To us who lost our souls by walking too fast.

We are always chasing freedom, and for that we are cynical, nervous and never stop. We paid a huge price for it, even though we may not even know it.
Fortunately, there are four such people in our lives, one named Jean-Dominique Bobby, one named Amelie, one named Danny Baldman T.D. Lemon 1900, and one unknown. man. Well, those are just names, and while there are long and short ones and people who don't have names at all, the stories are connected in one way or another.

Bobby is the protagonist of "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly". He was originally the editor-in-chief of a famous French fashion magazine. He had wealth, fame, family, children and lovers. . In layman's terms, this disease is a severe stroke. From then on, Bobby's entire body is like being trapped in a diving bell, unable to move or even breathe on his own. And when he decided to accept this fate, his imagination began to soar like a butterfly, and he began to feel everything that he couldn't feel and think about before. So he decided to share it all, using the only tool he had left to communicate with the outside world—his left eye, selecting the letters on the letter board, blinking once for "yes", twice for "no", and so on Difficulty but passionately recorded it all.
Amelie is the heroine of "Angel Amelie". She was mistaken by her father for having a heart attack since she was a child, so she was deprived of the right to communicate with her peers, play and go to school. She was always alone, living in a depressing atmosphere. in neurotic families. However, or it should be said that because of this, she is full of curiosity about all the details that are difficult for others to notice. She is smart but simple, infecting and helping others like an angel, her kindness and tolerance make everything around her It seemed so relaxed and happy. Her imagination is even more breathtaking—a simple missed date with a crush can be imagined by her as the result of a series of natural and man-made disasters, accidents, kidnappings (and international kidnappings).

Don't worry, I'm not trying to praise their perseverance with a straight face, but I can't help but wonder why the more deprived of freedom and happiness in our eyes, the more transparent and free their souls are?

The 1900 can explain it all for us.
1900 is the protagonist of "The Pianist at Sea". He was born on the ship, adopted on the ship, grew up on the ship, became a genius pianist on the ship, and died on the ship. He had never set foot on land in his life, and if he was willing to disembark, he could have avoided the end of the poor ship, but he never did. He said, I can play all kinds of wonderful music, because the piano has 88 keys, it is limited, and I am unlimited, the limited 88 keys can allow me to find endless inspiration, land can not, because It has no end, like a piano with an infinite number of keys, if the keys are infinite, how can I play it? That's not my piano, it's a piano that God can play.

To be at a loss is to be at a loss. We can't always be satisfied with what we have. When we have one thing, we can't wait to pursue the next one. We experience more and more, but we don't know where the end is. Over time, we gradually forget what we want, gradually lose our imagination, lose our ability to perceive beauty, and lose our soul. But Bobby and Amelia lost what we got, and gained more of what we lost, what is truly precious.

The last story, one of many short stories in "Paris, I Love You", is about a man who wants to divorce his long-term wife and marry his lover, and is tired of her all kinds of unbearable things. Habits, even though those habits were what attracted him in the first place. But unfortunately, before he broke up, his wife told him that he had a terminal illness. So he parted with his lover and continued to live with his wife, everything they did was the same as before, everything he had long been bored with, but no longer bored when he thought that this would be the last time in his life to do so , Slowly, it all became unusually warm and precious, and when he found that the ordinary life turned out to be so beautiful, his wife passed away.

"We walked so fast that we lost our souls." This is the most talked about line in "Days on the Clouds". When I was a student, I copied it on the wall because I liked its appearance. When I was on, I didn't feel its meaning as much as I do now. I believe that freedom is the most beautiful thing in the world, but we often imprison our souls in pursuit of physical freedom. I finally understand why I love 1900 so much, because unlike everyone else, he saw through it before he lost his freedom, so he lost his body and grabbed his soul.

------ More like the dividing line of the commentary than the above------- The

choice to watch "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly" was on a sleepless night, and the original purpose was to borrow a perhaps bland and delicate film. Literary pieces evoke drowsiness, but unexpectedly they are attracted instead. If you look at the introduction of the film alone, it looks like an inspirational movie - it tells the story of how a man who has suffered a severe stroke and whose whole body can only move his brain and left eye fights the disease. What a good subject matter, if it were handed over to a director in Asia, it might even be made into a controversial literary film - how a person is trapped in a body that is completely immobile, how can one step in such a terrifying enclosed space Stepping toward despair, collapse, and demise—maybe the main character will commit suicide after being unable to withdraw from the role.
It is a pity, or fortunately, that this protagonist fell into the hands of the American director Julian - of course, the key is not that he is an American director, but that he is a painter. The artist's unique perspective and way of thinking determine his uniqueness . And so our protagonist is so endearing throughout, still joking even as he expresses his pain. Laughing at pain requires more than a sense of humor. So, I like to associate it with Amelie, because they both play down the suffering and magnify the good.

    The crashed glacier returned to its original position, and the diving bell was light as a butterfly.
