This is a literary essay that combines movie plots with life details. We eat, go to the toilet, bathe, smoke, quarrel, raise dogs, fall in love, make love... In a word, we are living. At the same time, we also watch movies, not only watching other people's stories, but also thinking about our own lives. So, when movies show these details of life, what kind of social facts do they reflect and what kind of insights do they bring to people? This book is an analysis and interpretation of these issues. The article uses horizontal comparison and excerpts to observe how different movies represent life events. It is structurally divided into five parts: "Everyday Extraordinary", "Men and Women's Things", "Ashes of Time", "Unbounded Good and Evil", and "Leisure and Ease". It is not a collection of film reviews, nor an attempt to interpret the artistic techniques of the film, but an attempt to use the stories, plots and characters in the film to see through the details of real life. It is a book that explores life, light and shadow.
