One pain: the pain of losing a child, the white-haired person sends the black-haired person. The lady owner of the restaurant said: Cherish the time with your daughter, they will not necessarily outlive you.
Second pain: loss of fundamental living ability. Grandpa's friend was unfortunately attacked by a wild bear. After that, he couldn't take care of himself and could only rely on others.
Three pains: the departure of a partner. After the little girl's father died in a car accident, her grandmother abandoned her grandfather and married someone else. Grandpa couldn't let it go. When he taught the lover of the little girl's mother, there is nothing more tragic than the woman who has been clinging to abandon you, leave her! Grandpa could not let go of this complicated emotion, which was compounded by the pain of his wife's betrayal after the loss of his son.
Four Pains: The Pain of Guilt. The girl's mother fell asleep while driving, killing her husband. Only she knows how painful she is. However, in the face of life and children, she can only choose to continue to be strong, and in the face of resentment, she can only keep her dignity.
The cruel part of life is not to leave, but to face the departure, but still have to remember the original life. When a loved one passes away, we don't believe that he will leave, and there are shadows of him everywhere in our lives; we cannot let go of the separation of lovers, eat, go shopping, cinema, wherever there is you, there is him. We always feel powerless and powerless in the face of these pains.
Before the mother and daughter returned to the ranch, the grandfather and his friends depended on each other for life. They took care of his food and daily life every day. The first sentence when I saw him every morning was: What did you dream about last night? Friends will say: I dreamed of the sea, I dreamed of the bear and so on. . . Because of that bear, he doesn't even have the power to be a normal person. I can only comfort him and ask him what dreams he has had. Maybe he can live and dream is a kind of happiness.
After the mother and daughter returned to the ranch, the grandfather believed that the daughter-in-law had killed his son, and he had always expressed hostility to the daughter-in-law, and was harsh to the little girl, saying that they were not welcome. Until a friend asked him: Are you still dissatisfied with your daughter-in-law? Since they have returned here, why are you still doing this? All I'm doing is living and you're complaining about why you can't live the life you imagined!
Yes, complaining that you can't live the life you imagined, how many of us are living such a life in real life... We have to think, in the face of life, are we asking too much?
So, the grandfather let go and tried to face it. The stubborn daughter-in-law took her granddaughter to the female boss's house. The granddaughter was dissatisfied with her mother's authoritarian attitude and curious about rural life and returned to her grandfather, who taught her to drive and teach her to drive. Riding a horse and teaching her to milk cows. I think the child's unrestrained life belongs to nature. The reality has made her lose a lot, but her grandfather made up for her lack. The bravery of the little girl, like her father, also moved her grandpa.
However, he has a friend and was attacked by a wild bear. How can he let go? Complain to God? The wild bear was caught by the zoo and visited. Grandpa brought his friend to the zoo to see the bear that injured him. At the moment when the friend was on crutches and looked at the bear, the bear only knew how to eat, bask in the sun, and sleep, as if resentful It also seemed even more powerless. How he hated it, it was just a bear. Later, my friend said to my grandfather: I don't hate it, it just does what a bear should do, I shouldn't disturb it when it eats, it's just to defend its food.
After that, the grandfather and granddaughter planned to drive the truck to rescue the bear, so that the wild bear could return to nature and be itself. Grandpa's friend is also relieved.
A dramatic scene happened. Because of the granddaughter's carelessness, they failed to put the bear in the cage that was about to be released. The wild bear ran away and ran to the gate of the ranch on the way up the mountain. It happened that grandpa's friend was at home alone. At that time, he really got a friend for him. After sweating, he was injured by a bear and finally died in the hands of a bear. Grandpa's friend and the bear looked at each other. The bear was ready to attack. Just as the bear was approaching step by step, grandpa's friend closed his eyes and wanted to die. It was fate, who knew that the wild bear would give up and go up the mountain. Looking at the bear, it thinks it is about to attack and prepare to fight. If it didn't look at the bear and grab the food in its hand, the bear would not hurt anyone.
Going back to real life, did we intervene in many things first, interfering with its own natural laws, and finally we were punished, so we hated, the essence of hatred may be that the thing itself just conforms to its natural laws .
How revealing, how plain and realistic, how profound a film, the director has a lot of meanings in it...
Finally, grandpa and his friends, daughter-in-law and granddaughter live happily on the farm, and a new life begins. When we face the pale and powerless in life, it is better to choose those beautiful things that we can get close to.
