"Ovie's Responsibility"
As the saying goes, "Knife Mouth Tofu Heart" describes this somewhat paranoid old man-Ovi. At the beginning of the film, it is difficult for you to have a good impression of this old man. He is surly and mean. The first thing Ovie did in the morning was to patrol the community: check the street cleanliness, check illegal parking, check whether the garbage was sorted, and would always be dissatisfied with those who he thought was not abiding by the rules and then verbally attacked him. He adhered to his principles and complained and complained. Everything that his principles oppose.
But the most moving part of the film is precisely from Ovie's meanness. With the development of the film, his rigid seriousness has become cute, and we will find that Ovie is the most responsible person.
Ovie is always swearing, but in fact, his meanness is always proportional to his kindness.
He has gone to help neighbors who he thinks "cannot do anything" because he is "unbearable" countless times. In a grumpy mood, he reluctantly pretended to tell stories for the children by pretending to be a bear’s voice in order to coax the children, taking in the cats, taking in the little brother who was kicked out of the house because of coming out...
Even in a cold environment, he will always be the first A self-sacrifice to save others. The first time he was rescued was when he was young. No one from the neighbor's fire rushed into the scene to rescue the shouting child, but he rushed in without hesitation. The second rescue was when Ovie was preparing to commit suicide by lying on the rail. A man fainted and fell off the rail. (Video), Ovie was also the only one who went down to rescue the man.
"Ovey's Love"
every time Ovey commits suicide (although it is always an attempted suicide), a revolving lantern will appear, reminiscing about his life. The audience can see that this persistent man is lost most of the time, and his destiny always joked to Ovie when he was happiest.
When he got a satisfactory report card, he lost his father; when he had just finished renovating the house, he encountered a fire and was forcibly demolished; when he had just ended his sweet trip with Sonya, he lost his child in a car accident.
These experiences seem so miserable and so dark, but the light in the darkness always looks particularly dazzling. Ovie’s light is Sonya. Perhaps just meeting Sonia and getting the love of each other has cost Ovie more than half of his life's luck
.
When the movie Leo Wei and Sonia are together, it is so like a pure love novel.
"I lied, I'm not in service. I cleaned the train, my house was burned down, and I'm leaving now."
When the stodgy Overton finished this sentence, Sonia kissed directly Up him. Sonia recognized Ovie who had nothing and gave him love and trust. Fate also rewarded them with kindness, and Ovie eventually became an engineer.
Ouwei and Sonia have spent their entire lives weaving the 100% trustworthy and sincere love that each of us desires.
"The more idiots talk about her, the fewer memories I have about her."
Sonia left first, which means that Ovie's original belief in life has almost disappeared.
And death is something unknowable to the living, there is a door between life and death, and when that door walks in, people die. Sonia is inside and Ovie is still outside. He will inevitably face the loneliness of this "life".
"Ovie's loneliness"
Balzac said, "Ordinary people can hardly tolerate loneliness. People in adversity are more sensitive to this isolation because they don't trust anyone." This sentence is especially appropriate for Ovie.
Before committing suicide, Ovi almost refused to contact everyone. He had nothing to do with him. He lived alone in a house full of Sonia, but there was no Sonia for a long time. And the only object he talked to was the grave to which Sonya would not give him any response.
When he was alone and "voluntarily" resigned from the post where he had worked for forty-three years, he had no love for the world, so he decided to go to Izumi to meet his wife Sonia-he was going to die, and Must die decently (he tidyed up his clothes and sprayed on perfume before committing suicide). However, his fate is tricky. His suicide will always be interrupted in different ways by his noisy new neighbor, a lovely pregnant Iranian woman. He wants to die, but fate will not let him die.
The appearance of the noisy Iranian neighbor challenged Ovie's loneliness. Although Ovie was cold on the surface, he was very kind in his bones and could hardly refuse others. As he got along with the passionate Iranian pregnant women, Ovie established contact with outsiders, and began to accept the help of others to reconcile with his old enemies. Gradually smoothed the edges and corners, and looked happy.
If Ovie succeeded in suicide at the beginning, Sonia would be sad when he saw Sonya. At that time Ovie was so lonely and angry, so the kind-hearted god of death was reluctant to take him away.
Ovie died of "really big heart", with love instead of loneliness, with satisfaction instead of anger.
"Choose how to live"
When destiny continued to shoot sharp arrows at the pair of Biren, and Sonya couldn't find a job because of her disability, Ovie was tossed and turned.
Sonia said to him, "Should we choose to die or try to live?" Ovie ran to the school gate that night to build a slide for Sonia, and she got her dream job as a teacher.
This sentence also supported the last time of Ovie's life alone.
Does he choose to die or try to live?
When the god of death was unwilling to take him away, he lived in this world in his best way, and he left with the most dignity when he left.
When we grow old and lose our support and faith in our twilight years, how should we choose to live? The film gave us an imperfect perfect answer.
At the end of the film, the little girl from the neighbor ran to replace Ovie to close the door of the community. The film ended.
Returning to the whole movie, the plot is actually quite routine. The ordinary life of ordinary little people basically develops in the direction you expected.
You know that Ovie’s suicide will not succeed, you know that there is no such perfect love in the world, you know that your father will be killed on the railway, you know that he will help others every time, and you also know that Ovie will leave in the end, but you I also pray that the world can treat him better. When this happens, you will still be sad and moved. (Just like when I watched "My Girls' Generation", every plot is so vulgar and routine, but it still impresses me faintly.) The
film also has a lot of cute smiles and grooves, such as Ovi vs. Sabo The obsession with the car and the anger towards Volvo.
A story with tears in laughter, just as satisfying as a cup of hot milk after reading it. :>
