When I was young, the definition of love was that it had to be hot, noisy, and lively like the sunshine at noon in July. But this movie gave me a new definition of love.

For a long time, the perception of Indian movies has been unrestrained dancing and happy singing. Even after setbacks, they must end with a happy ending. This seems to have become a paradigm for Indian movies. But this movie gave me a... Indian love in a life that fits Indian culture. Of course, movies tend to be unreal, but at least this time it's one step closer to reality.
In my memory, one of the most distinctive symbols about Indian culture comes from Aamir Khan's documentary variety show "Truth Interview" - a skinny old man spent decades in the mountains in order to make the way out of the village easier. A path was dug in between. An ordinary person can put his family and career aside for a simple dream, and insist on it for decades, just to get closer to his dream.
Such a kind of story, in China is defined as blood, but in India is defined as a kind of practice. These practitioners' cognition of "dream" lies not only in the desire to enjoy the joy of achieving success, but also in the further understanding of themselves obtained in the process of practice, and the insights obtained when interacting with others in the way of dreams.
Dan in the play is pure, confused, and passionate. He is an intern in the society (that is, a five-star hotel), but he has always been reluctant to give up his innocence and unwilling to compromise. And this persistence brought him to the brink of a desperate situation where he could not survive. At this moment, Shu Li's injury seemed to give him a chance to breathe. Her sentence "Where's Dan?" before she fell into a coma made him feel that it had something to do with him, and that he had an obligation to take care of her. At first, it was just an accident in his spare time, but gradually, the heaviness of life made Dan feel a deep responsibility, and Dan's kindness made him unable to walk away. But Dan's stupidity makes him realize the difference between "Take care of Shuri" and "Take care of Shuri". He didn't know what to do or what he could do. He can only constantly communicate and ask others for advice. Doctors, nurses, cleaners, and doormen are all his learning objects.
Some people say that the results are not satisfactory and Dan's efforts are in vain, but I want to say, isn't this learning and growth a result?
Buddhism emphasizes epiphany, but epiphany is by no means sudden, it is a process of accumulating strength in the process of life growth, moving forward in setbacks, persevering in hardships, not forgetting the original intention in joy, etc. , so stick to it little by little. The so-called epiphany is nothing but a momentary accumulation. Dan's epiphany was not a wish he made when he woke up one morning, but a direction accumulated during a long period of confusion, persistence, and accusations.
Finally, about Dan's guide, you can say it is love, or it can be said to be at a loss in the confusion. In the dark place of the 90,000-mile sky, in the depths of the lonely dreamland of all things, there will always be a voice singing in silence.
