movie " Life Events " has exceeded 1.2 billion yuan, with a Douban score of 7.3 points, which is undoubtedly the dark horse in this summer.
Why is it said to be a dark horse? Because the theme is based on the funeral industry, the public has avoided this, just like many passers-by in the movie think it is "unlucky", and in reality, many people don't want to go to the cinema to face "life and death".
The reason why "The Great Events in Life" counterattacks is that it understands the audience's psychology very well, mainly because it allows people to see the "life" surrounded by fireworks without touching too much "death".
Even if we talk about the "life and death issue", it also conveys a truth that is easy to resonate with: Life eliminates death and is nothing big.
The point-of-mouth principle of this sentence is what the male protagonist’s father said in the hospital bed. He has been in the funeral industry for his whole life, and his words before his death are naturally enlightened.
Life is like a book, and everyone has to turn to the last page, some have the end, and some have the ellipsis of . Nothing big is wrong except death.
This principle is for his uneasy son to listen to.
On the one hand, he hopes that his son will inherit his father's business, respect the funeral work he is engaged in, and let him understand that he is doing big things and has a sense of value. On the other hand, I hope he will not live in a daze just because he encounters difficulties. There is no hurdle that cannot be overcome except death.
Can his son Mo Sanmei listen?
First of all, this principle applies to those who are discouraged and give up when encountering difficulties and obstacles. This is the case with Mo Sanmei.
He was emotionally frustrated: he fought with someone for his girlfriend, was sentenced to prison, and after being released from prison, his girlfriend fell into someone else's arms.
He did a job he didn't like: he was forced to inherit his father's business, and was engaged in the funeral industry where "eat the dead" in the eyes of outsiders. He was looked down upon and even slandered and stolen the dead's rings. He just forced himself to do it for life and was ready to part with him at any time.
He has a tense relationship with his family: he always thinks that his old father doesn't love him, and he is partial to his dead brother, and blames his father for his dereliction of duty for all his unhappiness.
He felt that he was in trouble and made himself feel uncomfortable. He had a floral shirt, shorts, vests, gold necklaces, slippers, and spitting everywhere. He kept saying "I'm a silly" and had negative energy all over his body. He was the type of person who could not help but dodge and beware of it.
But he is not bad at all. He just thinks too much about the difficulties he faces and feels that he can't defeat them, so he just puts them on the wrong side. His father used "death" as a reference for him, and asked him to treat these difficulties and obstacles as trivial matters. Without the obstacles that cannot be overcome, there will be no reason to give up on himself.
Obviously, this great truth is very useful to Mo Sanmei, but it is just a thought to understand it. Healthy young people cannot refer to death all the time. This will also go to another extreme, that is, they feel that nothing is important and nothing is worth it except death.
This is the second truth that touches on "The Great Events in Life": Only when encountering something that is important will people stimulate their potential and you must know how to find your own internal motivation.
Mo Sanmei was originally a person who could not find the goal and direction "walking alone in the dark alley", until a little girl named Xiaowen, who was like him, fell from the sky, and she was full of "I'm a T-shirt". They were both sick and sympathetic, saved each other, and became each other's light.
Xiaowen loses her grandmother, just like Mo Sanmei loses her girlfriend, her father, and her spiritual pillar. Xiaowen, who became an orphan and rebellious, was ridiculed by his aunt, just like Mo Sanmei was suspected of stole a dead ring by her aunt's appearance... "I just can't stand these demons and monsters bullying people." He gave Xiaowen a home.
Xiaowen initially appeared as a nemesis, but with the innocent and kindness of the little girl, she slowly inspires Mo Sanmei's deep love and softness in her heart, and becomes his savior.
Even if he is not related by blood, Mo Sanmei is full of fatherly love when facing Xiaowen. He takes care of Xiaowen's diet and daily life, cleans up the messy home, sends her to kindergarten, and holds a parent-teacher meeting for her...
His life begins to have bonds and gravity. He is no longer aimless. He assumes the responsibility of "father" and becomes positive. Once the internal driving force is formed, his pattern will be opened without referring to death. Every day, thinking about how to accompany Xiaowen to grow up happily is enough for him to work hard. The work of eating the dead is to change the angle of "a person who grows stars", and life is full of hope.
"The Big Events in Life" is not a high-quality movie, because its shortcomings are also obvious. In order to promote the plot, some parts of the plot are too deliberate and stiff. For example, Mo Sanmei inexplicably sent Xiaowen back to her mother who suddenly "returned from overseas", and arranged for the reluctance to chase the car on a rainy night, which seemed too twisted and sensational.
However, it is still very smooth in expressing the two principles of "life is nothing big than death" and finding "internal drive", at least I can listen.
Of course, this is also because I have just experienced the meaning of these two principles in my life.
Half a year ago, I got sick. During my hospitalization, I realized that "life is nothing big than death." After I was cured, my mentality changed again, because as a mother, everything about my daughter is not a trivial matter. I have to do many, many important things. Except for being forced to lie flat on the hospital bed, I have to live well and work hard at other times.
Sometimes watching movies is not because the idea it conveys just fits your own ideas, but projecting a certain idea into the movie itself, so there are "one thousand viewers and one thousand Hamlets", in other words, it is also called "one person has a person's opinion."
I have heard of many truths, but it may not be useful if I understand it. A person’s mentality is fluid, and it is useful only if he changes with the situation and seeks profits and avoids harm and uses it as needed.
