The way out

Margarita 2021-12-13 08:01:12

The male protagonist in the movie The fall is unable to live with a broken heart, and is bent on death in order to get rid of it. The innocent and lovely girl Alexandra accidentally broke into his ward, listened to his stories, and slowly became fascinated by the fantasy world created by the two people together. He tricked the little girl into stealing Morphine and sleeping pills for him, saying that he needed sleep to continue telling the story; the little girl accidentally fell from a height in order to get the medicine bottle. . . When the little girl woke up after the operation, he finished the story with tears. Faced with the killing and mutilation of the enemy, the protagonist in the story would not resist anyhow, because of the great pain and despair in his heart, he only longed to be able to rise from heights. Falling everywhere, never awakening. But the little girl insisted on asking him to live, why not? She insisted and asked again and again, and he refused and insisted on letting the story end in death, because his strong desire to die was about to be completed. He refuses to look back... When the tears have flowed to the end, the heartache and despair have ended, and the death has been completed; he resurrected the protagonist of the story from suffocation, knocked down the enemy, picked up the little daughter in the story, and left and started again. new life.



The tension in the movie is not obvious; because there is a lot of humor, a lot of love, because of the cuteness of the characters. The determination of a suicide-seeking person to give up everything, always insisting on letting it fall and fall. This boldness and determination, some of the cruelty that is forced to show the audience, also makes people understand and awe at suicide and despair itself. . People have different pains, big or small, or there is a solution or not; when the inner pain is to the extreme, there are also situations in which people are suffering no matter how long they are alive; are people looking for answers and ways out-despair is not the answer; in fact, it is one An inextricable emotion, a belief that the actual effort to find an answer and a way out is invalid, and refuse to act. Can this kind of great pain and despair be avoided in real life--sometimes, time, space, and people around are indeed inevitable--people are animals first, and there can be no too much emotional and emotional pressure. When it is unable to carry it, it is necessary to let it go, and there is so much truth in it. What's more, if you use rational analysis, it is often the deep suffering in a circle that traps people. Outside this circle, there is an infinite world. With courage and determination much smaller than death, try to be unknown, unfamiliar, and bear with the first life. The cold and painful pain may be a new vast world.



See death through the eyes of children. The little girl accidentally saw a mother who lost her son in the hospital morgue. After the doctor went out, she suddenly pinched her son’s feet and beat him in the face, wake up, wake up!!! That kind of madness, anger, pain, Horror, suddenly showing the distance between birth and death, maybe only on the front line, maybe it's eternity forever. The little girl was shocked. Me too. Those who are going to say goodbye to their mother, please stay, if you can, because this death is so cold and not as bearable as you think.



At the end of the film, there are two sets of old movie shots with 16 frames recorded and 24 frames played. One group is extremely lucky, escaped from the mortal realm and saved various situations, and the second group is extremely unfortunate, people in train collisions and car accidents. All kinds of scenes of the victims were screened amidst the giggles of the little girl watching the movie, making people feel the joys and sorrows of life and death, happiness and misfortune, impermanence and normal life. In the eyes of the little girl, there was nothing. So many meanings. Not resenting the unfairness of heaven, there will be some dying to the dead. I hope that everyone’s suffering will be less, and that there will be more comfort and support; I hope that life will have less persecution, less desperate situations, and more caring and understanding; I hope people can be more patient, believe more, and try more. --This is all plain hope.

    I copied a bunch of movies to my hard drive, and it turned out that this was the first movie I watched in more than three months...

    On a lazy Sunday night, watching such a beautiful movie on the sofa at home, the picture is so strange and gorgeous that it is amazing. The second half was very touching, the little girl cried with Lee Pace, it was so sad to see. So beautiful, like a dream.
