Existence
That's it. I had a full day of work this Saturday and I know it's crazy. Sadly I'm looking forward to the day for something special, something good, something to be grateful for, that I can Participate in it and show the world that an ordinary day, even an ordinary person can have extraordinary things happen. But the truth is that good things don't happen very often. As for me (hilarious about to cry), nothing happened all day today. (hold back tears). I want people to know that I'm here and I don't want to live a life without a presence. I'm not sitting here telling you how good a person I am, because I don't feel how good I am , not at all. I think of myself as an ordinary girl with an ordinary life, not the kind of person who deserves deep communication, but I want to be that kind of person. And today, although nothing special happens, Tonight I feel as if I have experienced a nirvana."
- Confessions of an ordinary girl.
Does the above sentence touch your heart?
So now you answer three more questions!
Question1: What's in your pocket?
Question2:What do you love (the most)?
Question3:What do you fear?
The above confession and three questions come from a film called "Life In A Day", which came about when the director launched a campaign to let people around the world document their lives with impact and Answering 3 simple questions, they received a total of 4,500 hours of footage from 192 countries, all filmed on the same day - July 24, 2010, and edited into this 95-minute documentary format movie of. Some of the scenes in the movie are very weird, some are fantastic, and some are as shocking as a natural scenery film. In short, it is really amazing and beautiful.
Knowing that the film in the form of a documentary is through a WeChat public account, every day I pay attention and find that many people have completed their homework: watching this documentary and writing down their feelings. Day after day passed, and seeing everyone teaching homework one after another and writing down their feelings aroused my curiosity and sense of urgency, and I felt it was necessary for me to hurry up and finish this homework. In fact, for me, who suffers from severe procrastination, calling it a homework is just an excuse. The real idea is that watching movies is not a difficult thing for me, but rather a pleasure sometimes. As a fairly ordinary member of all living beings, on July 24, 2010, a very ordinary day, what were other people on earth doing? I am very curious about this.
Since I owned the first laptop in my life, I have also watched a lot of movies one after another. As I watched more movies, my appreciation level and taste of movies gradually increased (pure narcissism, dissatisfaction). Don't spray), sometimes I watch a movie out of curiosity, or just because of one person. If it's good, it's a dream come true, and if the movie is bad, there will be a feeling of wasting time. I can't help but sigh: there are so many good-looking movies in the world, why is the limited and precious time wasted on such inferior products? (See, I've always been so demanding of other people's work, and always pampered myself.)
For me, "A Day in the Life" is a movie worth watching, and I think I may watch it once or twice in the days to come. I just don't know if it's because of the computer configuration or the Thunderbolt player. The annoying problem that the sound and the picture are out of sync always occurs during playback, which makes me quite frustrated. I can't help but think back to the day on July 24, 2010, where on earth am I? what to do? The sad part is I really don't have the slightest impression, I just judged rationally because it was summer vacation at home or studying for postgraduate entrance exams, taking politics class, but I can't remember the specific details. Maybe you thought it was an unforgettable day, a special moment, but in retrospect it has long been forgotten. Humans are creatures with limited brain capacity and forgetfulness.
The three questions that run through the whole article are: What's in your pocket or handbag? What is your favorite? What are you afraid of?
The film captures the birth of new life, including the birth of a baby, the breaking of a chick’s shell, and the birth of a giraffe; an adolescent boy wearing headphones and drinking beer on an outdoor bench; an idle boy learning how to howl with a wolf; early morning The couples who wake up express their love to each other "I love you!"; everyone has their own routine to do: wake up, roll, stretch, get out of bed, get out of bed to find slippers, wash his face, brush his teeth; the little Japanese boy Taicheng is in his father The 15-year-old shaves for the first time in his life, because he is not used to it, and he scratches his face and bleeds (this is for boys Is it really a moment worth recording?); Vietnamese servants with big baskets on their heads perform ceremonies to honor Vishnu; grandpa who just had major heart surgery expresses deep gratitude to the nurses and doctors who take care of him , "No job is too big or too small. (No job is high or low.)" When you recover, you must enjoy life and do some brave and crazy things.
And the sound of life beating in the mother's belly (two little babies lie head-to-head on the mother's belly and listen to the baby's beating is so lovely.); The middle-aged man driving a Lamborghini is quite proud to say that he There is a set of keys in the pocket with a very cute logo; there are also crazy people who carry dangerous goods such as pistols, syringes, etc. The black boy said that whether you believe it or not, there will always be some crazy people in this world with them. There are some crazy things, and he really said it; there is a man at the bottom of the society with 14 children who can't go out to work, his wife died (I suspect that he died in childbirth), and his eldest son is 20 years old. He is mentally retarded, even so, he said that I am still alive, I will never forget them, and I am still full of devout faith in God. A day of cancer-relapsing mum and incomprehensible tantrum little boy Bobby, and a day of strong and brave dad to his tantrum son: "We're a happy family video." Wife to husband : "My favorite is you two silly boys." The husband said, "I used to be afraid that you would get cancer, but you really had it. Later, I was afraid that your cancer would come back, and you did come back. Now I'm not afraid of anything. I just hope you are alive." He photographed his wife's shocking and horrific back after being intubated for chemotherapy. A healthy family together is the greatest happiness.
热带雨林里，用巨大的树叶搭一个避雨的房子的一家人，对于他们而言，哧溜哧溜地爬上树的顶端是一件再容易不过的事；远赴迪拜打工13年把赚来的钱寄回家的园丁，看到他一个人吃饭的落寞身影，鼻子发酸；打算向心爱的女生表白，遂打电话向妈妈求问，但遭到拒绝的青年；男友向自己求婚的big surprise让女生激动地吻自己的男友，并向镜头展示自己shining的钻戒；在摩西文化中，妻子每天向丈夫下跪是一件天经地义的事，，女人深以为然；丈夫觉得女人就应该尊重自己，因为这是他们的文化（如果对比这个，我觉得我们现在男女相对平等的state实在是太幸福了，是一个巨大的社会进步。）；忙着照顾两个小婴儿的妈妈和总是拿着DV拍摄超喜欢惠特曼诗歌的丈夫，他拍下了惠特曼的诗歌集《Songs of mystery》，说自己的宝贝以后如果学习惠特曼自己会超幸福的；戴上头盔爬人梯罗汉的勇敢小萝莉（这个法国小女孩实在是美翻了，怪不得我还是想要一个女儿，女孩实在是太美好。）；和爸爸一起体验冲浪感受到刺激被吓哭的小男孩（外国的小孩拥有一个喜欢极限运动的爸爸不知道是不幸还是不幸呢，害怕极限运动的我真的不理解啊！）；分居两地只能通过视频聊天约会的青年夫妻，妻子为每一次视频约会认真梳洗、打扮，但他们只能通过简短地通话倾诉衷肠，看着依依不舍摆手道别的女孩和结束后她留下难过的泪水真的有些心痛（异地恋、异国恋、异星球恋都伤不起！）；在一次“Love Parade”中人们陷入了狂欢之中，有至少18个人被挤压致死，但其他人都没有意识到悲剧的发生。
Ou Kwan-yun, a North Korean who has traveled around the world on a bicycle for 18 years, has been to 190 countries so far. He has been hit by cars 6 times, and has undergone 5 operations. It is no surprise to see flies in restaurant dishes. Now, I am also very excited to compare the size of flies in different countries. He said: "Every time I cut my hair, I feel a new look, and after I get my hair cut, he is about to start a new journey. He reminds me of the author of a book I read last year, "If You Don't Go, You Die", a Japanese who travels the world. In any case, whether envious or puzzled, everyone has only one life, and we should respect the choices made by others. He said that the faces of people he had seen in different corners of the earth all these years before his death should have appeared before my eyes. He should be a person who is full of infinite curiosity and longing for the great world. His mission in coming to the world is not to unify South Korea and North Korea, but to see the world he is in. I often panic and feel that other people's lives are wonderful, while my own life is lackluster. (This should be the common thought of many people with eager hearts!) I have been thinking a lot these days. In fact, people's energy, time, and life are all limited, and they can do at most two or three things that they think are amazing. That's enough, so don't just see the shielded world, it's just the tip of the iceberg, the important thing is to have a peaceful and strong heart.
When answering the question "What do you love" and "What do you fear?", many people gave very warm and humane answers, and I was impressed that a climber (he had a Nicolas Cage feeling) said " I'm afraid of losing this place."; a little girl swimming in the pool said "I fear growing up.", a girl said: "I Afraid of robbers and rapists."; A middle-aged woman replied: "I'm afraid of loneliness, I'm afraid of the people I love leaving me, if one day they are gone, I don't know if I can survive, because I'm afraid I don’t want to connect people.” Yes, everyone should be afraid of being alone, but more and more people are unwilling to connect with people. A middle-aged man said, "I am afraid that I will die alone at home, and it will take a week to be discovered."
What kind of secret thoughts and silent expectations are people carrying in the sky-filled Kongming lanterns?
The dazzling fireworks scattered everywhere are extremely beautiful in its short life, leaving a dazzling light.
At the end of the video, the little girl who started the video with 4 minutes left in the day said: "July 24th, 2014, it's almost midnight now, and I'm running out of time to do this. This Saturday, I went to work for a day. , I know it's crazy. It's sad that my day is looking forward to something special, like something beautiful, something to be grateful for, to be a part of myself and show the world that on this ordinary day, An ordinary person can have extraordinary things happen. But the truth is that good things don't happen often. As for me, nothing special happened all day today, I want people to know that I am here, I don't want to think about not exist I'm not sitting here telling you what a good person I am because I don't think I'm that good, not at all, I think I'm an ordinary girl, living an ordinary life, not that kind of Someone worth communicating with, but I want to be that kind of person. And tonight, even though nothing special happened, I feel like I've gone through a nirvana."
I believe the director's cut put this last Don't mean it. In every ordinary day, some people cry, some laugh; some are born, some die; some make a confession, some lose their love; some propose a marriage, some are separated from each other; ; Some people are enjoying life in a Lamborghini, some are struggling for life; some are just a couple on vacation, while some are seeing their father who has not seen them for three years; life is diverse, there are wonderful moving moments, some The comfort of running barefoot in the fountain, the affection of a couple kissing, and the unsolicited pain of illness, but more of an ordinary day without anything worth mentioning, I want to say to the little girl at the end of the film : Darling, don't cry and don't be afraid to live without a sense of existence. For everyone who sees this film, you are the most special existence. "(4118 words)
