Since I was a child, I have heard my grandmother ramble about: "People are just scoundrels. As scoundrels, the days are over."
Although the "Chang'e" exploration satellite is still flying around the moon, and although Armstrong walked on the moon early, who can live day after day? It is the "day" that can be called great. Although the days are as hard as cold steel.
Once the days are gone, it is the heaven upon which God rests. That's just the illusory bliss of human subjectivity. Only the days that have passed, occasionally think about it, it is like a dream, floating like a fairy, but it will never return. All man-made things will appear eclipsed in the face of "days".
Just like Lubitsch's "Heaven Can Wait" in 1943, Douglas Seck's "All That Heaven Allows" in 1955, and more like Terrence Malick's "Paradise" in 1978 day". Three American films, representing different narrative image styles. "Heaven Can Wait", the joy is mixed with the slightest pain. Loving and being loved constitute the edge background of happiness in the long river of life. At that time, Fassbender liked "Everything Heaven Allows" and made "Fear Eats the Heart" as a tribute to the old German director he respected. And "Days of Heaven", the narrative in it feels swollen and depressing, and it is more of a delicate, natural and beautiful image style, which deeply attracts the eye.
Movies about heaven, in addition to the United States, there are such as Italy's "Paradise Cinema" and Iran's "Colors of Heaven" and so on.
Why are you talking about heaven. Because for ordinary people, living a good life is the real paradise. More leisure is paradise within reach. Plainness, abundance and spiritual abundance are a paradise of contentment. Heaven after man, who knows how much. Therefore, heaven cannot wait, the key is to live a good day, which is neither decadent nor absurd, this is true and extremely real.
