oh boy is a black and white film released in Germany in 2012. The movie tells the story of the hero in one day. The scenes of the story take place in the hero's girlfriend's house, in the house just rented by the hero, in the office where the driver's license is checked, next to the ATM, a restaurant, and a filming location. , golf course, subway, the hero's house, the old lady who wants to make bread for him, theater, tavern, hospital, coffee shop. The locations of these important scenes listed should be not far from the house rented by the male protagonist. The stories of the male protagonist all day take place in a city.
The male protagonist is about 25 years old. His father is a successful lawyer. He inherited his father's business. funding. His one-day story included breaking up with his girlfriend, having not reviewed his driver's license, and swallowing his bank card by an ATM machine. . .
I am interested in this movie because I have a cousin who also dropped out of school, maybe the cousin and the hero have similar feelings. I think the director may be trying to insinuate his life of dropping out of school for the past two years through the life of the male protagonist. When his father asked him what he did after dropping out of school for the past two years, he said that he was thinking, thinking about himself, thinking about his father , thinking about it all. When his father said that he had been so half-hearted and anticlimactic since he was a child, and blamed his mother for this, he finally gave him 100 euros and said that he would no longer support his life in the future. He didn't say anything, his expression was aggrieved, hoping to be loved by his father, but he felt that he deserved it. When I saw his expression here, I was a little moved for him, maybe because I thought I would have such an expression anytime, and I felt a little sad. I think he said he was thinking, and probably he was thinking, thinking is a human activity, and it can be easy or complicated. When he is thinking, he is constantly choosing, choosing not to do, choosing what to want. . . But it is a choice and thinking without too much pressure in life.
There is another part of the movie that made a deep impression on me. He reunited with the fat girl who had a crush on him in the past, but this fat girl has become a girl with a perfect body. She said that the male protagonist always knew what he wanted to do. But this seems to conflict with his father's comments about him, who said he didn't do a single thing to the end and didn't know exactly what he wanted to do.
I don't think it's too much of a conflict, because you're constantly choosing what not to do, and from another perspective you know what you want to do. The director may deny something through the male protagonist, deny the meaning of his studies, deny the meaning of other things he has done, and deny the meaning of things he is unwilling to do. But in this process, the bond between people is constantly created, and the connection between people and other people is cut off. . . Maybe life is like this. When you don't find what you want to do, it's good to be a good person.
