This movie is relatively simple

The logic of this film is like a second-order predicate, that is, a person has the ability to control his own life in his own life. What is the topic about? Cherish life?

Maslow talks about peak experience, which is the moment in life when people need their full attention, which is called flow in psychology. In fact, many people have flowed, but it is more difficult to continue for a long time. I myself feel that people still need an experience when they are young, which is called the experience of death.

The experience of death is the experience of being close to death. I had it once. It feels good to be alive. The so-called "unknown death to know life". The male protagonist in the film escaped all the parts of his life that he did not like through the remote control, and finally found out that for him, family is more important than career. Finally back to the beginning, a new life. I think the main purpose of this film is probably to use the remote control to make us think about what is important in our lives.

As far as some details of the film are concerned, one is that the remote control does not achieve complete control over life. When the male protagonist escapes the parts of his life he doesn't like, the good things in each part are also skipped. In other words, what he escaped was actually time and events, and there were both good and bad aspects in events. If this remote control is really a remote control that does whatever you want, the plot will be different.

If it is really arbitrary, it is the same setting as the "second-order predicate" I said at the beginning. When a person is remotely controlling his own life, he is not "living" directly. I don't really want a remote like this, because then I have too much power. I no longer need to make any effort, and I no longer need to grow. I'd rather have an invisibility cloak or something.

Going back to this film, it is about cherishing after experience. The problem is that, generally speaking, the experience we get is something to cherish. But this is not particularly feasible, because we tend to forget.
That’s why I said at the beginning that it’s better to have an experience, although it’s possible to forget it, after all, it’s more effective. Is there any other way?
Isn't one of the talents of human beings planning, not crying after seeing the coffin?
My approach is to write a list and read it from time to time.

    After watching this movie accidentally, I have too many insights, and the most important thing is to guard the family! Highly recommended
