However, there are only a few who have time to say goodbye. Most accidents come in a hurry, leaving too much confusion and regret. From confusion to pursuit, from memory to healing, they all tell the common people's desire for redemption. Pray. Taiwanese director Lin Shuyu's new film "A Hundred Days Farewell" is like a requiem for seeing the sunshine after a sudden rainstorm in life.
The story begins with two car accidents. The two protagonists of "100 Days Farewell", Shi Shi and Lin Jiaxin, both encountered car accidents and lost their beloved partners; what's even more painful is that they had no time to say goodbye to their lovers, and could only watch their lives disappear into nothing.
Who is not riddled with holes in the face of drastic changes? As a result, Shitou's arm was covered with a thick plaster, and Lin Jiaxin, whose forehead was bleeding, couldn't tell whether her heart was being cut by a knife. Was it tears or blood? How do survivors deal with pain? How to accept that the love of your life has suddenly come to naught? Because we have loved, we are reluctant to let go; because we are reluctant to let go, we are entangled. The affectionate discussion of "A Hundred Days of Farewell" reflects the issues that we will encounter sooner or later in life, so it can attract more people and make more comments.
However, the most touching touch of "A Hundred Days of Farewell" is that since I have become an elbow and armpit, and there is no time to say goodbye, is there any other alternative way for me to heal my wounds? Lin Shuyu's choice is: find the taste you are familiar with.
The first taste is Chopin etudes. Ke Jiayan plays Shi Tou's wife, who is a piano teacher. The rhythm of the piano echoes in the living space. The sound of the piano and the presence of people were originally Shi Tou's happiest time. However, only after losing it did he understand the weight of music.
When a person is alone, loneliness becomes a heart-eating monster, and anger is ready to move like a volcano. First, he hid his wife’s piano. Firstly, it was too painful to see the piano and miss him; secondly, he hid his wife’s piano. , Strange hands, rough hands, are not allowed to touch the wife's relics at will. The God of fate has taken away the wife's life. The only remaining soul memory is not locked up, which will be even more painful. Looking at the stone with a plaster on his left arm, struggling to complete his will with one arm, his lovesickness no longer requires any words.
Next, he wants to get his wife's music back. His wife passed away suddenly, and all music lessons could no longer be continued. Shitou had to find time to return the tuition fees one by one; while walking through the alley where the student lived, the sounds of piano practice could be heard, especially the music that his wife played most often during her lifetime. At that time, he was obsessed and fascinated, listening to music and thinking about people, and the memory function of music quietly penetrated into his heart and brain.
Hearing the music he had listened to day and night again, the sweet memories of the past came vividly to his mind. Only then did Shitou realize that he could not name the music. He had no idea about the music that his wife had been passionate about, and he did not know its meaning. The name, but he didn't know its beauty. The sigh and guilt of "people don't know the blessings in the blessings" made him eager to find the answer. After searching for it, he finally asked the answer from the students: Chopin's etudes.
Let this familiar but unfamiliar song return to its original name. The music came back, making Shitou immediately understand his own blindness and shallowness. Even if you can't come back, your thoughts can step on the notes, gain the strength of life, and accompany you again. Music once marked the best moments of life. After a hundred days, will the extremely sad stone push the piano out again? Will you start playing Chopin etudes by yourself? It becomes the most touching and anticipated aftertaste of "A Hundred Days of Farewell".
The second taste is to embark on a personal journey. Before the car accident, Karen Lam had already planned her wedding and arranged her honeymoon trip to Okinawa. Her considerate fiancé even made a honeymoon diary filled with delicacies that they must enjoy; after leaving alone, you still have Do you have the courage to open this notebook?
Yes, longing is the most magical driving force in life. Opening the letter is like opening the smile of your lover and reliving the warmth he left behind; it is inevitable for a person to have regrets when embarking on a honeymoon journey. However, even if you help him realize his dream, I still think that he is still beside me. After all, Every day's route and food are engraved with his love. Only by walking there in person can you live up to his intentions.
When two people walk together, they are bound to be surprised one after another; when a person walks alone, there is less noise of words, but more inner chewing and influence. Every detail is kept in my heart and is not known to the common people. It is true that only "love" can survive the storms of life smoothly.
"Don't let sorrow and hatred arise. Silence is better than sound at this time." When life undergoes drastic changes, your heart will inevitably be entangled, no one can complain, and no one can enjoy it. Quietness is often the best medicine for sad people, because the pain of sadness can often only be kept in the heart, chewing it alone and feeling sad. "Farewell in a Hundred Days" does not forget to remind the world's idiots: since pain is inevitable and regret is inevitable, instead of To heal in the dark night, instead of regretting and sighing, it is better to go back to the time when there was no time to say goodbye, and use your most private way to recollect the most beautiful moment (whether it is music or letters); as long as you can savor the aftertaste, There is residual warmth, which is the most beautiful gaze during the falling flower season.
