For those who are at a low point

There are all kinds of troughs in this world, your troughs his troughs, her troughs. Due to different experience backgrounds, people experience different emotions and feelings when they experience a downturn. In this film, the male protagonist's very tacky "journey to find happiness" is used to show people the different forms of happiness. Finally, the male protagonist goes deep into his heart, digs the inner shadow, and finally walks out of the haze.
This type of heartwarming movie isn't for everyone. When your life is like a duck to water, maybe this movie is just a snack after dinner. But when you really can't be happy, only if you really want to be happy. (A psychiatrist can't cure you if you don't want to get better) Then this movie is your savior.
The male protagonist is very depressed, but the tone of the movie is not so depressed. The sun-filled landscape is interspersed with metaphors, foreshadowings and different happiness understood by different people.
In addition, after the male protagonist was hurt by a high-end prostitute in China, he went to Tibet, and the soundtrack along the way was very good! ! ! ! The film's soundtrack was done by Dan Mangan and Jesse Zubot. I really like Dan Mangan's tunes! ! ! His voice can be melancholy but not lacking in sunshine, and the husky is just right. I am always very interested in the music of the movie, and I will collect it as long as I hear what I like!
In short, it is very suitable for me who is coming out of the slump. Will watch it again.

Hector and the Search for Happiness quotes

  • Hector: You've been a fugitive. You've been in prison for your beliefs, you've lost family and loved ones. I mean, you've just been through so much. How is it you're so happy?

    Old Monk: Because I've been through so much.

    Hector: I mean, searching for happiness is one thing, but making it the goal, it just doesn't work, does it?

    Old Monk: Higher than that, Hector. More important than what we are searching for is what we are avoiding.

    Hector: Like unhappiness. So, don't make unhappiness *not* the goal?

    Old Monk: Higher than that.

    Hector: Avoiding unhappiness is *not* the road to happiness.

    Old Monk: You hold all the cards, Hector.

    [both laugh]

  • Edward: You're a very very strange person, Hector. The kind of person I normally avoid like the plague. I'm glad I didn't.
