First of all, whether the documentary production level is perfect or not is different from whether the protagonist is worthy of respect. As a documentary, although the theme is given, the clues are messy, many of the content are meaningless slow-motion lyrical clips, and the music is also suspected of taking over. After watching the whole movie, I talked about this and that (the development of the two sons, concerns about overfishing, the description of newcomers, returning to their hometown for gatherings, etc.) . Another question is where are the skills that have been honed over a lifetime? Where is the delicious sushi? From the beginning to the end, only "interested parties" cheered, especially the food writer's "Wang Po selling melons", which is quite suspicious. The film too agrees with the advantages of the "Erlang Model", but does not reflect deeply (Is it desirable to focus on work and ignore family members? Emphasize hard work and try again and again, should we seek a more effective way of learning? Delicious ingredients cause high prices, ordinary people How to taste?). Looking at the solemn expressions on the faces of most of the characters in the film, I really don't know how many unknown inside stories are behind it?
But at the same time, I also agree with the serious attitude of the old man. It's a blessing to find joy at work and to persevere. More often (restricted by talent, personality, industry, etc.), when you study and move forward in a field, you will inevitably face confusion and pain. Although the protagonist does not find happiness at work, but he can persevere for decades, how can he be reached by ordinary people?
Lifelong learning and constantly honing your skills may really be the most lacking virtue in this impetuous age.
