This is the second morning after watching this movie. On my way to the subway station, I noticed a crushed hedgehog lying on the right of the middle line of the road. Because I had an appointment to meet someone at eight o'clock, I was in a hurry, and I didn't stop my eyes for a second. The most lag is in the brain, which was processing the information in the headset a second ago-someone asked "Should people sympathize with others, or should they keep their distance"? This is a Q&A that I've heard more than once, and, strangely, it gives me some kind of momentary immersion every time. Maybe I've mistaken myself for the questioner. In the next second, the real picture was collected by the sight, uploaded through the optic nerve, and suddenly a dead hedgehog was thrown into my mind - I could see a hedgehog on the streets of Beijing. So, should one sympathize with a hedgehog?
The title of the film is "Hedgehog." Elegance is too narrow. Is it only grateful to be recognized? How can a sudden death be graceful? In the non-acoustic version I watched, the dubbing of the translation and the strange tone of the film were unexpectedly harmonious. The protagonists were named Paloma, Renee, and Ozugran. In short, everything happens at 11 years old. It's probably a magical age, although I don't know if it's some kind of magic given by the movie world, or if it's natural magic that is ignored by reality. In short, everything happens at 11 years old. Not unusual. You can have the deepest thoughts and the most wonderful encounters.
This encounter is related to a cautious janitor, her name is Renee. Before that, you thought death was the most ordinary thing in the world, but you solemnly wrote her in the plan list, and made careful arrangements and records for it, because if you can't save the pain, what is there to die? What to use? It turns out that the pain of the 11-year-old has been greater than death. And then you meet Renee. She becomes an important character in your records. You start scripting and storytelling for her, and then you declare that you want to be like her, give up death for it, and welcome the future unknown life because she makes you feel that being her is something more worthwhile than death. As for Renee, her life also had an accident at that time. It could not be said that it was beautiful or bad, and she could only ask herself "what's wrong with me"? The unexpected name was Ozu Grand.
Maybe you will not meet someone, but you still give up on death. Because after the age of 11, everything will be pulled up and changed. Death is no longer a certain thing; it has become a sad imagination-you will never see the person you love again, nor will you be able to see someone who loves you. Therefore, death is, of course, not ordinary. Its existence induces us to believe all kinds of nonsense, including how to evaluate the value of life, and its appearance allows us to discard some nonsense and understand that it is not death that is important, but the moment of death. What are you doing? The moment of death was the first day when Renee overcame her inferiority complex and dared to start a new life. She went out with a smile and was hit and killed on the road suddenly and without mercy. Whether hedgehogs want sympathy or are willing to keep their distance, we no longer know.
I don’t know if people who find this film interesting do so all because of some kind of resonance. For example, I feel that Paloma and Renee live in my world at the same time, but they don’t see each other most of the time. Paloma would watch Renee from time to time, but Renee wouldn't, she even avoided life itself. If that's the case, I just hope I can have a little more luck and wait until the unexpected happens and my wish comes true.
PS: The end of the film is very interesting, like a curtain call for a movie.
