I recently watched such a broad-minded but reasonable movie.
The male protagonist has a stable, high-paying job, lives in a big suburban house, is isolated from the noisy world, and has no worries about food and clothing, has a beautiful wife and two daughters, and his life seems perfect.
However, it was such a person who accidentally came to the ashes of his home after get off work one day, and found that he was looking at everything that happened in his house from the window, like a god's perspective. He watched the scene performed by his family with gusto. As an outsider, he watched their every move without being noticed, so it was out of control.
Intentionally or unconsciously, he slept in the attic. The next day he didn't go to work, his wife called the police, and then the third day, the fourth day... This accident that was natural to him, gradually turned into an unexplainable situation. If you tell your wife that you didn't go home because you watched her in the attic for a week, the ghost will believe it. At this time, he had no retreat. Having to continue to hide in this attic, the longer it takes, the more impossible it will be to come out, so he was imprisoned by his own whim.
This story is a bit ridiculous at first glance. Since he has a perfect life, has no worries about food and clothing, has a stable job, and has a happy family, how many people envy him in his life. What is he avoiding? Family? no. Work? It doesn't seem to be.
If a person has been under the mask for a long time, it is difficult to take off the mask. By accidentally being able to observe his life from the perspective of an outsider, he is incurably addicted. During that year he laughed wildly, hummed like no one else, and even roared like animals at passers-by.
As he himself said, he is not denying his wife, or the leisurely suburban life. He has abandoned himself and abandoned all his roles in life. After not paying attention to the eyes of others, he returned to the primitive and found his most natural state.
In fact, none of us hope that we can escape life at a certain moment. When being suppressed by society and life is unbearable, who has never thought about it, just for a while, forget about all the tedious daily affairs. No matter what, even if you are a tramp.
However, the reality is that even if he can completely abandon quality in life and live as a homeless man, for his family, life has been going on, they can't wait for him to come home forever. The wife's ex-boyfriend took advantage of the vacancy, and the wife and children have also begun to get used to living without him. At this moment, he was suddenly upset.
When things got to this point, he left few choices for himself. He didn't go home to face it at the beginning, but waited until now, waited until a year has passed, how to step into the house again.
After imagining countless possibilities, he cringed even more.
In that year, he fulfilled the wishes of countless people, but this road was a road of no return. What kind of face do you have to face your family and friends, and how will they react? Happy, disappointed, or angry?
And his wife? Of course she is not completely innocent. I turned a blind eye to the people closest to me, never tried to talk, to the attic where I was close to the sky but I couldn't see it. The moral is that he has always been there, but she has always chosen to ignore it. In fact, their marriage has long been problematic, but both of them are escaping. The consequence of evasion is that the gap is getting bigger and bigger. The two people live in two different worlds, just like the house and the attic, close in front of you. Out of reach.
During that year, he was free like a bird between the sky and the earth, re-examined his life, and had an insight that those mediocre people could not understand.
Although I let myself go, but in the end I was no match for the "jealous" of my heart. Once this stingy jealousy allowed his marriage to continue, now it is this vulgar jealousy that made his path to freedom finally lost to the temptation to go home.
The end of the film ends with the hero finally coming home. He disappeared at the door of his house a year ago, and opened the door a year later, as if nothing happened. How would his family react? But the film ends here. I want to tell us that countless conjectures are just hypotheses after all. Even people who have lived in the perspective of God for a year can’t predict what will happen when they get to that point. Live life, or live by yourself. .
But having said that, this story is just a hypothesis made by the author, who is imagining to escape from social pressure and dare not to do so. I discovered when I was halfway through the film review that I actually didn't believe in the above-mentioned principles. The author of the story is also a coward, and because he didn't dare to try, the male protagonist's freedom ended in failure. On the contrary, some people couldn't eat grapes and wanted to say grape sour.
I feel that for us cowards who are afraid of the consequences, no matter which step we can take, it is brave.
Let's talk so much first, see you in the lower part.
