Probably a good movie is when the whole situation is dark and silent, and you want to stay in that situation for a while because there are so many emotions and thoughts to sort out.
I feel sympathy for the protagonist, the citizen section chief, who sees him being bored and busy for 30 years, doing everything for his son but finally estranged from his son. When I met a young and happy girl, from being infected and feeling happy to being disgusted and scared, finally I was inspired to make up my mind, accompanied by the happy birthday song, I felt uplifted; at the funeral, he pieced together his last efforts in the meeting of the crowd, I feel admiration; others disapprove of his virtue and speculate at random, feel a little wronged but also find it ridiculous (because he definitely doesn’t care); people feel ironic for the various attitudes they show to excuse themselves; , feel helpless.
There are also feelings and confusion. What I feel is that the "public servant without selfishness" is really ironic. Who has no selfishness? With this kind of request, you will only deceive yourself. Perhaps admitting selfishness and clarifying power and responsibilities is more conducive to the solution and development of things. What is confusing is, if the citizen section chief hadn't died of stomach cancer soon, would he still have such a chance for self-reflection? And the people who were moved by his experience to reflect on themselves, why did they return to their original state after everything subsided? People die at any time, don't they? Maybe this sentence is just talk, and it has never been taken seriously.
Fortunately, we can take a lesson from watching movies. Life is long and life is for our own meaning. The sooner the better.
