The taste of life grows in meaninglessness

Agent, literally translated as "station manager", refers to the protagonist Fen. The role of Fen must be the hard work and crystallization of the screenwriter. What he represents is not the dwarf (handicapped) who exists in life. I think in a broader sense, he represents many adults who have suffered trauma and escaped reality. people. Just like Olivia, who lost her son in the middle age and faced a marital crisis, is also like Joe, a young man who wanders alone and has a bad relationship with his father. Most of the time, this movie is a meaningless display of life. Strictly speaking, without a complete story structure, it is not even a complete movie. However, until the end, you still don't feel that the 90-minute period seems to be a fake for the soul. It is really like a translation of the name, and you have come to a "mind station". Fen is a train enthusiast. He is keen on chasing meaningless trains in a boring life, calculating the time of train arrival, repairing old train cars, walking back and forth on the tracks alone,..., What a meaningless life, but such a life made up for his broken and indifferent heart. Olivia is a neurotic painter. She is used to drinking coffee and two spoons of sugar. She has a weird temper. She lives alone in a forest hut and paints the same strange face over and over again.... Later, she and Fen met. , A bottle of wine, a dinner, in exchange for a kiss and a hug, the days have quietly changed in countless meaninglessness. Joe is a enthusiastic, cheerful, and a person with ADHD who likes to cook. He enjoys his life in a boring life. Driving a coffee car to sell happiness to sporadic passers-by, having fun with children playing football on the roadside, sticking to Fen and Olivia like a worm, and occasionally lusting for beautiful women,..., Most importantly, at the end of the movie, he was sitting in the hospital corridor, quietly reading a novel, waiting for the sick Olivia to finish. These many meaningless, at least taught him to read carefully. Li Yuansheng wrote in "I want to spend time with you": "I want to spend time with you, such as looking down at fish, such as leaving tea cups on the table, leaving and wasting their beautiful shadows. I also want to waste the sunset, such as walking all the time. When the sky is full of stars, I have to waste my time sitting in the hallway in a daze, until the dark clouds in your eyes are all blown out of the window. In this way, the flowers and plants are wasted, life should be as beautiful and meaningless as they are. Those desperate love and death in the wasted movies bring us a short silence. I want to waste a short and long silence with you. Meaningless to spend together
