Some people are willing to be mediocre throughout their lives, while others pursue excellence, and excellence and mediocrity fall within a single thought. What is going to talk about today is a 127-minute Japanese film that explains the difference between a good person and a mediocre person through the life scenarios of three characters. This film is also the winner of the 36th Japan Film Academy Awards.
"The Method of Stealing Keys" mainly tells the failed life of the bottom figure Takeshi Sakurai. He lived by being an extra and failed emotionally. This kind of life made him want to commit suicide without attachment. The turning point of the story comes from the fact that he exchanged identities with another protagonist Kondo in a bath, making Kondo who amnesia have to choose to continue living as Sakurai. In the days when Kondo lived as Sakurai, he worked hard to deal with the difficulties in life, and met the heroine Sanae Mizushima to embrace her beautifully. After that, Kondo chose to live as Sakurai forever. The film
is meant to show that under the same environment, the same background, and the same conditions, different people will live different lives. Sakurai's life has passed to a state where he wants to commit suicide. After giving it to Kondo, he is alive and well. What is the difference between the two? The editor is here to share with you the inspiration that the movie "The Method of Stealing Keys" has brought to our lives.
Excellent people know how to plan their lives and take control of their own destiny; mediocre people can only accept fate and go with the flow of complaints to survive
In the plot of the movie, Kondo successfully kills the target with a neat technique, while the staff who oversees his completion of the work watch I dare not say anything about this situation. And Kondo is not a real professional killer. In fact, he is more like a professional actor. When others hire him to do things, he always makes various plans and arrangements to act out a "killer" for his employer. He is in his room. His notebook has delicate handwriting and planning once again prove that he is a hard worker.
In contrast, Sakurai's house, who rents someone else’s house, makes people feel painful. The trash is piled up and things are littered. I really don’t know how he leads his life like this. In terms of work, he is also very stable. He is still an extra actor after being a group performer for N years. Under this circumstance, I didn’t have the courage to keep her beloved when I met her. In the end, I just wanted to end my failed life by suicide.
In these two details, the director highlighted Kondo’s disciplined, hard-working, and rigorous attitude towards life. Although it is a killer's money, he is actually a very powerful "actor"; and Sakurai is a group performer, but It's a mess, both professionally and emotionally. therefore has a simple definition of excellence and mediocrity, that is, excellent people often know how to plan their lives and can control their own destiny; while mediocre people can only follow the trend and be manipulated by fate.
When encountering difficulties, excellent people will accept the reality and work hard to improve; mediocre people will be unable to recover, breaking the jar. After the two exchange identities, Kondo briefly understands his environment, and uses his notebook and pen to write all of his own. Write the situation in a notebook for analysis. For example, he writes down what he likes, what he dislikes, what his occupation is, how much money he has in his pocket, and so on. Doing so can make Kondo more aware of his situation, which in turn can help him to have a clearer judgment and decision on the future direction.
Kondo knew that his work was a group performance, so he began to work hard to learn professional knowledge and take notes every time. He never picks a job at work, so that he will work hard to perform everything, and over time he gets the director's approval. Here is a sharp contrast with Sakurai. There is a part of
in the movie that describes Sakurai's inadequate performance when playing an assassinated character. When the "experienced" actor kindly reminded him and suggested how to complete this role, he not only did not study humbly, but also talked back. Said that he used to act in a movie with a certain performer. And this "experienced" actor is Kondo. Afterwards, Kondo said: "You kid is really useless. I just bought the book and gave it up after reading two or three pages." This again confirms Sakurai's uninspiring lifestyle.
It is not difficult to see here that no matter how difficult the environment is, excellent people at will first recognize their own situation and then improve them so that their destiny will develop in a good direction; while mediocre people will no matter how difficult the environment is. Wherever they go, they are all ignorantly shattered.
Excellent people have to find a way to play well no matter what cards are in their hands, but mediocre peopleHolding any good cards will play
out of order. After just changing roles, Kondo found that he only had 1,000 yen, which is equivalent to more than 70 yuan. Under such circumstances, he was hungry and used money to buy books to study, and through his own little efforts to live a good life.
After Sakurai entered Kondo's house, he found that Kondo was indeed very wealthy. Without a word, he spent all his savings. Even if he gave Sakurai a wealthy living environment, he still didn't cherish his life and began to work hard. On the contrary, he was still in a state where the mud could not support the wall, which was really speechless.
In fact, excellence and mediocrity are just from their own point of view. Everyone has their own way of life, but in a specific environment, each has a different attitude towards life, so the result is not same. Through the film "The Method of Stealing the Keys", the editor has a lot of reflections. How to grasp life well, presumably you as a reader? Welcome everyone to follow the comments. The
