if I can sum it up in one sentence, it is that we have always wanted to live the modern life of Westerners, but do you want to? What should I do after passing it? The
verbose version is probably like this:
Western modern people's requirements for life are simple, clear, fast, and free together people together, they had thought about their own lives, these requirements in some developed countries of Western Europe, such as Germany, has been largely achieved
and those of us who oppressed the Chinese people 5,000 years of thought that Westerners are living like an immortal I was trembling all over with envy of the days,
so I was a little surprised to see this copycat Ozu movie made by a German,,,,Two pure-bred German couples live in Germany for their fairy days, but they have to die and live.
Going to Japan to find some life redemption,,,,The Germans are crazy? At this moment, I feel like a group of people are going to take a bath. I came late, and I hurriedly pulled my clothes and chased forward. I ran back in front of others,,,
in fact, it’s not that strange to think about it carefully,,,,
Simple is inevitably monotonous, clear is inevitably boring, quick and inevitably mediocre,,, as for freedom, it is even more troublesome, no one disturbs you The difference with no one caring about you is actually small and pitiful. When you are happy, no one pours cold water on you to try to share a piece of the pie, which means that when you are sad, no one will be interested in listening.
Just like the old German man in the movie. After the death of his wife he began to really face the cold world, he has a son, have a daughter, have a job, a friend, but as he himself said, I really do not understand how they, they do not understand how my
modern Culture encourages us to wrap ourselves in a bubble and keep a comfortable and safe distance from everyone
The old German man in the movie is a typical example. When his wife was still alive, he wrapped himself and his wife in bubbles and lived in a quiet countryside. There were no redundant people, no unnecessary things,,, no matter it was Children, relatives or friends, no one can disturb them,,,, according to the view of modern Western culture, the so-called perfect life is like this.
Although I complain about the alienation of children, I don’t think this is such a great problem. ,,,, because it is not so much that the children are alienated from their parents, it is better to say that the parents do not need them at
all. It is a pity that this perfect state burst like a soap bubble after his wife died,,,After the funeral, he Standing on the beach, his son was talking behind him about how much he loved his mother. He didn't listen to a word, and he couldn't say a word,,, the man behind is his son, but not him. loved
his children to stay around, realized that this was simply a group of strangers, he came home and found it was just an empty room
in the end he really can not stand, can only hold a box of clothes and ran wife called his wife have been longing for the Japan,,,,This is not so much a pursuit, as it is a desperate escape.
In fact, he understands,,,He and his wife are the only ones in his bubble. Now that his wife is dead, the bubble will not die, no matter where he goes, He was the only one,
so he didn’t look for any new partners or new friends. , This is the only thing he can have.
In the real version, probably this old man will die alone in the crowded streets of Tokyo,,, but the director kindly activated the God mode and sent him a perfect Japanese girl,, , Ok,, maybe not so beautiful,,, but at least a girl,,,
but even this beautiful girl sent directly by God can’t open the old man’s bubbles,,,,,,
she can comfort him and help him , Can take him to see Mount Fuji, can teach him the weird Butoh dance to release the sadness in his heart, but he can't walk into the bubble
until he dies. The old man has only his wife, and his wife has only the old man.
This may be very romantic, but it is also quite a bleak romance
and it should not be forgotten that this bleak old man is already one of the luckiest group of people,,, look around, how many people can have such a pure and strong Love?
Will you be the only person in your bubble from the beginning?
