The past is like clouds, bravely move forward

A classic and old film of more than 20 years, I still feel deeply when I watch it today. The camera switches slowly, telling the ordinary life of a Finnish couple in a straightforward manner.

Middle-aged unemployed, difficult to find a job, but a medical examination... The couple encountered a series of bad things. Real life is this tone, don't expect anything good to come.

At the moment when my husband's huge body fell, I saw the collapse of an adult, which seemed exaggerated and real; the wife vomited wildly after being drunk, and the poor people mostly drink to temporarily forget their troubles.

Life goes on. In order to support his lover to open a restaurant, Laurie sold a car to raise money; They are always together and love is for each other.

The TV and furniture were all sold out, and the husband was still buying flowers. No matter how poor he is, he must pursue romance. Laurie, who is stern, holds a rose in his hand. There are many places in the film that reflect the contrast of the little people.

The atmosphere of the film is dull and solemn. No more short conversations, unsmiling expressions, static backgrounds, are all to create an overall depression. There are also some distinctive elements, such as the red coat of the heroine.

Life is always dark and bright, the old guys are working hard, the former boss brought the curtains left from the old days, and the restaurant finally opened in a decent manner.

A long and anxious wait followed. The clock is ticking, and everyone's heart is in their throats. I'm afraid the director will let them fall into the abyss again. As a result, she received a large order, and the heroine, who turned her back, held back her tears.

In the end, the couple hugged the dog and looked up at the clouds together, with a calm and natural expression. They never gave up hope, and life finally treated the simple and kind-hearted people kindly.

Thanks to this, it also gave me more courage to face the unknown.

The past is like a cloud, just feel the clouds and clouds.
