flowers. Then, as the camera turned, a cute little boy walked out of the room. This is the world 5 years from now, fathers, mothers, and lovely sons, they have their own bookstore and their happiest life in the world. But the good times didn't last long. The camera turned around again, and it was still the house full of laughter and laughter, but at this time, it was in a mess. Because of Quito's Jewish ancestry, he and his son were taken away and sent to a concentration camp.
What is more invisible? --dark
Quito was unwilling to tell his son the truth and let him accept the boring life too early. He set up the biggest scam, telling his son that this is just a game, and the reward of the game is that whoever gets 1000 points first will get a brand new one. tank.
In the following depressing, even cruel days, Quido has been optimistic and smiling in front of his son. He hides and seeks with his son, takes his son to eat biscuits with German children, and uses the cruel methods of persecuting the Jews by the Nazis as the rules of the game to tell his son: move things, do coolies, gas baths, burn... all kinds of cruelty The darkness and darkness were covered by Quito's clever lies. His son has been growing up happily, never knowing what a bad age he is in.
What is more invisible? The answer is darkness. Cruelty, persecution, and death happen every day. According to statistics, during World War II, the Nazis killed about 6 million European Jews, including 1.5 million children.
Throughout World War II, about 5.8 million European Jews were killed by Nazi Germany, two-thirds of the European Jewish population.
What a huge data, what a shocking history, in Europe at that time, the darkness of fascism enveloped everything. And because of his son, because of love, and because of hope, the great father cleverly turned all this darkness into a game and turned it into light. Man is great, justice is immortal. Schopenhauer said that the function of will is great, because we have this will, we can overcome all darkness.
What disappears as soon as I mention it? —— Silence
The father and son who were playing hide-and-seek were discovered by the Germans. Before the separation, the father and son repeatedly told their son to be silent and asked him to swear. As long as the son speaks, he will reveal his identity as a Jew. The father's decision to silence his son was a kind of protection and a kind of helplessness. Because of silence, the son escaped the massacre.
At the end of the film, the father silenced his son again, let him hide in the small iron box, and could not get out until there was no one outside. When the German army escorted Quito to death, passing by the small iron box where his son was hiding, the father walked funny and made one last grimace for his son. Father was taken to a corner. The gunfire sounded, we still only heard the sound, did not see the scene of Cuito being shot to death at last, this is also a clever arrangement, we did not witness the death of father with our own eyes, we were not born in that era of war, we Have not experienced persecution or massacre. But even if we didn't see it with our own eyes, we all know that period of history. The torture has not been forgotten, and the history has not been forgotten. What disappears as soon as I mention it? The answer is silence.
In the end, the fascists failed, the Nazi party fled, American tanks drove in, silent, and disappeared once mentioned. The people replaced silence with resistance, and justice finally won. The father traded his cruel sacrifice in exchange for a promise to his son-a brand new tank.
The director does not regard this film as a tragedy because he wants people to see hope and happiness. I have heard people say that maturity is not about not crying when you encounter sadness, but about crying in your heart and smiling on your face. I think this is a philosophy, but also a difficult problem that everyone will face in their lives.
Life is depressed, happy and hopeful is the greatest victory.
