The first is the life of a dog. A dog who has lived with them for eighteen years. In this paragraph, I learned a little common sense: a dog’s life of one year is equivalent to a person’s life of seven years in the world, so the dog is actually 126 years old. It was buried under a tree.
Several special dates constitute the passage of the movie, and it is such a rhythm that unfolds the narrative unhurriedly. The eldest son left home on a certain day to become independent; the second son dreamed of the phone number of the girl he liked on a certain day; the younger daughter gave out his first night on a certain day; the father learned that he had cancer on a certain day; the mother on a certain day Had an affair with his driving examiner.
The eldest son lives alone in an apartment provided by his grandfather, where he meets his lover. What moved me was that when he was lying in bed and watching TV, he and his younger brother imitated the scene of the TV drama together as a child. The two people have the same tacit understanding in different spaces. The footage was edited naturally. This should have been the habit of the brothers for many years before they would play a fixed role when watching the show, and I don’t know how many lines they have said. When my elder brother was repeating his childhood scenes, he inadvertently had a face-to-face encounter with his past self. In his room, he played football with his younger brother and also mixed with the boys with his younger sister. Noisy childhood. At this time, the younger brother opened the room of the already empty elder brother, and when he left, he then made gestures with his hands on the horizontal lines that had been on the door frame. The little tricks between the brothers, the little competition, compare who grows faster and who grows taller. The mark of living together is so vivid that you can't erase it even if you want to erase it.
My brother also drew a line on the door frame of the house. After my mother's righteousness was strictly invalid, he let him go. From the beginning of junior high school, until today, he is about to enter the examination room of the third year, and the speed of those lines seems to slow down. When I was in high school and could only go home once a year, I could clearly understand the changes in the lines. Without my testimony, he was still stubborn and slowly grew into a man, and he began to learn to make some small jokes, and ridiculed me from time to time. Of course, I can also give him all the heavy things with peace of mind and let him go. By my side, I feel at ease.
Several years have passed. How did they live these years, the film did not explain. The whole film still follows the time. The youngest daughter grew up into a 16-year-old rebellious girl. He painted smoky makeup, listened to junk rock music, and started to learn to smoke. He also met his favorite boy. To be precise, he should be a 21-year-old boy who is still in high school. When she decided to give herself to her boyfriend, she turned her head and saw her young, weak and timid herself. As soon as the door closed, she completely said goodbye to her former self. On this day, she wrote in her diary: The first day of the rest of my life.
Have we ever felt this way before? Scarlett said: tomorrow is another day, Gibran said: live, as today is the end, there is a line in "American Beauty": "Today is the first day of the rest of your life? Every day is like this, except you die The day when it’s gone.” Does it all mean the same thing, but different expressions. Have we ever said to ourselves: This is the first day of the rest of my life. When we say this, we can't help but feel a little disappointed, some of the courage and desperate courage. Of course, few people can really make up their minds to change themselves. Just like the second child with long hair, he is used to a lazy life, depends on his parents, has excellent musical talent and wine tasting ability, but always holds the attitude of playing life. Finally one day, he began to change, cut off his long flowing hair in the mirror, and was able to taste grandpa's precious red wine with precise expression.
The mother who is worried about her children all day is exhausted and always looks tired. She looks young, although her figure is still well maintained, but the wrinkles have revealed her age. On one day in her life, she also wanted to be a little different, and she had an ambiguity with her driving examiner. In fact, she just wanted to have her husband cherish her as before, and children around her instead of leaving her one by one. After the car accident, the family surrounded her, her son, daughter, and husband, everything was the same as before, and she smiled satisfied, although the wound on her face was embarrassing.
It's like a certain day in our lives, every day is not deliberately arranged. In daily life, the promotion of the plot relies on everyone's various forms of resistance.
In the movie, the director sets the role of grandpa. The tough old man doesn't like his sons and grandchildren very much. He has a habit: every time they meet, they have to start talking after the hourglass is over, and they need to be silent for a minute. The sentence he said is classic: you need to face time with time.
A very literary movie. There are very few French movies, and I can’t express my emotions when I see such a movie once in a while. At the end of the film, his father has passed away. The family watched the original family video and recalled their previous lives, but now, there is one less person beside them.
Always elegant France. In this movie, I saw fierce father-son disputes and family rivalries, but they were all resolved in the blood ties. The son and father finally reconciled and can have a meal and talk together happily. Everything will pass.
If we take a picture of ourselves every day, after a few years, Hu La La flips over and finally sees clearly how we slowly become what we are today. At this time, we will face time honestly. When face to face with time, it's like today is the first day of the rest life, let's say goodbye to ourselves yesterday. No matter if it is the beautiful moon that you once missed, the cute and mischievous always bullied your brother, the night when mom coaxed to sleep, the quarrel and resistance with dad, the once brilliant exam, the boy who had secretly glanced at it, ambiguous moments.
