What’s the strongest love in the world?
Is it the love between the boy and his toys?
Is it the love between the cat and the fish or the love between young couples?
No, they are not; however, it’s between the father and daughter.
The film, NO PUEDO VIVIR SIN TI, briefly tells a story about a father who is a fisherman without the legal certification, raising a daughter on his own.
During the film, the father and his daughter lived in a deserted ship. And, by doing unstable job pointed by his boss and catching some crabs from the sea, they could still make living by themselves, and lived happily because they were together.
Once they were together, they were not going to be separated easily whatever happened in their lives. They would try to find ways out or stand out fighting for it in order to protect their love, which could be seen in the movie.
In the beginning of the movie, they were happy even though they were not rich. Even if the police came to inform the father that his daughter had to apply for a resident permit as soon as possible or she would be taken away. Yet, they didn’t give in. Especially when the father asked his daughter to live with her mom who was married to another guy, she put his father away, meaning reluctantly to hear that saying and leave him.
Then, they went forward to Taipei and blindly searched for help. Moreover, they went and back for two times only to deal with the problem that is so complicated for a lack-of-knowledge fisherman. But, they never felt tired; instead, they enjoy the scenery on the road and cherish the time being together.
Eventually, his daughter was taken away because of a dangerous behavior that is the father went up to bridge and swore to jump down with his girl in order to let everybody know their difficult situation. After two years, the father was out from the jail while his daughter had been in school. However, he still wanted to find where his daughter was. Finally, he found her and knew that she was a good student, but just didn’t interact with other students. In the view of this, the daughter might try to give a hint of his father that she was waiting for him, resulting in the ending reunion.
After seeing this film, I think it is a great film. It’s sweet and touching. Also I think it is successful for reasons. First of all, the director shot the film into black and white, which makes the whole story more real to the original one. Also, I was so into the movies with the help of the soft music and its simple film language. I could even feel the heavy atmosphere emitting from the movie. Finally, what his father did may not be understood by others. How strong the love is between them may not be able to measure. Yet, in my point of view, it doesn’t have to be. In fact, it doesn’t matter at all. In this indifferent world, they are together, and that would be enough. In the film, Even though they hardly got any help from others, and this isolated society forced them to do dangerous thing to make people face their issue, their love is so simple but strong that will glow in the end as they were reunion again. In the end, no matter what the director meant to show that there are still some people keeping humanity in their hearts or just try to let us feel sorry for them, I hold a firm belief that without any words, I feel that they had each other again once they looked into each others’ eyes.
