Life and death are boundless

Recently, I have become more and more fond of this kind of movies that return to life. They are plain and real. Everything seems to happen to you and me. There is no shocking, no whimsical ideas, but just like this, using real power to moisturize things silently and impress you. heart of. Plain Life This movie presents the family life in the United States in the last century: After the husband and lover eloped and left the wife with four daughters, the wife could not get out of the shadow of broken love, so she was immersed in sorrow for a long time. Fermentation also exudes the smell of anger. Just as it is often said that some people with big tempers "enter menopause", the wife in the film has become unreasonable. To her four daughters, the mother is angry; and the four daughters also have their own concerns. The eldest daughter wants to go early. His graduate married, the second daughter fell in love with an old man and did not want to go to college, and the third daughter was ecstatic about dancing and was criticized for not doing business properly. It seems that the most "saving" little daughter is also playing a small abacus of premature love. In addition, with this sad woman, there is also a drinker, the host of the radio station, who sometimes accompanies her to drink and entertain. This kind of plot is so plain, and the plot is almost everywhere in the movie. When I first watched it, I fell asleep too, but when the story unfolded, I was full of curiosity and wanted to find out. Perhaps his own demons are at work, wanting to find some answers from it. Having said that, who doesn't have a heart demon? The liberation of personality However, no matter how familiar the story is, it is also a story in the American context. Many plots are really difficult for us to understand. The most shocking thing is that a man can go directly to the woman’s bathroom from the outside, and the woman’s children do not stop seeing it, but just a sentence "Mom is upstairs". This is unimaginable in China. Don’t talk about it in other people’s rooms. It’s just to enter other’s door, it’s hard if they don’t open it for you; and the second daughter of this family, not only can openly fall in love with the old man, but also can take it home directly. Shouldn't we call the police? ? ? In addition to surprise, there is also envy. The daughter of this family says that when she gets married, she gets married. Even if her mother is angry, the children still do their own way, because this is freedom. University is not a must. If you want to work, you can just do what you like. Work, because it's your own choice. And so on. It can be seen from this that the most basic structure of Western society is not individual families, but individual individuals. Even if they are in a family, they are quite independent. This independence does not deny family affection or love, but the liberation of human nature. MacFarlane's book "The Origin of British Individualism" has many examples like this. For example, a farmer just doesn't like his son, and would rather give his son a sum of money a month throughout his life than let his son inherit his inheritance. This is unimaginable in our country, where the "home world" is full of colors. But for the people there, individual choices are respected in this way. This choice is for freedom, and this freedom is for one's own happiness without harming the happiness of others. Of course, the most embarrassing thing in the film is the ending. The husband’s body was found not far from home. It may be a trip for a walk or a drunken accident. But no matter what, It's not an elopement in imagination, it's not abandoning his wife. But this corpse was so innocently bearing the complaints from his loved ones, unable to argue for himself. Before he died, all the entanglements were indifferent. Only the desire to discern now is speechless. In the face of death, it is difficult to sing like Zhuangzi. After all, for ordinary people, death is two boundless things. I don’t know the other side and the other side. The simplest sentence can’t be said. Love, there will be debts, there will be regrets. Whenever I think about this, I still cherish the time and don't waste it. In the face of death, it is difficult to sing like Zhuangzi. After all, for ordinary people, death is two boundless things.
