In a sense, this is a very boring movie, as boring as life itself, but if Gao Xiaosong's phrase "life is not just about the present, but also poetry and distance" is used to describe this movie, I am afraid Gao Xiaosong mentioned several male protagonists who forced him to kill his cheating wife by himself. He neglected to communicate with others. He raised an eel and fantasized about communicating with the eel. The villagers rescued the female protagonist who committed suicide by taking sleeping pills. The female protagonist was introduced to work in the male protagonist's barber shop. The two people who gave up their lives seemed to be slowly finding hope in life. The good times did not last long. She cut the heroine's ex-boyfriend in the early days and was sent back to prison. The heroine decided to run a barber shop and wait for the hero to return. The lines in this film are wonderful, very poetic, and have a lot of metaphors. About the hero and the eel. The dialogue between the male protagonist and the ufo boy "Are you actually afraid of making friends with humans? You are afraid of getting along with others, aren't you?" "Isn't that the case with Mr. Yamashita, he talks to eels because he hates humans, right?" Male The Lord's last line is "Did that eel let go?" "What did you say?" "They swim to the equator and come back here." Before the carpenter said, "The female fish has eggs in her belly and goes to the After swimming for 2,000 kilometers in the south, they spawned in waters with suitable salt content. At 2,000 kilometers, that is near the equator. The male eels that followed also shed sperm there. Most of the male and female eels died at this time. It took half a year for the small eel to return to Japan, and hundreds of thousands of small fish died on the way back, and the sea became full of corpses.” The tragic and fateful life of eel is not the same as that of human beings. Is it the same. "The parole officer knows everything that I am in prison." If you can escape from society, if you can escape from prison, life is inescapable. Isn't it frustrating that all those who have the courage to communicate with others have become more and more timid and unable to move beyond the memory of the past? The male protagonist, the female protagonist, the ufo boy, and the rapist are all like this. Despite the helplessness in life, the author still gave us hope, just like the five-centimeter fish that returned to Japan from the equator, just like the last sentence of the heroine, "If you wait patiently, it will definitely come."
