I also wanted to be a good person for a long time.

The second day of Qingming Festival.
Nested in the dormitory and finished watching half of last night's remaining Brazilian film - "Central Station".
Throughout the film, I was guessing what the language that was somewhat similar to Spanish was. After watching the film, I finally found out that it was Portuguese when I habitually looked for movie reviews.
After reading a few film reviews, this time I didn't have any feelings for me, so I had to write my own feelings. If there is something inappropriate, the right will be bullshit, and Bo Jun will just smile.
Many people may feel that Dora lives a selfish, indifferent, self-righteous "God"-like "judgment" of all letters. This reminds me of Cape Seven. The young man played by Fan Yichen who has almost collapsed (perhaps I'm being too serious, but that's what I want to say.) is also like this, hiding all the letters. The final outcome also seems to be the same way. After some twists and turns, the teenager found the old lady of Cape No. 7 and quietly put the letter beside her, while Dora took the believer and traveled all the way as a postman to deliver the letter in person. sent to the destination.
Actually they are not bad. Trust me, they just lived in the shadows too long for no reason to be better.

After Dora's frozen heart was warmed by Josue, she was finally willing to tell what she cared about. An alcoholic father, a cheating father, a weak mother, a mother who died young. In this series of changes, she has lost her trust in people, and it is difficult to believe in the beauty of human nature. That's why she sneered inwardly when she saw those people who were going to send letters to so-and-so who were running the train with their mouths full of words (even if someone was telling the truth like Ana); that's why she had been alone and couldn't accept anyone's reason. She is the loneliness, the loneliness that voluntarily keeps away from the crowd, and the loneliness that mocks all human emotions (missing, desire, etc.).

They thought it would go on like this, but there was a turning point. If someone says her intolerance is an accident, I agree. But I prefer that it is inevitable. Her truth, goodness and beauty did not disappear, but she was sealed in a thousand-year-old ice coffin, waiting for someone to open the magic circle and redeem it. The stubborn and characterful Josue is that mage.

She began to take him to escape, or to seek. The writers made the whole process gentle ups and downs. Penniless several times, and several times met a turning point. Human nature also rebounds in the process of changing and warming up, which is why Dora cursed when she first wanted to get rid of Josue and learned that she lost "a lot of money", I believe she must have regretted it a little at that time; That's why she complained again after her subsequent setback at the pilgrimage site. But fortunately, these negative emotions were all turned into damping vibrations because of little Josue's comfort, and finally returned to zero.

In the process of getting along with Little J, she gradually began to regain her desire for the truth, goodness and beauty of human nature and true love, and made a brave attempt. However, the truck driver chose to flee in the face of such a frank confession. During the entire viewing process, I always expected that this was just a foreshadowing, and I always expected the screenwriter to explain the reason, but this was left blank. I can only guess for myself, maybe Dora was moved because no one could treat her well at any cost for too long, and maybe the driver had been on the road for too long and had become too afraid to stop. Anyway, this little twist made Josue learn to comfort Dora clumsily, and also let him start really cares about her. If I can jump into the movie at this time, I really want to say "Come on" to Dora, getting rid of the habit of loneliness is a comparison It is a more difficult and long-term process to get multiple doctorates across the border, "all u need is keeping trying."

However, no amount of intersections can change the reality of their own life.

Josue's parents really love and miss each other, Josue's brothers are not alcoholic and friendly, and Josue's home is always waiting for him to come back (this is not explicitly explained in the film, but I think so).


"Then what about me, I should go back too."

Dora was different at this time. In fact, it was different when she taught Josue not to steal and steal food for him. She began to try to convey the correct view of right and wrong to Xiao J like a teacher. And when he had cognitive dissonance, he chose to break rules again to save two people's hunger. Kind of like trying to keep him from ever stepping into the adult world of deceit and cunning she was exposed to. This kind of burden reminds me of an interesting question on Zhihu, "What exactly is love?" On

the bus leaving, Dora put on a new dress, put on lipstick, with a new look, and a A revived mind, set foot on the road of return. Maybe she'll go back to Rio to be punished, or maybe she'll travel the world with the money she sells. BUT,,,,,,ANYWAY, she already had a reason to be a good person, from the moment she boarded the bus.


There are many kinds of love.
"Love is like suddenly having a weakness

and an armor."

Dora is gonna be a gladiator,
maybe for Josue, maybe for herself.

    such a one. . The boring movie was made very interesting. The interesting thing about the road movie is that you can meet all kinds of strange people and things. In addition, the setting of the two protagonists' thoughts is very good, real and touching.

Central Station quotes

  • Dora's Client: [dictating a letter with her son] Dear Jesus, You're the worst thing to happen to me. I'm writing because your son Josue asked me to. I told him you're worthless, and yet, he still wants to meet you.

  • Isadora: If you ever miss me, take a look at our little portrait. I say this because I fear that you'll forget me as well. I miss my father. I miss everything. Dora.
