Many people think that movies are just entertainment, but we put aside the surface of entertainment and see our own shadow through some movies, so as to constantly change ourselves and grow ourselves.
There is such a couple who like watching movies. They help thousands of people solve all kinds of puzzles in their lives by sharing their feelings about movies.
The couple are Shui Meng and Shui Mou, the authors of Xie You Cinema. They all like watching movies and learn a lot from them. In 20 12, they founded "What did those movies teach me" to share their movie-watching experiences online, so that more people can benefit from the movies and win the love of more than one million fans.
These fans began to consult movies related to themes, such as movies related to love, movies related to work, movies related to study and so on. Later, it developed to seek advice from the couple in the form of letters, and Shui Meng and Shui Wu also shared their experiences in related films and answered readers' questions through letters, which was unexpectedly welcomed by readers.
With the consent of these fans, they sorted out the book You Jie Cinema from more than 2,000 letters to help more people solve various problems in their lives.
Sensible Shui Meng and rational Shui Mou put forward various problems they encountered in their growth in the form of letters, in which they shared their own film experiences and their own experiences, so that readers could get inspiration from the screen.
Now, let's walk into the author's "Xie You Cinema" to see how the author shares through movies and how to help readers deal with problems such as study, work, marriage, interpersonal relationship and growth.
1, about school ~ Where will this movie ticket take you?
A reader wrote that he is a high school graduate, who is about to graduate and face the choice of university. His family are all doctors, so he will also face the choice of medical major in college. He doesn't exclude becoming a doctor, but he hopes what his real choice is. He hopes that Shuimeng and Shuimou can introduce a movie to help him think about these problems.
In his reply, Shui Meng recommended a comedy film "Fantasy Life" similar to his situation to this reader. This film is about a national tax employee named Harold, who likes to do things step by step, stick to the plan and never want to change.
Occasionally, when someone predicts his death, he will feel afraid, afraid of death, but he is unwilling to let fate decide. So he decided to re-examine his life and began to try to change his life. Finally, through his continuous efforts, change made him see a better self and let him live a different life from now on.
Shui Meng said that he once thought that life was just going step by step, studying hard, finding a good job, marrying a good wife and buying a good house was the best life. But he found that in 10, he couldn't go as planned, but he lived well.
Shui Meng told readers that only he knows whether becoming a doctor is a good decision, and the choice is in his hands. If he feels unable to force himself to accept it, try to change it.
Shui Meng and Shui Mou share their experiences through movies, so that readers can think and feel from them, so as to find the answers they want and help those who are confused in their studies to get out of the fog and enter the journey of a correct life.
2, about interpersonal relationships ~ I am also an actor in your life.
A reader said in his letter that he has been living in fear, and all kinds of fears about others make him afraid to trust others and do things. This made him feel very tired, hoping to get advice from Shuimeng and Shuimou.
I recommend this reader to watch a movie "The Clown Comes Back to Soul 2". This film is about a place in America called Dreyfus Town. Every 27 years, a series of accidents will occur, resulting in a large number of children's deaths. Bill and his younger brother George were born and raised in Reed Town and disappeared in the sewer after the rain. And all this is caused by a mysterious creature named "clown" from outer space.
Because "clown" likes the smell of fear when people are afraid, it becomes the most feared thing in children's hearts. First taste their fear and then eat it with their mouths open.
"Clowns" can see people's inner fears, so they can easily become those things that people are afraid of, making people unable to resist because of fear.
At the end of episode 1, it is said that Bill and his friends successfully beat away the clown, and Bill became a writer and left town. It seems that he got rid of his fear from now on, but in fact this fear is still with him.
The second episode said that Birden became a writer, and every time he wrote it, he got stuck at the end, as if there was always a curse to stop him from writing a good ending.
Bill always thought that his fear came from his brother's death. In fact, his real fear comes from his childhood guilt. He felt that if he had accompanied his brother that day, he would not have caused his brother's death. After he understood, he made peace with himself. In fact, he always loved his brother and finally got over it.
The authors Shui Meng and Shui Mou feel that the problems he encountered are very similar to Bill's. She experienced many things in her childhood that she could not control and even felt afraid and fearful. The author tells readers that she is no longer the girl who can't control herself. She has grown up and can control herself. She should face life optimistically.
When the authors Shui Meng and Shui Mou help readers answer questions, they seem to be reading their own stories when reading other people's stories. Their problem is our problem. Let's see the truth by watching movies, just like looking in the mirror. Once we understand what we can't let go, we can easily let go and stop being afraid.
3. About yourself ~ Open the script of life and write your own story.
A reader said in the letter that he envied his classmate very much, thought that this classmate was excellent in all aspects, and unconsciously imitated him when he was with him. He felt ashamed and didn't know how he became like this. He hopes that Shuimeng and Shuimou will introduce a movie similar to their own situation and give suggestions.
Shui Meng and Shui Mou recommended her to watch the movie "One like you" according to her questions. This film is about an unsuccessful painter named Wen Li, who can only imitate other people's paintings and can't become famous.
Later, Wen Li's talent was attracted by a "painter" and asked him to help make dollar bills. The story revolves around the "painter" Wen Li and the police.
After Wen Li was arrested, when the police arrested the "painter" according to Wen Li's confession, they found that the "painter" was forged by him. This leads to that Wen Li has been living a "false" life, and even his love is trying to pretend.
His favorite neighbor, Ruan Wen, has nothing in common with him, but he has a seriously injured girl he saved, who needs plastic surgery because of her face injury. He just made her face look like Ruan Wen and helped her forge her identity, becoming a veritable substitute for Ruan Wen. Pretending to be in love with Ruan Wen.
The author said that at the beginning, because of low efficiency and few fans, I tried to imitate others. In the process of imitating others, he found it easy to make wrong decisions, but the error rate was higher. So he found problems in the process of trial and error, and finally broke through himself and formed his own style.
In the letter, the author tells readers that each of us is a unique individual. It is normal to envy others. While you envy others, maybe others are envious of you.
From this case, we can see that each of us is unique, so we should go our own way and not envy others. Only by constantly surpassing ourselves on the road of growth can we become a better self.
Welcome to You Jie Cinema. Life is short, and there are always unpleasant things. Read other people's stories and heal yourself. There is always a movie for you here.
