When I grow up, I realize that the cake is painted and the dream is fake

The reason is memory. Because the film is inspired by human experience.

shows how memories can not only deceive oneself, but also devour others. A rose that never wilts, like a lover's heart, if it exists, it's just an illusion created by a computer. And from the very beginning, the film has set up a "garbage collection team". Whether it is an invention or a crystallization of wisdom that human beings once regarded as treasures, if they are placed in the entire universe, they will one day be abandoned with the passage of time. Of all the materials, the one that can withstand the test of time and endure is probably the background music that plays behind you... Only art will last forever, soothing the hearts of human beings from generation to generation.

is one of my favorite parts. Both the soundtrack and the plot layout are lighthearted and humorous. Simply give. It also specially arranged the plot of the grandparents in the village who love Sun eagerly, bringing "human flavor" to the original dry story line, making the whole arrest process tense and exciting, and the reversal at the end also added a lot of dramatic effects.

An interesting point:

(In the wrestling between innocents and innocents, who is the audience sweating for? Is it sacrificing him alone? Or sacrificing everyone?) Because of the addition of warm scenes, the role of Xinnan is closer to us. Life itself, and those who died because of him became the background and props. We tend to ignore that they are real individuals.

Another two-sidedness shown in the film is also shown in: "The smelliest weapon" may be unfriendly to humans, but it is good for plants (all flowers are competing to open) Xinmen is a bit like us humans, in order to Our goals go forward foolishly, but "nature" is destroyed by the existence and development of human beings. As ordinary people, we do not consciously explore, and we are unaware of what is happening. In the end, only ourselves are left in this world. The film does not seem to be finished at the end, and its blank space is more memorable. Facing the empty world, what will Xinnan think? Therefore, the seriousness of this one is not inferior to the other two.

Everyone lives step by step, works day after day, and eventually becomes a part of a powerful war machine, but they don't know why. At the end of the film, the child asks: "Who are we fighting?" The father answers: "You will know when you grow up." When you grow up, you become a "worker", you know, it turns out that there is no real meaning Self-consciousness on the top, everyone is only a part of the collective consciousness: big enough to fight for some kind of revival! Small enough to work hard for a better life! But perhaps, these fictional concepts are the "imaginary enemy" that does not exist. When I grow up, I realize that the cake is painted and the dream is fake. Only then can I realize the absurdity of human life.
