4-year-old ponette (the epitome of all the "fragile and independent" people I can think of), who refuses the real world, refuses to let go of the hand of sadness, but at the same time is the most righteous optimist, holding a broken heart Looking forward to mom's return. She wants to be the daughter of God, she must believe in despair. In Leonard Cohen's song, jesus stood on a wooden boat and said: only the drowns can see me. Life itself is a dangerous ocean, and everyone has a day when the water will not be around their necks.
Poonette's father, a person who completely accepts "reality", has no illusions and no waiting, and experience has made him identify a certain answer. As his father said: "Return to the world of the living! How can you suppress your sadness by deceiving yourself?" In
this way, the main point of the film should be to interpret an imperfect balance between reality and the soul, precisely because this is a Inexplicable and painful contradictions, we wait for fantasy in reality every day, and then surrender to reality after fantasy.
It's definitely not the norm for a 4-year-old to mourn to this point, when she says "I want to die," when she's carrying her bag to the cemetery alone. For some moments, it was a miracle that I could understand her tears.
I think the director chose to make this story happen to such a special child, there must be some intentions. What ponette says and does is more like what adults want to do but don't do. In the face of reality, everyone is a small child. As adults, they tell themselves to be realistic every day, but their helpless hearts, like ponette, yearn for that little expectation to fill the void in their hearts.
No matter what, if you live in this world, you should learn to be happy in this world.
"She wants me to learn to be happy."---Even if you cry all night, the dawn will surely sing.
All the details are so real, watching this movie so many times made me forget it's just a movie.
