Are you also chasing happiness in the ocean of happiness?

Almost every movie has suitable and unsuitable people, but this Pixar animation work, which quietly slipped into theaters at the end of the year but quickly dominated the list, has become an exception. If possible, I would like to recommend it to everyone around me, because every life is worth re-examining its past and future, and the meaning of coming to this world through this film.

It is also a fantasy setting in which the protagonist understands the true meaning of life through the boundary of life and death, which reminds many people of "Dream Hunting Travel Notes", but in terms of the depth of the script, this new work is even deeper - just looking at the first half, I thought this It is just an inspirational chicken soup that inspires people to give up ordinary life and pursue the realization of their true self. Unexpectedly, in the second half of the story, the strokes turned sharply, and the tricks continued. The real main dish turned into an anti-chicken soup that exhorted people not to rush for quick success and to savor life carefully. What is even more rare is that whether chicken soup or anti-chicken soup, the extension of the whole story is mellow and accessible, and the core is refreshing. Under the seemingly low-level expression of cartoons, there are hidden connotations that can only be tasted by adults. Deconstructing topics that are almost philosophical in a witty way of expression reminds me of Pixar's masterpiece "Inside Out" five years ago. After checking it out, it was the last work written and directed by Peter Docter, the director and screenwriter of the film.

For the hot questions of the past two days: You are so ordinary, how can you still be so confident? This movie will give a perfect positive answer-because one flower is one world, one tree is one bodhi, and the true meaning of life is hidden in even the humble daily life. Those ordinary majority who cannot expand the breadth of life, if they can perceive the depth of every step they take, they can also become winners in their own life. When I left the theater, I thought I was invulnerable to all poisons. I was surprised to find that within two hours After the nurturing of the film, a warm chicken soup text poured out of my heart, which is the magic of this movie.

Soul quotes

  • Joe: You ready?

    22: Huh?

    Joe: To come live.

    22: ...I'm scared, Joe. I'm not good enough. And anyway, I... I never got my spark.

    Joe: Yes, you did. Your spark isn't your purpose. That last box fills in when you're ready to come live. And the thing is, you're pretty great at jazzing.

  • 22: [in Joe's body] Like my mentor George Orwell used to say, State sponsored education is like the rattling of a stick inside a swill bucket.
