Surprises are always unexpected. As the plot progresses, I seem to understand something. An old man, after retirement, faces the stripping of his social identity and the lack of focus in his life. Immediately afterwards, his wife who had been with him for 42 years left, and his life suddenly fell into extreme disorder. Sitting alone in front of the dressing table in the middle of the night when applying makeup left by my wife, I lost my voice, and I was at a loss when I was woken up by the noisy sound of the TV in the middle of the night. A feeling of sadness pervaded the film. After that, he embarked on a quest to find himself and get rid of loneliness. A female doctor who saw that he was a lost and depressed person after only one meal gave him a baby to rely on. A meteor streaking across the night sky in the middle of the night made him suddenly relieved of his wife's betrayal. But he returned to his hometown of 12 Rutgers Avenue, only to find that it was no longer what it used to be. He wanted to stop his daughter's wedding and told her that he was entrusted with inhumanity, but at the last moment he could only say unwilling blessings.
A journey has not allowed him to discover any motivation to live on. Life seemed meaningless to him. As he said "When I'm dead, when the people I know are dead, it's like I didn't exist, what's the point of my existence. Once I am dead and everyone who know me dies too, it will as though I neverexiste. Such sad, hopeless thoughts flooded his mind after he got home. But he burst into tears after receiving a doodle from a little boy he sponsored. If last moment, he was still right There is no confidence in life, and at this moment he regains the motivation to live, because at that moment he knows that there are still people who need him and that he has value.
The reason why people live, his motivation comes from getting a sense of value and belonging, which is the feeling of being needed by others. Philosophers believe that people are born alone. As Maugham said in "The Moon and Sixpence", each of us is lonely in the world, and each of us is imprisoned in an iron tower and can only rely on some Symbols communicate their thoughts with others. But isn't exchanging ideas with others to seek one's own sense of worth and existence? In real life, we seek a sense of belonging in the crowd and a sense of value in our work. If one day you feel that no one needs you anymore, do you have no motivation and support for life. What is your life goal? Earning big money, honoring your ancestors, saving money for your children, whether it is trivial or noble, has its value, and it is the driving force that pushes you forward on the road of life.
But as time goes by, people grow old, and there is always a moment when people lose their value. The advancement of aging will inevitably lead to the fact that in the end, we will all walk into nursing homes. In the end, we will all be like sisters in the crowded nursing homes. In a crowded nursing home, we will feel wronged, and we will make regulations and systems, just to obtain temporary food and rest. Can we realize such a state: the most beautiful scenery in life is actually the calmness and calmness of the heart. We used to look forward to the outside world, only to realize that the world is our own and has nothing to do with others. Yes, at any time, it is the most real to torture one's own heart. In addition to removing all social masks and responsibility burdens, one knows what one needs and what one loves.
