Madio's life

Leonora 2022-01-14 08:01:04

If the characters in a movie or novel can attract you, there are probably only two reasons. One is that there is something in him that you want but not, and the other is that you can see your own shadow in him.
Mateo is the second kind to me. Mateo's life is tragic. When he was a student, he had very good grades and published papers with all A grades. However, when he was graduating and defending his favorite poet, he contradicted his instructor and failed.
Later, his father introduced him to the work of the hospital and he got acquainted with Zuozhen. When he learned that the hospital used electrodes to treat Zuozhen, he resolutely took her away and prepared to send her home, but Zuozhen's parents thought she was a burden. Instead of wanting her to go home, they wanted to send her back to the hospital, so he and his brother decided to take her on a trip. On the way, he fell in love with this abandoned girl because she was so similar to him and closed themselves. It is so stubborn not to let others into my heart, but in the face of fate, I am so incompetent.
An accident happened on the way, Zuozhen was taken away, and Madio watched as his beloved was taken away, but couldn't do anything. Instead of traveling, he went home to serve as a soldier.
He made this decision after careful consideration. His heart is closed. He does not want to communicate too much with others. He does not allow others to pry into his inner world. So he chose discipline and became the chief of Sicily. You can see it during a conversation.
Officer: I have seen your files. You have nothing to show. You don't want to be with your companions. You don't want to be in control and make trouble everywhere. Why are you here?
Madio: Discipline, I never disobey orders, I only do what I do.
But the diversity of his personality obviously cannot make him do only what he owns. He was transferred three times because of his nosy.
The first time he saw his colleague being maimed by a mob, he was angry and rushed to severely wounded his name. He was the only one who did this. The
second time he was taking pictures of the body, he saw a father next to him. Watching with his child there, he reprimanded him for arguing with him.
For the third time, when he interrogated the prisoner, he found that the poor was condemning his boss. He exposed it and had a dispute with him.
He just wandered like this, accepting God's arrangement for him, but he was dissatisfied with this kind of self and even a little disgusted.
When he met Melia in Rome, his dislike for himself was obvious. When Melia asked him what job he did, he deceived her to be an engineer. When the day he agreed with Melia came, he chose to escape. , He didn't dare to accept the love with Maria, because he felt that he was not qualified, and he didn't have the courage to let this girl into his heart.
When the New Year came, he was on trial. Melia found him and asked him why he lied to her. He was very angry when confronted with the questioning: My job is to investigate other people, but you always want to investigate me. I'm poor, I'm scribbled. . And Melia's answer is: Our relationship is so good. It shows that she doesn't care about these at all. Then he said: You like books because you can abandon them at any time, and your destiny is up to you.
I think this sentence deeply hurt Madio's heart. For a person who is so struggling, he could oppose his instructor for his favorite poet and be unqualified, and for children and innocent people who have nothing to do with him. The poor are willing to be transferred. This sentence pointed out his incompetence and made him understand: Although his life has always been his choice, in fact he has been pushed away by fate. He immediately retorted: I often make my own decisions and do not meet with you. It was also a decision I made.
Melia walked away in anger, which was to say goodbye to her beloved.
Madio continued to go back for interrogation. He saw that the poor man was helping the boss to commit the crime, so he wanted to help him, forcing the poor to tell the truth, and had a dispute with the boss. At this time, his colleague stopped him and said: Don’t mess with me. trouble.
He left the police station and came to his sister's house. Because it was New Year's day, his brother, sister and mother were there. The family was happy, but he found that he could not fit into the family anymore, so he left.
When he got home, he dialed Melia’s number, but it didn’t get through. Melia was a few seconds late at the end of the phone. He watched the "Happy New Year" on TV and felt loneliness for the first time. Maybe he I had this feeling before, but this time it was so strong that he thought Melia would not forgive him, and there was no one caring about him and the people he cared about anymore. I think the main thing is that the sentence deeply stimulated him, as if he was stabbed heavily in his heart, which completely smashed him. He can't control his own destiny. He has such a beautiful love, but he dare not accept it. Back then, he watched his beloved be taken away but he was helpless, and he couldn't do anything when he watched innocent people being wronged as a policeman. , His fate, he can't be the master, it is fatal to a person who is struggling in his heart.
He jumped down, coming so suddenly but reasonable.
His landlord is such a parity for him: he is so humble and demeanor. He must have been pushed down.
Mateo is the only tragic person in "A Brilliant Life". Everyone else finally got their own "Brilliant Life", but he is indeed one of my favorite characters and the most memorable one.
Maybe he is not so stubborn, his life will be much better, he can easily pass the exam and find a good job of his own. Maybe he doesn't pursue the so-called self, he can live a happy life with Melalie. Maybe he succumbed to this world, and he will not be frequently transferred. But that's not Madio.
As his younger brother commented, he was like an Achileshi, a brave and tragic man.
His courage is a height that many people have never reached. He pursues what he likes and can oppose the examiner for his favorite poet in his graduation defense.
His closed heart is something that people will have. When others try to spy on my inner world, I will always be instinctively defensive, but his protection is even stronger.
He dared not accept Melia's love. Will you accept love when you are destitute?
After watching the film, I have been thinking about what exactly killed Madio, is it destiny? Is it social reality?
I think it is his pursuit of self. He has been pursuing the inner things. As he said when he first met Melia, are you looking for mystery? You should look inside. He wants to become strong, he wants to control his own destiny, he wants to pursue the self he wants in his life, but he can't get it, he can't get it no matter how hard he works, he only sees his own incompetence and his poverty. , So he was angry with himself, he chose to end his life, because he didn't want this kind of self.
People have requirements for themselves, but no one can be the perfect self in their hearts, sometimes even a little bit of self can’t be achieved. I often hate myself, hate my incompetence, hate my ignorance, and hate my lack. Pursue.
Madio is dead, but life is still going on. I don't have the courage to end my life like him.
