Fortunately, Julie chose this theme to shoot, which made me insist on watching this film. Just like there are many singers who are not very good at their own level, but they just met a cute song, and then they became famous because of this good song. Fortunately, the story itself is very informative, so people can barely finish it in the theater. Of course, while the story is informative, it also contrasts Julie's lack of director talent.
Just recently, two films made me fall asleep while watching in the cinema. One is "One Step Away" by Jiang Wen, and the other is "The Hobbit". One is incomprehensible, and the other is only scenes without thoughts. Why are movies made like this now, so I really don’t want to blame Julie again, after all, she is still a star I admire very much, she is beautiful, smart, brave and has a unique personality.
It's just that a movie with a large time span and a complicated plot is not something she can easily control, and her choice of narrative angle and focus is not very appropriate, so the spatial transformation of the movie is very blunt and weird, and the whole movie is dull and tasteless.
Movies are condensed art. Only when the key points are expressed in a limited time can the film have enough impact and sublimate ideas.
The film mainly narrates the hardships suffered by Louis in the war, interspersed with some of his childhood past. The more ink is on the part of survival at sea and the experience after being captured by the Japanese army. Survival at sea is a bit procrastinated. The contradiction between the Japanese military camp and the Japanese military officers is the main line. Julie regards physical torture and suffering as the thing that can best shape the character. As an Olympic long-distance running champion, his physical fitness and willpower should be superior to ordinary people. Of course, he can survive so much throughout the war. Survival of the torture is not easy in itself. But what struck me even more shocked was that when I saw the introduction at the end of the film, I found that this old man actually lived to be 97 years old. He did not live in a pampered environment. He had experienced a long and cruel war, and the physical and mental torture suffered during the war. Will it affect his post-war life in China? In the decades from the end of the war to his death, what kind of impact did those things he experienced had on his mind and spirit? How did he return to a normal life from the war? The most valuable thing for a person is not only persistence and patience, but also a kind of self-transcendence and transformation, which is letting go, tolerance and forgiveness. How did he survive so many painful experiences and still live a healthy life, even living better and longer than those of us who have not experienced any suffering. I don't have time to read the original book yet, but I have decided to buy a copy right away, because I really want to understand Louis's entire spiritual growth and transformation.
Sometimes, we feel that letting go, forgiving, and forgiving seems to be a simple matter. In fact, it is not the case. I think Louis, like many injured people, will have a huge mental shadow. The physical injury can slowly recover, but the mental injury is invisible but deeper and more permanent. Especially to forgive a person who has deliberately seriously hurt you. How can you do it without a broad mind and an attitude of relief? ! Hate is just a sharp sword that pierces your heart, so you can't let go of the painful past experience all the time. There are many things that people are not born with and can do. Sometimes life gives you a lot of suffering. We feel that we can’t do it and can’t continue. We will occasionally shrink, hesitate, and be confused, but we must grit our teeth and persevere. . I have always believed that faith and willpower can create many miracles. I also believe that people can continue to suffer, reflect and realize in the repeated suffering and torture.
I have always felt that life is a process of suffering. This process is a process of continuous improvement, challenge, and surpassing oneself. At the end of life, some people have reached the peak of life, and some people just walked through their lives in a bland way. Every life is meaningful. Some people have lived the life they want to live. Although some people have left many regrets, they have experienced many ups and downs in their lives. There are many meanings in life, and the meaning is not someone else. Judgment, meaning is free in each of us. In Buddhist terms, life is a long practice. Each of us is an ascetic one after another, constantly experiencing physical and mental torture, and walking slowly on the road of life. Faced with the cruelty and unpleasantness of life, we can be willing to face it, and then accept it, without complaining about ourselves, or others. Then, this is a beautiful life.
