In a small town, everything here is dead, buildings, streets, pedestrians. But in a hidden place behind all this lifeless life, there is a shop, where people come and go every day and the business is booming. It turns out that this is a suicide shop.
Hearing this name, we may be surprised, how even suicide has become a business, perhaps because this place can give people more opportunities and choices to commit suicide, and it is painless and painless, so people come here one after another.
The owners of the store are a husband and wife and their children. They frown every day and look solemn to the customers they come and go. They feel that this will make people come here after experiencing the pain and suffering of life, and they will be more determined. I want to choose death.
Everyone's thick dark circles, thin limbs, and decadent affection, all give people an inexplicable sense of depression unique to black animation. As the heir of this storefront, he can't laugh and treat customers with enthusiasm. It can only give people more desperate pressure, as well as the determination and motivation to choose death.
The city is as depressed as ever, and the shop is booming as always. Perhaps it is because of the ancestral relationship, so inheritance has a different meaning in this store. Life is as always, but the shadow of death can never shroud the world, and the birth of a new life changes everything.
Aaron's birth seemed to be at odds with the family, starting with the surprised look in his father's eyes when he saw him. Because Aaron's life-loving attitude has destroyed the family's thriving business, the meaning of this family is to let people choose death, and the meaning of Aaron's birth seems to be to prevent people from choosing death.
If everything goes well, you don't have to think about suicide. If everything goes against your wishes, you should choose to give up your life. But those who are so desperate that they want to commit suicide, why not choose another way of life to live a good life?
Survival and death, with the beginning and end of people's entire life. The film also brings us closer to the film from the perspective of different people through the expression of magic realism. Many people should be on the verge of despair and want to choose death, but they have unavoidable fear and cowardice about the unknown of death, just like the characters in the film, they do not want to choose death, but want to be in despair. When they can't stand it, there is a person who gives them hope. And it just so happened that Aaron was this person, he prevented the guests from going to death, and also prevented the family from stepping into a more terrifying abyss.
Perhaps because of family inheritance, they are used to being uneasy about life and have lost interest in life and the whole life. They live on the brink of collapse and even want to commit suicide, but their mission and responsibility do not allow them to choose. die.
Since the smile on her sister's face, it indicates that the death represented by this family has been conquered by the survival represented by Allen. Black humor runs through the film from beginning to end, as well as a lot of singing and dancing. People express their truest thoughts to the outside world and others through singing and dancing. Allen's parents wanted people to express their choice of death, but Allen expressed the choice of redemption, and Allen's friends also fully supported Allen's redemption.
"You've screwed up your life, don't miss it again" is printed on the packaging of the merchandise in the Death Shop. So do we really have to choose death when we live badly? The answer must be no! The appearance of the gift has made a big change in the character of my sister, and the appearance of my sister's love has begun to make a big change in this family, from a suicide specialty store to a crepe specialty store, the same place, the same owner , the same business is booming. But it is a completely different way of life and meaning.
Allen made her sister have love, made her mother happy because her daughter had happiness, made her father cry with joy when she woke up, made her brother have self-confidence, and even made the souls of those who committed suicide reappear in this beautiful world.
Maybe the world is not as beautiful as you think, cold and lonely, but why not choose to change your thoughts and attitude towards life. There is only a thin line between hope and despair, darkness and light, life and death.
The film reflects that in addition to despair, there is a better side in life, music, dance, love, and laughter.
If there was such a suicide store, would you go in or just go in and have a look?
