High recommended to watch the video before proceed
"The Sardines"
It's quite a thought-provoking film. Within 30 minutes, it brought me through heaps of thinking.
The film is about a university student's life in Japan.
Adapting while rejecting to all the social norms in a brand new environment is not an easy task.
In the clip, the main character 余凡 (which sounds similar to 鱼凡 'an ordinary fish'), chose not to retreat from the harsh situation when tsunami strike Sendai.
To him, humans regularly live like a school of sardines.
They are highly attracted to light, swim in a uniform direction with an ultimate aim.
Being the bottom of the food chain, they exist in huge number and often stay in an unenthusiastic situation. Unless there is a larger prey around, they, the sardines normally died due to lack of variation and often too predictable.
In short, LAZINESS.
Sometimes, we thought we are sharks,
we prey our own food,
we find our own direction.
But, many things are not in our fins *hands*
the water temperature, current, tidal change, moonlight intensity.... etc.
Still, we have our fins.
You know what I mean? =D
