From eighteen to thirty years old, it should be said that it is the most struggling, confused and easily lost stage of life, and it is also the bravest, most youthful and most beautiful time.

About human nature, about growth, about love, about dreams ...... almost everything has gathered in these ten years.

ten years, it's gone in a blink of an eye, and no one will have a chance to come again.

sometimes, when we are at a loss, we always expect to get the ideal model of life from others, but the fact is never as we wish.

from the next semester of the first year of research, Peng Peng will spare at least 2-3 hours to watch a movie every week.

In the process of watching movies, trying to get into the role in movies often makes me feel alienated from real life.

This sense of alienation will help me to look at my environment, people and things around me from a new perspective, and avoid falling into a certain quagmire for a long time at a certain stage.

Maybe I go to school in a different place, and I don't make many friends and talk on weekdays, so to some extent, movies have become another bridge for me to communicate with reality.

I have a dark green notebook with the theme of movies. For every movie I have seen, I will leave a whole page to take notes, or impress my movie lines, or I will watch my own soul fragments.

when you look back, it's like seeing another version of yourself.

Today, I recommend eight movies to you, which, to some extent, gave me the courage to start over when I was confused, wanted to give up, and was intermittently decadent. I hope these movies will also bring positive power to a certain moment in my life.

Part I: A Picture Book of Plants

This movie tells the love story of the encounter between the female host and the male host.

Although it is a romantic movie, what impressed me most was the loneliness of the urbanite in the hostess. In the play, she once said to herself, "I really want to go home, but there is no one waiting for me."

In the process of watching the film, when the male host left without saying goodbye and the female host went crazy to look for the male host in every place where they got along, I saw my own tears at that moment.

Because at that time, what I saw was not the sadness caused by the departure of my lover, but a feeling of being left out by a woman who was alone in a big city, helpless and without sustenance, longing for love and being loved.

Peng likes the sentence at the beginning of the film: "Happy and unhappy people, happy and unhappy people, full-fledged people and empty people."

The biggest feeling this movie gave me was that only when a person learned to live and love himself can he have the happiness he expected.

love, sometimes, is a very simple thing.

know how to love yourself, then love others, and finally love each other.

Part II: Food, Prayer and Love

You can tell from the title that this is a healing film about food and love.

Liz, the hostess, has a beautiful marriage, loves her husband and has a thriving career in the eyes of outsiders. But it is a perfect life that makes the hostess want to break free desperately. It seems that at a certain moment, life is missing a lot of things that should be more exciting.

There is a comment at the bottom of the film that the hostess lives too hard and makes a mess of her good life.

But I still admire the hostess. In order to find the missing part of her heart, she followed her inner feelings and gave up her ideal marriage in the secular sense and her booming career.

Being alone, I went to a strange city to find the missing part of my heart through delicious food, meditation and unbearable solitude.

With this courage and courage, after some struggles and travels, she found true peace from the heart.

At the end of the film, she said:

Special note: the last hour of the film and the music are really breathtaking, which is highly recommended by five stars!

Part III: Little Women

The cream-colored French films are really healing.

every frame, every tone and every composition is extremely beautiful.

In addition to the aesthetic appreciation of the film, what Peng likes best is the values conveyed by the mother to her daughters in the film:

This paragraph of mother's sustenance for her children is out of date even today.

I think of a similar sentence Chanel said when I read Chanel's biography before, and I will share it with you here:

"People who care about themselves are always the oldest. It's useless to pat drooping meat, so it's better to massage their spirits.

Beauty should start from the heart and soul, otherwise, cosmetics are useless.

youth is perishable, but beauty is eternal. The real secret lies in transforming external beauty into internal beauty, which is a set of skills that many women can't understand. "

Part IV: Oxford Decryption

This is a biographical film, which tells the life story of James A·H· Murray, the original founder of the Oxford English Dictionary.

the English dictionary we use now cannot be separated from the contribution made by James A·H· Murray. If it weren't for him, the English language wouldn't be spread in such a standardized and universal way.

This film tells the story of Murray's efforts to compile the Oxford English Dictionary-his struggle with various forces, his firm pursuit of his career, his unyielding rights, and the most valuable thing is his friendship with appreciate each other, a "crazy murderer".

Murray's life is a life of great struggle and inspiration. He has always believed that diligent life is valuable.

He was not born well, but the son of a linen dealer who had never been to school.

at the age of 14, he dropped out of school to earn money and make a living. He was self-taught and proficient in Latin and Greek. Familiar with Romanesque languages, including Italian, French, Spanish and Catalan; Familiar with more than a dozen languages such as Hebrew and Syrian.

When his career was crowded out by power and interests, his wife said this for her husband in front of everyone:

"My husband kept a small piece of old parchment with the words' Hard work is valuable' engraved on it.

Diligence, I found this word in your dictionary. I make unremitting efforts to achieve my goal, perseverance and hard work, but there are also hardships and pains.

Some people think my husband is stupid, stubborn and naive. I am in this situation because I am afraid of what will happen next, but this is not the case.

He sees through everything in the world and knows that there are countless choices, but he still insists on himself.

Two similar people found each other in this era, my husband and his crazy murderer friend. Together, they made an extraordinary masterpiece.

I came here to ask you. Show respect for our humanity. I beg you not to punish them for this. "

I think what his wife said should be the biggest footnote to Murray's life.

Part V: Black Swan

This is a story film in which a ballet dancer perfectly interprets a ballet with his life.

Natalie Portman, the heroine, needs to play the roles of black swan and white swan in the stage play, which also represents two kinds of human nature.

The black swan, cunning, selfish and evil, represents the darkness of human nature.

White swan, pure, selfless and kind, represents the beauty of human nature.

The hostess can control the white swan well, but due to the suppression of the growing environment and family atmosphere, she can't reveal the "evil" part of herself.

But playing the leading role in a stage play is what she has always dreamed of most. In order to play this role, she began a self-choice. In the end, I performed a beautiful and breathtaking ballet with my life.

after watching the film, my deepest feeling is that only when everyone knows how to release his own nature can he interpret the most perfect self.

As a line in the movie says, "Perfection is not just about control, but also about letting go."

Well, these are the five films I want to recommend to you. If you like, you can watch the original films.
