People always need some ideals and beliefs, because these ideals and beliefs are not only to leave a thought for themselves, but also to leave some courage for themselves in a difficult and difficult environment, which is enough to support themselves to continue to live. This is the role of ideals and beliefs, if a person can put ideals and beliefs through their own lives, then can rub out other sparks are not necessarily, firm beliefs are often the guide to success, even if you do not finally succeed, but at least find a way forward.
The film I recommend to you today is about this kind of revered belief. "The Last Film Screening" is a story about a movie. There was a little boy who was living a hard time selling herbal tea at a small train station in the middle of nowhere, and one day he followed his father to the city to watch a movie. In the days that followed, he continued to crowd into the city's cinemas in various ways, and even became friends with the projectionists.
Immersed in the world of light and shadow, he gradually formed an indissoluble bond with movies, and slowly, the little boy began to use his knowledge to shoot his own films, and after the immature idea gradually became a reality, this happiness was about to end. The cinema is facing closure due to poor management, and at the same time, the boy's father's herbal tea business is also facing the dilemma of closing. Everything ushered in a new change, and the little boy began to face up to this change, but at this time, the father who saw his child facing the first re-choice in his life made a decision, which allowed the little boy to start his dream-building journey.
The Last Film Screening is a story related to the classic film Cinema Paradiso, or it could be said that this is the Indian version of Cinema Paradiso. Of course, India has its own national conditions, and in this context, the story we see seems to be a little more difficult.
After forming an indissoluble bond with the movie, the little boy's life is not as full of fantasy as imagined, and the little boy can immerse himself in the world of light and shadow on the one hand, but has to face the problems of the real world on the other hand. The world of light and shadow is beautiful and everyone is willing to participate, but as a low-level Indian citizen, the real world of the little boy has no way to support him to explore the world of light and shadow.
If "Cinema Paradiso" brings the audience a beautiful dreamlike world, then this film directly pulls the audience back, how can we balance the relationship between it and ideals and beliefs when we are facing the pressure of survival. Obviously, this is an unsolved puzzle, and it is definitely not the choice that the little boy presented to us in the film can make.
The hard life needs to be adjusted, and we need to use our faith to support ourselves in the face of unknown problems, but in reality, the world of light and shadow for the little boy may not be as we see as the audience, who can create his own dreams in a way that transcends reality. After all, what we see in front of the screen is the glamorous side of the little boy, but for him, this lingering light and shadow is like an illusory beauty, but in reality, the problems he has to face are far worse than a world supported by a beautiful illusion.
Everyone knows that India has a strict caste system, under which the family of low-caste boys is not only faced with a way to achieve their dreams, but also a possibility of survival. The little boy's father was only able to make a living on the herbal tea business before the train was improved, and in this predicament, for the movie, this is naturally a unimaginable world, and for the little boy, the movie world is a way to escape from the real world, after all, in the real world, he is a child at the bottom of society, and he was warned by the parents of other children not to allow high-caste children to play with him. However, in the virtual world of cinema, all this has changed.
After encountering setbacks in the real world, the little boy can find his self-esteem in the world of cinema, in which he is the dominant player and even has the potential to make films. This strong sense of honor brought by using movies has largely created the little boy's obsession with movies, and this obsession can also be seen as one of the choices for counterattack.
Everyone likes to watch inspirational stories, or those stories that have an inspirational plot and finally succeed, we as an ordinary person lack choices in many times, because in real life, even as an ordinary person, it is a luxury to have a smooth life, and when all kinds of troubles come to us, we need the courage to face it. Therefore, this is a kind of comfort that the illusory world gives us. Cinema takes on this role.
Even if people can realize that the truth and falsehood of the movie world are in a parallel relationship with real life, and there may not be any intersection between them, but even so, we are still willing to look for some opportunities to comfort our souls in the film world. People always need comfort, even if this comfort is out of reach in the real world, but as long as we have it, we can still find something of our own from it.
When you are crushed by life, maybe you should stop and rest, we can't change the world, but we can find a way to comfort ourselves, the road ahead is difficult, don't forget that there is "him".
