Comments on the movie "Life Visitor"

Walter, a widowed economics professor, has taught only one course for twenty years and lived a lifeless life. The old Volvo V90, which the director prepared for the protagonist, is also an overview of the protagonist's personality.

He should hope that his life would be different, so he began to learn piano in his spare time. But after four or five teachers, there is still no point.

I went back to my apartment in new york, which had been empty for a long time, because I was going to new york to join an academic member, only to find that my house was occupied by two illegal immigrants: Tarek and his girlfriend.

Perhaps it is Tarek's cheerful personality, or perhaps his African drums are interesting. The staid Walter actually took Tarek and his girlfriend in.

After all, living in a room, Walter tried to learn to play African drums from Tarek and immediately fell in love with this instrument. The scene of a large group of people playing drums together in the park is the only scene in the whole movie that makes Walter laugh.

When Tarek was locked up for illegal immigration, I thought it was over. And that's what's interesting: the apathetic Walter hired an immigration lawyer for Tarek, and even took a long vacation from school to do it.

The film does not explain the process of these changes, but I believe that Walter has woken up from the long hibernation period in his life. From taking in Tarek and others, to playing drums for the first time, to talking and laughing with a group of young people in the park, Walter is waking up step by step.

After listening to the opera with Tarek's mother, what Walter said in the restaurant should be a profound reflection on his life and a complete awakening: I haven't done anything for a long time. I have been teaching the same course for twenty years, but it means nothing to me. It's nothing to me, I'm just pretending. I pretend to be busy, pretend to work, pretend to write books. Actually, I didn't do anything.

When the gentle Walter was angry at Tarek's experience in the prison window, he shouted, "It's not fair!" " Indifferent employees. (It's unfair), when Tarek was finally deported to Syria and Walter beat the African drum in the subway station, I thought his life was the most brilliant bloom, and it was full of rhythm from unchanging to the end.

Find something that deserves our full attention. The more we devote ourselves to this, the more wonderful our life will be.
