What Makes Us HUMAN (1)

After reading Professor Dai Jinhua's recommendation, I found this documentary. This is a documentary recording the interviewers. The overall style is solemn and there are no fancy photography skills. There are only people from all over the world sitting in front of the camera with their backs to the black screen, each with different human souls. There are so many themes involved in this film, including life and death, love and hate, war and peace, the situation of gays, family, etc., so it's hard to find a title that fits the theme. The director also said that because he couldn't find a suitable name, he named it: human.

Topic 1: What Makes You Happy, Happy

"Rain makes me happy"

"I have food to eat, land to grow, a house to live in, and electricity to live in. I don't have to sleep at night. I feel very happy."

I earned 1,000 yuan in college and bought a new motorcycle, which made me very happy.

"The joy of a child coming home as a mother, the love of a husband coming home is the joy of being a woman, the joy of being an elder when grandchildren call me grandma..."

Everyone's happiness is different, there are things, people, and spiritual happiness.

Everyone has their own life, has their own goals, of course, as life changes, the goals will also change. Before losing a leg, there is corresponding fun, and after losing a leg, you will find happiness from different angles, and your heart will change with the situation. Ten years from now, when God asks you to trade your ten years of life for normal legs, you might say, "keep your legs."

You are alive, so happy.

The overlook of the natural scenery suddenly inserted is shocking.

    After watching, I have a lot to say, but I don't know how to say it. I feel that the lens looks like a god, overlooking the common people, listening to the monologue, gentle and compassionate. The director said: "We are a species full of sympathy but also full of hatred. I try to understand why." I hope everyone can see it, especially in the recent murderous environment, from the perspective of all mankind. Only then will you discover how narrow and absurd the so-called patriotic standing in line is always yelling, screaming and killing.
