Right and wrong are just a pale spot

I do not judge this film from any rational or logical point of view.
Some people think that the characters in this film have nothing to do with each other. Several pairs of parallel characters and several parallel stories are completely patched together in chaos. But at least, when I watched this movie, I found it moved me. Judging from the content of the movie, everything starts from the most real life. Men, women, children, their respective stories in the movies can be seen everywhere in real life. The passion between husband and wife has been polished by time over the years and disappeared. Both are seeking excitement. Each took a bold step, but what is the final outcome? In the end, the two sides forgave each other. If dating strangers behind their backs for excitement is a mistake, then they almost made the mistake at the same time. It is precisely because of making such mistakes at the same time that they realize that what happened is not really important. What is important is that they understand and forgive each other. What they did may be morally wrong, but they can understand each other. Why do you do this? At the moment when you understand each other, do you think that the other party made a mistake? When the husband confessed that he did the same thing and always wanted to shift the topic to what flavor of eggs his wife would like to eat, what was in his mind? I guess at that time he should think that they were all right and life should return to peace. The story between four pairs of mother and daughter and father and son can bluntly illustrate that right and wrong are two unstable variables. Sometimes, our mentality that we think is very important is just a pale spot on others. We can't always consider right and wrong from our own standpoint. Children only pursue the life they want. Their desire for sex and love cannot be stopped, nor can they be stopped. The life rules set by parents for their children in the movie failed in a certain way. Who can say that they are right, parents and children? It can be seen from this that people are independent individuals, everyone has the right to freedom, everyone has their own choices, and no one can see right or wrong until this road is reached to the end. s answer. How can people be happy in this process? The movie has already told us that, like the couple seeking extramarital stimulation, respecting human nature, understanding each other's tolerance, this is the choice of happiness and joy. From this perspective, this movie is not a mess, it has contrasts, and it is also thought-provoking. The introduction to this movie is comedy, but I have the urge to cry when I watch it. The last narration is thought-provoking: This is home, our earth. There are all the people you love, all the people you know who have heard of, and every human being lives his own life. Every pair of lovers in love, every parent, every promising child, every saint and sinner in our human history live here, living on this dust suspended in a ray of sunshine, How many misunderstandings there are between them, how hot the hatred between them is, our own very important mentality, thinking that our important position in the universe is just a pale bright spot here. Our planet is just a lone spot in the vast universe. In the huge universe, there is no sign that there will be external forces to help us not regret our own hands. . Whether you like it or not, at present, the earth is where we stick to. Perhaps nothing can better illustrate the stupidity of human beings than this long-distance photo of our little earth. It emphasizes our responsibility to treat others more kindly. To protect and cherish this dim blue, our only home.

    Narrator: [recites extract from Carl Sagan's Pale Blue Dot, A Vision of the Human Future in Space] That's home. That's us. On it, everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was lived out their lives. Every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there on the mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam. How frequent their misunderstandings, how fervent their hatreds. Our imagined self-importance, the delusions that we have some privileged position in the Universe are challenged by this point of pale light. Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves. Like it or not, for the moment, the earth is where we make our stand.There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits, than this distant image of our tiny world. It underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known.
