On the whole, there is a kind of "looks beautiful" + "aunt's postmodern life" + "this killer is not too cold",
so in a simple situation in a seemingly simple building, different living conditions of different people happened. , like our daily life, you will inadvertently start to pay attention to some ordinary people and things around you, like the girl in "Amelie". But so what, do you think life is beautiful?
A girl who has just stepped out of childhood may have the idea of "life is so hard, or is it only in childhood", she is not hard, but she has the idea of ending her life at an age when life should be flourishing, I can't see it here Despair is more of a curiosity about death and a struggle against the blandness of life. The two gradually aging lives, with the hardships of life, rekindled their enthusiasm and excitement for life under some coincidence. This is really a contrast deliberately arranged by the author. As for those mediocre middle-aged people, their lives seem to be just completing an extremely ordinary life process, and their emotions and conflicts are just inadvertent farts in daily life, which is also the background setting of the movie. It seems that childhood and old age have more and more interesting experiences with life, but this is not the case. Middle-aged people are busy surviving and living.
Talking about the janitor, one of the main feelings of this movie can be seen more in the janitor, that is, people's love for life is often inseparable from books, just like the worship of knowledge in many great movies, right Brave compliments and more. What is embodied here is a state of forbearance and even cynicism. She is hidden in the city. This old and ugly woman lives very decently in that small bookstore, but the escape and emotional panic in the face of reality are books no matter what. What cannot be changed is that people live in reality. It is a person who needs to experience ups and downs to become a social attribute. In the ending, the auntie who left the door suddenly left after harvesting beautiful emotions may also be such a portrayal. This kind of life is vulnerable and full of bizarre, and it is an unstable life. This beautiful emotion is like a shooting star, short-lived beautiful and full of regrets.
The janitor has a role similar to the "sweeping monk" in our discourse, but the sweeping monk is generally not moved by the common feelings of the world. It must be the hatred of the family and the country that shows the mountains and dew, and returns to calm after the situation is calmed down. The caretaker aunt died in sweet feelings before she could return, which is also a different French style, but the aunt's story is always about love, and the story of a Japanese old handsome man and a little girl. Just like the lyrics in Xu Wei's "Story": There is always love in the story, no matter what kind of hardships and twists there are. - It's just a story.
The encounter with a Japanese old handsome man makes ordinary people have a little curiosity about the boring daily life, and the destruction of the beautiful emotions in the ending brings people back to the cruel reality. The death of the janitor is not much different from the death of the second idiot, it is just a topic of discussion in the residential building. The private property of emotion is only attached to a specific living body. The world is business as usual.
The gentleman and delicate emotions of this old Japanese handsome man are enough to form a fatal attraction to any woman, including young women, not to mention the aristocratic class. The appearance of this character is very important to the advancement of the whole story. His observation of the janitor can see her deep inside, and his relationship with the little girl is also warm and caring. Just imagine, if it wasn't for the appearance of this character, the aunt was still watching the door, the little girl was still counting down the death, and no one noticed or changed all of this, then this hedgehog would not be graceful and only sad.
Even so, this film seems to have another interpretation about the elegance of the hedgehog. The elegance of the hedgehog needs a friend. If the aunt only reads books and guards the door, the hedgehog is lonely and elegant, and these beautiful surprises in life will never be forgotten. It happens, so it's a very passive grace that needs to be recognized by others. And as a hedgehog, it is also a last resort, changing himself into what others should be in the eyes of others. Just like us, let’s not talk about whether we are elegant or not. Why don’t everyone just be a hedgehog and become what a certain role in society should be. It is rare to maintain elegance, continue to love literature, and love life, not an ordinary hedgehog .
