Netflix series version《The Cleaner of Life》Analysis of plot highlights: Seeing through life and death“ fragile life” and“ life entanglement”

The recent hit - "The Cleaner" - has dominated the screen on various platforms. The plot is also quite reversal and twists. Whether it is the appearance, acting skills, or plot, it can quickly and accurately attract the audience.focus on.Today we will discuss some of the doubts that netizens have about the Netflix series version - Life Cleaner - plot analysis: seeing through the fragile and entangled aspects of life and death.

《The Cleaner of Life》The series version is a new “worker drama” launched on Netflix (it is also an emotional and healing drama). This drama is a remake of the 2020 Public Television movie of the same name《The Cleaner of Life》, the storyDescribes the five members of Tomorrow Cleaning Society who are engaged in special on-site cleaning: President Long Ge (played by Jin Shijie), member Dachuan (played by Feng Xiaoyue), the president's daughter Li Ying (played by Song Yunhua), and part-time plumber Wan Tu (played by Huang Guanzhi)), the story of club member Yiwen (played by Cai Jiayin).

Hotel owner: It’s really easy to make money in this industry. You see, the jobs you take are similar to those we usually use in hotels. The content of this kind of job is not as easy as we think. We don’t understand this kind of industry.We can't imagine that the scene they have to face is the most difficult level and difficulty to overcome. The director used the dialogue scene between Li Jingchuan and the hotel owner to portray what ordinary people think of the job content of a cleaner. The boss complained that the fee was too high.This industry is very profitable, but when you actually face the scene, you will understand their professional and respectful attitude, and even their admirable workmanship (this is not a job that everyone can do, becauseWithout empathy and understanding, one cannot appreciate the importance of this work to society).This is slightly different from the professional portrayal of the Korean drama "I am a relic organizer" that I have watched before. - I am a relic organizer - focuses on the stories when relics are being sorted, and although - life organizer《 also emphasizes the key points of this part, but 》 Life Cleaner -- also focuses on the details of on-site cleaning, and even uses the scene of death to understand people's various fragility and entanglements of life., the first case in the first episode - Life Cleaner - has several scenes that I admire very much, because on-site cleaning is not only to clean away the blood and water, but also to restore the whole place to its original state, for exampleThe tiles need to be repainted, the tiles need to be replaced, and the carpets need to be cleaned, refinished and disinfected (not everyone has the professional knowledge of chemistry used, so do you still think it is easy to clean such a special site?), which is why the hotel owner will say that there have been cases where the smell smelled after a few days after cleaning. This implies that people who can clean the death scene not only uphold the spirit of cleanliness, but also respect the scene.“Attitude towards every death”.Just like Brother Long said, this job makes him feel the warmth and warmth of society. Because this job is not common and rarely known, it is easy for the outside world to think and misunderstand that their work is easy.Lele said that because they had no time to tidy up, they moved to a place far away. Mom said that if they didn’t tidy up the thing, it would be broken. If I move to a place far away, I also want someone to help me.In the passage about organizing my toys, Lele, the screenwriter is portraying these cleaners as companions who help these dead people end their loneliness. I like the idea that Lele’s teacher gave Lele that as long as it is a job that can help others, it is great.“ of his work, the screenwriter and director spoke this passage with the most innocent and pure character. Compared with the adults who think the cleaning fee is too expensive, it seems to be a metaphor that all the adults in this society are polluted and will ” die.“ regarded it as a burden and got rid of it.

Almost all the characters in "Life Cleaner" have deep inner life issues, and their life issues are also closely related to the motivation and understanding of working in ”Tomorrow Cleaning Society“. For example, Yi Wen's attitude towards doing thisWork is afraid that her daughter will be affected by the negative thoughts of school and classmates, and Wan Tu’s depressed mood of taking care of her sick mother alone (I really like this story line. Although the picture ratio is not large, the director is portraying Wan Tu.Rabbit is very nervous when facing the sincere emotions of his elders). Although this drama is about ”death“, the more aspect is that the screenwriter and director want people who are still alive in this world to cherish every day of life and continue to leadLive happily with happy memories and mentality.

The important story line in the first episode is the conflicts and inner demons between Brother Long and his daughter. From several details, we can know that the relationship between father and daughter has become tense and alienated due to the death of ”mother/wife%. Brother LongThe purpose of inviting Li Jingchuan to dinner at home was also because he wanted to resolve the embarrassment with his daughter (to put it bluntly, Brother Long didn’t know how to face the concept of his daughter alone). This is an important story line of "The Cleaner of Life".As Brother Long, who has seen through all aspects of life and hates the scene of death, he is doing this job as if he is burying his regrets and fulfilling his promise. As for Lee Ying, he doesn’t know how to digest the sadness and pain, so his longing has never been there.When communicating with her father, she should also say that she would feel that this regret was caused by her father.

“Who told you to do this?” It’s Li Ying’s hatred for her father, but I like the screenwriter - Life Cleaner - in the first episode, she made her a sensible daughter, ❶ like she didn’t refuse her father’s egg fried rice, ➋ and also listened to her father’s tricksA sigh of disobedience. Although the relationship between father and daughter is very tense, they still have a heart that is full of family feelings. I also see the preciousness of cherishing the feelings between people in Li Jingchuan. I think Li Ying is thatShe is a younger generation who doesn't like to be controlled all the time, so she feels that Brother Long is “emotional blackmail”. Faced with this “emotional blackmail”, Li Ying actually felt irritable at first, like...Like us modern people, we will think that the emotional blackmail of our elders is very bad, as if they have been limiting their own thoughts, but I think - Life Cleaner - gives the audience a very important point of “empathy”, emotional blackmailThe source, “maybe” comes from the desire to love others. It is not completely domineering, but just used in the wrong way to make people feel suffocated. Judging from its essence, they will do it out of “love”.

In the first episode, when Li Ying participated in the first death scene cleaning (the old man lived in the rental house), I really liked the way the director used two scenes to depict the story line of women between Li Ying and Brother Long. Li YingSomeone said, "Who told you to do this?" But in the scene, the full armor Li Ying put on made Brother Long confused. Outside, the director used several shots to show the two characters' inner exploration of each other.With understanding“, Brother Long seems to have a generational gap in values ​​​​with his daughter. 🅰I can understand the director’s intention of using Brother Long to see Li Ying fully armed to go to the scene. This scene symbolizes the father’s reluctance and love for his daughter but notHe said that he hoped that Li Ying would follow her own decision to explore this job, but in his heart he seemed to long for his daughter to understand the meaning of doing this job; and when Brother Long turned around and left, 🅱The next scene was Li Ying.Ying looked at Brother Long's back. I really like this back view because I am also a daughter. ”father's background“ is a scene that symbolizes the hardest work for every child. Liying only looks at her father.The back view also symbolizes that she does not have the courage to look at her father. I think this is because she has many words buried in her heart and dare not say them out.

So Liying looks at her father's back, which symbolizes that her relationship with her father has not been broken, but she just doesn't know how to express it directly. This scene also symbolizes the distance between children and their parents in Asian families.Children want to be close to their parents (including parents who want to be close to their children), but they can only relate to this emotion through a more voyeuristic way of looking at the back.Even though there are no lines in the camera movements in these scenes, these scenes are full of strong family affection. This scene is actually a coherent plot of Li Ying discovering family affection in the scene between the old woman and the king. This womanIn fact, I wrote a lot of letters to my son, but I never sent them out. This action of not sending them actually implies a wall between family ties. Those who dare not say can only put their trust in letters. I think there is a lot of family ties.Even so, it will always be a regret in my heart, or I don't know how to muster the courage to speak out, but in fact, we all love each other, the only problem is that we have not melted this ”love“.

Okawa:”I think this is the best way to face death“Liying:”How old is she?Not everyone can face it. Generally, we feel taboo when it comes to death, and think that we should not be exposed to death when we are young. I really like the thinking that "Life Cleaner" brings to the audience. In fact, facing death is notRegardless of age, because no matter what age we are, we cannot learn to say goodbye and are always stuck in sadness.Episode 2 - Life Cleaner - Li Liying's words: I met a girl these days who suddenly lost her only family member. I suddenly thought about how difficult it was during the period after my mother passed away in high school. Looking at the girlPretending to be strong, I really felt sorry for her. Later, I joined my dad's work team and thought it would be nice to do something for him. In fact, after I went to the United States, I hardly spent such a long time with my dad.Seeing him doing this job now, he seems to be much happier than before. My mother always hoped that he could leave the underworld life before she was alive. I didn't expect that he really did it. I really hope that my mother can see all this with her own eyes. You should encourage me.Said: 'You should help your mother witness all this with your eyes, that's enough'%.Because Brother Long was a gangster in the past, he turned to the cleaner's job because he wanted to fulfill his wife's promise to leave the gang. In the ten years since Li Ying went to the United States, it was actually the knot between father and daughter that could not be solved.stage, facing death is “ trauma” for both Brother Long and Li Ying. No matter what age you are, you should learn to face it. Although Xiao An’s pretense of being strong is intentional, I like Xiao An’s thoughtShe must muster up the energy to face it instead of escaping, because she knows that although she will be sad, only by facing it directly will she not fall into more pain. Just like what Xiao An said, you have to eat, sleep, and live your life.It has been seen that this way of facing trauma is cruel and crude, but at least she is not escaping, but trying to face the choice and pain and reconcile with the trauma. Compared with Li Ying, Li Ying spent ten years to escape.Not only did she not heal her wounds during these years, but she also left more regrets (because in the past ten years, she had allowed her father to bear the loneliness alone, and these ten years had been equivalent to keeping her heart in a state of stagnation).I think this drama is meant to make people understand that facing death and separation are necessary subjects in life. Those who have passed away do not want to leave regrets, while those who survive must let life continue, and we must achieveThese two kinds of regrets and pain must be that love must be timely“, so that you can love your beloved every day, and finally say goodbye to this world and your beloved happily.

I think Li Ying in the play is very realistic. She and her father have rarely contacted each other for almost ten years, and their relationship is also very far apart. The two of them are facing the departure of the person they love most. After ten years, they are still thinking about each other.With such a knot, Li Ying is like most people. When faced with trauma, it seems that they find someone to blame and resent, just like hating them will make them forget the pain, or it will make people feel less guilty and regretful~ ThereforeThe story line of Brother Long's illness will also be the reconciliation between Li Ying and Brother Long about the death of their mother/wife. They cherish the days when Brother Long is still alive and sort out the life without regrets and only happiness.method.

The second case in the first episode is a complaint about the landlord who dare not rent a house to the elderly and regards the rent as more important than human life. This is the screenwriter's satire on the society's indifference and indifference towards people living alone (especially the elderly and vulnerable groups).Dislike), indeed this is also the current isolation of vulnerable groups in society, making them suffer all the loneliness and making them quite helpless.What Sister Lulu wrote in those letters was the elders' fear of dragging down their children, so I guess Sister Lulu would choose to live alone instead of living with her son's family. It is based on ”love“, so I don't dareTell the truth, but in fact, these secrets can be resolved by telling them in time~ Just like the movie version - The Cleaner of Life - in an aging society, more and more cases of loneliness and death occur., there is a more selfish human nature hidden behind them, and what is even more embarrassing is that they are all closely related to money. The album version - Life Cleaner - also follows this essence and changes to extend more stories and society.(Long Ge’s Tomorrow Cleaning Society also specializes in treating widowers and lonely people as charity cleaning for free).Sister Lulu's natural death in the first episode is a metaphor for the pain of loneliness and death in this society. Through Liren reading his mother's letters, he completes his mother's unfinished work. I think this scene is not only a portrayal of Liren,Human regrets also describe Sister Lu Lu’s torment of living alone after carrying the secret of being a hotel lady for forty years. This loneliness should have been warmed and melted by society, butThis will definitely add more problems to these groups and deepen their suffering.”Lonely old people“ have become an increasingly common issue in today's society and need to be taken seriously, but I feel that - Life Cleaner - wants to explore not only the issue of the moment of loneliness and old age, but also wants to make the audience think”Why do these people live alone in this society? Is it because we are all used to carrying that heavy love on our own?Is it because of family conflicts that the relationship breaks down?There are various reasons. Among the cases in the album - Life Cleaner - almost all are cases involving the elderly who are afraid that they will be a burden to the next generation. Their love for the next generation is heavy because they do not cherish time.Let’s talk about emotions. I choose to digest those burdens alone. I think it is really easy for modern people to arm themselves with emotions, just like Li Ying, or like Xiao An and Sister Lu Lu, refuseAsking for help and expressing emotions from outside, thus adding a wall of separation to the emotional connection line.《Life Cleaner》The screenwriter of the series did not use a sharp way to portray the indifference of society in these emotions, but used the opposite direction to explore how we can make this society warmer%. After all, we may not have the ability toChange the entire society, but we can change ourselves, and use our own way to radiate warmth to warm others, and cherish every connection and emotion that occurs with everyone in life (whether it is family members or strangers in society)This is how it should be).
