Originally planned to go to see it in two days, but this afternoon, it was 9.2 in Wuhu! Charge me on Christmas Eve!
The whole movie is too advanced! From the inside out, the five senses are advanced through audiovisual smelling!
On the theme, it explores an ultimate philosophical question: "Why do people live?" The male lead is an unwilling jazz pianist. He finally got the chance to perform that he dreamed of, but he walked too happily and died. Of course he didn't want to die just like that. He was inexplicably arranged as a mentor of Soul 22 who didn't want to reincarnate, to help it find the spark of life, and then reincarnate.
At the beginning, you will think that human spark is a goal. For example, the male lead is a jazz idiot, and you don't pay attention to everything else in life. In this process of quest, the philosophical discussion progresses layer by layer, and you will find that the meaning of life is to eat a delicious pizza, chat with mother, cut a young haircut, listen to street performers, sit in the sun and wait for a slice. Fallen leaves quietly fall into the palm of your hand... The meaning of life is not success, not a goal, or even a noble art (this is the meaning of my life). Pixar gives the answer: "Living a good life every day". What kind of zen-like smile is this! Pixar, the eternal god. The last time I saw this kind of "lightness" like a philosophical poem, it was the cherry blossoms when Master Tortoise passed away.
In terms of painting style, with such minimalist to minimalist philosophical discussion, the overall painting style draws on the simple strokes of Picasso in his later years. In his later years, Picasso's simple strokes achieved "no sword in his heart, no sword in his hands", just like a 7-gram soul as light as a feather, a stroke becomes the world. Simplicity is the ultimate high-level.
Synesthetically, I specifically chose jazz. Everyone has seen "Burst Drummer" and "Lalaland" and you know that jazz can bring people into that kind of selfless flow. It's so enjoyable. Then all the aromas, sunlight, and fine sounds that appear in the movie can make you feel that my heavenly spirit cover seems to have been opened by this movie; the last time I had such a strong 4D synesthesia was the "1917" cherry blossoms floating with the corpse A scene here is so awesome! I am fighting between heaven and man now, which one is the best for me to watch in 2020!
And this movie also criticized the alienation of people in the workplace. Of course, this is just my adult's thoughts. There is a very interesting setting in the movie: the department responsible for the dead has to die so many people every second, and one cannot be less; but the reincarnation department is very chill, and it also unites to deceive the writer.
So I personally understand that this movie is also teaching adults how to resist capitalism’s alienation of people: Capitalism is indeed basically invincible, but we can prevent "self-alienation" and live ourselves into one. "Community Animals".
Feel the little beauty in everyday life! Keep this perception! Don't lose the sense of life, this is the meaning of life.
Merry Christmas and happy new year?
