Look at society with simple thinking

This film was nominated for the best foreign language film in 2011 as a fresh Swedish film. The color is bright and fresh, the main color is red and blue. Speaking of fresh films, I think of the trend of Thai fresh films. Thailand's small fresh films have the characteristics of Thai life and customs, from the daily life to the well-dressed living environment, etc., they are all colorful, which is inevitable that the film industry has this characteristic.


The freshness of Thai movies is entertaining, laughable and dramatic, while the freshness of this Swedish film is mainly reflected in the simple thinking of Simon in addition to the freshness of the picture. The dramatic story of the film plus Simon's Asperger's disease makes the theme of the film even more profound than the Thai film Xiaoqing New Wave.



Simon's life is full of regularity, getting up on time every day, taking a bath on time, watching movies regularly, and fixing food every day, etc. These regular constraints seem to be particularly monotonous in Simon's life. However, Jennifer asked him if he felt bored and monotonous, but he didn't think so. Simon just dumbly accepts all this in society and does not break these laws. Regarding this, on the one hand, it can be seen that the understanding that Simon is the life of office workers and working people in society, they accept life step by step, do not break or resist.



The interpretation of "circle", such as round manhole covers, round biscuits, round food, like circles but dislike brown, etc. These things are the epitome of people in the real society, and the real people are flat and pictorial. In the film, Simon said, "People often tell a lot of lies. For example, the dentist says that tooth extraction is not painful, and people tend to pretend to be strong when they are angry and say not to be angry, etc." These lines plus the mechanization of Simon's life rules mentioned above can be seen. Out, the boring and monotonous life makes modern people's hearts morbidly distorted. The round barrel is the space capsule that Simon had imagined. Simon would hide in when he was hurt and would not come out. People in real life are like Simon, choosing their own space capsules, hiding in them when they are hurt, and closing themselves to avoid harm. Simon is only the refractor of people, he is only the embodiment of life as well as the victim. He just uses his simple thinking as a bystander to quietly examine the sick people in society.


The role of the driver reversely analyzes the social phenomenon: fast. The driver was originally a chef, but the current situation in society pursues speed and fastness, so fast food appeared and swept the whole society. At this time, quality has become unimportant, and the caviar sauce made by the chef needs to be slowly boiled. This is in serious conflict with the pursuit in real life, making chefs have to change industries. How ironic the society is, reality often makes us leave the good.




Reason and emotion are contradictory on the one hand, and attract each other on the other. In Marx's words, it is a relationship of dialectical unity, mutual influence and mutual restriction. In the film, you can use Sam's words: like a magnet, two poles attract and repel each other. Rational, formulaic, like Simon's fantasy capsule, space flight, etc. These elements refer to the science of reality. Simon calculated his every move with equations, and from the other hand, it can be seen that this is a definition for the audience: science is omnipotent. But the answer given by the director is "no". Just as Simon arranged a date in an equation method, science is not omnipotent in terms of reason and emotion, because emotion is not defined and determined by equations.
