An article written after watching a movie

Azer is old, this time is really old. Compared to the self-righteous old age of 24, 60-year-old is always the evidence. Time is a blunt knife. It took so many years to draw down along the existing body lines of the human body, like a frog boiled in warm water, pulling people from life to death. However, Aze hoped that the knife would be sharper. If he carved out the outline of life earlier, he would not have to endure the torture of ordinary time at the age of 60. Aze's wife has passed away. He caught up with the two-child policy and gave birth to a child. Now the children are not around. Daily video greetings are enough. With the popularization of intelligent life, life needs are very convenient. Ze is satisfied. "At fifty you know the mandate of heaven, at sixty your ears are obedient, at seventy you follow your heart's desire, and don't go beyond the norm." After knowing the mandate of heaven, Aze felt that what the Master said was wrong. Seventy and follow your heart, what about the previous seventy years? Aze wakes up earlier and spends more and more time staring at the ceiling, and the old lady downstairs is no longer interested in inviting him to the square dance. He thought he had everything in his life, family, career. But this feeling, the feeling of staring at the ceiling, seemed familiar, the emotions surging in his mind spread around the bed, filling the room, he was about to drown, but he was unwilling to go out of the room, as if he was expecting, like every time before After drowning, you can see the vast ocean waiting for you after rushing out of the water; and as if in fear, what if you just surfaced in a swimming pool pretending to be a blue sky and sea? Recently, he has become more and more familiar with the steps of square dancing. He has only retired for half a year, but he has become one with the uncles and aunts in the square. This is probably his professionalism. He quickly knows the people around him, establishes relationships, and integrates into the environment. Life is always about progress, he told himself. He is always reluctant to be idle, and he hopes to write "this happy and fulfilling life" on the epitaph. But when he looked at the ceiling, he thought of his own happiness. Is the happiness of these 60 years really happy? These seem substantial, but are they true? He began to fall into emptiness again. Yes, this is not the first time. Starting from the age of 20, when looking for a job, you will find that the advantages of the previous 20 years are nothing; at the age of 30, when you get married, you will find that the person you thought you loved and the love you have had before are nothing; four At the age of ten, listening to the commendation announced by his unit, he recalled his goals and found that what he had done was still nothing; at the age of fifty-five, when he had a grandson, he thought he would do something meaningful, but his wife died. Later, he saw his grandson less time; now, at the age of sixty, in retrospect, he realized that this life was too ordinary. When you were born with an ideal, you thought that when you were changing the world, now it seems that it is just something that a small person in all living beings can do, nothing special, or even mediocre. Maybe jump out of this earth to get out of this mediocre category, he thought. So, he looked at the ceiling, as if he was thinking, what kind of job can he find to change the world? But I have already experienced such a time. In case, when I was 100 years old, my peers jumped out of the earth, wouldn't I still be mediocre? It's not that he didn't think about death, but death is too mediocre. Everyone will die. The probability of death is even greater than the probability of escaping from the earth. After looking at the ceiling for two months, he was absent-minded when he danced square dance. Thinking about whether people in outer space are also dancing square dance? The old ladies still liked him very much, but the more they got a sense of love, the less confident they were in themselves. Are you the same as the other old men? Not unique enough? That's why I became a person who was loved by fraternity, which is still too common. He was about to drown in his own ceiling, but he couldn't die, what a mediocre death. The phone rang, and his ceiling finally disappeared. The doctor who had just examined him said that he suffered from Diesoide disease, which is a one in 100,000,000 chance in the world, and he needed to cooperate with the world's top drug research center for treatment. After all, there has been no incurable disease in the world for a long time. He seems to have returned to the feeling of getting a job, finding a wife, getting a promotion and a salary increase when he was young, excited. This time, it is different from before. He is so rare, so rare. After hearing his consent, the doctor hung up the phone, flipped through the documents from his superiors in the hospital office, and muttered, "Dysoh's disease has been confirmed to be transmitted through water at a rate of 365 people per minute, The onset time is 6 months, patients who do not know the disease can live the rest of their lives in peace, and patients who know the disease will die within a week. I know that I have a disease that everyone in the world has, and it is very mediocre. However, perhaps, knowing, and dying, will not be mediocre. Too much death, but death is too mediocre, everyone will die, the probability of death is even greater, even greater than the probability of escaping from the earth.

The hospital office turned over the documents sent by the superiors and muttered, "Disorder disease has been confirmed to be transmitted through water, with a transmission rate of 365 people per minute, an onset time of 6 months, and patients who do not know the disease. But I can live the rest of my life safely, and the patient who knows the condition will die within a week, and the hospital decides not to study the disease, and as long as the patient is not told, the disease will not happen for life."

    In the first half of the sequence, a narration is also used; in the second half of the sequence, flashbacks are used to interject, and the whole process is not vulgarly laid out. The technique is very amazing. It feels similar to Rashomon and has a bit of an allegory in it, and the ending is also ironic. It's strange that it feels very compact after more than two hours. This is Kurosawa's skill, right?

    "The Desire of Life" is based on a terminally ill civil servant. As the director, Akira Kurosawa once again used the narrative technique of "Rashomon" and the distinctive group portraits to construct a very philosophical story. Between life and death, the film not only criticizes and satirizes the corruption of the bureaucracy, but also uses its own lens to show the audience what is the meaning of life.

Ikiru quotes

  • Mitsuo Watanabe, Kanji's son: Uncle, he even withdrew 50,000 yen.

    Kiichi Watanabe, Kanji's Brother: That miser? I wonder if he's got a woman? That would really be something.

    Tatsu Watanabe, Kiichi's Wife: Now dear.

    Mitsuo Watanabe, Kanji's son: I'm sure it's not that.

    Kiichi Watanabe, Kanji's Brother: There's no telling when it comes to love. The ones you least expect are the most susceptible. If you ask me, he's actually a real lecher. A lecher with a solemn veneer. But he's stayed widowed these 20 years for you. It makes sense that he'd eventually snap, right?

  • Tatsu Watanabe, Kiichi's Wife: My husband thinks all men are as debauched as he is.
