After watching this movie, I always feel like I want to say something. Feeling a little heavy, I suddenly felt: I have no life experience, I can't understand the life in this movie.
The hero is Vincent who is bold and careful, who dares to fight, the cousin Anton who is full of ideals and doesn't want to mess around, and the female boss Ava who has a strong desire to control. Life is full of situations, shouldn't the ending be the protagonist's efforts to achieve his ideals? Not really. Inspirational first, then anti-chicken soup, this is the life of most of us. In the end, in the rain, the two brothers sat together to enjoy the rain and think about the scene of life. They wanted to say everything but were speechless. Worth a look. The male lead is very good.
After watching the movie, I read some movie reviews online, and many people said that hard work is important, but choice is more important. Choice outweighs effort. Undeniably, this sentence has his point. But we are more ordinary people, and it is difficult for us to find our own direction. Many of us have read a lot of inspirational books by celebrities, but who among us can find that direction in today's era, grasp the dividends of the era and become the second Jack Ma?
The biggest tragedy in life is that no one can guarantee that they will find the right direction. There are too many examples of such failures, and what seems to be the right direction may not be able to withstand the test of time and the market, such as OFO bicycles in the sharing economy.
From the perspective of God, we saw that Vincent and his brother Anton chose the wrong direction, but we ignored a fact that was casually mentioned in the movie: microwave communication technology is difficult to achieve in the short term. Anton believes that the core of the pulse-shaping algorithm will take several years to break through, and even if this technology is developed, it may be eliminated by laser communication technology. Therefore, based on this fact, Vincent and Anton decided to use the method of pulling the network cable to break through the extreme, breaking the limit of the current technology in the short term, breaking through 16 milliseconds, and seizing the market opportunity. If we are male protagonists, did we choose this method wrong? correct. Our cognition determines that we can only choose this path. Although the key barrier of microwave communication technology was broken in the later period, this was not solved by the technical team of the female boss Ava, but was done theoretically by a college student. It is an accident. Can we predict the accident? can not. If the student does not break this barrier, then the successful one will be the male protagonist. Is the hero a pity? pity. A man is often more emotionally attached to something he has lost than he has acquired it. At this moment, Vincent saw the microwave signal towers and the 11-millisecond victory declaration written by his opponent at the construction site. His ideals were shattered, he lost his ideals and goals, and at that moment he felt that his life was a joke. He had nowhere to vent his emotions and could only mindlessly pick up the chainsaw to do some damage, but he still fell.
But life is like this, even if you push the limit, sometimes it is just a foil for the successful.
Watching this movie, I see our own shadows in Vincent and Anton. At this moment, you and I may be an entrepreneur, or an employee working for a certain boss. We are faced with chicken soup for the soul all day, and we work hard, but we are not able to withstand the cruelty of life. We work hard, but it may not be in the right direction. No matter how much we do, it may not be able to match the entrepreneurial bosses who grasp the tuyere industry. We choose, but we may not necessarily choose the right path. We have seen promising entrepreneurial projects, and have experienced the baptism of the market and time, but found that this path will not work. The only thing we can do is keep doing it. Maybe one day we will have an epiphany in life, like Vincent and Anton sitting in the warehouse admiring the rain, wanting to say everything but speechless.
Life is so unreasonable.
PS: Thanks to the Douyin platform "Uncle Niu Said Movies", I can see that this movie originated from Uncle Niu's wonderful commentary.
