so-called soul mate

I watched this movie recommended by a friend overnight, but it wasn't actually a night. When I started watching it, the sky was already slightly bright, and sporadic bird calls had slowly penetrated into the room.

(After thinking about it, don't write a decent film review, after all, I really like this film)

-------------------------------------------------- -----

Let's start with a few emotional changes in Paloma

At the beginning of the film, Paloma doesn't want to live like a goldfish, and hopes to end her life on her twelfth birthday. At the beginning, I was a little skeptical. Is the age of the protagonist a little too young? How could a twelve-year-old child be? Thinking about the world like this? As the film progresses, Paloma is a sensitive and observant child, the family annoys her and seems to hold her back, she smiles rarely, not even politely, her first laugh It was a conversation with Mr. Ozu in the elevator. This was a turning point. For the emotional turning point of the girl who wanted to commit suicide, life was no longer just a boring fish tank. This sporadic stroke laid the groundwork for the next development of the film. Foreshadowing.

The second change in Paloma's emotions started when she and the concierge, Renee, became acquainted. She knew from the beginning that the concierge was not an ordinary person. Through a polite message, she and the concierge got closer and closer, similar to one another. For the turn of the year. She found that the concierge was unique, like an expert outside the world. She hid here in order to seek her own comfort, so she made a "ridiculous" decision to be a concierge in the future. At this time, Paloma smiled obviously A lot more, especially in the scene where she shoots Renee, she's laughing almost all the time, which makes me look really comfortable and at ease.

The final emotional change stems from Renee's tragedy. Renee left this world because of a car accident. Back at the beginning of the film, what matters is not death, but what you are doing at the moment of death. Renee is ready to love someone. This moved Paloma and made her discover that the world, life, and fate are actually unknown, but there are such a group of people who know each other and understand each other to keep warm. The moment Paloma closes at the end, it seems dark, but back to the book "Praise the Darkness" in the movie.

The above may be an overview of the film. In fact, I feel that if I just analyze the film, people who read more books can understand what the director wants to express, so I will talk about my own feelings.

This movie made me choked up several times. I started to cry from the beginning when the girl said I was going to commit suicide, and then Renee looked at herself in the mirror after cutting her hair; Renee was holding the girl and wept; Mr. Ozu and Renee A movie together; Mr. Ozu to Renee: "She's never seen you." And the tragedy of Renee at the end. In fact, many times I am moved by the fact that I envy Mr. Ozu or Renee or Paloma. In their lives, there are such friends, such a group of people, who are literate, educated, dignified, and emotionally restrained. There are almost no such people in reality, which makes me extremely regretful. Coupled with the background music "Mademoiselle Paloma" and the "Madame Michel" played by the violin, I feel very uncomfortable from time to time. For me, I am very I like movies with such a rhythm. The emotions are gradually progressive, gentle and natural, and there are no sudden ups and downs, which is unacceptable. It is very similar to the "Unreachable" and "Transcendence" that I liked before (maybe the emotional changes are still different) So I am very grateful to my new friends for recommending me.

Nowadays, the development of our times has been too fast, and the rhythm has become a commonplace. The so-called elegance and so-called education are very few, and there are very few people who love to read. We are indulged in the endless network, some young people are addicted to hormones, some are addicted to hormones. Feasting and feasting. Adults are lost in money and power, and there are fewer and fewer innocent people. I often feel sorry for this. I feel sorry for this group of people, but also for myself. I have never met someone like Renee in my life. Justice, maybe for most people, I'm not handsome enough for them to understand my character, my hobbies, and my connotation. I can understand and accept it reluctantly. After all, the mainstream orientation is something I can't change. But I still hope to meet the so-called soul in harmony, sensitive, emotional, strong, vulnerable... just like me. I have to say that life is really like a goldfish in a fish tank. Living a standardized life and swimming in the fish tank every day, it may be fun or miserable. Everyone has developed their own stereotypes and is reluctant to change, because the cost of change is too huge.

i don't know where you are

Are you sad and helpless?

Is the music still playing

Life is still confusing

sorry i miss you so much

but

Who are you

Where are you

    Kakuro Ozu: Every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.
