People are always accustomed to accepting things around them. Whenever something unthinkable happens around, newspapers or TV or radio will have corresponding reports to explain, and we will believe it, and Trumen is of course no exception. The media will always report all things to explain specifically for him. For example, a light that was accidentally dropped by a staff member will be reported on the radio immediately because of a plane crash and so on.
Life has always been so peacefully. However, one day Trumen was on his way to work and met a tramp who once played the role of his father in Trumen's world. The sudden appearance, of course, was a major mistake made by the show. In Trumen's memory, his father had drowned years ago. Trumen recognized him, but immediately his father was taken away by two people. The world of Trumen created by the director, this place called Taoyuan Island, faces the sea on all sides. Not surprisingly, this program will be broadcast until the end of Trumen's life. However, there is a contradiction. Trumen was interested in sailing when he was a child and determined to be a navigator like Magellan. In desperation, the director had no choice but to come up with an emergency measure, arranging for him and his father to go through hardships and dangers on the stormy sea, and arrange for his father to eventually fall into the sea. In Trumen's memory, his father died because he saved him from drowning, and he didn't even find the body. This incident was greatly traumatized in Trumen's young mind. It made him never dare to face the "water". Of course, the director's goal was achieved. He did not dare to touch the water, which means that he could not leave this place, even if he was interested in sailing. The next day, the newspaper published news that the government should expel homeless people. In the end, the director quickly came up with a trick to ask his father to come back and find him, so that he must be a person who must tie the bell to untie the bell. The explanation is that his father did not die back then, but he completely lost his memory.
These details are not enough to make Trumen doubt the world he lives in. The real breaking point came from when he was a teenager, when Trumen first began to love a girl, he fell in love with a girl at first sight. It is a pity that this girl is not the heroine appointed by the director. When he wants to get closer to the Xinyi girl, suddenly A person descended from "Heaven", the heroine in this show-later wife, but his heart has been occupied by the girl named "Roland". Later, because of the director, Roland was arranged to leave Trumen's world. Before leaving, Roland’s "father" told him that his family would move to Fiji (a place in Southeast Asia) in order to make Trumen give up, which means that it is impossible for Trumen to go. The Pacific Ocean. For several years, in order to piece together memories, Trumen bought a fashion magazine from the newsstand every day, and then tore out the facial features of the girls on the screen from it, and finally put together a picture of Roland. Because of his doubts about the world around him and his persistence in love, he decided to escape from this Taoyuan Island and go to Fiji to find his true love. Outrageous incidents followed one after another. He decided to leave by plane, and the travel agency told him that the plane would not have a seat until a month later. car? After he got on the car, the driver announced that the locomotive was out of service. Of course, the driver was an actor and he could not drive yet. Steamship? ...Unlucky Trumen...
Finally, he ran away cleverly and sailed towards the sea. The director insisted that he stay in this place and increased the intensity of the storm. The ship almost sank, and Trumen still did not turn around... Finally, the clouds cleared and the fog cleared...
When the boat floats in the middle of the sea, when Trumen is still thinking about it. , Suddenly... the ship crashed into the "blue sky and white clouds". The "reality" of all this is actually as real as the breach of the blue sky and white clouds. Is this world of our lives a world planned by the creator? Is it because we are too accustomed to accepting things around us? After watching this film, I always touch the air around me with my hand, I want to know where is the truth.
There is a door at the end of the blue sky and white clouds. Trumen can choose to go out or stay here. The director said that the outside world has lies and frauds just like here. The difference is that this is a world for you. you can think about it.
Trumen, smiled, went out, on the other side of the world, Roland was waiting for him...
The extraordinary thing about this film is that his idea is quite bold, and he dares to put forward a new proposition about the existence of our real world. Does our world exist naturally? Or guided by the creator? This film, which appeared earlier than "MATRIX", is awe-inspiring with its bold conception. At least I admire people who want to make such a film. Trumen is an ordinary citizen, so he has questions about this world because of his dedication to love. This foothold is also quite good. There is no need for heroism here. It can be seen that the grasp of the plot is also quite delicate.
This film is listed as one of Axiu's top ten favorite films. I like it because of doubts about the world, and I like it because of Trumen's dedication to love. I want to hear your thoughts after reading, thank you:)
