John went back and forth day after day, taking the same MRT, seeing the same shopping street, and repeating the same procedures. When the lights are dimming, follow the crowd and stop. This is the initial impression of the film. We look everywhere, can the lives of these people have fun outside of work? Can there be other kinds of scenery on this dull and depressing life?
It is the instinct of everyone to hope to improve one's own plight. After watching the whole film, I think that the factors that prompted John to change are mainly as follows:
1. Family factors on
his birthday, John returned home as usual, at the table. The birthday cake with lit candles was placed, and the wife and children were waiting at the table. When the candles were blown, the daughter Jane ignored the feelings of tired John to answer the phone. This detail, together with the atmosphere for the plot, declared that John’s family and I don't understand his tiredness and unhappiness. His wife asked him what gift he wanted. After thinking about it, he realized that he didn't want anything, but at this time his wife didn't listen to him. I think at this time, what John needs is to change his lifestyle.
When I came home again, my wife had to go out in a hurry. She invited her to watch a movie free, but it didn't happen. The daughter's small group engaged in their activities in the room, and the son was not at home. After being tortured by a boring job for a day, returning home to face the icy furniture and objects, and facing the entire time when he was labeled as "boring", the film obviously did not reveal that John had a partner outside of work and lack of communication partners. In John's mind Depressed, a person struggles with free time.
People are people living in social groups and collectives. We cannot exist alone in isolation. On the contrary, we all need to communicate with each other, a way out for venting, and a platform waiting for our hearts to settle. The life of John’s family is simply alive. It can be seen that there is no fun at all. They may love each other, but it does not improve the dullness and depression of life itself, and does not let everyone living in that home. Everyone feels warm. It doesn't work for John to dismember his exhaustion personally, and seek comfort inwardly cannot be obtained, because he does not want his beloved to know his unhappiness, so he can only seek outwardly. At the same time, John's change is not only because he needs to vent his own pressure, but also because he wants to change the overall atmosphere of the family. He didn't want to be liberated from the family. After his wife and daughter watched his dancing competition and left, he chased out and tried to persuade him to express his affection, and then decided not to participate in any dance party or even Paulina's farewell ball. He just In order to maintain the family, I want to keep everyone's friendship. In the end, his wife took the initiative to teach him to dance, which indicated the thawing of the family relationship. As far as John is concerned, his behavior has been recognized by family members, and his behavior is meaningful and achieved. Purpose.
2. The
infinite repetitive work of external environmental factors keeps squeezing John's enthusiasm for life, just as he said in his own account, facing each client, asking a question that has been asked for 20 years-is that it? Then complete the procedures, send away a Terminator, and begin to welcome and send him again without expectation. Even the wife had no idea what gift she wanted for the first time. The repeated scenes and images are just to show the audience the situation of the characters and reflect the inner emotions. "Most men live a life of silence and despair. Maybe they refuse to remain silent after despair." This line is to illustrate that John's change is actually a resistance to the status quo, which made him start to deviate from the usual practice of two decades. His change is an instinctive reaction to the circumstances of his existence.
From the development of the story, Paulina is also an important factor in the determination and courage to change John's heart. At the same time every night, the familiar scenery retreated along with the air currents roaring out of the car window. Inadvertently, the sight stopped at Miss Mitz’s dance school, and the elegantly dancing man by the window was immediately imprinted on John’s mind. Here, the fascinated lights melt into the dancer's expression and give off a breathtaking fragrance. Jumped out of the MRT, opened the door, and faced Paulina's eyes and finally decided to sign up for dancing. This was the first intersection between them. John later said, "The way you look out of the window, just like how I feel in my heart." This can be regarded as a kind of sympathy and traction of feelings.
Once after class, I saw Paulina on the side of the road, crying because her coat was soiled, and she was invited to dinner for kind comfort, but Paulina sternly refused, and at the same time showed her attitude towards dancing-if you don’t want to dance Don't dance. Paulina’s serious attitude towards art made John think deeply about herself, and at the same time, it was infected with Link’s passion for dancing. For this reason, he even buried his true identity for a long time to avoid the sight of acquaintances. His visual dance Encouraging John who wants to change with his enthusiasm for life. The enthusiasm of Fern, Zeke and Bobby for dancing also played an immeasurable role in enhancing John at the same time.
It is precisely because of the support of his family and these friends that John's change was successful. So on the long road of life, family and friends are something we must never give up. The most important thing is that we must have an open heart, let others live in, and at the same time enter the hearts of those beautiful people. Help each other and support each other. As John’s wife said, “Marriage is to find someone to witness your life and share all the joys, anger, sorrow, and joy.” At the same time, we have to adapt our lives to our needs, when we feel that the current way of existence has suppressed us. In your heart, you must have the courage to change for good. In fact, life is so simple. Together with the right person, choose the right lifestyle and walk the path under your own feet, and everything will suddenly become clear.
Life is not a constant level, family affection is eternal warmth.
