The original title of this film is Wristcutters: A Love Story, which should be literally translated as Wrist Cutters: A Love Story, but it fits the theme of the film. There are those who cut the wrists, and there are those who take drugs. In short, all suicides will stay there, not a concentration camp for those who cut their wrists. MTIME translates it as "Love Traveler", which is somewhat inexplicable. Although there is love, there is also travel. What about people? It's still human, but the combination of the three words makes people wonder what the translator wants to express. When discussing the translation of the name, the story has actually been spoiled. By the way, this is a story about a suicide.
After people are disappointed with the real world, they often think about ending their own lives, dying and going to a quiet world that has nothing to do with reality. Is there really such a world? Can you really get rid of the troubles in front of you? To what extent does death resolve the wishes of the suicidal person? The film offers a frustrating answer. That world is not beautiful at all, gloomy, gloomy and sultry, and it is inextricably linked with the world before you came. Your troubles did not die with your suicide, on the contrary, they still cling to you tightly. , so that you can't live in peace, and you can't get rid of it.
In this world, your life has no purpose, you have nothing to do, you wander around aimlessly, and you can only find purpose in life for yourself. In this world, what you are like in the real world is still the same here, your thoughts are still unresolved, you are still paying attention to everything in the world, but you will never know. In this world, it is far more boring than the world you came from, everything is tattered, barren and boring. In the real world, you live in a clean and tidy house, and everything in the house reflects your tastes and hobbies, but here, you have to share a room with others, and you have to be constantly affected by others' opinions on your living habits. accuse. It is very likely that the people you meet here are just your relatives and friends in real life or people you don’t want to meet, and even a family committed suicide and came here to reunite, and still live as a family life. After escaping for a long time, you are still in your life.
Love? Of course there is in this relay station for suicides. The love here is no different from the real world, with both estrangement and betrayal; family? It seems that just like the human world, people always cut off the shackles of family affection, even if it is death, they are still no match for the care of their relatives; friendship? Of course, there are also two people who don't know each other with similar smells, and they can go to the end of the world together. Such a post-death world is simply a replica of the human world, just made old and tattered. If you have despaired of this world, will you kill yourself and come to such a world? If you are disappointed in the present world, you can die and come to this shabby version of the world; but if you are disappointed in the shabby version of the world, you have nowhere to run.
Dying is not easy. In this afterlife world, people who come here also have all kinds of disappointments, but they have nowhere to claim, because they don't know who is in charge of this place. They can only be like the world, just living, never seeing hope, and even the hope of death is a luxury for them. When the hero Zia saw everything after his death, and knew more about his girlfriend's betrayal in the underworld, he was extremely disappointed with this world and had a longing for the underworld. And the heroine is a poisonous insect who came to the underworld in a daze. She kept looking for the steward, wanting to return to the world where she still misses. In the end, the two fell in love in the underworld, and at the same time, they returned to the world at the same time.
When they woke up in the ward, the sun was shining brightly, and they looked at each other and smiled as brightly as the sun.
It's good to be alive.
