The search for a home

Watching the "Future Conference" is very touching. But I couldn't tell what moved me. It's like it's there, but can't be touched. Just like our life, our life, we are always looking for a destination. What is our destination, we can feel it, but we cannot tell the specific content of it. It doesn't seem far away, it's not complicated, it's not out of reach. It seems to be there, within reach, but can't catch it, can't wait. What is the sense of belonging you want, and when will you get it? When you are young, you feel that in the near future, through your own efforts, you will eventually live the life you want. What is the life you want? , I can feel it, but I can't always describe it clearly, rich, free, not so, I always feel that the words don't convey the meaning. Reminds me of my teenage years, yearning for freedom, what is freedom? At that time, I thought that when I watch TV, I want to see what time I want to see, I don’t need to be controlled by parents and teachers, and I will grow up just fine. When I grew up, it seemed that I had the freedom I longed for at that time, but it seemed that there was no freedom. The seemingly better future beckoned to me again. I walked and walked, but the more I walked, the more confused I became. It seems that the beautiful home that I once longed for is not far away, and it seems that I can reach it after just a few steps. That should be the most comfortable time in life, it should be a place that feels like home. But as I walked, I became more and more confused. The destination that I once longed for, although it is not clear, is so clear in my mind, but now it is becoming more and more blurred, and the road in front of me is becoming more and more unclear. I'm getting older and I start to look back. Although I'm not that old, but when I look back, I can feel that feeling. Do we love memories more and more, or is it because we don't dare to look forward to the future? . As you can imagine, in the eyes of an elderly person, the destination of a lifetime is not in the future, but in the past. Like the song "little feet in memory, fleshy little mouth" and "you get old before you have time to appreciate your youth", no matter how hard you used to be or how much you looked forward to the future in your memories. But the time in memory is the destination of his life. When I was a child myself, I went to the playground with my parents and laughed and played games with my parents. When I was young, looking at the cute and innocent child with "the little feet in my memory and the chubby little mouth" in front of me was the destination I wanted. Where is your desired destination, what is it, and when is it? I don't know, I can't articulate, I can only feel it. It seems that it can only exist in future visions and memories forever. It's always so beautiful, it gives people a sense of relaxation when they return to their hometown, and makes people smile with happiness and knowing, but with a touch of sadness.

Speaking of movies, European cartoons represented by France are more artistic than American cartoons. The same goes for the heroine in the film. He has been looking for a home, what is a home? Famous and beautiful in youth, happy time with children in middle age, or relaxing time in old age. It's career, family, or love. The nostalgia and reminiscence of the scenery and beauty in youth, and the care and recollection of children in old age. Along the way, I have been looking for a sense of belonging, but I have never found it. Throughout his life, he has been constantly changing roles and running around. In the film, the heroine finally found her home. In the illusory world, she finally met her long-cherished child, and her child also realized her lifelong dream, everything was beautiful and comfortable. In fact, the film also interprets the destination we have been looking for very well. It makes us confused and want to pursue, but we don't know where to go, and we don't even know what we want. Is it youth, career, good times with kids, or the comfort of retirement? The future is always confused, and the good things are always in the memory. The heroine in the film was middle-aged when she appeared. She was once beautiful, young, beautiful, and charming. It was just reminiscence, the heroine seemed to miss that time, but it was the heroine who voluntarily gave up that kind of life. During the scanning, when her economic person tells the story of the past, it is also a memory, from the perspective of the economic person himself, the past, beautiful, nostalgic, make people laugh, and make people cry. Have we missed our home, or is it still ahead? After that, the movie turns around. Twenty years later, the heroine is also an old woman in her 60s. In the world of animation, she continues to search for a home. What is it? She is old, and she is naturally concerned for her children. Especially for my deaf and blind son. Keep looking, keep looking. Rather than saying that she is looking for her son, it is better to say that she is looking for a sense of belonging. Does he still have relatives in this world? He does not have a husband, and the film does not introduce her to have parents. Her son and daughter are her only relatives in the world, especially her deaf and blind son, which makes her care and rely even more. Think of an old man with no relatives and no support. At this time, her children are her home. Although the people living in the illusory world in the film are suffering in reality, they are very happy and happy in the spiritual world. This also shows that the destination we have been looking for exists only in the spiritual world, and the reality is different. At the end of the film, the heroine finally found a sense of belonging, and it was also in the spiritual world, especially when he reminisced about his life in the spiritual world, everything seemed to be very beautiful. The son who has been caring about has not only grown up, but also realized his own dream, and he can see with his eyes and ears. Doo can hear. They went back to their former home. Everything is so beautiful, even though everything looks so beautiful. But her heart was full of inexplicable sadness. When she whispered Aaron, her eyes were already full of tears. Although I don't know what I'm sad about or what I'm moved by. I can't tell. Perhaps it is the helplessness of life.

    The popular version has castrations and mosaics, which is off-putting, and unfortunately this brilliant rendition of dreams was seen on the iPad. It's actually partly based on Lim's novel.

    After all, "Waltzing with Bashir" is a biopic with a strong story and logic. When it comes to this film, the opening chapter is very critical to the actors and special effects, and the latter involves the topic of science fiction. Between reality, dream and fantasy, it has become another theme, as well as the paranoid pursuit of "freedom". 6.7
