The years go by like water, everything is a dream
The culverts, rails, bridges pushed by the camera twists and turns, a middle-aged man in a cheap suit and tie is lying on his back by the riverbed, on the bridge directly above his face, the train whizzes by with the rumble of rolling over the rails .
One of the heaviest films in my heart - "Mints"
This is a movie I saw a long time ago, but even though it has been a long time, it still holds an important place in my heart.
If the protagonist of the film is a woman, the life of the disgusted Matsuko will come to my mind; if it is a child, it will be "Nobody Knows". Bai Yueguang's "Walking in the White Night" (book)].
This kind of heaviness is that you have no answer. His short and seemingly tragic life seems to have too many reasons: the frenzy of the times (a certain event in 1980, the financial crisis in 1998), the helplessness of the system, the distortion of the system (whether it is the military or the Police career), his "friend" who brought him down on his back, his treacherous wife, his unseemly securities manager, and his own distortions of humanity, some would say, it was his own "choice", and everything is to blame he himself.
None of these answers are wrong, you can blame it all and find an answer to talk about.
Such a shy and sincere person who "has a pair of tender hands" and "used to be so kind", at the end of the film, even in his life, he did not find the answer. "why?"
Maybe the answer isn't that important.
"The years go by like water, everything is a dream" . Life is like a movie, a moving train, some people will measure it by the end point, some people will overtake at the curve, some people will consider it by the scenery along the road, some people will consider the people who come and go along the road as wealth, some people just Occasionally watching the scenery and burying their heads in their own world, some people choose to get off the car and walk into the scenery...
Under the long river of history, the torrent of the times, and the gear of fate, everyone who resists is so small and powerless, even sad and ridiculous. And you freeze, elongate and magnify this moment of time, but it is so gorgeous and colorful.
A movie that uses flashbacks to show a middle-aged man's short life. Act One
In the class reunion that will reunite after 20 years, the former classmates who became the president's wife are drinking beer, singing and dancing, while Jin Yonghao is roaring frantically against the train in the river and on the rails.
