I watched this film with my roommate on a windy summer night, and lent the disc to our classmates and said: Highly recommended!
Well, I still believe in the eyes of my classmates. Because all along, everyone likes to watch the same thing.
So I fed the disc into the optical drive and sat in front of the computer for 1 hour and 52 minutes.
It's really a good film, the picture is clean and warm, filled with nostalgic and reminiscence atmosphere, charming and charming restaurant waitress, handsome and melancholy and talented pianist, kind and slightly philistine restaurant owner, and the song that runs through the film from beginning to end. Main theme - gloomy sunday "Gloomy Sunday".
I don't want to discuss the love of the three protagonists, nor the loss of the soul during World War II. I just want to talk about that piece of music, the real protagonist of this film.
This song in the film caused 157 people to commit suicide in a troubled world. The song was played over and over again. For people like me who don't understand music, I just felt that the song was solemn and sad, but it was clean like water, and there was no factor that forced death. Maybe , It is not the pure music that makes people commit suicide, but the chaotic era, the era in which dignity cannot be stored and people are at a loss, so a piece of sad music became the fuse, prompting every listener to have infinite sadness and despair associations , thus losing the courage to live and the determination to die.
The pianist later wrote lyrics for the piece, and he finally understood the true meaning of the piece, which was the issue of human dignity. There are two lines in his words that show that to obtain human dignity is a person's journey back home - "As long as I have my breath, I will re-tread my hometown and walk on that peaceful land." A man can only feel that homecoming when he is dignified. When there is no other way to preserve human dignity, then suicide becomes a valid option. If reality prevents people from choosing to live with dignity, then everyone can choose to die with dignity.
So, thinking about the suicides of the 157 people, does it mean that in those chaotic times, human dignity was so scarce, and people's ability to maintain their dignity was so weak that death was the last helpless and weak way, Make the last cry of pain and powerlessness for your own dignity.
Turning to think now, the peaceful and prosperous world of the 21st century does not guarantee that everyone can have decent dignity. At least, every time I read the news that a certain official condolences to the poor peasants, the old man takes over the 200 yuan that is like a drop in the bucket for them. I knelt down when I was moved by the dollar; or when I saw the crowd swarming up and even fighting for a little profit, I would think of dignity, a term that seems to have been ignored for a long time, with infinite sadness. Dignity not only refers to the right to live, but also represents the personality that a "person" and a social person need to have. A chaotic era has no dignity at all, and a society that has lost its moral standards has no room to talk about dignity.
I am thankful that the education I received made me unable to understand the questioning of dignity contained in the music. Our herd of cows will only eat a few more bites of grass leisurely in the clear music. We will pay more attention to the plot of staying on the skin: this story is about a woman who enjoys the polyamorous love of three men at the same time, and the traditional plot of revenge for father and son. And after watching "Gloomy Sunday", I continue to live: there is no such thing as a melancholy Sunday, and there is no such thing as human dignity.
