Do you want to believe in yourself again

This movie was watched at an animation club screening event on the freshman campus. When I first arrived there, I felt the nostalgia for graduation in one year, plus I still had the key to my own professional teaching, so I wanted to leave. Go check it out. When I was in college before, I was very excited when I got the keys. Every weekend, I would go to the teacher to recite Level 4 vocabulary and occupies the entire classroom. When I got tired, I stood on the windowsill and looked down at the unmanned atrium downstairs. , Suddenly became energetic, and sincerely believed that he would accomplish something in these four years.
Now I’m on a familiar floor but I have forgotten which classroom it is. I took the key and tried a whole row of classrooms one by one. None of them could be opened, as if I was locked in a corner of a classroom here before. Inside, and I was locked outside and at a loss. I laughed at myself as Gu Cheng wrote in "The Alley", "Take an old key and knock on a thick wall."
Fortunately, I was fortunate enough to finish watching the film shortly afterwards. Although I dare not say that I understood it completely, I was deeply moved. This is not a great story, but it has a great narrative technique. The director used surrealism. The approach of doctrine makes the story run wild from beginning to end, and it is extremely joyful, and there are many unidentified but powerful symbolic descriptions interspersed in the middle, making it full of literary and artistic flavor.
As far as my personal feelings are concerned, the main story of this film is probably a story about facing oneself honestly and facing life seriously. If time can be turned back, this is an overused proposition, all of us have no time belt, and there is no way to go back to the past and start again, then what can we do? In fact, you can only face yourself, know yourself, and change yourself. I can’t find a purpose in the cage of life. The protagonists live in a muddle-headed manner. They don’t understand what they really want to do until they reach the whale belly, and then they know that whether it’s a reinforced concrete city or a whale’s black belly, there are actually Blue sky.
Two of my favorite shots in the whole film, one is a race with God, and the other is from a whale belly. Although these two shots have no lines, the latter is even more than 10 minutes long, but I just like this kind of running. A sense of dynamism, perhaps this attitude of running toward life makes me the most touched.
The key of the past cannot open the door of the future. Once I wanted to throw the key in a corner of the campus, I carefully put it back in my wallet, as a lucky thing, although it can no longer open any door , But it allows me to remind me a little when I am confused the next year, I have watched such a film, I want to be honest, I have to work hard, I think of what the male protagonist said to himself after running through God in a race, try again Believe in yourself once.
