The sad metaphors behind the fairy tales

The attraction of "Happy Voice" actually came from the 45-second commercial before iQiyi watched the video, because that was precisely its trailer. I admit that I was totally fascinated by Johnny's "stay with me", which was only 4 seconds long, but was very soft. So when "Happy Voice" went online in the school lecture hall, I couldn't wait to buy a ticket.
Regrettably, that song was not fully sung in the movie, only one or two lines were sung in the audition scene. The amazing thing is that when I have never listened to this song and there are no sensational scenes in the movie, I actually had a physiological reaction, crying and getting goose bumps all over my body. This is something that has never happened before.
But this is not what I want to say most.
The night I just finished watching, I was still detesting myself, and I was not a small person. How could I be so easily crying by the chicken soup of a cartoon?
The next day, I always felt that I should write something for the tears I shed. After thinking for a long time, I felt that if I still write about ideals and reality, life and dreams, then I can only write a composition for elementary school students.
In fact, there is a design in the movie that made me think about it for a long time. That is when Lucita did not hire a nanny in order to participate in the rehearsal. She mobilized her ingenuity and built a set of machinery to replace her to wake up the children, make breakfast, wash the dishes, and tell her husband about the car. The location of the key, take the schoolbag for the child to go to school, and tell the child a bedtime story at night. I remember that people in the entire movie theater were laughing, especially the children, and of course I was included. However, the plot of the movie later made me unable to laugh: it wasn't until that set of machinery had a problem, that the orderly and uniform life like a well-written program suddenly fell into chaos, and Lucita's husband Norman realized that , The child's mother is gone.
Excellent irony, sad metaphor, reveals the materialization of people.
What Norman actually needs is not a wife who is passionate about music and loves life. What he needs is a wife who can take good care of his 25 children. By the way, he can tell him where the car keys are in the morning. When he comes back in the evening, he can. A machine that gave him a piece of cake and didn't give him any trouble. Even the kisses he gave her were perfunctory.
However, this cannot be entirely blamed on him. Norman is doing this because he is just a materialized part of his job, living an equally lifeless and unchanging life.
That night he said between half asleep and half awake: "It's all the same, every day is the same. I really don't know how you survived such days."
Maybe people will tell the truth when they are sleepy and drunk.
What's more sad is that the people who are objectified in the movie are not the only two of Lucita and his wife.
There is also Johnny, for his father, he is the walkie-talkie, he must be on call, and he must be with him at all times to take risks, whether he wants it or not. Once he was unable to do this, his father thought of giving up the child.
The thing I feared the most since I was a child was to disappoint the people I cared about.
So when Johnny’s father fell off the phone and left in prison, I really understood Johnny’s mood: the music he loved the most in his life was not recognized by his father. However, although his father objectified him, he did not regard his father as an object. Although his father was a heinous gang boss, and even though his father never gave him real respect and understanding, his father is still his father, and the blood is thicker than water. That's why he deliberately stole the prize of "100,000", but when he saw "very outstanding" on his entry form, he retreated from the cliff, put down his butcher knife, and played the piano. At that time, he was really a singer with a soul.
And ashe, what her boyfriend doesn't need is an independent and talented girlfriend, but an object that exists only to set off him and only compliments his music. Once Ashe couldn't do this, he thought of giving up this girlfriend and looking for another one, which could be Betsy, Amy, Ruth, etc.
There is even Yue Bole, but he is not personified, he has materialized himself. He equated himself with the big theater, so when the once glorious theater collapsed behind him, he felt that his life was over. He thought that he valued theater because it was a dream his father used all his savings to buy for him. However, he turned his father’s hope of pursuing his love in his heart into his own shackles, which made him love theater. Everything turned into loving that building.
Mina can be said to be an unobjectified person, so I also think she is the luckiest person. She has a group of families who love her, and they do not love her because of how good or how good she is, but just unconditional love.
So, I think, what impresses me is that the characters in the movie get rid of this sad struggle and hard work, as well as the freedom and sorrow after getting rid of it.
When Lucita took off her housewife costume and put on a sexy black dance dress, Lucita on the stage was like a coquettish and beautiful queen, attracting thousands of people and igniting the passion of the audience. So that Norman couldn't believe that it was an ordinary wife who had lived by his side for many years. The deep kiss he gave after rushing to the stage was no longer perfunctory.
When Johnny's father escaped from prison like King Kong, desperately fleeing in a city full of tall buildings and brightly lit, I really cried miserably. Johnny's father was indeed a desperate man, but he used to be desperate for money, this time it was for his son. The meeting between him and Johnny outside of everyone's sight was really moving. The father knew who he was. He blocked the bloody storm and danger behind him, but he only wanted to give his son a peaceful blessing, and not add a touch of embarrassment to his son in the world of others.
Ashe finally stopped appearing as a accompaniment to her boyfriend. The stage belongs to her alone, she can play her own music alone, she can overturn the scene alone, make Betsy in front of TV jealous, and make her ex in front of TV obsessed upside down. Since then, no one can try to hide her light anymore.
Yue Bole passively picked up the old car washing business and wiped the car with her fur, but because she didn't want to do it at all, it was impossible to do it well. When his good friend Eddie opened the zipper to reveal a soft white wool, I was really touched. It turned out that Eddie is not a heartless rich second generation. My friend's indomitability, Mina's heart song, made Yue Bole stand up on the ruins. What if there is no building? I don't care about this.
In fact, we are all being characterized by ourselves or him, but this kind of transformation in the movie can be very conceptual, but it is not in life.
This may make me more uncomfortable.
