just as you are accustomed to my heart.
We
sighed in the dim light
and then shined on each other
-Gu Cheng's "Back to the Water"
is undoubtedly a film full of warmth and metaphors, sighing the humble life And the stalwart film. While watching this film, countless images, characters, and complexes emerged from my mind, and gradually blended with the real and illusory endings in the film, and finally turned into a big fish, and went away.
Father was originally a metaphor. Everyone is a father, and everyone is a son. Everyone may have glory and dreams, and everyone may have experienced flapping and dormancy. Everyone is greedy for small warmth, and everyone aspires to be a hero. Everyone must face the choice, and everyone must face the starting point and ending point that we must face.
Reality and illusion, lies and magnificence are just a question of the film, what kind of attitude should we take to face the vast and unknown life.
Knowing the end of death may make people more fearless. The long road is long, why is it a road? This kind of metaphor, I would rather understand him as-we have to know clearly what we want. Father will not die in the hands of giants, father cannot stay in ghost town, father must return from the battlefield, because that is not the end of father. Only by moving towards a pre-determined ending can people be able to stand firm and be invincible.
He Caitou said that this film is the magical version of "Forrest Gump", and I prefer to think of this film as the modern version of "Don Quixote." A small person is always moving toward his dream. His persistence, his weapons, and everything about him are his faith and his love.
The last twenty minutes of the film is the finishing touch. In these twenty minutes, truth and fairy tales have finally become like two silk threads running towards each other, tightly intertwined. The fireworks finally dissipated, and the shengxiao has stopped, moving the dust and dust, like the brilliant galaxy overturned on the sky, silent and scorching.
The core of life is nothing more than this. We have all yearned to become heroes of all eyes, become the prince of our princess, become the incarnation of justice, triumphantly triumphantly amidst flowers and cheers. But maybe we can only leave a faint track in the world, ordinary life, minimal help, and unspeakable debt.
Whether the real and concrete sloppy world throws us into the humble and invisible river. So the black doctor will ask the son who will be the father, the version of your birth story, which one do you like.
Where there is shadow, there must be light. Father just used his body to block out the mottled shadow in his heart so that people could only see the brilliant fireworks.
Whether the father really saw his journey of death is no longer important. Because we don't need to discuss the truth with love. The father finally died in the plot of his son's whispering, and under the attention of the protagonist in all his stories, he left the world with a smile.
This is not an end, but a beginning. It is the enlightenment of those dull rays of light, it is the death of the wisdom of life.
The witch said: You will never catch the biggest fish in the Alabama River.
So we try, we pursue, we fall, we rise. We climbed over the mountains, we escaped from the dead. We passed by the warmth and tears of a woman, and we passed by our own weakness and incompetence. We have found nothing, but we have never been empty-handed. In the end we failed, but in the end we were still at peace.
Because we always believe in the fairy tales and miracles of life.
This is the immortal legend.
