still "alive"

I remember that around 2000, when DVDs were not very popular, a friend of mine bought a DVD player. Once, I went to his place to watch discs. I saw "Alive" for the first time. I remember it very clearly. After that, I was silent for a while, and then shouted: "Okay."
A few days later, I bought a DVD of "Alive" and collected it. Later, I got my own DVD player, and I was the first to take out "Alive". , is a test machine! After that, every time I watch it, I have a different experience.
"Sai Weng lost his horse, how can I know it's not a blessing" lost the house and saved his life; the home was broken, the daughter-in-law came back, and she didn't die on the battlefield, but the daughter was dumb; the shadow puppet was saved, but the son was gone; ...that's life, it's like a sine curve, with ups and downs! Gains and losses!
Whenever I am in a bad mood and feel lost, I always think of "Alive". After watching it, my mood will always be much calmer. No matter how unhappy our ordinary life is, what is your experience compared to wealth? I always console myself like this. Maybe it's because I've watched too much, people ask me, what's so good about "Alive"? Maybe I really don't know how to answer, it's just a feeling, I like it. What is a good movie? Everyone's answer is different, and everyone has their own understanding, but if a movie can always encourage you and resonate with you, it should be a good movie! You and I are still "alive"
