This uniquely produced animated film tells the story of a young man with a little literary temperament who realizes that he has fallen into a dream that never wakes up after a car accident. He went to listen to many people talking in person, and he would also float in the air, overlooking the city, and listen to many people's views on life, history, society, ideas and other aspects with the audience's vision. In the middle of the paragraph, I saw a discussion of the hero and heroine of the "Love Is" series lying on the bed. From this, it can be seen that this animation looks very stream-of-consciousness at first glance, but it is actually well-made. From the appearance of the characters and the tone of their speech, I recognized the protagonist of "Love Is" within 2 seconds, and I felt very surprised.
The content of this film is composed of large sections of speeches and opinions. It is not esoteric, but it also requires an understanding of basic life philosophy. Interspersed among the people who set themselves on fire, the people who gave free speeches while driving with a loudspeaker, the old man crawling on the telephone pole in a daze, and a group of young people who looked like a fool but had a good personality... In these people, you can see that the individual is in the social system. Reflection, resistance and questioning.
An expert said that human history has three lines: biological evolution line, urban development line and humanistic thought line. These three lines intersect and collide, generating all kinds of problems that arise in our individual and society. We struggle to identify and solve problems, and in between, some are existentialists, some are nihilists, some focus on happy and positive fragments of temporal continuity, and some think that parallel worlds live in Another self, and all individuals seem to be controlled by a point (like a novel) a piece of history...
The film does not discuss any of the points involved in people in depth and draw a clear conclusion. From the whole film, it will be found that almost all of the young people's ideas about individual consciousness and social systems are gathered in the middle. . Our thoughts are not as concentrated as in the movie, but we encounter these problems from time to time in our lives. We constantly encounter these problems in reading, talking, and learning, and we will think, seek proof, analogy, and communicate.
It may not be so metaphysical, but combined with the various problems encountered by individuals, we do not lack opportunities and situations to think about. It's just that many of us are busy with "life", and in the framework set by society, we are like guinea pigs walking in a maze, and we don't know what to ask for. The good thing is that it is in a hurry and mediocre, and the ugly thing is that it is undisturbed and walking dead.
Why is the movie "Love Is", a film about falling in love while walking, so highly praised by people, perhaps we are amazed by it, a night of love is not just about love, it contains so many interesting things On the topic, two literary and artistic youths collided in their thoughts under the bond of love, and discussed birth, aging, illness and death, joys and sorrows, history and art, and family figures. This is not about love, but about life at the point of love. How many of us can start thinking about our whole life from one thing. This kind of splendor like fireworks is the charm of thinking.
Chinese people say that "life is like a dream" and "Zhuang Zhou dreams of a butterfly", explaining that without a strong self-awareness, life is like a dream and unreal. If this period of life is just a lucid dream before the person wakes up, it is just a piece of consciousness that leaves the body after death, or even a piece of code that exists in a virtual world like The Matrix. So in this real and imaginary life, how can we extract the value of life? How can we be sure of the meaning of our life?
