"Blind Chance", translated as "Song of Opportunity", tells the story of medical student Witek, who immediately doubted the direction he had laid down in his life after the death of his father, so he dropped out of school and planned to leave the city to find answers.

The film gives Witek three paths: first, catch up with the train, get to know an old man from a certain party, follow the faith, and doubt the faith. 2. He did not catch up with the train, and he also had conflicts with the staff in the station. During the trial, he met members of the opposition faction, embarked on a completely different path of belief, and finally doubted his belief. 3. On the last road, I didn’t catch up with the train, and I didn’t have any conflict with anyone. Instead, I met a female classmate I liked in the class, got married, had children, and got on a certain plane to help my tutor complete the project. explode.

When the familiar music played, Witek chased the train that seemed to lead to the answer to life over and over again. Many people couldn't help crying. After all, as human beings, we cannot escape the choice itself.

If you choose, you will choose the wrong one. If you do not choose, it is also a choice. A person is based on the world, and what he steps on is choice.

It's better to be like the two men in the film who practice tossing each other day and night without stopping, but never ask why they do it.

We always think that only wise people will ask why, and if we ask, there will be an answer. After asking so many questions, life has passed, and life is not much different from those two people who seem to be bored and throw the ball to each other.

Blind Chance quotes

  • 1. Werner: Every generation craves for light. It needs reassurance and faith... in a better, more just path.

  • 1. Werner: Early in life it is a joy. because the light seems so near, so reachable. Finally, it brings bitterness. We can see how it has receded. I have been through much these forty years. I see that the light has receded. But I should not discourage you. You can be sure of one thing. Without that bitterness, that hope... life would be lamentable.
