Day and night, light and shadow, feasting, prosperous and eye-catching
The sound of conversation, the sound of laughter, the sound is in the ear, but there is no trace in the heart
Don't play the role of a lonely patient, the heart has been frustrated
Just let the wind continue to blow away the worries and anxieties
Fantasy snowflakes fall, I see
Stop pulling yourself, don't make a smile...
Men and women who eat and drink cannot escape loneliness.
Younger people living in cities even more so.
Every day, everyone is sad and self-imposed to face life like chicken blood.
The future always seems so far away...
However, one day soon passed, and it was no different from yesterday.
Sometimes I am pessimistic and confused, most of the time I am anxious, and I often feel lonely.
In fact, young people all over the world are anxious and lonely.
And all lonely men and women are actually the same...
Today I recommend such a small French new film.
It tells about the lonely urban life of ordinary people.
Maybe it peeks into your life - "Somewhere, Someone"
Paris France.
Melanie and Remy, who were in their thirties, lived in the same district, or neighbors, but they didn't know each other.
They are all people with big city autism.
Everyone thinks that high technology will make it easier for us to build different relationships.
But it's often frustrating.
Even the relationship between people becomes estranged.
For many people, making friends or falling in love is not an easy task.
Depression and irritability often come to me.
Melanie couldn't get out of her previous relationship and became very anxious because of her work.
Haven't slept. Medication doesn't work.
She saw the psychiatrist again, and described her last relationship to her like this:
[I don’t want to give up either, and in fact I can’t. I think what I can't stop is the feeling, like floating in the air, away from the real world, like being swept away by a tornado. I love him more than myself, to the point of being humble to the dust, but it feels good to be sad to the point of dust. 】
It was a little morbid, but she enjoyed it.
After her boyfriend left, she didn't feel good about doing anything. When she was empty, she used a small software to make an appointment to numb herself.
Remy, like Melanie, works alone in the big city.
He has been carrying a sense of guilt in his heart.
Recently, I lost sleep because of the job change, and I also went to see a psychiatrist.
He was very lonely.
No relatives, no friends.
So, I tried playing Facebook, contacting old classmates, etc., but the results were not good.
Anxiety and confusion can only be confided by a psychiatrist.
So lonely men and women, but did not hold a group to keep warm and come together.
This is different from the common bridges of other film and television dramas.
The film uses the male and female protagonists as the two lines intertextually and intersecting.
They didn't really see each other until 5 minutes towards the end of the film.
Before that, they lived a lonely and mourning life with each other, and they met occasionally but became passers-by.
In fact, individuals integrated into the metropolis are too easy to lose themselves in the search, and how can they easily find others.
So, here comes the interesting part of this story:
When they are watching the sunset on their balcony.
When they look for someone on Facebook.
When they all go to a psychiatrist.
When they meet the same kitten.
When they meet inadvertently in every day...
While watching the movie, we have been looking forward to their meeting.
However, they never found each other.
But like us, we also experience confusion, trivial fetters, and self-torture...
To their credit, they have never given up on their own search and redemption.
In the end, after they both became better selves, the two began to meet unexpectedly.
It turns out that romantic encounters, songs, alcohol, cats, and dancing are not all good medicines for oneself, but oneself.
It turns out that you can only meet the right person at the right time, otherwise it will just be a stranger to rubbing shoulders every day.
It turns out that only after finding yourself and solving your own problems can you be able to meet someone.
In fact, this is often the case. Only by accepting yourself can you love everything in life better.
"We" are two different "selfs".
Only when both "selfs" are truly independent can they be united as "we".
In fact, we are all protagonists of our own lives.
Maybe, we are not good enough, often alone, but we may also find ourselves and meet the right person after a long time like Melanie and Remy.
In other words, "Somewhere, Someone" tells every story about you and me.
The film is about how people get out of their predicaments and bravely embrace themselves to pursue a new life.
In life, we often feel empty and lost. We often suspect that our talent is not strong enough, we think our luck is bad, and we even doubt that we have the ability to be happy.
This is not the case, you are worthy of love and to be loved, all you need now is to love yourself a little more and then open your arms to others and new things.
The film mentioned a concept: any living relationship needs to be exchanged with the outside world, and exchange is a crucial concept .
In fact, the essence of encounter is to share with others those things that we feel we cannot share.
So, please don't be a prisoner of your own emotions, don't be a bystander of life, but try to open your heart, participate actively, and not be afraid of disappointment, maybe you will find out one day that the lost cat is in your lover's home .
