Penetrate the life that accompanies fear and persistence

What is the scariest thing in life? Is it to spend a long life in emptiness and loneliness, or to be brutally ended in the best time? What is more unbearable for a moment of pain or a lifetime of wasting? This is after watching the Argentine movie "The secret in their eyes), the question that came to mind. The movie is very splendid, with ingenuity in every detail. Although the subject matter is a bit heavy, the dialogue is humorous and interesting, the plot climaxes repeatedly, there is no cold scene, and the final unexpected ending is even more amazing! This year's Oscar for the best foreign language film is really well deserved. The film starts with a rape and murder case 25 years ago. The retired clerk wanted to write this impressive case into a novel, thus opening up the memory of many years. The picture of the past that gradually became clear with the writing: he saw the judicial justice disappeared under the manipulation of reality, and he also saw himself doing his best but still helpless; he saw the victim's husband waiting for the murderer at the train station day after day Persevering in the figure, I also see myself escaping from love because of fear. This is a cruel social case, and when I delve deeper into it, what I saw are two very moving love stories. The key words in the shuttle are: mirror, door, letter A, novel. [Mirror: Seeing the same love deep in my heart] "Mirror" did not appear in the movie, but it was the first keyword that appeared in my heart after watching the movie. The husband of the murdered girl fell into the hell from the original sweet newly-married instant by fate. During the whole process of hunting down the murderer, he did not have any emotional breakdown, but I can't forget the sad eyes under the calm expression. In the limited journey of life, some things happened without warning, and before I felt pain, I was forced to turn to another unknown place. You have only two options: go forward without looking back, or desperately find the way back. He chooses the latter, his paranoia comes from the deep-rooted love for his wife, the moment that shatters the present, and at the same time shatters his future. The clerk thought he chose the former. However, the fact that he insisted on writing the case as a novel twenty-five years later meant that he was incomprehensible, and the emotions between him and his female boss that he had never said but never passed away. The man who has a deep love for his wife, like a mirror, reflects the secretive emotional world deep in the secretary's heart. [Door: the moment of opening and closing determines the distance of the heart] "Door", being open to everyone, represents no difference; closing the other people outside, leaving only the space for two people to be alone, represents the difference. The opening and closing of the door appears three times in the movie, which cleverly presents the subtle emotional distance between the female boss and the clerk. Every time she asks: Do you want to talk about important things? His answer instantly determined the direction of her heart. For the first time, the clerk returned to the place where he worked. He said it was just a small chat. She opened the door as usual. The two laughed and talked about the past. There was only the joy of reunion after a long absence, nothing else. The second time, twenty-five years Before, she thought he was going to confess, and solemnly prepared to close the door, but saw another subordinate follow up. It turned out that he asked her to discuss business affairs, and she closed the open door again. There was no room for ambiguity, only disappointed her. For the third time, when he finally realized that he could not continue to live in emptiness, he plucked up the courage to come back to her, she smiled at him only the lover can see, and closed the door. For the third time, they finally had no distance and were truly in the same world. For twenty-five years, she knows that he loves her, and she also knows the gap between the two: she is a boss, he is a subordinate; she is a graduate of a prestigious school, he only has a high school diploma; she has an excellent fiance, he has nothing. It is a pity that he ignored the only and most important "her heart" he had. The most important thing in love is timing. Knowing that you love each other but never expressing it, then love is only the ripple of the heart after all, and it cannot be the voice of the other person's heart. I once loved a boy who seldom expresses emotions in front of me, although most of the time I believe that there is a secret but connected road between us, where there is only the two of us. But sometimes I get into a completely lonely situation, thinking that everything between us is just my illusion. At this time, I want to open the door that was only closed for him, and I will tell myself that he is no different from other people. Because there is no longer any expectation, it will not be disappointed again and again. Suddenly, I want to tell those who have treasures but are still holding back in front of love: Life is too short, how many 25 years can it last? If the most important place in your heart is the love you have never expressed, don't hesitate anymore. Instead of keeping her in your heart with regrets for a lifetime, don't be so brave to say love at this moment. If you really love each other, don't miss it easily. You will see her smile only for her lover, and get up and close the door that has never been closed. [Letter A: The hardest thing to overcome in life is fear] "Letter A", the typewriter has not been able to type, and the letter A is vague and indistinguishable on the printed manuscript, as if the clerk's emotions have been hidden for many years. I really like the clever metaphor of the "letter A" in the movie. The words written by a person in an unconscious state often reflect the subconscious, and the "I fear" written by the clerk involuntarily in his notebook is the voice in his heart. He is afraid of losing love due to the wide gap between the two, so he prefers to hide love in his heart, but the deeper he hides, the more unforgettable he will be. So, in his twilight years, he began to write novels, writing the most memorable case in 25 years. However, what he really wanted to write was actually a period of time when the two were closely connected in the case. "Fiction" connects the memory fragments that have been lingering in the heart for 25 years, rearranging and combining them, which should be fictitious, but he writes truly, through his writing, honestly expresses the feelings that he even wants to conceal deep in his heart. I have always felt that the strong desire to write comes from the extreme scarcity of the heart, the helplessness and frustration that cannot be controlled in the real world, through the reincarnation of the novel, and have a reversed destiny. This kind of writing is actually a kind of self-filling and self-healing, because we cannot change the past. Some things can be made up without regret, and some people can restart the relationship without saying that they are back. There is the imprint of time, and there is a lot of change for each other. Qianhui’s sentiment is even more afraid of "I don't know if you are still there" after the incident. So I can only start by facing myself, starting from the deepest plot, step by step back to the heart of the time, turning the past into this moment, and making this moment the only one. The hardest thing to overcome in life is fear, but the most memorable thing in life is love. The typewriter can’t type the letter A. It’s like "fear" is difficult to open up in the sun. Fortunately, there is always such a sudden moment, and I find that it is more frightening than "fear", which is the result of a long time." "Empty", alive, but nothing, no love, no company, and even memories are becoming thinner. One person continues without knowing it. It turns out that this is the most unbearable. If you can't type "letter A", write it down! When "I fear" becomes "I love you", and when "fear" spreads its wings and flies out, "love" can travel back through time and space. A moment of pain and a lifetime of wasting, I think I am more afraid of the latter. If life is inevitable in the end, I would rather grasp the happiness of this moment, even if it will suffer from loss in the end, it is better than fear of losing and never having it. The moment I close my eyes, I hope that the most memorable scenes of each stage will be reproduced in the rewind of life, rather than a blank space after a lot of wasting. Life cannot be repeated, but at least we can make the regretful ending possible because of changes. For a life that is not good, we do our best; as long as we still have love, life will not be too bad. Mysterious eyes are actually not that difficult to understand. When fear has courage due to persistence, please remember: close the door and write down love; when everything in life is over, please remember: forget the time and embrace love!
