It was a rainy town in France, and the continuous rain shrouded the city in gray. The people of this city are gloomy and decadent, and for this reason, there is a unique family business "Suicide Shop" in the town.
Of the five characters in the specialty store, four of them are the "leaders" in the suicide world, and they are also the main characters who supported the dark gray in the first half of the movie. Mishima (Yukio Mishima), Lucaretia (a Roman girl who committed suicide), Vicente (Van Gogh), and Marlene (Monroe? But why do you like hanging), a family of four runs the business Suicide specialty store, but at this time, there should be some small changes in life according to the routine. (The first twist) Alan, the only kid in the family who can laugh, will "save" this suicidal town.
The second turning point is that Mishima saw the whole process of a customer. After years of emotional accumulation, he had to seek help from a psychiatrist. At this time, Allen and his friends sang in front of the store, destroying the store. While destroying the store, sister Malena finds true love. After Mishima and Allen had a "life and death" on the rooftop, Mishima also stepped out of the obsession of a suicide store. I run a crepe shop with my family.
At the end of the film, all the "people" who committed suicide appeared to repent. I'm sorry for not respecting life. There is an extra highlight. When the crepe shop opened, a customer who had not committed suicide before came back, and he is also the only person in the movie who has committed suicide twice.
As a musical film, the different singing styles before and after are also unique. The first paragraph is a bland narrative, the middle is lyrical, and at the end, there is a garland frame and a chase light at the end.
The film uses a technique that was learned as a child, "If you want to promote it first, you should suppress it", connecting different suicides and later jointly opening up the real theme of "life is precious". And for the customer who "died" twice, I think it should be an expression of respect. Existence is reasonable, and when people love life, there are naturally people who disdain life or want to escape. People are different, escape is shameful but effective, and respecting everyone's different choices is the real respect.
Life can be tiring at times, but we should all keep going just like Aaron (though he dies in the novel). The four owners in the store, died for dignity (Lucaretia), died for loneliness (Vincent), died for their faith (Yukio Mishima), and Marilyn committed suicide as a secret. Don't say it. The four masters have painted a depressing or regrettable picture for their own life, which is not fully understood by the world, but should be respected. Whether it is inspiring to be strong in the face, or regrettable to commit suicide. This is all one's own choice, the choice in the journey of life, how can outsiders judge right or wrong, just be responsible for yourself. People who commit suicide all have in common that they are almost helpless and have no family and friends. In this case, it can be regarded as another kind of responsibility for them. Then I don't think I have any reason to oppose suicide or feel that suicide is not responsible enough.
