People often say that a person eats three times in his life: once when he is born, once when he gets married, and once when he dies. But often I can’t eat my own meal, or I can’t get enough to eat.
What are the major events in life? Nothing more than birth, old age, illness and death.
So people often say that except life and death, they are all trivial matters.
The movie "Life Events" is based on the experience of Mo Sanmei, a funeral service practitioner. During a job, he met Xiaowen, a girl whose grandmother died. The two tortured and disliked each other at the beginning, but later cared for each other and became... The most important people in each other's lives. The plot has moments of tears as well as moments of laughter. Isn’t this our life of joy and sorrow?
Life is short and all living beings suffer.
is a little bit sweet, and life has something to look forward to.
1.Mo Sanmei’s life can be said to be very difficult.
Take the words of his friend: Aren’t you just cuckolded by your girlfriend? Wasn't it just that he was wrongfully accused of having his money stolen? Isn’t it just that my girlfriend is getting along with someone else? Isn't that the person who happened to be fighting with you back then?
Such a life is real and bloody, unbearable but inescapable.
But the hard life has some sweetness after all.
He met the nemesis-like "Little Nezha" who forced him to hand over his grandmother, but he said cruelly: Your grandmother was burned and turned into smoke and flew away. Friends blame him: he has no childlike innocence.
After seeing little Nezha sad, he couldn't bear to say: He flew away, but he flew into the sky and turned into a star.
The appearance of little Nezha made him understand gentleness and responsibility, and also allowed him to reconcile with his father, understand his father's persistence and expectations, understand the meaning of his work, and find the direction of life.
From nemesis to mascot, the "Nezha" essay allows Mo Sanmei to find the sweetness of life despite the hardships of life.
2.Xiaowen’s life is undoubtedly difficult.
never knew who his father was, never met his mother, and was disliked by his aunt and cousin.
She lived a sweet life, first as her grandmother, and later as her third brother.
Grandma is not a model of scientific parenting, but her love for Xiaowen has no skills and is all emotion.
She taught Xiaowen to cherish food and care for others. She taught her that the road is right under her nose. If she has a mouth and can ask for directions, she can always find her way home.
The third brother turned out to be a person who had lost his enthusiasm for life and work. Under Xiaowen's warmth, he regained the hope of life. At the same time, he also warmed Xiaowen, allowing Xiaowen to find the feeling of home and regain his life. The long-lost father's love.
During the days of living with Mo Sanmei, Xiaowen found a home, a father, someone who cared and loved him, and he also recovered precious memories related to his grandmother. The sweetness of
Xiaowen is to find your own warmth while warming others.
3.Xiaowen’s grandmother is actually suffering. Although the
movie does not tell the story of my grandmother directly, my grandmother's miserable life can also be seen from the side.
originally had a son and a daughter, but after the rebellious daughter gave birth to an unknown child, her whereabouts were unknown; although the son had a family with a wife and children, he was a strict wife; and the daughter-in-law had never been able to tolerate Xiao Wen. , presumably the relationship with my mother-in-law is not much better.
is such an old lady who has no children to support her, and she takes care of a lonely granddaughter.
She has endured a lot of hardships in life, rumors, and physical illness.
But even in such hard days, it can be seen from her loud and warm voice when talking to Xiaowen, and her love of playing mahjong and square dancing that her grandmother always leads a positive life.
The sweetness of grandma may be the concern and hope brought by Xiaowen, or it may also come from the tenacity and optimistic attitude towards life. Her sweetness was brought by Xiaowen, and she found it for herself.
4.Mo Sanmei’s father, Lao Mo, is also suffering.
Working in the funeral industry, he is used to seeing life and death, and he has no fear or regret about his own death. The only thing he can't let go of is his second son who died young.
Lao Mo's suffering comes from the grief of losing his son, but also from the discrimination and incomprehension of his profession by outsiders.
For a dead person, a living person is involved. Who could do such a stupid thing? Lao Mogan came out. In the eyes of outsiders, he may be a paranoid in an "unlucky" industry.
Even worse, he would say such heart-wrenching words, "This industry is unlucky, so I killed my son."
Lao Mo must have heard a lot of such discrimination and incomprehension.
But when I saw Lao Mo dancing in the square, and watching Lao Mo hanging up his baby's thermos cup but secretly filling it with wine, I also saw his reconciliation with life, and I saw the same thing as Fugui in " is alive " the spirit of.
His life also has sweetness. His sweetness comes from the fact that although his younger son is not up to par, he still sees progress and hope, from the filial daughter who always cares and takes care of him, and even more from the fact that although he is engaged in "unlucky" industry, but I always firmly believe in the meaning of my profession and see through the meaning of life.
Postscript
The movie takes the funeral service industry as the entry point, but it is not only about showing this industry, nor is it just the story of the funeral service practitioners, it also uses it to tell us the meaning of life and the meaning of life. .
Just like what is said in the novel "To Live", living is living itself, because this is a rare life, so no matter how painful or difficult it is, living a life with all your arms is worthy of this trip in this world.
And "Big Things in Life" also tells us that except for death, they are all small things.
Even if life is short, we can still find the short-term sweetness. For this moment of sweetness and moment of warmth, we should also hold our heads high, raise our faces, and live a good life.
