Friends

What is a friend? It is a period with you to go through the people, is a certain thing with you to experience people, is a low mood when you give you comfort, is happy to share with you when people. The word friend represents too many meanings, and only one meaning belongs to time. Because a lot of friends eventually lost time.

After a long time, life will change qualitatively, and the original friends go their separate ways, but this is not always because of the blame of life, the essence of leaving is that we have a different life, and the original friendship has not changed much, but this difference has also begun to make the original simple friendship has become distant. And the film we recommend to you today is about pure friendship, a friendship that has passed the test of time. Born to Die" is the story of two friends with decades of friendship, Fili and Oscar, Fili is an old man who likes everything to be regular, while his good friend Oscar is a big-hearted person, Fili likes to be quiet, Oscar likes to move, two people with very different personalities but became good friends, and this friendship lasted for decades.

But the good times are not long, since the last separation has passed seventeen years, and this time the reunion is because Fili's daughter married Oscar's son, the two old men and because to participate in their children's wedding and reunion. From the airport, the two men embarked on a ludicrous journey, laughing and cursing all the way, seemingly two old men who hate each other in a war of words, but a long-lasting friendship continues to prolong.

The highlight of "Born to Die" is the hilarity of the behavior of two friends with completely different personalities during a journey. The combination of this comedy and road movie makes the audience happier and happier.

As we all know, there is a very good pairing of comedy characterization called "brainless" and "unhappy". These two typical forms of characterization can be applied to most comedies, and the characters thus created have a certain comic effect by nature. In this film, for example, Mindless represents Oscar, and Unhappy's character is Fili. Such a pairing creates a natural contrast. Fili for anything by the rules and Oscar mixed up in the attitude of the world as a contrast, after this contrast, we see such as the beginning of the meeting of the two people injured to the journey of mutual flirtation, until the end of the two people driving journey into a hitchhiking journey and so on. These are two very different personalities together with the comedic effect. With this effect, the audience is not immune.

The pairing of Fili and Oscar is the source of the film's happiness, while another source is the friendship between the two. If the two people are just general friends, then they are not able to complete the comedy segment of love and kill each other, because the general friendship does not support the whole spoof plus love and kill each other. But the two people's friendship is not ordinary, the friendship that lasted for decades after a long absence of seventeen years of reunion is enough to eliminate the reality of dissatisfaction, this elimination itself determines that the two people will eventually return to peace even if there is a quarrel. This is another implicit comedic foundation of the film.

On top of these two foundations, the comedy has such a cheerful effect on the audience. This is something for later creators to learn from. Our contemporary comedies are relatively weak in terms of creativity, and this weakness is reflected in the artificial narrowing of the scope of the comic form. Some people believe that the core of comedy is tragedy and that comedy must end in tragedy or have tragedy at its core for comedy to be pure. However, this artificial narrowing of the form of comedy is not universally representative.

Comedy can be a form of expression with a tragedy at its core, but it can also be a form of expression where satire is the main focus, and where the comic effect caused by the misalignment of contrasts is also a form of comedy. These forms are the very source of creativity for the creators, and also the source of pleasure for the audience. If we ignore this form and confine comedy too much, we will end up with a declining comedy, and of course, we will never be able to reach the core of comedy.

This film does not locate the core of the film in the genre of tragedy. The core of this film lies in reality. In reality, the two old men are kings who face life positively, and may seem to many people that their marriages are unfortunate, but they find a fortunate friendship as the support of life outside of their unfortunate marriages. We are disappointed in one place, but through the acquisition in another place can be compensated, is not this also a kind of happiness? Life is not always filled with all dissatisfaction.

People are always looking for the meaning of life, some people summarize this meaning as family happiness, marriage, some people summarize this meaning as friendship, and so on. These are all objective meanings, and they are also meanings that everyone should respect and carry out. Just as there is more than one form of comedy, there are also many meanings of life. Some people think that a happy family is a manifestation of a fulfilling life, while others think that having a good friend is more important than a fulfilling family. This film is an opinion and an interpretation, but also a simple comedy to bring laughter to the audience. A good friend can make each other feel meaningful in life. Even if we lose some things, friendship can make us gain some others, is not this also the gift of life?
