rotten life

I recently revisited this movie, and I flipped through the comments while listening to the original soundtrack of the movie on NetEase Cloud. It is interesting that many people said "I look like Madio", but no one said that I looked like Nikolai. Maybe this is also a kind of survivor bias, after all, Madio needs to be released through online comments, while Nicolas are living a busy and fulfilling life.

This is an epic of ordinary people, and in my opinion, it is also a film that explores relationships, the relationship between people, the relationship between family and lovers and strangers, the relationship between people and society, and the different choices of individuals under the torrent of the times.

Madio couldn't handle any relationship, so he just took the initiative to push himself far away, constantly leaving and escaping. He didn't realize at that time that people need a little bit of entanglement in this world. When the last one actively tries The relationship close to him also collapsed, and he died. In the suicide part, the director handled it very well. Madio first went to the balcony to water his flowers and plants. Along with the happy New Year's Eve party on TV, he also took off his shoes on the balcony, and the audience was a little bit reading the film. Everyone will be nervous, this kind of contrast montage method is too obvious, and it will kill people. However, then he turned around and closed the balcony door and went back to the house. You breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the director was just toying with you, thinking that Madio was used to being alone, this New Year's Eve was nothing but an ordinary one for him. The lonely night is not a problem. Then, there was the New Year's Eve party, fireworks, and a montage of the family gathering on the other side. Madio said "Happy New Year" to the host on the TV, and walked to the balcony calmly. At this time, you thought he was just going out to watch Looking at the fireworks, he turned over without any hesitation.

Director, you are too bad.

On the other hand, Nikolai, the spokesperson of "peace&love", followed his girlfriend radically when he was young, but he was young. At that time, young people all over Europe were fighting for their lives. Nikolai witnessed violent conflicts and bloodshed with his own eyes. There are so many strong hate things, but there are many strong love people. The hate things have not improved, and the loved ones are scarred. This has a huge impact on Nikolai's heart. Although the tutor (envy other teachers who can say such things will not be jubao by students, and once again amused by the popularity of hanging someone's portrait in Europe at that time, I don't say too much TMD, let's say this text will be jubao) in his mouth, Italy is a "nothing" A country of hope", anyway, people still have basic judicial justice, since there is a channel to work hard through the rules and systems, Nicholas is not willing to shed blood. He brought the group of mental patients to court time and time again to fight lawsuits. He did not target broad human beings, but only started to rescue the mental patients represented by Qiao Zhen, who he cared about. He didn't even think of the word "salvation". This word belonged to Madio, to Achilles, to the realm of the gods, and Nicholas based on the human world.

Most of us can neither be Madio nor Nikolai, neither care about human beings nor know how to love the specific people around us, neither have the courage to jump, nor the warmth and tolerance, the calmness and freedom. live this life.

I am the majority of people, and I do not have a brilliant life, so I will gradually rot in this world.
