Everyone on the street was groaning and pouting. The world is indifferent, and every time someone commits suicide on the street, the police ticket will be stuffed into his hands, regardless of his life or death. "I forbid people to overwork, and I stop people from being caged," the counselor said to the couple. There is a detail, after a couple bought suicide tools, the camera kept pulling, and then rotated the camera, there was an iron net separating the store from the world, the lights went out one by one, and the soundtrack was very heavy, this long shot, What is displayed is not only the darkness that symbolizes the suicide store, but also the irony of the ugliness of human nature.
The tonal style of the whole film is dark and cool, with only Suicide Shop being warm, which is an ironic symbol. Originally, the life we expected was so positive and optimistic, but if we were born to seek death, then what is the meaning of life. Then we assume that death makes people happy and can forget all their troubles, then in this dark city, the suicide store is like a beacon, saving people who have been squeezed by life. So, this is an irony.
In terms of soundtrack, first of all, this is a musical. The life sung at the beginning of the movie has a finishing touch that echoes the real life of the family at the end. After the children rescued some suicide victims, they danced excitedly. Come on, the soundtrack here is hilarious. In Marilyn, the daughter of the shop owner, after falling in love at first sight, the male protagonist played a wonderful piece of music for her. These are all saving the values of the entire film, which makes people sigh. At the beginning, I really thought that this was a film without values, but, unexpectedly, the ending was still warm. The owner and his wife have also changed a lot. At first, they were typical commoners, greedy for money, doing things that went against their conscience for the sake of profit. But after experiencing some things, they realize that life is the best thing.
The hearts of the couple are contradictory. On the one hand, they look at people who have committed suicide and died. They feel uneasy in their hearts and feel betrayed in their consciences. On the one hand, they had to run the store because there were people in the world who needed them. As a result, they became paradoxes, and the husband suffered from depression. When the husband saw the people who died in front of him, he shed tears. These tears seemed to be remorse, helplessness, sympathy and pity. I understand their helplessness, but this is revealing the weakness of human nature and the loopholes in society. We preach civilized social values, but there are still people who commit suicide and feel the injustice of life, probably because of the pressure of work. , it may also be a bumpy relationship, and the originally happy family is torn apart in an instant. Is this what we call a civilized society? No, this is not. Therefore, we have a long way to go, but even a little bit of power can Make the whole world a little brighter. The helplessness of the couple may be justified.
What impresses me the most is Alan. He was different from his family when he was born. He was born with a smile and would say good morning to new guests. All his personalities were the opposite of his parents. Allen represents a type of person, that is, a child. The child's innocence and innocent smile melts the entire cold society. At the beginning of man, his nature is good, Aaron is a child, he does not understand the sinister society, it is because of this that he becomes the key figure in saving this family. Simplicity and kindness are another themes of this film. People in today's society are too short of good things, and the children represented by Allen have broken through the darkness. They don't know the truth of life, but they are still happy. ,simple and naive. We need this innocence so that even when you see life for what it is, you still love life.
Contemporary people always complain and think of suicide at every turn. This film satirizes these people very well. If you want to commit suicide, you have to choose a method. Such black humor reflects our attitude towards life. Life is like chocolate, you never know what the next one will taste like, but you must always have expectations for life, because this is the meaning of life, live life, we live for the sake of life, so that Opportunity to express encouragement and support for people with depression, because I know that there are many people among us who are suffering without their knowledge.
