Between me and you and him

"Meeting You by Accident" tells the story of a group of weird people, but it makes people feel like they are very ordinary, like anyone who would meet by chance when walking on a street corner. They have one or two simple relationships with each other. She is his ex-wife, he is his younger brother, they are not familiar with each other's beneficial neighbors, and they are just strangers with whom he has spoken up once. After watching the movie, I was surprised that I couldn’t remember the names of any of the characters. Obviously, borrowing the stories of this group of people and each other, this movie tries to create a non-specific fable, just like the original title, Me and you and everyone we know, starting with yourself as the center, between the closest person, and between all the people who know more or less, the composition of life spreading like branches, others are others in your and my story , But in other people’s stories we belong to that other person, that’s the actual relative existence.

The main axis of this film is emotional issues, but it is not limited to the love, friendship, and affection between men and women or women or young and old. It returns to a simple and basic visual inspection. It speaks of the purest interaction between people. The heroine (forgive me for not really remembering any name) put on those pink shoes that symbolize love and danced quietly. The Me written on the right foot and You on the left foot dodge and play with each other, snuggle close, and then leave. In this short The biggest metaphor for people is made in the lens.

Faced with the divorce situation, he tried to save his life with his left hand by self-immolation, and she, who is an avant-garde amateur artist who usually picks up the elderly and has no ambitions, is the two biggest extraordinary people in the film. On the sidewalk from the store to the parking lot, they described the journey as a life where each other exists. Iceland is the relay station of this relationship, and Tairong Street is the end of life. They walked side by side for only a few minutes, but It is more beautiful than other people have spent their entire lives pursuing. However, in addition to the pain of self-immolation on his left hand bandage, there was also his own cowardly wound. He couldn't bravely let her into his story.

But I seem to be able to understand his confusion. When he was talking to a neighbor in the store, he suddenly raised his head and looked directly at the camera, but he didn't know who he was asking: what were we done? I was completely shocked at the moment, maybe because he seemed to be Can penetrate the screen to stare at the audience's eyes, or because of the doubtful sentence: What did we do? He was like a stage actor who was halfway through the performance, suddenly realized how ridiculous everything was going on, I almost thought he would interrupt the performance in the next second and escape from the stage. Of course he is still the actor who sells shoes in the movie, but I was trapped by that playful shot and question. The answer is nothing?

Among these people with peculiar thinking, the art gallery director is the most distorted character. Excessive depression, always keeping alienation from the outside world. When the heroine brought her works to the art gallery, the curator asked her to mail it to the office. Even if she was within reach of her arm, she was unwilling to reach out her hand. It seemed that she was too much to recommend herself. The impatience caused by the artist's interference many times is actually her weak self-protection. So she can only use the virtual internet to express her little rebellious thoughts. She can throw away all the shackles of identity and become an untitled, realizing the devil in everyone's heart in that illusory world. In the film, there is also a small mockery of what art is. A discarded burger wrapper was mistaken for a work of art, and the created mug made the art director suspect that it was his own, and why Teddy and the AIDS patient belonged to it. Can slides convey digtal art? When I think of visiting art museums in the past, I always said that the things I don’t understand are art, which seems to be the case.

So in the end, the actor and heroine gave the possibility of cuddling their left and right feet. The two female high school students who were in a competitive and ambiguous relationship retaliated against the man who posted the notice of sexual harassment. The little girl and the little boy lay flat on the floor. It outlines the future home made by the cabinet of hope, and the little boy finally discovered the truth of the unknown sound before the dawn of the morning, and solved the long-term doubts in his heart.

Because sometimes what life lacks is just a small moment of sudden realization and courage.
