All people are alone

"The Years of Dog Face" tells the story of a little boy named Ingmar: his father is gone, his mother is seriously ill, he goes to live with his uncle, doesn’t get along well with his brother, and has a divorced friend. He is a lonely little boy.

Mother was weak in the hospital bed. Ingmar spoke to her for a very short time. He praised her mother's jacket and told her Christmas wishes. Ingmar used a similar way to save her mother at similar moments: he asked her mother about dinner at a similar time. What to eat. When facing death, Ingmar felt great silence, and his direct hobbies seemed useless, so he expressed his love with daily and ordinary things, because these are the most stable and will not disappear, and may block death. .

Ingmar loses his father, how can he believe in the world? He can only think that everything in the world is necessary, that the living is alive and the dead is dead. Ingmar missed the dead puppy Sika. His uncle pretended to be a dog and inspired him. He often pretended to be Sika too. If the complexity of people and the accidents of life were beyond his understanding, he would use Sika's method. Barking becomes an unsolvable behavior that Ingmar returns to others and life. It uses unsolved to fight against unsolved. The child's natural imitation becomes a sad talent. When Ingmar barked, he smiled at intervals, because the loss of the outside world meant that his actions were effective. This is the case for children. They often don’t care about the sorrows and joys of others, but only pay attention to whether the environment has changed due to their own touch. His illusion and hope of success.

Ingmar couldn't resist his brother, even if he was asked to stuff his dick into the bottle, he wouldn't resist. He resisted his brother only because of his mother, and even snatched his brother's weapons (guns and knives). Ingmar is unwilling to reject her friend Saka, but fights her fiercely because of Sika. He was angry at the damage he loved. To protect the one you love is to protect your own world. This is the method that Ingmar learned as a lonely boy before going to his uncle's house.

Ingmar likes comparison, he thinks comparison is particularly important. He always looks at the starry sky and talks about the feelings of the space dog Lycra, how far the space is, and people cannot reach it and it can’t be changed. So far, what happens will definitely happen. He thinks that the things that are close are the same. You will know by comparison. . After staying at his uncle’s house, he observed and compared and found that everyone was actually alone:

Fang Song, the forever nailing home repairer, was lonely. Everyone felt that he understood his silence and repetition, but prevented him from swimming in the winter; the green-haired boy was lonely, and his father was alone, silent and serious. He builds spaceships, who knows if that is his career; the sculptor is lonely, and the United States can’t accept his exposed art; Shajia is lonely, she wants to keep the boy’s friendship and respect, but is troubled by the growing breasts; Carre When lonely, he said that the rope must be tied tight, who understands? My mother is lonely, constantly reading and giving up the hobby of photography for his children; my uncle is lonely, he builds the summer house for fun, listens to the same record repeatedly, pays attention to the woman’s tits, and buys a TV but can’t receive the signal; Avison The husband was lonely and slept on the sofa bed secretly reading women's underwear magazines; the elder brother's lonely, responsibility and cowardly contradictions revealed in the accusation of Ingmar and the dispersal of the teenagers at the door, but no one understood.

The home repairer Fang Song was swimming in the snowy river. People watched him, laughed, mocked, and tried to rescue him from the river.

Fang Song said: Go away, I won't come up unless you go.
Fang Song said: Go away, let me be quiet.
Fang Song said: I want to escape, you drag me up.
Fang Song said: Leave me alone.
Fang Song said: I don't want to be reasonable, I want to be quiet.
Fang Song said: Leave me alone.
Fang Song said: Let me freeze.

Ingmar traverses all this alone, and compares it from different angles. "Think about it, it's actually not that miserable, maybe it will be worse." So when I climbed up from the mud pit where the spaceship fell, Ingmar and everyone in the town laughed, just like the first time a spaceship dropped anchor in the sky. When they climbed down the vertical ladder in the beautiful evening, people applauded and welcomed them back to the earth. At the moment of winning in Sweden, it seemed that everyone was no longer alone.

Except for Shajia and Ingmar, who are sleeping together under the radio, and Fang Song who is silently beating on the roof again, have you seen it? He disappeared later than the subtitles.

I hope that next winter, house repairer Fang Song can swim quietly in the snowy river.

    The child's eyes are as clear and mysterious as the vast universe, and the process of growing up is more like squeezing oneself into narrower and narrower spaces. Northern Europe's ice and snow, glass factories, summer houses, football, and melodious folk songs make the entire movie a true fairy tale.

    Single parent, lost my mother, separated from my brother, lost my companion dog, and lived under a family... This was an abnormal childhood, but because of this, I got the growth experience and care I deserved.

My Life as a Dog quotes

  • Ingemar: It's strange how I can't stop thinking about Laika. People shouldn't think so much. "Time heals all wounds," Mrs. Arvidsson says. Mrs. Arvidsson says some wise things. You have to try to forget.

  • Ingemar: In fact, I've been kinda lucky. I mean, compared to others. You have to compare, so you can get a little distance from things. Like Laika. She really must have seen things in perspective. It's important to keep a certain distance. I think about that guy who tried to set a world record for jumping over buses with a motorcycle. He lined up 31 buses. If he'd left it at 30, maybe he would have survived.
