One is a concierge who lives a secret literary life, and the other is a talented girl who has suicidal tendencies. The encounter between two people with very different identities brings the audience inspiration and introspection full of life philosophy. The Elegance of the Hedgehog, based on the best-selling French novel, allows us to discover the invisible universe in everyone with humor, irony and warmth.
Michelle, an old and ugly concierge, loves literature, but thinks she is not qualified to have a hobby of reading; She secretly bought a lot of books, but did not dare to let people know her secret study; Like the lazy hedgehog on the surface, she is actually very delicate, lonely and unusually elegant in her heart.
Paloma, a talented girl, thinks that the world of adults is stupid, so she plans to commit suicide after her 14th birthday, but she accidentally meets Ms. Michelle, the doorman, and discovers her rich spiritual world.
Paloma, a talented girl, and Michelle, the doorman, became friends. They exchanged ideas with relish and spent a happy time together. Paloma's ideal is to be an elegant gatekeeper hedgehog. 2
There are two protagonists in this movie, namely the little girl and the doorman, who are both inaccessible like hedgehogs. According to the information on the Internet: Hedgehog is a small mammal with hard spines all over its body except its belly. When frightened, its head bends towards the ventral surface, its body curls into a ball, wraps its head and limbs, and stands up with thorns to protect itself.
The two protagonists, who look cold and unpredictable, want to be understood. When we really get to know them, we will find that they are as fragile as the old Japanese gentleman and as fragile as the hedgehog's spineless body.
Then let's look back. Why did the little girl want to commit suicide? What does she mean by "goldfish bowl"? Why did the little girl stop thinking about suicide after seeing the janitor die?
Let me talk about my understanding. The little girl's personality is very withdrawn. She thinks that no one understands her, which makes her think of suicide.
Then why didn't the little girl have suicidal thoughts after the janitor was hit by a car? Because this experience made her understand that when a person dies, you will never see the person who loves you again, and the person who loves you will never see you again. The hedgehog's elegant reflection 3
The world is fluid. We should have been able to feel the world in person, but for some involuntary reasons, we always indirectly experience and appreciate our own life from the gains and losses of others. Our eyes are watching, but we don't observe; Think, but don't ask; Accept, but don't look for it-there is no hunger and thirst, no crusade, only expectation or endless waiting.
The real savior is not the child who will support you until you die, nor the TV set full of landscape society, nor the hidden God who is not there-the story of the two hedgehogs is not complete because of any of these three reasons, but the reason for changing their fate is that people meet each other, and the reason for meeting is not that the other party can give them what they need, but it seems that at the initial moment of material, two mesons are connected. Hundreds of millions of years later, they met in the form of Henny and Balloma and became close friends beyond the age limit. The attraction between souls was so fast that it had nothing to do with any reason.
An old lady who looks after the doorman, a unruly daughter under the age of thirteen, and two people in different ways, because they have the courage to step out of life, are willing to get close to the injured heart and let go of the defense of the spikes, and begin to believe that the world is not as terrible as they think. They feel the protection between people and see the tremor of facing their own lives. In such a friendship that transcends the secular vision, even if God insists on intervening, I am afraid he can only play the role of a third party.
The Japanese Mr. Ozu, who helped Horney and Baloma recognize each other, also found the same frequency with two strangers based on human understanding and recognition, and finally brewed feelings that could not have been produced in Horney's life, and let her get out of the demons of fate of "falling in love with rich people and eventually being abandoned". He used the phrase "we can be friends, even all we want to do" to break all the imaginary boundaries.
loneliness is a common problem in this world. But overcoming loneliness is about human nature rather than divinity. This kind of loneliness comes from waiting for others to come instead of looking for yourself, and finally ends up muttering "I'm alone" like Vladimir. Not investing in mutual trust and communication between people is the framework for every hedgehog to set himself a limit, and it may even become the reason for internal and external attacks. However, this has nothing to do with God.
At the end of the novel, the death ending set by the author for the protagonist reveals God's absence more intentionally or unintentionally. We can't attribute Henny's death to God's blindness, because the report of good and evil is not a law written by God, but a matter of chance. If there is no God, human beings will create a God. There is no absolute justice like God in the world. The only balance exists in the tiny heart of human beings, although it is humble and imperfect.
With the death of Henny, Baloma finally gave up the idea of suicide. She summoned up the courage to admit, "that's because I didn't really suffer, or rather, I suffered, but I didn't feel pain." It's just the strong talk of a carefree girl. " "If we are afraid of tomorrow, it is because we don't know how to build the present, because we don't know how to build the present, so we talk nonsense to ourselves that tomorrow can be done, so everything will be finished, because tomorrow will always become today in the end."
It is precisely because of the connection between people that human beings can create a continuation of life beyond the meaning of death itself. Baloma was redeemed by the death of Henny. Although she died in her lifetime, she was the real rescuer. She has no future, no offspring, and she doesn't rely on TV to paralyze the absurdity of life. She finally understands that the end of life will still return to loneliness, but instead of living in loneliness and having a cold heart, it is better to live in a crowd and have a lonely but warm heart.
This is not a choice that God can make, but only a choice of people and people.
This book falls into a pattern, besides choosing the way of reading and spirit to express elegance, it also uses a rich foreign man to express identity, saves a life that is deeply mired in the gap with love, and ends an unsustainable life with death to achieve eternity. Material, gender, love, death, all kinds of interference mixed together. Admittedly, this is not a cliche. It is not the fault of literature that some people like to misread the possibility of literature as inevitability, and then either believe this inevitability to find a sense of stability or attack it to find a sense of existence. However, people will pay more attention to the exotic myths (myth &; Misunderstanding, with a beautiful vision of misunderstanding, I will find its ending more powerful.
Even so, I think the accurate and sharp insights and words in the book are amazing, and I can still maintain five stars after the above-mentioned defects. For unfamiliar readers, I want to say: Aside from the slightly exaggerated "hedgehog" and "elegance" in the book, the rest are touching words that can be regarded as five stars, which have nothing to do with hedgehog, elegance and real life.
I would rather be a thinking monk than a postmodern thinker.
you don't need many friends, just one is enough, but you should be right.
art is an emotion without desire.
although I know the world is ugly, I don't want to face that ugliness.
If you want to save yourself, you'd better save others first. Smile or cry. This is a 18-degree change of fate.
what matters is not death, but what are we doing at the moment of death? Part 4
I watched such a movie some time ago, and the hedgehog was elegant. At that time, I didn't find the original film, that is, I didn't find the English version, but I didn't want to watch the Mandarin version at that time, but I finally thought about killing time. Anyway, the characters in it were very handsome and beautiful, but in the end I felt lucky that I didn't turn off that movie.
The characters in it are all people who like reading books and have their own thoughts. Among so many people, they are all busy, but they have no thoughts of their own. They seem to be pursuing something, but they are particularly confused inside, and they don't know what they want at all. But the three protagonists all know what they want. They look at the society and the world critically. They don't blindly accept the world like others.
The protagonist is mainly his janitor, that is, he is a particularly inconspicuous figure at first, but he has read many books, which bring him ideas. Of course, these books also give him such a number, which makes people feel that he is a special person, and that although he looks particularly bitter on the surface, he is actually a warm-hearted person, which is seen by people who ask him to know him and others who know him.
One sentence that impressed me particularly was that after they dressed up, they met a resident of that building who often met on the road, but she didn't recognize the heroine. Finally, the heroine was particularly surprised that she didn't recognize herself. Finally, the hero said that because she had never known you, this sentence was really impressive, because she had never known him. Because I have never seen the one in the real world, I have never known him, even if I meet him every day, but because I don't know him, even if I meet him every day, they can't be regarded as acquaintances.
In fact, life is not like this, so we should make friends with people who really know ourselves and know ourselves, instead of seeking quantity instead of quality. The hedgehog's elegant review article 5
Recently, I found many movies adapted from novels, so that I can learn novels quickly in a short time, and if they are good, I can buy them to read.
This film tells the story of a member of parliament's family of four living in a luxury apartment in France. Taloma is an eleven-year-old girl. She likes to record what happened in front of her eyes with a video camera. She has a good insight into observing things, and she will analyze them while recording. She planned to end herself on her twelfth birthday. She felt like a goldfish at the mercy of others, living in the bathtub forever. Her father is busy with his career and neglects his family. Her mother is immersed in her own world and can't communicate with them. She has to use her own camera to explore the happiness every day. There is a landlady in the building. She works here all her life, cleaning garbage and sending and receiving emails every day. She likes reading and drinking tea very much. The landlady is also a person who enjoys her own world. She has a big fat cat. She eats chocolate, drinks tea, reads novels and raises her fat cat every day. A new tenant, Mr. Ozu, moved to the apartment. He is very knowledgeable. He discovered the unique lifestyle and attitude of Taloma and his landlady, and he was very interested. He took the initiative to make friends with Taloma and his landlady and invited her to dinner.
Taloma likes Japanese culture. She studies Japanese and Go. Just as Mr. Ozu is Japanese, she can correct her Japanese pronunciation and play Go with her. She likes to spend her leisure time with Mr. Ozu. Mr. Ozu's family is also very rich. Yoko Ozu is Mr. Ozu's granddaughter. She saw Yoko's future. At this time, the landlady was struggling with her dress and hairstyle when she went to the party. Her good friend borrowed her clothes and took her to do her hairstyle. This was the first time she was invited to dinner by others. She was very nervous. The people in this apartment have a lot of history, they are all high-class people, and few people are so respectful to her. She came to the appointment.
The Ancestral Sisters, the landlady likes literature very much. She likes to watch movies during afternoon tea. She made an appointment with Mr. Ozu to watch this movie. Mr. Ozu gave the landlady Anna Karenina. He knew that the landlady liked reading. Her cat's name was Lev, so it should be that she liked Lev Tolstoy. Mr. Ozu also had two blue cats, which were thin and arrogant.
Taloma's sister, who was waiting for the paper notice, was in a hurry but didn't want to communicate with her landlady. She entrusted Taloma to inquire, so Taloma became acquainted with her landlady. She liked tea with her landlady and chocolate. Since she changed her hairstyle, she also changed her mood, so she could chat with Taloma. Taloma likes to hang out with the landlady. Her mother has been seeing a doctor for ten years because of depression, so their family is not a happy family. Taloma always likes to escape and avoid them. This time, she found a good place, the landlady's house, and her mother is also very happy that the landlady doesn't hate her daughter. Taloma interviewed the landlady and filmed her. The landlady didn't mind Taloma filming her and cooperated with her.
Taloma likes painting very much. She likes paper-cutting, endless things to do every day, taking pictures, learning Japanese, playing Go, drawing and paper-cutting. The landlady likes chocolate, tea, books, cats and cakes.
The plot of this movie is also very slow, but the characters are very complicated. Everyone has their own life track, which is fast-paced, slow-paced, joyful and sorrowful. The plot is matched with the background music, as if I were to read this novel again. The landlady has always been the narrator of this film. She had a car accident because a neighbor was standing in the middle of the road. She tried to dissuade that person from playing in the middle of the road, and she was hit. The landlady is dead. Everyone is very sad. Too many things happened these days, and Taloma began to know herself and life again. At the age of 11, Baloma is going to end her life on her 12th birthday in the next 165 days, and escape from the bad environment like a "dreary fish tank".
But she didn't want to die for nothing. She decided to make a movie and use a camera to shoot the people she saw and their lives.
Her mother, who received intensive treatment, mentioned in the film that the lady vaguely knew the function of plant decorations but treated them as human beings. Her sister regards life as a war and doesn't want to be a neurasthenia woman like her mother.
