Two years later, I was in "Central Station" When she first saw Dora in the waiting hall, she sat behind a table writing a letter for someone, with a pair of glasses on the bridge of her nose, pretending to show herself a kind-hearted look, in order to deceive passersby. , To take advantage of the hopes of others and get a little money for herself. Her customers are illiterate people living at the bottom of society. They have no insight into the sly tricks that occasionally slip through her eyes, and happiness is overflowing in front of her. Telling about my various yearnings, but I was shocked by her eyes. I read the introduction of the story and knew that it was a story about an old woman and a little boy, but I did not expect this old woman to be a liar. , Looks old and ugly. I immediately thought of the woman on Genting, so I thought, this woman must have been a prostitute too, she was sitting there, carrying her past, and this movie is about her future .
Then the boy Joshua also appeared. Without the big clear and gentle eyes and innocent smiles that the children have always had in many movies, but with the uncomfortable precocious and suspicious eyes, and the lower level Growing up children's unique ability to observe words and colors. She couldn't help but looked at him several times. He looked at her too. His eyes were saying, "I hate you." And her eyes were saying, "Me too." The first time the protagonist meets, the old man is not kind, and the child is not cute. At the bustling Rio de Janeiro’s central station, the surrounding air is dry and sultry, and all kinds of degradation, decay and struggle are mixed in vitality, and it is bright in South America. The sunlight that had to shine through the walls was as brilliant as a dream.
Even so, they were arranged by fate to come together, the beginning of a story, even if there is no good reason, it can still be because of evil. The sudden death of Joshua’s mother in a car accident cannot be a reason for him to rely on Dora. She just wrote a letter for his mother, so she wouldn’t bear such a big responsibility for such a little contact. What's more, she originally wanted to deceive his mother's money, just like deceiving other people's money. Surprisingly, she was worse than people thought. She even sold him to a human dealer who reselled human organs, and then used the money to buy a TV. But she was not as evil as she had imagined. In the end, she really couldn't get through her conscience, and went to save the child.
After going back and forth, the two of them had no choice but to go on the road together. She had nowhere to go if she didn't send him off, and no one could believe him if he didn't believe her. Together they went to a place with a name that seemed to be at the end of the world. It is said that there is Joshua’s house, with a father and brothers. Two people who hated each other finally sat together, and the bus passed through the humid and hot summer night, and no one expected the dawn.
Every Dora had her own blooming youth, even though she may now be just a woman holding a wine bottle and filling herself so drunk. She woke up early in the morning and told the story of her youth. We saw the dead soul of a hopeless person. She has long been accustomed not to leave any thoughts to herself, completely stifling this thing called hope, even letters written for others, and never really sent it out, and she refuses to waste a point on things she doesn't believe in. money.
I hope that the delay will come, and the people who are waiting for it are dying. Even in a country as far away as Brazil, with bright sunshine like a dream for us, the hopes and disappointments of people and people are still so similar. A child naturally has the courage to believe in and pursue the beauty of this world, but for a woman like Dora, we follow her all the way down, but people can no longer complain about her indifference and ruthlessness. No one can truly understand her past, and she no longer mentions it, only talking about her father and mother. Has she ever been abandoned by a man? Of course, for a little boy, she can only talk about this. But we know that when we met her, she was already dead. Lies, steals, sells children... Everything is so natural for her to struggle to survive selfishly, decay penetrates into her heart, takes root, sprouts, and devours her conscience, despair and pain never hang on On the lips of a person who has not known happiness and hope for a long time. There was only one exception. She met a kind-hearted man and rushed forward desperately. The posture was almost like a fly seeing blood. There was no love to talk about. It was just a man who was about to drown and suddenly saw one. The root of life-saving straw, completely ignored his old and declining face, people can only see it speechless. She stood in front of the mirror in the bathroom of the gas station, putting on lipstick for the first time, the mottled painted wall in the toilet, and the vicissitudes of her face in the dirty mirror, the sun outside was still shining, her pair The drowning man's teeth were really terrified. He escaped quickly. In the days to come, this man might tell people the story of how he woke up in time and escaped the catastrophe without being dragged into the water by a dead woman. Fortunately he has a truck.
The story about human hope is nothing more than that. Struggling repeatedly in the process of hope and disappointment may be a process that everyone can't avoid in this life. This reminds me of the junior in "Guling Street Youth", the teenager who was once full of enthusiasm and faith in life. He was almost the predecessor of Dora. His father once said to him that as long as he believed, there was still hope in this world, so he believed. But that movie tells a story about the disillusionment of hope. When Xiao Si finally took out the knife in his hand and pierced Xiao Ming's body, he hated her for giving up so early. In his opinion, living like this is not as good as a dead person. However, countless Xiaoming and Xiaosi will still survive. Some of them are destined to become Dora in Rio de Janeiro station. Joshua is not a real starting point. His young heart is not enough to feel this person. The world is suffering and confused, Xiao Si is the starting point, and Dora is his future, a living dead. Between this starting point and ending point are probably the stories we have heard countless times.
Joshua finally found his home. In a cluster of new houses, a house painted with beautiful blue paint was as bright as a fairy tale. His father loved his mother, and his brothers were loyal and honest carpenters rather than alcoholics, which Dora had never expected. She thought the end was the end, but it turned out that her journey did not end. This is not the first time she has reawakened hope in life, but it has made her the most enlightened.
Losing hope at the starting point and retrieving it at the end. Dora's journey begins at night and ends at dawn. This may be a hint of the director's good intentions. In this life, is it really possible to find true inner peace only after experiencing so much suffering? When the journey of life is about to end, I will truly understand what hope is. It takes countless rebirths of life and death in the soul to truly see the dawn. Those answers that drift in the wind, my friend, have you ever been on the watch?
Finally, she sent those letters. After she learned to doubt for a lifetime, she learned to believe.
