"The Adventure King in the Closet" film review (this article cannot be reproduced or quoted without permission)
"The Adventurer in the Closet" is adapted from the best-selling French novel "The Ascetic in the IKEA Closet". It tells a very warm and ridiculous story. At the beginning of the film, with a paragraph, a paragraph that is plain but thought-provoking, the protagonist Aja's life experience-a poor person. "A long, long time ago, someone said that all human beings are free and equal, including all men and all women. All men are equal. All people apply the same set of rules. In the same competitive environment, everyone should be equal. But , That is, just a microsecond after we were born, we began to face different encounters. Who are your parents? Who are your neighbors? What is your family income? How is your health? What is your body shape? What is your appearance? Once opportunities When it starts to have an impact, the competition is no longer fair. Opportunity decides everything. In the end, we all have to be at the mercy of the hand of opportunity." But is that true? The answer is given in the film.
The film uses flashbacks and echoes from the beginning to the end to slowly show a complete and fantasy story to the audience. Aja was born in a single-parent family, just like many ordinary people at the bottom of India, Aja’s mother relies on washing hotel sheets to maintain the family, and has a meager income. But Aja’s mother had a wish to go to Paris to find Aja’s father. It was such a remote and remote wish that Aja’s mother herself did not believe that it could be realized. When Aja started to go to school, his knowledge of the world was further enriched and expanded. He knew that he was poor. But his mother said to him: "We are not poor, because we have each other." Yeah! This sentence reminds me a lot. How to define poverty? How to judge? I think there is no standard, and it is impossible to have a standard. People might think that being poor is not just an adjective? It is a common word used to describe the condition of external matter. But I think this is a word that depends on the heart. Poor or not is not directly determined by external material conditions. Even if a person is impoverished, he has relatives, friends and other people he loves, and he has lofty ideals. He can also be the richest person in the world. But some people feel that they are poor. Indeed, on the one hand, it is his feelings about the external material conditions, but on the other hand, more importantly, he believes that he is poor. This is even more of a poor heart. The lack of heart makes his spiritual world depend greatly on the fullness of material. Aja was still young. He didn't understand what his mother said was his love for him. His mother thought that if she had him, she had everything. Having each other is her greatest abundance. Aja didn't understand, he only knew that he didn't want to be poor anymore. Although he earned money by swindling and kidnapping, he still can't cover up that he really loves his mother and is very sensible. He is a person who knows love and is good at discovering love.
The departure of his mother made him determined to fulfill his wish for his mother. He came to Paris, London, and stayed in Spain...On the way, Aja couldn't help but exclaimed, "There is nothing fair and unfair in life! Why? The same kind of people always get all the opportunities." The companion replied helplessly: "There is no such thing as nothing." With regard to opportunity, only karma, and karma is the destiny that people want to accept." The words of his companion changed Aja’s concept. At the beginning, Aja believed that life is just like the opening of the film, and life has opportunities. , But the facts made him realize that opportunities are always concentrated in one type of person. Therefore, he believes that all of this is due to karma. He began to work hard, wanting to get good results. But when he was on the line of life and death, his own consciousness said to himself: Don't worry about karma anymore, you have to be responsible for your life, and it is you who control your destiny. Indeed, it turns out that it is right.
Opportunity is uncontrollable, but it is affected by human behavior. The so-called karma is also logical. However, not everything can have opportunities, just because of human behavior, not everything can be explained by karma. When encountering a crisis, instead of struggling with opportunities and karma, it is better to control your own destiny and face it head-on. Starting from the beginning, and consistently, you are in control of your destiny. When encountering any small matter, try to grasp it and do the best you can. This is enough. Although we cannot decide who our parents are? Who is your neighbor? What is the family income? How is your health? What's your figure? How does it look? However, we can control our own destiny, and we must control our own destiny. You are in control of your destiny.
Some people will say that the movie "The King of Adventure in the Closet" is just like opening a window in a terrible life, a skylight to look at this beautiful world a few more times, waiting for dreams Wake up, everything will turn into a butterfly, and get back to business. Not all people will be as lucky as Aja, and not all people can pursue what they want and get everything they want regardless of hardships and dangers like Aja. Not even all of them can be like the three teenagers who never went to school, committed a crime, but were lucky enough to meet Aja, who was able to be accepted by him to attend the school he taught, and reaped the luck of misfortune. . But I have to admit that no matter how romantic the stories are, they still cannot be separated from human subjective actions. You are in control of your destiny.
In short, I still like this movie. It allows me to find a leisure time in the days of increasingly heavy academic work, follow the growth of the protagonist Aja, and renew my own possession of what I own but never own. The views of the past world have gained good promises, good promises...
