#WednesdayMovie# #41 "Treasure Hunter Kumiko"
Recommended star: two stars
Keywords: treasure; hunter; target
It has been said that society is driven by the adventurous few, but there are fewer and fewer adventurers. Adventurers seem to be very out of line with the current era. Although the level of technology and equipment are getting stronger and stronger, at most they are taking risks in games and TV. This kind of spirit is more and more rare in our lives.
1. Black and red
Treasure hunter is a very retro term concept. The stories of these people are basically locked into historical documents. There are no adventurers or rangers in modern times, only staff and leaders.
At work, everyone is dressed in business clothes, and after work, they are all black and white, and the world has fallen into darkness. Everyone is the screw of the company and the unit. It is difficult to find a goal and motivation in such a life.
Some people may not be suitable for this kind of life, Kumiko is not suitable. She wears an eye-catching red sweater every day. She spends her day at work staring at the computer in a daze, pulling the holes in her stockings and distracting herself. After work, she plays cats and looks out the window.
There are not many friends, and the topics of colleagues are not involved and are not interested. She is not an honest, lonely person, she just has a bigger purpose, a bigger world to pursue.
2. Big goals
Kumiko feels that she was born to be a treasure hunter, she collects treasure maps everywhere, and then goes looking for them, hoping that one day she will find the treasure and free her from the boring life.
But on the other hand, she is a 28-year-old office girl who has neither a marriage partner nor any savings. She is often bullied by her boss and colleagues. If there is no treasure in this world, how miserable her world will be.
But no one understands her. The closest mother cares is whether her work appreciates, whether she has a boyfriend or not. Friends don't even care, all she needs is treasure.
She found a videotape in a treasure map, and there was a box of dollars buried at the end of the movie "Frozen", which she thought was her own mission, the treasure of life.
3. The new world
In the old world there were too many institutions and rules, like a cage that trapped people for too long. So she is like a rabbit in a cage. Even if she is released by her master, it is still difficult for her to enjoy her freedom.
But Kumiko didn't believe it. She went to a different place alone. In this world, she no longer needed to go along with other people's words, and she no longer needed to care about other people's eyes. This place was unfamiliar to her, and she was also unfamiliar to others.
Her colors and textures are always derailed from the world. In the new world, although she has received a lot of goodwill, she still stumbles. In the new world, although the language is difficult to understand, the purpose of expression is more real and easy to understand.
We don't need to look at her inner monologue, we just need to look at her life and we will understand. Her actions are pitiful, but not funny. The new world is cold and warm, but what she wants to pursue has not been achieved.
end
Although this film is adapted from a true event, the author chose the most romanticized treatment, which not only deconstructs the confusion of the contemporary hero's journey of self-seeking, but also reflects that people are no longer sensitive to art. The world may no longer need sensitive people, only by disguising oneself, finding trust and support in life and self, so as to make oneself feel balanced.
