The film begins with a Gothic style. In a gray and dark city, countless people commit suicide every day, as if suicide is the ultimate destination for people. It is very depressing and makes people feel weird and terrifying. In this dark city stands a suicide store. This is the only color in the city. This store lives with a family and is also a gothic cartoon character. They specialize in selling all kinds of The killing tools and the desire to commit suicide in each of them also show the dark humor with rich imagination. Until the birth of Allen, the picture slowly took on color. Alan represents the warmth that is indispensable in life, he was born with a smile, and he smiles again at all times, and his optimism is in stark contrast to the city. At this time, the film begins to look at the world from the perspective of a child named Allen, the parents who don't like his laughing, the beautiful but pessimistic sister, and the people who always want to commit suicide. He wanted to change this status quo, so he started to prevent people from committing suicide, and tried to find a way with his friends, starting with giving his sister silk scarves and discs to help her regain her self-confidence. Then he borrowed the car's loud stereo and destroyed all the medicines in the store. When his mother tried to reprimand Aaron, he found that his sister had found her own love. He made delicious crepes and was appreciated by everyone. Aaron It is recommended to switch to selling crepes. Everyone agrees. But at this time, my father couldn't accept this matter. He chased Aaron with a knife and drove Aaron to a desperate situation. Aaron used a trampoline to imitate his father's appearance to make his father laugh and make his father change. Later, the business of crepe shops became more and more prosperous, and the city gradually changed, and people gradually discovered the meaning of life. The film is filled with a lot of singing and dancing elements. At the beginning, it expresses the despair of the suicides for life in the form of singing; the Mishima couple sings that their existence is to continue to open stores to help people find happiness; the sister dances to regain confidence and gain love ;The film shows the change of attitude towards life in the form of joyful singing... The names of the characters in the film are also very cleverly designed. Mishima, Vincent and Marilyn all died by suicide, which is also very consistent with the characters in the play. . The end of the film is a happy ending. The whole film uses negative examples to prove the beauty of life without blindly chicken soup, but in the end, the rendering of chicken soup is not excessive, leaving room for people to recall. While they were selling crepes, an old man came into the store and Mishima gave him cyanide crepes, the only person in the entire film who committed suicide twice, and that's the most ingenious part of the film , indicating that not everyone can wake up, and the redemption of the optimists simply cannot overcome a heart that only wants to die.
