Recently, I was watching some movies that won international awards. This is not my favorite, but I was recommended to watch it, so I tried it! The reason why I don't like to watch famous movies very much is because I'm afraid that there are too many deep meanings that will shroud my simple life thinking.
I have seen it all, and there is nothing to say.
Sitting alone in front of the computer in the afternoon and watching "The Seventh Continent" - it tells the story of a middle-class family who committed suicide because they couldn't bear the boredom, dullness and indifference of modern life. At the beginning, you may think that the life of their family is not bad, at least in terms of material. However, the movie uses the three time periods of 1987, 1988 and 1989 to show the protagonist's repeated life. If you look carefully, you will find that, In the past three years, all that has changed is the color and style of the toothpaste and toothbrush, and the color of the quilt of the daughter of the protagonist's family. Others have hardly changed. The fish in the fish tank are still swimming, and it is still on a special day. Go to the car wash to wash the car. Car wash - This is a very critical scene. The movie starts with the car wash scene. The family of three sits in the car, showing surprising indifference to all the noise outside the car! It may be said that adults are blinded by the filth of society, how can even young children become so indifferent? It's terrifying from the bottom of my heart!
Middle-class parents are so busy making money all day that they ignore their daughter's emotional needs, so much that her daughter pretends to be blind at school to attract her mother's attention. She, so young and cute, has become a "modern disease" created by human beings. The victim, I can not help but sigh and sigh!
What's really depressing and depressing is that, starting with the father of three, he sold his car and bought a lot of tools: scissors, hammers, chainsaws, axes, and then on another ordinary morning, when he was like a machine When my wife was preparing breakfast at the beginning of the day, the father smashed a cabinet that was unknown whether it was a bookshelf or an open-shelf with a hammer, and calmly said, I just want to smash it! Although the wife and daughter were incredible, they didn't say anything. After that, the whole family began to destroy the originally good "home". There were no words, only the depressing and depressing sound of tearing and knocking. In the end, when the father smashed the fish tank, the mother shouted "No." ”, but it was too late. When the daughter saw her beloved fish tank, she wanted to rush over in pain, but was stopped by her mother. The daughter fell in her mother’s arms and cried bitterly... I don’t know how long it took, the camera turned, and the family of three sent the banknotes. Tear it up and throw it in the flush toilet, I smelled a kind of death at that time! In a modern city, if even the money that can fulfill their desires can be regarded as dung, then the meaning of life is no longer important. In the end, a family of three committed suicide in a messy home until they were discovered by the police. Burial!
Who is the real killer in this suicide case?

    Before the New Year's bell struck, I chose to watch such a movie about destruction. At the beginning, I was a little uncomfortable, but the more I watched it, the more awesome it became. Even simple daily life can be filmed like this. As long as you have an idea, you can take a DV to make a masterpiece. This movie is much better than "Love", to be rewatched
