It's so easy to understand a movie

I fell in love with this movie the first time I saw it, because it reaches the essence of life.

What is the essence of life? Of course it is not the reflection and analysis after watching the movie.

From the end of the story, we know that a protagonist who is completely accomplished and embodies the true meaning of Life Magazine is a person who lives outside of life at the beginning of the story. He only started from the moment he sent a wink message to his favorite lady. Try to pursue the purpose of your own life. This is the beginning of the story.

Of course, the beginning is always not smooth.

With the company’s mergers and acquisitions, the photographer sent the best work and gave it the loss of negatives that reflect the essence of life. The protagonist uses this as an opportunity to start the journey of searching for negatives, which is also a brilliant journey of finding his own "essence of life". This is how the story unfolds. The protagonist begins to "see the world, face danger, and cross barriers."

Of course, the development of the story is always not smooth.

So the first pursuit passed by, was fired, and love became an empty dream. This is the turning point of the story.

Of course, the transition is always accompanied by surprises.

With a new clue, the protagonist embarks on the journey again, "being close to each other and feeling life" so far, the story begins to end.

"Sometimes I don't shoot, sometimes I like that moment...
I don't like to take pictures and be interfered, so I stay at that moment, just like now."

I leave my life at that moment, like now.

For the photographer, the protagonist at that moment in the cover photo left part of his life there. That moment was the record and epitome of that part of life in Life Magazine. It is the most beautiful for photographers and life magazines.
For the protagonist, it was not his 16 years of work, but his experience in finding negatives gave his life the meaning of life. This meaning was finally reflected in the form of a cover photo, so that the final ending could penetrate the hearts of the people. the power of.

What is the essence of life? It is the purpose of life "to see the world, face danger, cross barriers, begin to get close to each other, and feel life." It is the experience of accomplishing one's life. When you are infected or moved by a certain plot or scene in the movie, please leave yourself at that moment, because that is the essence of your life, the reflection of the meaning of your past life, and the purpose of life that needs you to achieve in the future. .

It turns out to be so simple to understand a movie, as long as you can be moved and infected by it.
