This film is very light, it is good to be light, and it is not so good that it is amazing, but what makes people think is a good film.
The film is about a well-rounded Englishman who seems to be in line with the value requirements of "moderate". He is always in suits and leather shoes, is unsmiling, eats the same brand of canned fish and toast, goes to get off work, lives alone, and lives a dull life day after day. Life.
His profession is to connect the families of the unclaimed dead; he regards his work as a sacred cause, and he is conscientious; he arranges funerals for people of different races, chooses appropriate music, and watches their burials. Most of the time in the film is recorded this kind of life, the waves are calm, there are no didactic lines, and there are no unexpected plots, but people melt away in this dullness and feel it.
At the end of the film, the protagonist's life ended in a car accident, and everything ended in this car accident. What happened after that? It is silence, the silence of death. Or, from the beginning, silence.
The director gave a meaningful name "Quiet Life". It was quiet before death, and still quiet after death. It just lived a life without any shock.
Thinking of this, I can't help but feel. When I was young, I always had bloody dreams, longing for vigor, alienation, and transcendence. In the end, most people still live an ordinary life.
Watching the talk show two days ago, Cai Qin said: "When I was in school, I spent more than two years thinking about the meaning of myself, why it exists, and what am I doing in this world?"
Tian Tian said: "This is a materialization. The relationship between people and things is 'I remember', 'remember', so things have meaning." This corresponds to the expression in "The Little Prince": I have established a certain relationship with things, so this thing has a meaning. Unique to me.
Qizhen said: "Do what you like and make what you like valuable."
Say a few words of my own opinion. There are many kinds of pursuits in life, but the most futile one is never daring to face oneself, selfish and blind obedience, ignorant and laborious, what is the difference between doing something and not doing something? It's empty after all.
Luckily, lay people who know how to enjoy music in a timely manner. This kind of music is not to be underestimated. It is a real worldly joy. It is a game and a dream.
A little more noble are the believers, who persevere in solitude, despite their misery. Isn't that the case with many unknown artists? Of course, most people just can't beat their fate. Life makes fun of them, ravages them, and squeezes their talents out violently and thoroughly. Or like the protagonist of this film, he probably looked down on himself long ago. He lived only one time and was in contact with the world. His career was to be in contact with the deceased. He wanted nothing and had no meaning.
The highest state is probably to be alone and also to be happy, right? There are very few people like this. Apart from luck, they must obey Mr. Mu Xin's words, and they must have good brains, hearts and talents.
