Even if we should have such a spirit—to write a blind man well, we should simply cover our eyes—we cannot fully appreciate the mentality with which a real blind man faces life. But this is more or less a shortcut. Many times, when we experience a hopeless pain, the soul will come out to comfort: fortunately, everything will pass, and the universe will leave the footprints of life. As the strange old man in the film says to the tinker's wife, the poor old woman who is dying: "Put your hope in the future, in other words, all pain will pass with death, and everything will Be the best, and that world will give you refuge from this world." For me, who still has some hope in life, try to understand the old man's words, even as the lowest level of people. It is a good thing to interpret this film as a person. A group of souls have become beggars, living together under makeshift grass huts in a filthy garbage dump. Life is hopeless. The prostitute is aloof, alone, daydreaming about her all day long. Men don't have this kind of dream, the only way they escape from real life is - drinking. Isn't it, after all, it's the same thing: the same kind of tragic beauty - self-deceiving drunkenness. Tinker was a solid man, and he believed that there would be a day, but that would be after the death of his ill old wife. With this belief, he worked tirelessly. Faith is so powerful that it can put the life and death of a wife at risk. The sermons of the strange old man lead the alcoholic actor to find a place in life. He is a devout religious believer that a certain temple will turn a new page in his life. The old man tried to redeem and heal this group of people with good hope. This eccentric old man in the eyes of everyone, his words are full of wisdom and humor. Shima Sa, the uncle of the landlord's wife Osugi, looked up and down the old man who had never seen it before and said, "I have never seen your face before." It's possible." Shimazu: "I know every face in my thatched hut, even the cat in the last alley, but I just don't know you." "That must be your thatched hut a little bit smaller than the outside world. ." The old man gestured with his hands. Akira Kurosawa's films are full of this kind of hilarious and wise humor, and in "The Bottom Line," these underclassmen sometimes pass their desperate lives in this way. The king who boasted that he was a mighty warrior and the prostitute who daydreams all day play and even expose each other, and the truth of life's tragedy goes from comical to heavy to reveal. All of them are living in a dream, under the cruel reality, only this sacred sanctuary temporarily soothes their souls, and a Once the life-saving lie is exposed, men can only continue to use alcohol to drown their sorrows, while women go crazy and even try to commit suicide. Everyone in the thatched hut has their own way of coping with the damn life, and it is only hope that has turned into despair that sustains them. The landlord's family is not forced by material poverty, but their spiritual life is not much better. Osugi and younger sister Qiu Dai became enemies because of Yongji, the man in the thatched hut. The older sister chased and beat her to death frantically, and even spat on her body. The mountains are the peaks of the eyebrows, the water is the waves of the eyes, and the charming and charming face instantly turns into the face of a typical evil woman. The wise old man couldn't help but marvel: "They are sisters, it's hard to believe." The dying old woman said in a weak voice: "That's because they have no worries about food and clothing." Is it the wisdom of people when they are about to die? The words hit the key point of life: full and warm and lustful? ! The people at the bottom only want food and clothing, so Yongji, who is a thief, starts to play with women. Therefore, Osugi, who has nothing to do with food and clothing, has inflated his desires to the extent that he instigates Yongji to murder his relatives to occupy the property. It seems logical. The more superior a person's life is, the more inflated his desires are, and the more depraved his morals are. Look at the people in the city today, at the base of the imperial city, those who keep calling out-of-towners "unqualified peasants", those so-called literati, the so-called petty bourgeoisie, how selfish they are, they are "high-quality", Isn't the degree of moral depravity hidden under "high taste" directly proportional to their apparent quality of life? The truth of life is always highlighted in the people at the bottom. The so-called quality is just a gorgeous coat decorated with civilization, the degree of its gorgeous surface and the degree of filth of the soul inside are more and more seamlessly driven by desire. Survival - disguise - despair, become the fatal wound of this world. But who will redeem this mortal disease, God? Buddha? dream? die? The ultimate faith in hope for a better life? The strange old man finally found out that not everyone who is desperate in life can be redeemed. The power of desire is strong, but the lack of belief is the incurable chronic disease that kills people. Despair is a sin. In the end, even God is in despair. Can mankind still have hope? But how does God choose his people? Who is fit to be God's people? Alcoholic actors, daydreaming prostitutes, and even Yongji and Yau Dai who later set out to find a new life - these lovers are a man and woman who believe in the old man's words: the good life is elsewhere and should not be given up Hope for the future. Others almost regarded him as a monster, Yongji: "You are a good liar, and a person with many anecdotes to tell." The old man: "Why don't you go and see for yourself if it is a lie, But listen to me first, who tells lies that are always bad? Who says the truth is always good? "God, Buddha, hope, dreams... Maybe all of them are white lies, and a lot of times, don't we use those white lies very well? The murderer finally said: "The old man lied to every one of you, always saying that there are A good place to go, but can't tell where, he lied is true, but he gave sympathy to those who were desperate, some people in this world, have to use lies to support them, and that strange old man knows all about it. So they continued to drink and revel. They sang: "Money can buy your destiny in hell, money can buy you the mercy of the Buddha, this fool is bankrupt, let heaven rain coins, let heaven rain Coins..." They are all good people of God, because they are supporting their lives with their own beliefs. Whether it is alcoholism, daydreaming, or death. And the news came when the actor hanged himself At that time, the revelry party came to an abrupt end, and the drunk prisoner said, "He completely ruined such a lively party, bastard! "
