After watching the movie "A Trace of Accident", this is another Argentine movie of magical realism. Chinese Qian Jun and his fiancée were on the boating lake. When he was about to take out the engagement ring, a cow fell from the sky and killed his fiancée. Such a small probability event happened. Qian Jun, who could not help it, wandered into a foreign country and came to Argentina to find his uncle, and met Robert. Robert’s father immigrated to Argentina to escape the war, where he met a horse. Island War, and because of his son's participation in the war, he died in a foreign country. Because of his own experience, Robert has a hobby of collecting newsletters, especially those weird and nonsense. When he read to Qian Jun a piece of news in his newspaper clippings: "The heavens fall from the strange cows are causing misfortunes", he was surprised and surprised. Unbelievably, the victim of this tragedy is sitting in front of him at this moment.
Natural disasters and man-made disasters are only a small accident, but the two meet in this way. Today, with the development of the Internet, people are highly interconnected. This is also very possible. However, the director chose China and Argentina, the media It's a newspaper. This has to be reminiscent of magical realism, where magical things hide reality and show readers a world where subjective time and objective time are mixed, and the space of subjective and objective things loses boundaries. This incredible "magic reality" abounds in all the magical realism works, and these things are reflected in the old newspapers collected by Robert: the couple who accidentally fell off the cliff because of the car shake; The barber who was pierced to death by the flying steel pipe, the customer whose throat was cut by the barber; the patient who died in a car accident on the way home from the hospital after a successful heart transplant after waiting for two years. These are as small as the probability that a cow smashes his lover, but Robert's attention reflects his personal interest.
Of course, the main plot is that Qian Jun came to his home and gave it many times but couldn’t give it away. Two people who don’t understand the language lived together, people of different races and different regions lived together, and the changes made to each other were the money of the Chinese. Jun wants to find his uncle and be able to leave Robert's house, while Robert is looking for meaning in the repetitive and monotonous life, a meaning he thinks. Summary of the real society, we all look at people with our own eyes and hope that others can match our own eyes. In Robert's opinion, most people who come to his hardware store are mostly weird. This is the absurdity of life. The meaninglessness of personal life stems from tired life and personal outlook on life. All audiences understand that Robert needs to change his life and adjust his way of looking at the world. His enthusiasm is helpless. The cold blood is reflected in the interaction with Qian Jun. Finally, when he saw the huge cow painted by Qian Jun on the wall of his backyard, he seemed to wake up suddenly.
Indeed, this world is ridiculous, just like the various stories collected in Roberto's scrapbook, the world is real, happening in remote countries and appearing in the newspapers you read. For ordinary people, the cow is like a symbol, but the occasion is different. His mother’s dystocia and his father’s excessive death due to missing his son made Robert a weird person. The world he saw in his eyes was also strange. He blocked himself in his own world. The only thing that could save him was humans. Mary did not succeed. If the cow is a symbol of separation, misfortune and death, it will be destined to fall on us sooner or later, whether we are in Fujian, Italy, Buenos Aires, or anywhere in the world. Locally, what Dairy Cow brought was the destruction of Qian Jun's love and marriage, and what brought Robert's change. What Lao Tzu said, "Blessings come with misfortunes, and misfortunes depend on blessings", which can probably be explained here.
The ghosts, witchcraft, magical characters, and supernatural phenomena presented by magical realism have the strange, mysterious, and grotesque colors of myths, legends and indigenous traditional concepts. This time, the cow falling from the sky and smashing people to death in "A Trace of Accident" It is ridiculous and ridiculous. Because of the changes brought about by a so-called accidental absurd event, Robert needs to re-examine his life and reflect on the way he views the world. At the end of the story, Qian Jun found his uncle. He drove all the way to the country and appeared in front of Mary who was milking the cow. Everything speaks for itself.
