We are all human, and death is our ultimate destination. This is the law of nature, I know it.
Chandler wrote in "The Long Goodbye" that the only thing life guarantees us is death.
In fact, it is extraordinary to be able to survive in this world of the weak. But life always asks us to make choices and to prove how extraordinary you are. Life is like an invisible hand that guides you so and so. Under its characterization, those who cannot make breakthroughs or achievements will become ordinary, a class despised by society, mediocrity.
There are many uncontrollable factors in life, such as hairs, earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes, landslides, fires, nuclear radiation, car accidents, fights, and even the foot that fell while running, all of which may end your life. .
The protagonist, an ordinary person, lives in this ordinary age, has no dreams, no pursuits, and just wants to live the rest of his life simply, so he is marked as a mediocre person. Reality is always more absurd than movies, and there are too many people who have been distorted by life. A series of questions arise from this. Is morality mandatory? Immorality must be punished? Is immorality the same as crime? Life is tiring enough, and many poor people have to add moral shackles to themselves. The protagonist who was originally a blank sheet of paper, a protagonist who wanted to live an ordinary life, did things that he despised under extremely irrational circumstances, and the moral world he created for himself collapsed for a while. Then he had to start walking down the path of chaos, the conscience in his heart supported his belief in living, and the moral ruins in his heart guided him to do the last thing, a seemingly heroic thing, but also a self-destructive thing .
It's easier to give up than to hold on, I know that.
Flies fell into the milk, black and white at a glance. I know everything except myself.
Life is too short, don't give yourself too much guidance, too much will be cruel.
ps: Director Sono Ziwen's style has always been black and romantic. Death is always indispensable in the film, but it is often accompanied by beautiful pictures and sweet music, which makes people feel cruel and helpless. Unfortunately, this film does not have it. In addition, too many meanings are mixed, making the film too complicated. The style of the film has always taken a dark route, but it is overshadowed by the ending.
