what are we all watching when we are watching a movie

A question suddenly came to my mind recently, when we are watching a movie, what are we watching? The reasons for watching movies are always bizarre, and the superficial ones are to pass the time, to have fun, or just to date. In this case, you must find some relaxing movies to watch, or just go for the gimmicks of blockbusters, because in this case, the purpose of watching movies must not be the movie itself. But the drunkard's intention is not in wine.
A deeper level is an attempt. When we hear from others, magazines, or other media that a film is good, we always want to see if it is as good as they say. Especially that person, that magazine, etc. are the ones you like to identify with, so that you will enjoy it at some spare time and then make your own evaluation.
More deeply, when we watch movies, we are actually looking for ourselves, our inner self or our expected self, our ideal self, and our real self. It is rare in life to come across a good film that fits me 100%. When we were young, we should like to watch romantic movies, because we look forward to beautiful love, but as we grow older, love is no longer the theme song of life, and we start running around for our own livelihood. At this time, you begin to deeply understand what is Life is composed of hardships and hardships, and stability is synonymous with happiness and sweetness. Time can't stand our toss.
As a female director, Xu Anhua almost spoke about life from the perspective of motherhood, in a forbearance way. Her award-winning film "Days and Nights in Tianshuiwei" actually told a bleak life, a middle-aged single mother, working in a supermarket alone, providing her son to school, and her younger brothers and sisters in their early years. , is still struggling. It's pathetic to think about. But the director didn't do it that way. The heroine under her lens is very optimistic, with a smile on her face all the time, and she also takes the initiative to help others. Life is difficult, but optimistic.
If I were someone else, I don't know how I would describe the life of such a person, but when I write this, I am reminded of the two TV dramas "The Age of Naked Marriage" and "Dwelling" by Teng Huatao, the director of mainland TV dramas. The themes are very clear. Life is driving us young people crazy! What a difficult time! What a hard life! Can you give us some way to live? ! The performance is hysterical, but is it so miserable to take a closer look? Especially compared to Xu Anhua's life. Each stage of life may have different pursuits. When we are young, we will be uneasy about the status quo, work hard, and move forward. However, doing anything has a price, and the biggest problem with people is dissatisfaction. Haizao is just an ordinary little girl from out of town, not a rich second-generation, with average ability, just an ordinary person. But in Song Siming's eyes, she is a young man. Think about it, Haizao has healthy parents, sisters, and a boyfriend who loves her. This kind of life is very good. However, Haizao, an ordinary girl, still wants to pursue a life that is higher than her own strength. But this life is not hers.
People in the city, when you think about it sometimes, it's like living on the edge of a cliff. Don't think forward, you always want that. If your mentality is slightly unbalanced, it is easy to fall off rather than climb. Come up! Layoffs, births, old age, sickness and death, fortunes and misfortunes... These are enough for people to endure, what else is there to do?
The film "Sister Peach" tells a story that is very close to life. When I read the introduction, it said that it was a story about a young master taking care of a servant. I was also expecting that the young master would take care of Sister Tao with all the feces and urine. I thought Andy Lau would take Ye Dexian home and take care of her with all her care. .. but looking at it this way, hypocrisy is rampant.
Andy is not a rich man. He drives a luxury car and wears a suit like the image of a young master in Korean dramas. That's all, it's closer to life. Andy's performance is really good. Only a person with such a personality would treat Sister Tao like this. No matter whether Andy is particularly rich, he always tries his best and spares no effort to take care of Tao. sister.
And Sister Tao's performance is even more in place. Although she plays a servant, in the story she is indeed in love with Andy. More importantly, through her performance, Sister Tao reveals her love for the Roger family. Loyal, although she is a servant, she treats the house she serves as her own, and thinks of Roger everywhere. Nursing homes are not a good place. A group of elderly people who can't move fast and need someone to take care of them everywhere. How can they get better? Sister Tao was not used to it, but she didn't want to trouble Roger. Sister Tao was always thinking of others. Watching this movie will remind you of your future, your parents' future, how you will treat your family in the future, what will you do when your parents get old? how to take care of him.
I think there are two levels of life. One is to look down and see the difficulties and hardships of life. Life is not only ours, we are also related to many people, our parents, brothers and sisters, our partners. Children, our career, our work, this series of connections, any mistakes made by anyone will cause great trouble to us. When we think about these, we feel that as long as everyone is safe and sound, we are happy. That is to say, the common saying is that it is true.
Another level is to look up, because as a social person, each of us is capable and has the value of living in this society. We live, and we are related to the people around us, and we have to work hard to realize our own value. . If we can do better and better, then we must work hard! But remember to keep a calm and grateful heart. Only then can we get closer to the true meaning of life.
