Okay, i just watched this movie called 最遥远的距离 (The Most Distant Course). The only reason i watch this because Guey Lun-Mei is in the movie and this movie won a award. I must admit that this movie is very boring as there are many long scenes and require a lot of patience to sit through the whole movie. -.-'' However if you stop and think, this movie have many hidden meaning that are wise and meaningful. Let me tell you the whole story.
There is this guy called Xiao Tang (小汤) who just broken up with his girlfriend, who is with him for five years, and is a sound engineer (录音师). He last time make a promise to his girlfriend that he will record all the unique sounds in Taiwan called "The Sounds of Formosa" and is now traveling around the world to capture the sounds in tapes, sending the tapes with the sounds and his feeling to his ex-girlfriend past apartment. However, his ex has moved away and a new girl named Xiao Yun (小云) moved in and receive these recording. She also have relationship problem of her own. (her boyfriend who just slept with her is seeing some other girl) She soon like the guy in the recording enough to set off to find him by visiting the place the sounds are recorded. Also another psychiatrist (阿才) decided to quit his job and visit the location where the love of his life had gotten married three years ago. ( He is middle age and sometimes a bit crazy)
Later in the movie Xiao Tang and the doctor meet (Xiao Tang saved the doctor in one scene) and continue the journey together. Then the doctor try to help Xiao Tang to let go of his ex. Meanwhile Xiao Yun have vistied all the places where the sounds are recorded but with no clue where to go next and no more money. At the ending, the doctor wear a swimsuit and is 'swimming' along the road. I have completely no idea why he does this and that why i say he is crazy. I am more interested in the Xiao Tang and Xiao Yun. Xiao Tang is at a beach recording his last recording to his ex, saying he will end the sound of Formasa here, meaning he is letting go. Then Xiao Yun walk to the same beach troubled and looking tired. As she is looking at the sea, Xiao Tang appear in the scene but is on the right side of the beach. (Xiao Yun is at the left side) It is like the poster below la. Then the movie end off with a guy singing' This is the most distant course...' They didn talk to each other... Although the distance between them is short, it is the 最遥远的距离.
Yeah, it just end off like this and i am not even sure they really get together or not. Of course, this is just a short summary and there is many things i didn add. The ending is very depressing to me and i am a bit disappointed. However this fits. I must admit i do not fully understand this movie but i do know there are many lesson to learn. Just watch it yourself. You will never understand the essence of the movie from my summary. I just share something i learnt with you.
You must find out who you really are. Meaning lies in your heart.There are abstract ends which people should strive towards: to love, to do good, to make the most out of life, but what do those really mean? Don't look to the outside for meaning, look inside of you. If you're tired of life, and you don't know why you should go on, search inside of you--you'll find it if you search hard enough.
Listen with your heart. When you feel and think with heart, things are different. Beauty is found in the sounds of highways, crickets, the wind, footsteps, waves, the sound of breathing. Anything. Listen to the world, feel the world, enjoy the world. Be grateful.
(ps:Not everything is from me. I take bits of things here and there from what i read and link them together)
