"Spiritual Journey", an animated film with a common name, made my husband and I seldom cry silently together in the cinema. The thoughts behind it, I really want to talk about it.
I was crying uncontrollably. It was the protagonist Joey who finally realized his dream. He achieved a wonderful performance with the band stars in the bar. Even his mother who had always been against him praised him, but he was not as happy as he imagined. On the contrary, he felt The moment of loss.
When the crowd dissipated, he walked out of the bar and asked the star leader of the band, "What are you doing tomorrow?" She said, "I'm still here to perform tomorrow."
Looking at Joey's doubts after the dream came true, my emotions began to collapse with tears, and there seemed to be a grievance and understanding in my heart that needed to be vented.
My vision and emotions directly travel back to ten years ago. At that time, I was not a writer and director. I was working in an advertising company. Every week, I took the bus to send the program CDs made by others to the Zhejiang News Building (then there was already There is a video program)
There, for the first time, I saw reporters returning from outside interviews, holding microphones with logos.
I always remember that scene. The person and I were in the yard of the Zhejiang Daily, face to face, and I just stared straight at the microphone. I didn't feel embarrassed at all, because the desire in my heart was too strong and I was reluctant to give up. Look away.
Later, my wish came true very quickly. I interviewed people and did a TV show, but I was not satisfied. Because the show is not well-known enough and doesn't make enough money, and because I have been doing the same type of show for more than a year, I am tired of it, and I don't want to get up every day to go to work.
Later, I quit my job and went to a big company to pursue a higher position, a higher salary, because of lack of emotional intelligence, and all over my body.
I was hurt enough, I decided not to go to the company, I just made my own favorite video at the moment, and I did whatever I liked. Obviously I am very happy every time I shoot, but I am still struggling with the number of videos, whether to make money, and being at home every day. unkempt, unable to hear the affirmation of others.
Seeing Joey's disappointment in the movie, I seem to see myself.
How many desires need to be filled in life? Those goals that we strive to fill are so persistent that we become indifferent to the beauty of life itself.
The theme of the movie is actually "living in the moment". There is a soul in it who has been reluctant to start life and feels that life is boring.
By chance, she came to the earth for a few hours, ate pizza, lollipops, felt the sun and the wind, and was even scolded in the subway. These brand-new ordinary life experiences gradually gave her birth. desire to live on earth.
Living in the moment and feeling life may be the truth of life that needs to be cured from a serious illness in order to truly appreciate it. In the movie, people have experienced it once.
I have to insert a comment here. I am a bully at Pixar. My favorite "Flying House" director Pete Docter, the movie has a core.
Before watching the movie, in fact, recently I have been playing back a picture in my mind, a picture that I think is ordinary, but I don't understand why I think of it all the time.
It was a weekday afternoon, and my husband took me to the deepest part of the Xixi Wetland, which is the natural bird watching area of the wetland.
Sure enough, I saw a huge bird there. It should be the size of a wild duck. It stood far away on a small branch by the water, and stopped there for a long time with a sense of security. I don’t know what it was admiring. Well, anyway, my husband and I are quietly enjoying it.
Someone on the other side of the mountain blew a whistle, and I saw a flock of birds flying to the other side of the island, yes, just like a scene in an animated movie, I think I will always think of that moment, it has nothing to do with fame and fortune.
After watching the movie, I seem to understand why that picture always flashes in my mind.
After watching the movie, I shared with my husband how we felt about the movie, and I suddenly realized that the financial difficulties I am facing today are nothing.
Because most importantly, I already have.
When I was walking home from the theater, I saw the traffic on the road, and an idea suddenly popped into my head.
I imagined myself as a successful person, driving a famous car, and taking a high position in a company that had nothing to do with content direction. On that road, I happened to see a young girl passing by with a microphone to interview.
The emotions from ten years ago have not diminished at all, maybe even if I die and enter the dust. I can imagine that every particle flying in the dust is regret and longing for not getting it.
So, I really want to be happy, but not to indulge myself, but like to play the piano like the protagonist of the movie finally became, and seriously enjoy every moment of playing.
Whether or not anyone applauds is not the most important thing.
