Happiness is an aurora intertwined with unhappiness - justifying the 'low score' movie

From "Insignificant" to "Shaun of Zombies" more and more like Simon Pegg. So that's why I watched this "low 6.8" movie in the first place. Although everyone's comments scored very low and there were countless negative comments, this chicken soup movie really warmed my heart. I smiled at the end and even brought tears to my eyes every time.

Although everyone says "that Chinese girl "ugly girl" looks...that Tibetan Japanese...Simon Pegg's worst movie...what brings down the score...", however, in my opinion, this This film is not about the pursuit of big-budget productions or the honors he has won. His greatest significance lies in conveying happiness and touching, telling people that happiness is not an acquired ability, but an obligation that people should perform when they treat themselves, and happiness is not simple. Emotions, happiness are aurora intertwined with unhappiness. Maybe this is human instinct! Although the reviews are mixed, this film reflects the local customs and sophistication of China and Africa. No matter what class you are, that kind of person will find his shadow. However, the hero Hector officially epitomizes the vast majority of us!

Hector has a child in his heart, a conservative child who does not dare to pursue his inner dream, the pressure of life suppresses him, he loses patience with life and work, he looks lonely, everything is going with the flow, it seems Positive was never in his dictionary. Until he decided to search, to find happiness, and to find happiness through the reasons of helping the patient liberate (in fact, he could not figure out his original intention, to find happiness for himself?), he was alone, from England to China, to Africa, to The United States (the place where he has the biggest knot in his life, for the woman he thinks he cares about the most) is looking for the true meaning of happiness, but a journey that has no time limit, but finds the end of time in the end - to the one who loves you To experience happiness with the person you love is the beginning of happiness and the end of this journey of pursuit of happiness. During this journey, I received 15 ways to be happy (in parentheses below are my little insights) 1. People are more mad than others (live yourself, don’t compare)

2. Many people think that being rich and famous is happiness (money is not the source of happiness, but many rich people naturally struggle to find their own happiness)

3. Many people think that happiness is only in the future (unhappy is not tomorrow, happiness should grasp the present)

4. Happiness may be the freedom to love more than one woman at the same time (happiness may be diverse and needs to be different to satisfy the heart)

5. Sometimes happiness is rare and confused

6. Avoiding unhappiness is not the road to happiness (because sooner or later you will face everything you avoid)

7. Most people will make you happy or unhappy (hence happiness is the aurora intertwined with unhappiness)

8. Happiness is the duty of practice (you put it into practice, help others, and make others happy as well as yourself)

9. Happiness is someone who loves the real me (no matter how unbearable you are, if someone really loves you like this, then this must be the most sincere love, then the truth will become love, and love will become true)

10. Baked sweet potatoes (sometimes, a piece of food, a piece of food cooked with your own happy mood, a share of your favorite food can make yourself happy, in fact, happiness is really simple)

11. Fear is an obstacle to happiness

12. Happiness is feeling full of vitality (nothing is more terrifying than dying, so living is happiness in itself)

13. The happy room knows how to celebrate to the fullest (when you are happy, you must be happy to the fullest, cherish the first happiness, and magnify every happiness)

14. Listening is love (nothing is more meaningful than listening to another life)

15. Remembering does not mean going back to the past (remembering the past is just recalling the past, time is gone forever because we can’t go back, so we can only hide our memories and look forward, no matter whether the past is right or wrong)

For these fifteen experiences, it comes from each person's different definition of happiness. In this bizarre society, we have grown from children to adults, from being innocent and innocent when we were young, to being so concerned about the world today. Life, work, love, friendship, family, all the pressures come to our face, we rush to work, family, school, busy every day, however, what do we gain in order to make a living?...But...we lose Happy, a true pristine joy! We used to be happy all day when we got a candy, but now? Perhaps too many people have lost interest in "desserts".

To be honest, this movie is indeed a bit sloppy. I always feel that some emotions have not really been vented, and some stories have not really touched my heart. However, this is a film about growth and the meaning of life, this is a bowl of chicken soup , maybe it's not delicious, but as long as you taste the "chicken flavor", it's enough, because the important thing about chicken soup is that "chicken" makes you think and resonate with your life. Movies, not only depends on whether the overall structure is checked, whether the actors' interpretations and interpretations of the characters are in place, and whether the story of the script is full, but more importantly, it depends on his guidance to society and human thought and culture, and to you, me, and him. The right motivation for life, no matter what level of filming the film reaches, as long as it does that, I think that's what makes the most sense.

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.
