In the Spring Festival of 10 years, after dinner one night, I chatted with everyone in the store. Outside, the sea breeze slapped the poster that said "OPEN" hanging outside the door. The "Sunny Day" diagonally opposite is noisy as usual. The sound of the guitar floated in from the outside, and I didn't know which tune it was for a while, but it felt very familiar. It was only until the climax that I realized that it was the famous knockin' on heaven's door. Following the sound, there was already a circle of people around the door of Sunny Day. Among the few foreigners in the middle was a tourist about forty years old who looked like a scholar and played the guitar with great interest and pride, completely intoxicated in the world of several people, as if he was playing his own concert. At that moment, they seemed to have found their own paradise. After the song was played, the crowd applauded, and they nodded their thanks, then picked up the wine bottle at their feet and drank happily.

Recalling this scene again, it is already the early winter after nearly two years. Only then did I know that there was a movie with the same name as this song, a black comedy from Germany. Two prisoners lived in the same cell, one had brain cancer, the other had bone marrow cancer, and they decided to escape from the prison. sea. All kinds of adventures along the way, and finally reached the seaside, the familiar melody sounded, and suddenly petrified.


"There is only one theme in heaven, and that is the sea. How spectacular is a fireball falling into the sea at dusk. The only thing left is the fire of the soul like candlelight." Under the radiance of the sky, the whole world can hear each other's breathing quietly. It seemed that at that moment, we were able to knock on each other's heaven's door.

Mama, take this badge off of me
I can't use it anymore.
It's gettin' dark, too dark to see
I feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door.

Knock, knock, knockin'
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door

Mama, put my guns in the ground
I can't shoot them anymore.
That long black cloud is comin' down
I feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door.

Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door

  • Martin Brest: In heaven, they're talking about nothing but the sea and how wonderful it is. They talk about the sunsets they saw, they talk about how the sun turned blood red before diving into the sea and they talk about how they could feel how the sun lost its power and the coolness from the sea and all that fire was only glowing inside.
