Blast from the Past
The movie starts from a unique view point that a man, after living underground for thirty-five years since he’s born without contact with others except for his parents who thinks that the nuclear attack has ruined the city, comes out to buy life necessities and look for his love. What impresses me most is that living underground since he’s born, Adam can still have such a happy and positive attitude toward life. He receives good education from his parents, who teaches him to be kind, modest, and polite, as well as virtue and knowledge. Adam’s education shows him the most beautiful aspect of the world and the life. Thus, everyone in his eyes is kind and he treats others sincerely. His behavior and attitude toward the world seems to be strange for others, such as Eve, who at first is rude and impatient to Adam. It is because in Eve’s daily life, everyone comes near her holding a purpose. There is mistrust and hurt among people. Also, her life is in a mess without a goal and responsibility like everyone else and what she wants is just money to raise herself. However, later, Eve is moved by Adam, since Adam’s sincerity touched her and through Adam, I think she is awoken from her mess life and she finds the spiritual satisfaction. The movie creates a time gap of thirty-five years to show audience how people lived thirty-five years ago to remind people in nowadays of the simple life and happy attitude toward

    Weather remembering/regretting what has happened, or planning/worrying about what might happen, the past and future steal away our attention from the present. We become mentally absent forgetting to experience what is happening right here and right now. I believe that this is related to the theme in this novel which is that people should live in the present. Life unfolds in the present. The present is where decisions are made and emotions are felt. People should give it the attention it deserves. The great philosopher Buddha once stated, “The secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn the past, worry about the future, but live in the present moment wisely and earnestly.” (131…

    The major characters and their relationships, helped comprehend the role of the human lifespan. The relationship between the characters showed some moments that witness human growth and change through out the movie. Human lifespan development covers the various issues discussed in the movie like for example the challenges of growing old and dealing with aging parents with developing illness. From the movie I was able to grasp how human lifespan development takes role in not just the movie but in my every day life. The stage of developments that were focused more in the film was Young Adulthood, Maturity, and Old Age. The development tasks covered are Intimacy vs. Isolation, that corresponds with falling in love, or maintain a relationship. As well of Generativity vs. Stagnation is define as having and nurturing children and Integrity vs. Despair which is imparting wisdom to others besides themselves.

    When I started to read the story, in the second chapter “Why Chicken Means So Much to Me” I can feel myself sadness because I began to think that many people is poor in front of our eyes and people is like ignoring that reality. When Arnold says, “And believe me, a good piece of chicken can make anybody believe in the existence of God.” , is impacting for me because Arnold is manifesting a feeling of doubt about the existence of God and that is a consequence of being poor. Many times in our life people are complaining because they don’t have iPad, new cars or iPhones, but people is not thinking in that exist people that are very poor and they will give anything to have the things that people have such education or food. Arnold again has this feeling of why he is poor when more lately he says “More than anything, I wanted to kill God.” In this strong sentence is demonstrated a feel of angry and hates to God because all the bad things that are happening.

    The three aspects of the film that illustrate the healing effect of story on human life are the direction,the funny scenes and the music. The way Roberto Benigni directed the film he is showing that life is not about laughter only. At first I didn't expect the film to have a lonely part, in life you don't know what is going to happen next and what to expect. One funny scene that i love is when Dora is been stung by a wasp and Guido asked her if she is stung in other places. The music of the movie is so calming and everytime I hear it I feel like I'm in a disco or a dance ball in the…
