You have a direction, but no destination

Before watching this movie,
Hee Hee and Xiao A were still having a heated discussion about some things in entrepreneurship,
so that the mood that finally adjusted back in the afternoon suddenly became extremely irritable!
When I finally couldn't bear it anymore, I brutally interrupted Xiao A's words,
forcibly opened KMPlayer, and threw the "One Week" I downloaded earlier.
As the screen started, the music played, and we quieted down.
...

If I have to summarize the theme of this film,
I can only say that this is a film that explores the meaning of life.
------- Seems like a heavy topic.
Fortunately, the director did not let the whole film fall into this suffocating tangle of fate.
Instead, he used clear pictures, bright colors and brisk melody
to show the small confusions in our lives one by one, questioning, To answer again...
There is no strong visual shock,
no ups and downs in the plot,
and no wise words for people to think about.

However,
at the 29th minute of the film,
when Ben told Passerby A that he was going to the west, but he didn't know where to go,
Passerby A lit the marijuana in his hand and concluded:
"So, you have a direction, But there is no destination.”

At that moment, there was a little surprise, a little touch, and a little sense of recognition.
But can't say why.
...
then, let's keep it silent~

Well - this Canadian movie "One Week",
I recommend it!
