Since ancient times, there have been emperors pursuing the art of immortality. In 1992, there were also directors exploring what the eternal youth will be like in society. Now we still hope to live longer and longer.
However, if you really live forever, will it be like a god in the sky without bad body and long life? The movie gives us the answer-death and longevity destroys the laws of nature, and it also destroys the laws of society. Because society already regards death as common sense. Just like the male protagonist's question: What should I do if I watch the dear people around me die one by one? What should I do if my body is hurt? What should I do if I live alone? ...Longevity in the existing social rules will inevitably cause discomfort. The original laws of behavior, such as the need for love and companionship, and the standards of normal body, are no longer suitable. Either become a monster, or change the rules, and become like a TV series. The same rules as the heavens. Obviously, it is inappropriate to change the rules. Unless the vast majority of people can't resist the temptation of eternal youth and live forever, then this social rule will be rewritten by the vast majority of people.
I think of another question. Are the existing standard rules in society necessarily correct? For example, homosexuality was previously not recognized as selling corruption, but it really has this kind of sexual orientation. So it is the imperfection of social rules. So do we need such "abnormal people" to change social rules? I think so, social practice has shaped people’s thoughts and behaviors, and people have created social rules. In fact, social practice has changed. Therefore, "abnormal people" different from the original society will appear, so people will change social rules. .
Longevity is indeed terrible, but a short life is more attractive. If we really live long, what do we need to work hard every day? Does hard work mean living a good life and getting better enjoyment/creating value in a limited life? Infinite life, will we still create value? There is no limit to life, people will do whatever they want. Without the limitation of time, people will be extremely inefficient and waste time. Without rules, the entire society will be chaotic. What is society built on? People want to live better in their limited lives. Longevity is the destruction of society.
Mr. Yang Jiang said: The value of life is not its length, but its thickness. Too long life has become an excuse for procrastination and a proof of wastedness. Why not grasp the present moment and live every moment happy, fulfilling, and nothingness? One of the effects of death is to remind us that we still have responsibilities and missions, and we still have not much time to cherish.
As well as the final reversal of the story, the real longevity is not the eternal existence of the skin, but the eternal existence of the spirit. People will always live in the hearts of the world, and the story will be passed on from generation to generation. It has existed in the world for thousands of years, yet he is transparent and unknown, so why is it necessary?
