The secret to happiness.

At first, I was attracted by the name, or the word "happy". I didn't know what kind of film this was, or even a documentary. Just download it in a hurry to your computer and watch it when you're bored on vacation. It's been a year and I just finished reading it today. All I knew at the time was that I was not happy. So I want to see how happy people live, and I want to be as happy as they are. A year later, I am still unhappy. In the evening, the sudden and unprovoked depression struck me again, and I wanted to cry, but couldn't find a reason to cry. Feeling that life is meaningless, that there is no motivation to do anything, that everything is nothing. But I'm very cowardly, I don't dare to die, I can only wait, waiting for this despairing emotion to pass quickly. I turned on the computer while eating the rice noodles packaged from the cafeteria. I didn't know what to do, so I was going to watch a movie. Before that, I had opened several romance movies and watched them for a few minutes and then closed them. It's very boring. The little love between men and women on campus, the vulgar encounter plot, and even the soundtrack of the film make me feel sick. Until I saw this, it was my favorite form of documentary. It happened to appear in such a special period, and it was unexpectedly beautiful. Halfway through, I cried. No hoarseness, no climactic sequence, no one of my tears seduced. I just saw the ice melt into water, the hunters cast their nets to catch fish, the ice water rushes forward, and the fish are thumping and jumping trying to break free from the net... Tears flowed out. I took out a napkin and wiped away my tears. The knot in my heart seemed to be suddenly opened. I was not sad anymore, I wanted to study, and I felt that life was beautiful again. It's okay to cry, yes, it's okay to cry. I'm so weird. Or rather, humans are weird. How can it be like this, when you say you are sad, you are sad, when you say you are happy, you are happy. This is not a movie review, just a record of my mood and movie viewing. Back to the topic, this documentary was shot very well. For this kind of film shot in a harsh environment, I will admire all the staff who paid for the film. It is not easy for them to come here. Besides, I like the director, the commentary, and the protagonist and the protagonist's attitude towards life. I think he is really happy. I envy him. A few points that made me cry. "Loneliness covers everything, only the dog accompanies him." It turns out that loneliness can also be happy. "It's all the Russians' fault, without the Russians there would be no vodka. "No, it's our own fault, some people are doing well, and you can get by and do a job if you want." If you don't want to, what else can you do but drink. As for who to blame, I don't know, it's hard to answer. " "Who's to blame, this is indeed a difficult problem. But life is lived by itself. What you want to do, you will do it. Most people still have that freedom. "He's gone again, leaving us behind" The hunter returned with a full load, and his wife and children went out to greet him with joy. Human happiness. After the New Year, the hunter went to a distant place to hunt, leaving his wife and children behind. Her eyes followed his wheels farther and farther, she would be sad, but not sad, she knew that she would come back. "I think my dream has come true" No matter what your dream is, as long as you like it, and one day you realize it, then you will be the happiest person in the world. "She had her head down, she was dead, and I was saddened to hold her for a long time... We noticed that the dog never rode on a snowmobile, he kept running after him, during the day and at night. Back home, He enjoys petting as much as his master" Dogs are so loyal to their masters that sometimes you'd rather trust a dog than a man. The dog is so nice, I miss my grandfather's old yellow dog, I have always been afraid of animals, including dogs, but only the old yellow dog of my grandfather's house, because I know he won't bite me, he will only be around me When he came home from school, he ran up to me and kissed my feet, then wagged his tail at me. Later, I went to middle school and didn't live in my grandfather's house. Later, I heard my grandfather say that the old yellow dog was stolen and killed by someone in the village. Tasty? Ha ha. What is the secret to happiness. Whether it is inner peace, or no desire, or self-satisfaction. I have no idea. Maybe it's because I'm young and ignorant. People at my age should be confused and unhappy? But I can clearly see that someone is happy. I hope they are really happy, and I hope that one day in the future I can be happy too. Hope everyone is happy.

Happy People: A Year in the Taiga quotes

  • [first lines]

    Himself - Narrator: This is the village of Bakhtia In Siberia. Although it looks like winter to us, it's already spring here. The village is located In the heart of Siberia, and we should keep in mind that this colossal landmass is one and a half times the size of the United States. The endless wilderness that surrounds this place is known as the taiga. No roads or train lines traverse it. There are only two ways to reach this outpost - one is by helicopter, the other by boat. The expanse in the foreground is not solid ground but the frozen-over Yenisey River, one of the largest waterways in Siberia. It's only during the few Ice-free months of summer that boats can also reach Bakhtia.

    Himself - Narrator: Of the 300 or so inhabitants of this village, a handful of them make their livelihood as professional trappers. One of these men is Gennady Solovyev. Here he makes his way into the wilderness across an enormous frozen river. He wants to show us an essential tool of his profession.

    Gennady Soloviev: [demonstrating] An animal would approach and begin twisting the bait. The pressure is very light, I'll keep my hand in it. Let me show you. See how light it is.

    [the top collapses]

    Gennady Soloviev: There you go. The animal is trapped. This is how I disarm the trap.

    [lifting the top back up]

    Gennady Soloviev: I take away the bait. I remove the wooden linchpin so squirrels or mice don't steal them. I put everything under the roof, and that's it.

  • Gennady Soloviev: [cutting wood for his skis] Of course, a good craftsman will make good skis using good wood. Getting around in these is sheer pleasure. You might have factory-made ones. If you and go into the Woods, you'll drop dead from fatigue after 15 kilometers. You won't be able to move a leg.
