Sources of willpower are not scarce, everyone has a chance

The male protagonist is Xiao Zhan. Xiao Zhan is so handsome, so handsome that I have no chance at all. He is so handsome that any angle is perfect.

There are quite a few flashbacks in the film that can help you understand the character's change of mind.

Allen was trapped for 5 days and 5 nights, suffering from pain, fear, struggle, disappointment, hunger, collapse... When his physical and mental capacity reached the limit, he could only rely on memories to support himself to survive. The emotional connection with his parents, sister, lover, and friends is the biggest motivation for him to rekindle his fighting spirit after numerous collapses, and finally decide to break his arm to survive.

This stone has been waiting for me, even though it used to be a meteorite that passed through the atmosphere 10,000 trillion years ago and has been waiting for me. My whole life has been for this moment, from the moment I was born, every breath, every movement of mine, was meant to bring me here, into the cracks of the earth.

The process of breaking the arm was quite brutal. He first broke the bones by himself, and then used the only knife to break the tendons of the hand, and forcibly tore the arm off. Don't talk about the picture, just typing this sentence makes me take a deep breath.

At the end of the movie, a photo of the prototype Aaron himself was released. His forearm was gone, but he still continued his love of diving, climbing, and marrying a wife and having children. The only difference from before the broken arm is that every time he goes out, he leaves a message to tell his family where he went.

The film touched me mainly because Allen's will to survive was too strong. I can't imagine how I would face it if I was also in a desperate situation, but his experience gave me some references.

First of all, Aaron was born in a good family, his father took him to explore nature since he was a child, and his mother and sister also cared about him; secondly, he loves adventure, often goes outdoors, and has an optimistic and outgoing personality. When I get angry, I pick up the camera and take pictures and laugh at myself. When I encounter lost people, I will take the initiative to help and take them to interesting places.

Allen's social relationships are healthy, he is loved and knows how to love the world and others. I think this positive emotional flow gave him the strength to face adversity, survive, and have the opportunity to continue to do what he likes and love the people he wants to love.

Thinking about it this way, the source of willpower is not scarce, everyone has the opportunity, that is to know how to love and be loved.

I learned it in a virtual way, and then I learned something real. Bring your mobile phone wherever you go, tell others where you are, and don’t lose contact with the world. This is very important.

    What does this film tell us about this life?

  • Griffin 2022-04-24 07:01:03

    Only Danny Boyle can make drinking water feel like a drug addict. Thinking of the best things in life leads to the strongest desire to survive. Congratulations to the ghosts for returning to the top after train guessing. That kind of understanding of music and subtle grasp of human nature cannot be replaced by other directors. The triple comprehension of hearing, vision, and feeling is the film.
