Compared with the text of the movie's matrix, the movie that uses sound and pictures as a means of presentation is more empathetic. Synchronization in time and coexistence in space allow us to enter the situation of the characters in the play more directly and quickly. Seeing what he saw and hearing what he heard, the same situation further brought emotional resonance and even sublimation. This is what I have realized so far, the greatest charm of the movie. Food color is also. Live, then continue the blood. This is the instinct of all living things. As much as we desire for life, there is so much fear of death. This desire and fear are so huge and unfathomable that we will subconsciously ignore their existence, just as we don't know or want to know, the island under our feet is actually the dorsal fin of a monster. The neglect of the derivatives of life and death often extends to the main body-life and death. Ignore, ignore, and squander. Regret when you lose is beyond your reach, it often comes from not cherishing when you have it. Once we see the goal mark and hear the call of the tomb, when this desire and fear can no longer be ignored, collapse, confusion and even madness are inevitable. The protagonist in the film has just gone through these three stages: The patient’s unintentional words and the doctor’s desire to cover up "miracle" like a coincidence, a sword of Damocles with the time of its fall suddenly hangs above his head. Suddenly, his huge body with death was exposed in front of his eyes. All this caused the protagonist's spiritual world to collapse instantly, and the instinctive reaction of the body temporarily replaced the brain to direct the action. Whether the light is on or off naturally does not matter. After a brief collapse, there is continuous confusion. Naturally, the past will not recur one by one, but three or two trivial fragments are enough to evoke mixed feelings. At this time, we have regained a certain consciousness, instinctively want to talk and seek comfort, but often keep silent. Staring at old things in silence, or wandering aimlessly in a corner. The feasts and feasts experienced by the protagonist in the film under the leadership of the writer are only the product of the protagonist's brief vent. The unexperienced freshness, as well as the sensual stimulation of the senses, brought only further confusion and confusion. In the end, only alcohol can be used to numb the spirit and give up thinking. After the constant confusion, there is an uncontrollable madness. As the protagonist said, the fanatical attachment to the young female subordinate has nothing to do with the body, but the representation of the protagonist’s attachment to life, like a hungry dog ​​smelling the breath of flesh. Usually this kind of attachment to life should be relieved through the love for the offspring and the love feedback from the offspring. But the son's refusal blocked this formal channel, and the female subordinate who had hit and run by mistake became the only target for this madness. It's like a person who falls into the water desperately grabbing everything that can float around him, even if he drags those who come to rescue him into the abyss. After being rejected by the female subordinate, the protagonist of the "crazy" turned to "do one thing" under the guidance of the female subordinate, to be precise, to do something that can make one feel vitality. After the goal was finalized (to build the park), this goal replaced the female subordinates and became the protagonist's support for craziness, and everything gave way to this. Just as the veteran cadres who are about to retire are the people most nobody wants to mess with in the organization, so is the protagonist who is about to die. Because at this time he can't get more in the game of life, or even more material is useless to them. They don't care about the outcome of the game, naturally they don't care about the rules of the game, and the "law-abiding" are naturally unwilling to provoke the "unable". The so-called soft, hard, hard, horizontal, afraid, stunned, afraid of death, that is the case. After the protagonist determines the goal, ignoring the rules of the game in the city hall, everything is just for the goal. He did follow the most basic officialdom rules, but that was just to achieve the goal faster. Underneath the seemingly calm body is an extremely crazy heart, which is why the gangster's deputy did not dare to look at the protagonist, and the gangster turned his head helplessly. No one will provoke mad believers. At two hours in the film, the protagonist who fell on the construction site was lifted up by the neighborhood and sat aside looking up at the construction site. The sun shone across the brim of the hat and covered half of the protagonist’s face. Although the other half was in the dark, his smile "like looking Happy as my own children. The "crazy" rejected by his son finally moved to the goal of the park. At the end, the protagonist laughed on the swing, not only felt the love of the "offspring", but also finally tasted the "taste of life" and "crazy" after being relieved. If death is bound to come, at least when he comes, he will be calmer and more empty. Of course, the point worthy of discussion and analysis in this film goes far beyond that. The splendid officialdom group portraits in the second half, the malformed family relationships, and the small representatives of the people who applied for the construction of the park, which only saw women throughout the story, are worthy of careful consideration. This is exactly where short films can be compared to novels: there is less actual content and more metaphors. Sheng Yi He Huan There is no fear of death.
