When I was bored, I wrote a diary, and then watched the game of the useless MAN Utd. Continued to be bored, so I watched a movie, an American movie, "The Magic Remote Control". It's basically saying that one has a magical remote control, life can fast forward, rewind, and even have narration instructions, menu options. The only downside is that this remote cannot be returned. Once he is not there, life can no longer be restored to these scenes.

The detailed process is nothing more than the origin of focusing on family and neglecting work. But the final scene is still touching.

I remembered what he said when interviewing Mr. Wu Chenghui. That was the scene in the 1940s: Americans made a lot of fake things as real, and Chinese made a lot of real things fake.

60 years have passed in an instant. If you had a time machine, or just a magical remote control, would you be willing to skip all the misery and self-torture?

The two details that impressed me the most were the grizzled Michael pressing the rewind button in front of his father's grave, and the phrase "forever and ever, babe" leaking from the corners of Dona's wrinkled mouth.

When life is faced with daily uselessness and boredom, are you willing to skip certain scenes and complete a dissolution of the meaning of life in an absent presupposition?

Wandering among outsiders and suffering may be the eternal motif of the human spirit.

    Family is more important than work~ There are hardships and happiness in life, and sometimes, hardship is happiness. Life pursues the process, not the result.

    Although it’s a bit embarrassing to say that the Angel of Death is a little old man~ But every time I watch this kind of film, I can’t help but sigh about life~ After all, our life does not come back to this kind of thing~
