"Life is very long"

Conflicts between parents and children, conflicts within the family, no longer in the relationship between husband and wife, restlessness in adolescence, conflicts between true love and blood relationship, grievances and projections from the previous generation... Whether you admit it or not, all of this will It is the reefs and rapids that cannot be avoided when the river named life continues to meander to the end, frozen and extremely hot; from the perspective of the helicopter, the river looks like beautiful silk, but underneath it is undercurrent. , the lonely winter may be frozen for thousands of miles, and the emotional drought may make it dry. Winding up to this point, you turn into a tributary and part ways with your parents, but you still carry within you the shared experiences, ways of doing things, and complex memories with them—joy or pain, but more mixed gray, and then , you have your own family, the river is gradually widening, you think everything will be calm, but the new tributaries called children are gradually growing, and the temptation from outside the family begins to break through the boundaries you think are solid, stable, and even happy And the pattern, so, it is a new round of grievances and grievances. The most terrible thing is that in this course of life, there is no right or wrong. Everyone has their own standing ground, either from rational thinking, or from passion, or from altruistic dedication and nobility. Although sometimes it is not accepted by everyone... This is the unsolvable knot and thread, this is the waterway of life, and there is only one way to solve it: the end of the physical life, into the ocean at the end One piece, no more you or me, no more personal, conflict, gain and loss of interests, the individual has long been one with all things, so there is no more heartbreak. The dead are relieved, while the living continue to struggle, floating and sinking in the reality of the stage play.

The wonderful thing about "August" is that, in a limited film length, through a family of old, middle-aged and young people, it focuses on showing the conflicts in different life stages under the background of contemporary society, that is, each life channel Crash, temptation and tempest at the fork. Some people choose to commit suicide, it seems that they are finally tired of the secret noise in their hearts and want to end it in the grave; some people made "mistakes" several years ago, but this mistake has been nurturing and growing around, reminding themselves all the time , so you may have to pay for it for the rest of your life; some people think they have found true love at the end of their lives, but the dictator named "reality" has already prepared the cruel truth... The youngest in the family, 14-year-old only daughter Jane, has also begun to witness and even practice some of the ups and downs of life.

Life is very long. But each of us is an independent track. Even if we have intersected with others, we will eventually move forward alone. The overlapping part is very short in the light of history. We angrily beat the embankments that limit us in response to others' incomprehension or drifting away, sometimes complaining about their unwelcome interference. But in the end everyone struggles alone, even with blood or spiritual ties, we are still walking independently: we long to connect with the hearts of others, but you can't step into the flow of others, you can't know His inner thoughts can only be deduced through conversation and observation, and more importantly, you can't even control his coming or going in your life... So everyone, just walks alone like this, move forward. This lonely back is like Violet shouting in a big empty house: "I am the strongest!" Also like the end, Babara is alone, driving on an empty highway.

Life is very long. Walking on this road of life alone, there is noise and turmoil, and I know the warmth and the warmth.
