In this city where the strong prey on the weak and fraud everywhere, she listens, writes, and asks for money professionally. These wishes come from all over the place on the crowded and filthy train that she can never get a seat on, to her residence, and they are finally torn down in understatement after her self-entertainment.
When you don't believe in anything, these things really don't exist. Without meaning and value, life is left to live. Although it is like death, it is so stable. It's like a safe balance, others can't get in, and I don't plan to go out. In the whole world, there is only one self whose soul has dissipated, quietly waiting for the day when the body will also go away.
Rather than saying that this balance was broken by an accident, it is better to say that it was shaken by a belief. The wary child sat on the station bench, and with his mother gone, had nothing but a stubbornness more innocent than faith.
If you don't have a heart that's cold enough, don't try to do dehumanizing things. Dora, who couldn't bear the suffering of her remaining conscience, even risked her life to save the child, which was probably something she didn't expect. Her life fell apart like this, she had to take the baby to his dad, and it's always good to have a realistic goal when you don't know where the new balance lies. Without a goal, every walk is wandering.
In the wilderness far away from the city, on the difficult journey, without the pressure of intrigue competition, the child's vigilance and Dora's indifference are relaxed. Whether they like it or not, it is inevitable to share weal and woe at the moment. The child proudly boasted of his father, and Dora even talked about herself to the child, so she ran into the distance in such a messy but delicately balanced way.
No bond is more powerful than what life can bring about, and if coupled with the catalyst of time, its firmness and sense of defense are even more extraordinary. Humans have this instinct, so when the child found out that the relationship between the truck driver and Dora might threaten the conclusion of his relationship with Dora, he used his own advantages to try to scare the truck driver away. There is no doubt that he understands that once there is one more person in the contract, he is most likely to be left out. Although he will not be abandoned, he must know that lively loneliness is more tormenting than a person's loneliness.
One-on-one is the safest and most reliable combination. It has nothing to do with love and family, but the best choice made after the game of nature. Apart from each other, no one else relies on sharing. If you clearly know that separation means being alone from now on, who can really turn around and walk towards a person's old age?
Dora went after the child who ran away because her self-esteem was hurt by her harsh words. She struggled to separate the crowd, running clumsily, looking around from time to time, her expression ranging from anger and anxiety to panic and despair, and her voice from ordinary shouting to hoarseness. When you understand pure and selfless emotions, have a sincere concern, and if you have ever experienced a part of your life disappearing in front of your eyes but you can't do anything about it, then you will feel that this old and ugly woman is a kind of What kind of way is burning, what kind of attitude is pleading. If the price of survival can only be the abandonment of the soul and the loneliness of life, then on the road through many hardships, please allow her to have even a short-lived travel companion, let her know the happiness and warmth of someone walking.
She put on the skirt given by her child, put on lipstick shyly but firmly, looked at the woman in the mirror quietly, and then walked out quietly. Leaving what should be left, and taking away what should be taken away, the lonely back under the bright starry sky and the tearful smile in the light of dawn convey the same relief.
The rocking car will bring her back to her wandering life again, and she doesn't know and maybe doesn't plan to think about how to stop being alone. She took out a pen and paper to write a letter, she said that I was afraid that one day you would forget me, she said that I miss my father so much, I miss all of this, she wrote her name. She was old and ugly and poor and fierce. She smiled and still burst into tears.
Some people say that all the boys hope that when they have nothing, there is a woman who is willing to follow, and all the girls also hope that when they are old and beautiful, there is a man who will not dislike them. I don't know if this is true, but for those who are exhausted and unknown to those who are tortured by life, the happiness of life may not mean that much, maybe it is just a sincere approach, a little patient understanding , a small gift.
And the company of that road.
ps: This is a life-like film, but it is all-encompassing and contains profound philosophical significance, which can be appreciated and understood from many angles. For example, emotions, contracts, human nature, religion, Dora can be seen as the embodiment of the two sides of people, and Dora and the little boy can also be seen as different parts of a complete life, not only beautiful but also attractive. The director's skill is not said, and many details are explained calmly.
With a little personal opinion: After reading it, I was very surprised by the setting of Dora's female companion Irene. Strictly speaking, this character does not need to exist in the plot. Without her, it is more helpful to set off Dora. Pull character surly and withdrawn. But then I found something interesting, that is, at the beginning, the little boy was accompanied (his mother). And Dora is also accompanied (Eileen). It's just that both of them have lost their companions, and at the same time they have formed new companions. This also seems to imply that from the beginning, it shows that Dora and the child actually need a partner in their hearts, so it is logical for the two to join hands. But the child finally has a new partner (his brother), so the balance is broken again, and Dora leaves, which seems to imply that only one-to-one partnership is the most stable, reliable and sustainable. With a third party, the relationship will be tested, and even if the three are partners, they are in an unstable state. Further thinking of reality, whether friendship or love or family, it seems reasonable. Therefore, this review is written from the perspective of longing for companionship and relationship stability. In fact, in life, most companionship relationships are an unstable balance. This is also a kind of human nature: longing for stability but hopeful Development, seeking security but looking for freshness.
