The film carefully depicts the vertical evolution of Mo Sanmei's personality and attitude towards life. The first stage is the sharp opposition between him and Xiaowen, who is obsessed with finding his dead grandmother, showing the irreconcilable confrontation between this down-and-out undertaker and the innocent little orphan girl. Xiaowen disturbed Mo Sanmei's funeral one after another, which made Mo Sanmei's father Lao Mo hate him even more. The second stage is to ease the relationship between him and Xiaowen and help each other, which shows his new experience of many events in life.
Xiaowen realized that he was in trouble and took the initiative to make up for it. She asked grandma's partner and Lao Mo to help Mo Sanmei. The father and son changed from opposition to reconciliation. The third stage is the stage when Mo Sanmei and Xiaowen produce father and daughter. Xiaowen lives happily in Mo Sanmei's funeral company. The story of her dead second brother gave Mo Sanmei a new understanding of life.
When her father died, Mo Sanmei became a family member from the bystander of the deceased. The splendid fireworks treatment of her father's ashes symbolizes her new understanding of life and death. Xiaowen was taken away by her biological mother, Hafid, but fled back to identify Mo Sanmei as the "father", making him rethink his family and affection, and inviting Hafid to stay, giving the audience a new daydream about the future of "this home". This progressive three stages make Mo Sanmei's transformation process convincing.
abstract
The whole film presents a style evolution track from comedy style to drama style. Xiaowen, who was upset by the sudden loss of her grandmother, disturbed many funerals, and the funeral shop and wedding dress shop were arranged next to each other, bringing a sense of comedy. Especially when Mo Sanmei proposed to Xixi with the real estate license, and later wanted to confess to Yin, a female companion, in order to adopt Xiaowen, they met Lao Liu and Wang, another female companion, respectively, and they all announced the news that they were "together" to Mo Sanmei.
These comedy scenes add frustration to Mo Sanmei's life, but it is these strong stimuli that make Mo Sanmei have the desire and action to seriously think about life and fight for it, which promotes the growth of his qualities such as love, justice and sympathy, and shows the dramatic style of the film.
The film reflects the contemporary ordinary citizens' good life attitude and positive life struggle intention. As Lao Mo said: Life is a book, and it always turns to the last page, sometimes with a period and sometimes with an ellipsis. No one can always accompany you, but there will always be someone to accompany you. The key is to have a serious and kind attitude like a saint.
An ordinary citizen may not be a saint, but as long as he has a correct attitude towards life, facing life and death, love and hate, good and evil, responsibility and evasion, he can make the right decision and put it into action, and finally taste the good taste of life. This is the inspiration that this film brings to the audience.
