When watching "The Red Sea Turtle" I kept flashing this sentence from the Bible in my mind: "You must be sweaty to make a living until you return to the soil, because you came out of the soil. You are dust, but still Return to the dust.” (Genesis 3:19) A natural life is innocent and helpless. How many ruthless mocking and beatings from the natural world will be able to eat away with sweat on his face? This is true of physical hunger, and so is the lack of soul. Our lives are, to a large extent, not chosen by ourselves. The one who wanted to leave, but stayed. The two parties who were facing each other have become partners who have spent their lives together. Children born on the island do not want to spend their lives here. Lovers who have been hand in hand for most of their lives cannot accompany us to the end of life. Life is full of helplessness, so the wonderful moments in this one are precious to Yu Xian: Who came to accompany us when we were extremely lonely, even if the process of acquaintance was unpleasant? Who brings us the freshness of new life and enriches our days of aging? Think of the loggerhead turtle in your life. Think of the moment his or her protective shell cracked. Are all the tears, grievances, and despair covered by the little bit of joy and curiosity? We work hard for the joy of harvest; we are full of yearning for the response of a little love. "We are aliens and foreigners in front of you, just like our ancestors. Our days on this earth are like shadows and cannot last forever." (1 Chronicles 29:15) The end of the film looks like a big question mark: accident The man living here has gone through his whole life, his descendants on the island have also gone far away, and his lover has returned to the ocean. Everything seems to have never happened, this insignificant corner of the world is swallowed up by nature, things are not human. Isn't this the epitome of our humble life? The world is the world and can change us, but we cannot change it. Finally, I excerpted another sentence from the Bible at the end, and exhorted each other: "The preacher said: The emptiness of the emptiness. The emptiness of the emptiness, everything is emptiness." (Ecclesiastes 1:2)
