After reading the ratings and some of the reviews of this film, I don't agree with it. Some people regard it as chicken soup, maybe because you didn't understand the film. When introducing what is subsidiary beauty in the film, Holder's wife said that the person who told him was not talking about chicken soup, but experience. Yes, chicken soup will make you excited immediately, but the experience will not, the experience needs you to experience it slowly, like this film, it is definitely worth the aftertaste. It tells people about time, love, and death in a peculiar way. It uses every character in it to correspond to every noun to interpret time, love, and death. I believe that people who have experienced some painful experiences can understand when watching this movie. , because it is a healing experience film, not a chicken soup film. If someone watches this movie and thinks they've poured a big bowl of chicken soup, I think it's because you don't understand the movie at all!
A talented, charismatic spiritual leader who is full of passion for life. After losing his daughter, he is indifferent to everything. In his eyes, everything has nothing to do with him, because his world is dark and his vitality is gone. He has It's just a sense of powerlessness, he doesn't care about anything anymore, he doesn't communicate with anyone anymore, his heart is closed from now on, and the moment his daughter left, his life came to an end, he completely closed himself . To him, this world is like a dark abyss, like a dry well, he can't see where the exit is, and he doesn't want to find it, because when he finds the exit, he also admits the fact that he has lost his daughter, he can't Admit, can't accept, can't face, in this endless abyss there is no time, no love, not even death, he doesn't even feel death, this feeling of powerlessness engulfs him and makes him shuttle through the city like a walking dead , meaningless. There is a section in the film where Holder yells at time. What is the difference between living like this and going to prison? Yes, because there is no hope.
This kind of pain in life can completely destroy a person. How enthusiastic and energetic he was in the past, but the death of his relatives has completely changed him. For three years, he could not get out of it at all. A little bit of this huge pain. Those who have experienced the loss of their relatives may understand this feeling and be able to feel his pain and helplessness. He prayed to death, made a deal with death, and exchanged his life for his daughter's life, but death did not promise him. Deal; he prayed to time to give his daughter some more time, but time didn't answer; he prayed to love not to cut off the love between him and his daughter, but love didn't answer, so he broke down completely! All the great truths, all the verses, to him, were liars, all rubbish, he no longer believed, he hated everything that had given him a good experience, he hated time, love and death, full of anger. With the music at the beginning of the movie, the moment he knocked down the Dominoes, his world collapsed, he knocked down his world himself, and no longer had any connection with the outside world, he was closed. Until his friend found three actors to play time, death and love, and walked into his world, he began to have awareness, from the initial feeling of powerlessness to the anger behind, representing that he pushed the world from him walked out slowly. A deep sense of powerlessness is a relatively serious depression, and when the sense of powerlessness gradually turns into anger, it means that he has emotions and begins to have strength, and he begins to vent the pain in his heart, which can be regarded as an opening to the dark world. The opening can let the light in, but he has not yet realized it. When a person has anger, it means that he is slowly recovering his strength, and he will slowly come back to life. When he signed off on the board, it took too much force to do it, and he did it. When Will Smith performed a section, he really did a good job, showing the complicated emotions and helpless power at that time, which is really a big praise. A performance without heart can't move the audience. And while he was so miserable, he was actually paying attention to his friends, and every word he said to them hit their hearts.
In the film, the director confronts his three friends Simon, Claire, and Wade with the problems of death, time, and love. Isn't this just like each of us in all living beings? We all face these challenges in our lives all the time, and sometimes we feel like there is nothing we can do. From the beginning, Hui De had a deadlocked relationship with his daughter, and then slowly turned around. You can see his change. He has always loved his daughter, but why was his daughter so reluctant to communicate with him in the first place? Hui De is a person who doesn't know how to feel. He always starts from his own point of view. He doesn't understand what the other party wants. He won't feel his daughter's feelings. He knows how to communicate and how to love, so there is a problem in his marriage, and there is a problem in the relationship between him and his daughter. What he always thinks about is to solve the problem, just like the way a man always thinks, but he doesn't know whether it is love or not. What needs to be resolved, love is to feel, love is to communicate, and when he learns to feel his daughter, their relationship gets closer. We are often like this in our lives. We obviously love each other very much, it may be a relative or a lover, but we get along very badly, because you don’t have the heart to feel what the other party wants, you always think from your own perspective. , to solve the problem, you are still very distressed, I have done so much for you, paid so much, why don't you appreciate it? Just like what Wade prepared for his daughter for Christmas, he spent so much effort and did so many things just to spend a Christmas with her daughter, he told her that I had prepared so much and how hard these tickets were, but The daughter did not appreciate it and told him that she hated him. Because he kept saying what he did, he thought these daughters would like it, but he was wrong. Claire is an older, unpregnant young woman. He is fighting against time. She is afraid of running out of time. She is afraid of not being a mother. Time makes her nervous and makes her uncomfortable. She thinks time is linear. Maybe not in life, time is multi-dimensional. of. And Simon is facing death, from the beginning he was reluctant to tell his family to finally telling his family, this is a change, as long as you think about it from his position, you will know how difficult it is, because he Start facing death.
The best part about this movie is that Holder comes to Mandelyn's house, it turns out that she is his wife, it turns out their daughter is called Olivia. When Mandelyn asked him again what his daughter's name was, he still couldn't say it. He couldn't do it. Often the most painful things people couldn't say. The world is reconnected. I couldn't stop crying when Holder said his daughter's name and why she died, because it was so painful, he mustered so much courage to say these words, simple words The words have dug up the pain that was buried deep in his heart and made it bleed. This really requires a lot of courage. When he said his daughter's name over and over again and why her daughter died, I knew that he came out, he faced it, he accepted it, and he regained his vitality. I lamented that the director's arrangement at the end was really wonderful, it was the finishing touch, and I was really moved. Perhaps anyone who's been through a similar experience can understand how important the moment he said his daughter's name was. Thank you for this video for making me feel so much.
Auxiliary beauty, this is a film that needs to be experienced slowly. Maybe when I watch you again, I will still burst into tears, but I will also appreciate a different scenery and a different understanding.
