The world will give you a kind when you are alone

Before watching "Kim's Crusoe", I also saw another "home" theme movie: "Tokyo Rhapsody" in Feng Junhao's third short film "Shake Tokyo", in which the "otaku" played by Kagawa Zhaozhi met by fate Falling in love with the potential "house girl" played by Yu Aoi, in order to meet her, for the first time in 10 years, he walked out of the room and into the street under the sun.

He found that the entire street was empty, and the whole of Tokyo was like a "no-man's land". It turned out that so many people shut the sun out, and the girl he loved insisted not to go out of the house. At this time, the earthquake in Tokyo Now, the otaku and otaku had to leave the room. I think the earthquake is not because of changes in the earth's crust, but the footsteps of this "otaku" going out subtly changed the frequency of the world's rotation, just like Miss Jin took her first step out of the room as the one that took Armstrong to the moon Just as significant.

"Kim's Crusoe" also has a setting about "No Man's Land": in a certain 20 minutes on a certain day in the spring and autumn of each year, the whole city changes from sudden noise to absolute emptyness due to the civil defense performance. At that time, Miss Jin, who had not been out for three years, would open the curtains and carefully observe her "ideal" world with binoculars. It was with this last bit of interest in this world that she stumbled upon Mr. Jin by accident.

Some people hide in their rooms to avoid the noise because they hate the noise. Others not only avoid the noise, but also pay close attention to the silence of the world even for a moment. I thought that a large grinding wheel would fall from the sky and everyone would be crushed to death, and I happened to be in the middle. However, both of them ended up walking out of the room.

However, these two films have a strange interpersonal chain: the two people who are the most reluctant to communicate with others are tied by a thread because of some accidental encounter, and then there is a connection to the outside world. With a single line, there is an interpersonal chain dedicated to "Otaku" and "Otaku".

Lin Shaohua wrote his interview with Haruki Murakami in the preface of "Kafka on the Shore", in which Haruki Murakami talked about his cognition of loneliness and communication: "Life is basically lonely, but at the same time, it is possible to overcome loneliness through loneliness. This channel communicates with others." "People always have to enter their own world, and there will be a sense of connection in the deepest place. Or people always have to dig deep, as long as they keep digging, they will be somewhere. Connect with others."

The incredible holding hands of these "homeboys" and "homegirls" reminds me of Murakami's words, because I think that maybe some people have been alone for so long that they have regained their animal-like sense of smell, and can smell the same kind of breath keenly, and finally At the loneliest time, he or she was found who was also lonely. Even without language communication, the loneliness of each other had resonated infinitely, so they held someone's hand and connected with whom.

Therefore, the friendship between the two pairs of "Otaku and Otaku" may be unbelievable in the eyes of ordinary people, but they are destined to be lucky, because "the world is sometimes lonely and needs another kind of person", and it happens that the world also knows you. So in the extreme loneliness, you held my hand in the sun. At this moment, more than one city, the whole earth shook with the vibration of our hearts, because of our luck.
