Suicide is useless, what works is the future to live

There is a short comment that "just look at the name and it will be promising", which is very apt. Under the circumstance that everything with the word "kill, die" is solemn and solemn, this French animation is witty and humorous, and it does not shy away from discussing suicide, showing some imagination, and then implicitly returning to the philosophical level: "Is death useful?"

In the global context, the number of suicides is increasing every year, and countless teenagers, young people, and old people choose to end their lives. From a literary background, there is Japan's Osamu Dazai faintly proclaiming "I'm sorry for being human". Musically, "Black Friday" is full of deadly temptations. Under the chronic summons of marijuana, opium, AIDS and other deaths, young people Going forward and backward, rushing to Huangquan, the silent cry of "the world is not worth it" drifted among the herds of the community. Are these really unfortunate?

Under the dignified education of the so-called tiger mother and tiger father, many Asian children have thought of escaping, and escaping from this world under the sole control of their parents is death. How to die? Hang yourself, jump into a river and drown, cut your wrists (maybe someone next to you has a light mark on your wrist), or suffocate yourself, drink pesticides, and take sleeping pills? These thoughts are secretly hidden in the crowd, cannot be brought up to the stage, and circulate in the depression and bipolar disorder groups. For some people, it is really too difficult to live.

Not many film and television literary works dare to face this question head-on, but it is.

Its delicate picture, with the tone of suicide theme, is cleverly packed into all kinds of wonderful colors without being obtrusive. Tell you what you would choose to end your life if suicide shops existed. Suicide has really become a popular thing, at least it's popular with this store, it won't abuse you why you want to die, you can't die or anything, it will serve you intimately, and promote different products for different users, cheap, Expensive, slow, fast, painful, not painful, fragrant, not fragrant and so on. From a certain point of view, it will really let people who want to commit suicide breathe a little. From this setting, this film that discusses serious things but has a cute style for all ages is rare. If all people who want to commit suicide watch this film, will they have some different thoughts?

The image of the shop owner is a shrewd businessman with a two-stroke beard, the image of the hostess is a fierce and fat charter woman, the sister is an unpleasant ugly fat black, etc. Each character has an exaggerated and appropriate image of the character. The smooth plot moves to carefully maintain the theme of "suicide", and after performing a suicide fantasy, with the arrival of the little angel's son, he begins to try to shake all this. Just as the dark dome sees light, the gloomy people are like two-dimensional ants seeing a three-dimensional rainbow, and life has changed little by little. The younger son loves his family, but the family does not allow him to love because of business: the elder sister loves beauty, but the elder sister dare not show her humanity because of the oppression of her mother. The younger son knew all this and quietly tried to change it little by little, and of course he succeeded, the iceberg loosened and melted. Although Dad still sells cyanide in the end, at least, it's not set in stone.

I hope that those who commit suicide in reality can also have a light to shine on them, save some precious lives, and be as beautiful as the end of the movie.
