"Have the courage to be an ordinary person." - Mei Yiqi

From my point of view, this animated film is slowly talking about a question about life, and it feels quite in line with my current state of mind, that is, does life need goals? Is life without purpose worthless? In life, you must find something you are interested in, and you must create something valuable. Is it worthwhile to have the highlights of life? Thinking of this, and torturing myself, I feel stressed and anxious.

So how does the film answer this question? If you have a goal (or spark), work hard in this direction and make achievements all your life, this is a kind of life; or if you have to turn towards the goal for various reasons, going to another road is also a kind of life ; It is also possible that one road goes to the dark, and it is always one step away from success. This is also a kind of life. Others, with no goals at all, just live their lives like this. In general, life can be directly divided into two categories, mediocre and promising. When we are trying to get rid of mediocrity and cling to our goals, do we forget other important things, such as happiness, relatives, and the beauty around us. What will you miss when you are leaving this world? Is it a life of success, praise, abundance, the moment you reach your goals? In fact, the attraction of these things is very limited. Maybe you will miss the changes of the seasons, the leaves falling slowly in the sun, the artists playing and singing heard on the street, the moments when your parents gave you a bath when you were young, It was the first walk on the beach with a lover... What you treasure most is actually what you already have.

Don't worry about growing up, don't worry about getting old, don't worry about mediocrity, no matter what the road ahead, life is just as wonderful.

    But the breeze on the river, and the bright moon in the mountains, can be heard as a sound, and they are beautiful when they meet. Nothing is forbidden, but inexhaustible. It is the endless possession of the Creator, and we and the Son are compatible.

    "Brain Agents" is about emotions and "Spiritual Journey" is about character and soul. Pixar no longer bothers to tell simple "things" stories, but uses the most direct and vivid way to open up the proposition of philosophy of life. What has to be experienced? The details that can only be captured in his life are perfectly transformed into the work. The obsessive soul has nowhere to go in the state of ecstasy, and "I will enjoy every minute of living in the present".
