fall in
love , girl In the 1953 film, although the film is monotonous in black and white, with the unfolding of the plot and the penetrating performance of the actors, it seems like a pot of rare nectar. The power of an excellent film is great. I am not a professional film critic, so I cannot analyze the filming techniques, techniques, structure, etc. On the spiritual level, do some crude evaluation and a little self-reflection. "Desire to Live" is so subtly to my taste. The movie ended, and I realized -- this is the kind of movie I was looking forward to, the kind of movie that I was willing to hold back on. There are two main meanings expressed in the film. The first is a criticism of the decadent atmosphere of officialdom, and the second is a reflection on how people should find their own value and destination. The former is the table, the latter is the inside. The director handed over these two contradictions to the protagonist named Watanabe... At the beginning of the story, he directly told the audience that Watanabe had cancer, and the film revolved around Watanabe's surroundings and himself during his illness. The changes in my heart spread. The plot is very simple, you can probably guess what kind of ending it will be in less than half of it. Watanabe finally did a blessing for the people in the last time of his life, smiling on a snowy night , died alone in the park swinging and humming songs. The plot that is clear at a glance is performed in the hands of the director, torturing our souls. The film does not deliberately describe how dark the officialdom is, but inadvertently outlines an ugly officialdom world through the dialogue and behavior of a character. But if it just stays with the dark side of criticizing society, maybe the first level of the film will not be so outstanding. The remarkable thing is that while the film shows darkness, it more deeply reflects the helplessness of people in this darkness. Helpless why? At the beginning of the film, various departments in the city government shirk their responsibilities from each other, and play the complaining people around like a football.
, There is a line: People think that bribery has become a big thing, but compared with the useless things we do every day, it is a small thing. All day and night, he racked his brains to keep his position, guarded the so-called "territory" of his own, and never touched others' "territory". and live". But these people are not without the ideal of serving the country and the people. At the end of the film, Watanabe's subordinates figured out the reason for such a big change in Watanabe. They picked up their wine glasses with excitement, and swearing boldly and swearingly determined to inherit Watanabe's Spirit... But everything was on camera, we saw the dead face of the section chief and a pile of documents, another resident came to complain, and heard the familiar line: Please find the civil engineering department. The only difference is that the person sitting there is not just Watanabe. We might as well change the way of thinking, if Watanabe did not suffer from cancer, would he be willing to do his best to repair this park, even to contradict his boss, not to succumb to the threat of the underworld? I think the answer is no. It is precisely because I know that my time is short that I dare to get rid of the shackles that have bound me for most of my life, and do what I want to do at the last moment of my life.
Let's talk. Through Watanabe's story, the film asks us a deep-seated question - how do people find their own destiny when faced with the cruel reality? Watanabe listened to the writer's words after learning that he was ill, and followed him to indulge in the feasting night. Also eat and go shopping with young female subordinates. But later, Watanabe sang "Girls, let's fall in love, before the red lips fade, before the enthusiasm cools down, no one knows what will happen tomorrow" with tears in the piano accompaniment, and the female subordinates no longer feel new to him. And curiosity, but disgust and fear for him... Whether it is sensuality or attachment to young and healthy women, in the end, it is nothing but a bubble for Watanabe, because for Watanabe's life, this is not His destination, he could only get some fleeting comfort from them, but after waking up from the dream, it brought him great pain. This state of confusion and anxiety reflects the current state of mind of many young people—not knowing what they want, not knowing what the future will look like, trying to grasp the illusory attachment but unable to do anything, only Find satisfaction in short-lived joy, and then paint with sadness after waking up. Fortunately, the protagonist finally found his own home. He walked down the stairs in the background music of wishing you a happy birthday, which means the awakening of his life consciousness.
Watanabe is undoubtedly tragic. For a long period of time in his life, he did not live in this world in a real sense. After the death of his wife, he did not continue the string for the sake of his son. He devoted his efforts and expectations to the child. , but later the daughter-in-law and son actually coveted their pension and savings...... Watanabe always walks with his head buried, maybe he never dared to look up to see his own destiny. He can't enjoy, can't make fun, doesn't know how to express his emotions, and always speaks inarticulately. It was not until he knew his tragedy that he really began to think about the value of his life and began to reflect on his previous life. But at the same time, Watanabe was lucky. Although he was terminally ill, he still found the meaning of his existence and the destination of his life. The local people came to express their condolences with gratitude. The son and daughter-in-law also knew the greatness of his father and his spirit of serving the people. It also infected the younger generation, adding a green shade to the turbid officialdom.
