Inspirations from a dull life

The film tells the story of two childhood playmates who have not seen each other for many years and are invited to go on a hiking trip one day after retirement. Because of their very different social status and living conditions after many years, and the influence of their inherent impression, there are many frictions in their peers; but along the way, they gradually get to know each other better, and they also change their views.
The film is not too brilliant or touching in all aspects, but I still give it four stars because I feel calm, warm and released after watching it, and it is very life, real and natural. Most importantly, there are moments that make me think about myself.
Looking at the protagonist's feelings and changes in people and things, it is natural to put yourself in it. I feel that the film also uses this to express that there may be unexpected gains in looking at the people and things around you when you break away from the inherent perspective. This is a kind of life inspiration. When different people leave their familiar living environment, they will feel at a loss at first; but the change also allows them to let go of their inherent concepts and re-understand, recognize and feel the people and things around them. It's a bit cruel to say that you only know how to cherish after you lose it. Maybe we sometimes withdraw from the inherent life mode, and then look back at the friends, relatives, and income around us, and we will be more cherished!
