Empathy and love are closely related, and a life knows that it is not alone in this world, but that another life accompanies it in the depths of the soul in this alien The world is redemption. And "Love Short" is a film about connection. After filtering out the curious factor, the act of "peeping" may better reflect our attention to the peeping object. In the film, the male protagonist has a crush on the goddess and tries to be with the goddess who is across the glass curtain wall across the apartment at all times. In the one-way peeping stage, he ate buttered bread with the goddess at the same time, trying to connect the two who could not be hit by eight poles. And making fake bills and delivering milk is a pass to the world where the goddess lives. In that crying scene, the goddess was hurt and went back to the apartment alone, and took out the bottle to accompany her - she was accidentally knocked over. White milk turned over the table. The milk bottle was handed over to her by the male protagonist who had a crush on her, playing the role of "present", breaking through the inner space that the male protagonist could not enter, and acting as an emotional intermediary for the male protagonist. She knows nothing about the origin of the bottle, and the bottle can't speak, just as the male protagonist who is witnessing all this can't do anything for her to make her feel better. He can only stab himself with an awl to carry out the empathy to the end, as if he was nailed to the cross to bear the burden of all mankind's sufferings of Christ Jesus. Not abandoning the suffering of others is love.
Because I have had a similar experience with the male protagonist, the first half of the film (the male protagonist's one-way peeping stage) has a strong sense of substitution. But although the ending is different later, it also experienced the mixed feeling of the moment when the egg shell broke from the "physical world" and finally came into contact with the fresh air. The protective cover like an egg shell is broken, and finally you can no longer just send a one-sided signal through a cold telescope, your attention has also been noticed, and in the world of the goddess is also given by the goddess meaning. Finally, in the so-called real world, you are here for the first time in the true sense of "being together". But at the first moment of breathing the air in the real world, in addition to the pleasure brought by the fresh and real air, the happiness that comes from the resonance of the mind and the "being together", the secret is now two people work together to keep it together, and finally you don't have to be alone anymore. I was so relieved... Unexpected things also appeared - why is there a smell of rotten eggs in the "real air"? Why is the earth still round when two unequal people are together? By the way, who can tell me what's going on with that armpit hair, can goddesses also have armpit hair? Invisible bacteria in the air stain your face. At this time, in addition to wanting to end all this as soon as possible (this is tantamount to suicide), more often I retched on the toilet and nauseated.
The concrete world in reality (or the world shown as flesh in the film) and the rational world (in the film it is presented as a spiritual thing, let’s call it love, in fact, I think it’s more obscenity). Exactly, not discussing) not only is it incompatible, but it is basically going in two directions. People in the concrete world live according to the principles of sensibility, spend time in their desires, and rely on their experience to shape the most enjoyable way to meet their desires. To do these things is to betray the soul more or less, to betray the soul is to betray God, and to betray God is sin. On the other hand, people in the rational world live according to what they think they are, but they encounter a wall in reality and are constantly told that there is an objective reality that is independent of human will. This is because of the lack of human beings. Human beings are limited and depend on conditions to exist. If these people can't transcend this world, they can only downgrade their ideals to adapt to reality to survive, and compromise to become a member of the muddy world in the concrete world. Either hit the rocks in the real world and only commit suicide. The goddess and the male protagonist are the typical representatives of these two types of people. The male protagonist said "I love you", but he is not a person from the world. How should we love each other? If he was really ridiculed, he would have to choose a path between compromise or suicide.
Living in a concrete world is very lonely and boring. No one knows and no one is really sad when she dies. A life without roots floats by itself, and when another life pulls her through various forms of connection, she can Witnessing your existence from the perspective of others is as if you never existed, but your existence at this time is real. Like Rickel's "Heavy Hour" "Someone is dying somewhere in the world at this moment, looking at me." The boy the goddess later fell in love with, the one-way gaze reversed direction. It is also because of her deep belief, hope and love for the "Rational World".
As for the exact definition of the male protagonist's feelings for the goddess, admiration? Infatuated? Curiosity because of a sense of mystery? It is from oneself or some other direction, because he can never become the appearance of a goddess. The fact is that the two of them are united to be the whole world, but the fact is that they are destined to be incompatible. Up. But the only thing they have in common is "lack" - forever incomplete, broken and incomplete, so their pain is the same. It was this pain that brought them together, even though they knew nothing about each other.
Maybe it's love too, maybe.
