Being human is a matter of luck

When I was young, I used to talk about my sorrows because of the new words. I couldn’t think of any beliefs that were strong enough to support the long life. It's an unrequited love affair. Only later did I realize that in addition to love, there are a thousand colors in the world. Even the simplest joy, anger, sadness, and joy can only be known through a real experience. All attempts to grow beyond the laws of time are just on the surface. The truths and stories that I heard many times in my childhood will still generate infinite thoughts when I actually experience them. Slow pain sharpens the human soul. Happiness is precious because it is short and rare. After experiencing this, we will understand that the slowness or speed of time has its good intentions. Human beings, a complex species born at the top of the food chain, have been experiencing the cycle of expansion, degeneration, destruction and rebirth since Australopithecus walked upright 5 million years ago, and human civilization is also examining the space we live in to the self. In the change of inspection, I gradually embarked on the road of progress. On July 24, 2010, the two Oscar-level directors joined hands with YouTube and global netizens (obviously not in China), and collectively created nearly 4,500 hours of videos on the theme of human "fear" and "love". , after editing, so we have this "Life in a Day" we are seeing now. In the past, watching movies was to see the lives of others, but this time, what we see is no longer just the story of a certain person, but the life of a whole human being. 2010.7.24, a randomly selected day, the whole world, from young to old, from birth to death. That is to say, it will be difficult for us to simply be an outside audience, because each of us, fortunately or unfortunately, is a part of these human beings on the screen. 2010.7. 24. It was the day after my birthday. On that day, I was probably frowning and trying to solve the leftover birthday cake from the previous day. After that, I read a book and watched a movie as usual, then went to sleep, and woke up to a new day, like this Ordinary day. However, for this world, no day will be an ordinary day, every day, even every minute, there are births and deaths, and every day may be a birthday or death anniversary. This is the theme that "A Day in the Life" wants to express. I cried many times while watching the movie. Most of the time, it was just one shot and one sentence. It was enough to resonate. On these faces that flashed by quickly, it is easier than ever for us to see our own appearance. When it comes to love, When it comes to fear, we all burst out with the same joy and fear, no matter the skin color or the circumstances of our lives. Love is vague, love yourself, love a woman, love a Lamborghini or a rare language that has long been lost, love a cat that rests in your arms, and love a girl who keeps getting rejected Twice otaku, this looks very anti-inspirational, doesn't it, but you have to accept that everything brings negative energy, including love. What do you fear? A sharp question, many people have never had the courage to look directly at themselves in their entire lives, so it is very touching to see people under the camera firmly expressing their fears. A girl who is afraid of growing up, a boy who is afraid of losing a lover, an old man who is afraid of being involved in war again, a housewife who is afraid of being abandoned by her husband, who is afraid of cats, afraid of dogs, and afraid of being alone. What impressed me the most is the one who is afraid that God does not exist Girl, she said: "I believe in him, but what if he is not true? Then we can only lie in the dirt and die forever?" The thing is, in this world, the people and things you love will leave you one day, and the things you fear will come one day. In fact, most of the time, we have no way to feel that there are 6.4 billion people on this earth who are sharing the same emotions and feelings with us. What "A Day in the Life" brought me is an unprecedented collective from human beings. A sense of identity, the feeling that we are not alone, that we are not alone on this road, and that even different races, skin colors, and beliefs cannot change our instinctive response to smiling, fear, and tears in the face of love. As a documentary, "A Day in the Life" is actually soft. It seems to deconstruct life through the perspective of God, but the God in each perspective is ourselves. Therefore, what we see more is the beautiful and harmless side of human beings, but in fact, in this world, what happens more is war, killing, discrimination, disease and death, so the director deliberately chose A stampede caused by a parade is placed at the end of the film, and the blind mania of mankind is the culprit of all disasters. Dazai Osamu left his last words before his death: "I'm born a human, I'm sorry." But I feel that being born a human is a kind of luck, because people can choose, even in a very small limit, they can still decide their own life, Choose positive or negative, resist or obey. The husband whose wife has cancer in the film says, "In the beginning, I was afraid of your cancer, then you got it. Then I was afraid of you coming back, but you did. Now, you're recovering, and I'm not afraid anymore. "It's like this, people can't overcome fear, but they can reconcile with it, and life is a process of constant compromise, if you have the courage to go to the end, then you can say without any guilt, You have nothing to fear from now on.
