The first time I heard the name of this movie was when I was a freshman in high school, and I heard the same table recommend this movie to me, saying how good it is. When I got home from the holiday, I searched it casually, and when I saw the whole drama in English, I lost interest in it. Until my junior year, I stumbled across this movie by accident. Then I watched it for the first time and regretted not watching it sooner after watching it. The film is also highly rated on Douban, with a score of 9.4.
1. Loneliness is the essence of human beings, and it is also the beginning of the consummation of life.
More than 2,000 years ago, Plato wrote a fable in "The Symposium": He said that people are actually incomplete individuals that have been split in half, so we The whole life is going to find the other half, it may be found, it may not be found. This fable has two meanings: first, loneliness is the essence of human beings; second, love is a force for good and beauty. Born alone, killer Leon, his life is even more lonely. We can see that he traveled from Italy to the United States alone to make a living, to carry out missions, and to reclusive. In his simple house, the bed, lamp, sofa, plants, weapons, and the rest is himself. His life is simple and regular. He opens the window to let the sun enter the house, does sit-ups, eats and drinks milk, wipes green plants... After everything is cleaned up, he will go out to pick up tasks, and he will go to the cinema alone to watch movies. , In addition to his own joy, he also looks back from time to time, wanting to share his own happiness with others.
He treats his pot of green plants carefully, pruning, watering, and wiping the leaves. In his monotonous and gloomy life, the green plants bring him light like his friends, and accompany him without abandoning him.
Perhaps the green plant is himself, with life but no roots, living in the dark, but yearning for the sun.
When Martina's family was killed and hid in Lyon's house and cried, the unsmiling Lyon tried to comfort her: "Don't scold pigs like that, they are usually better than many people... In fact I have one in the kitchen, it It's clean and fragrant." Then he came out with the doll, imitating the pig's voice, and asked Martina, "How was your day?"
Madisha was born in an unfortunate family, her father was a drug lord, selfish and greedy, Her mother is a stepmother, and her half-sister is domineering and bullying her. The only thing she misses is her 4-year-old younger brother, who was also killed by bad guys.
**She has been living in loneliness and pain, and the pain that accompanied her growing up made her unable to find her own existence and value. **There is a detail in the movie, when she got a call from the school teacher who asked where Martina was, she pretended to be her mother and said she was dead.
A little girl said that she herself was dead. Only she herself knew the despair and helplessness in it. She grew up in an unloving and violent family, smoking, wearing mature clothes, and rebellion are all behaviors she longs for love.
She imagined that only adults have the ability to love others, so she lied about her age, pretended to be an adult, and everything in the hope of being loved. In the "family of origin" theory, one thing is this: your dark feelings that have been difficult to be understood and accepted by others and yourself, and seem to have nowhere to put, actually come from your family, and mainly from Your relationship with your parents.
At this time, I suddenly thought of a sentence that a lucky childhood can heal a lifetime, and an unfortunate childhood needs a lifetime to heal . It shows how much a family has an impact on a child.
At the end of the film, after Leon confirmed Martina's enemy, he pulled the safety core of the grenade and killed the enemy. This is what he did for the little girl at last. At the same time, it also fulfilled her wish and gave her a new life. The ending is very sad, perhaps only such an ending will be interesting.
Among all the good works, what moves us the most is always the most real and moving human nature. Times change, history flows, and the warmth of human nature can penetrate time and space and reach the depths of our hearts again. The end of the movie is actually the beginning. We have reason to believe that Leon has found the place of his life and his home; Martina has also found the meaning of her life and returned to the most real humanity.
