If not for Professor Lu's explanation afterwards, it would be least likely for me to comprehend the whole movie. I had just one fragment after another, and found it extremely difficult to connect the make sense of each scene of the flick, and got lost totally. Finally, I am glad to understand what the director wish to convey to us, and get the whole picture of it. It's a great movie, nevetheless cultural gap and shortage keep me from knowing the movie well. Next time, when I go to such a movie, I would need to study more about its background ahead.

In the film, the baby could have been dead for bleeding in silence. Luckily a black cat's interruption waked his mother and help came in time. This film seems odd to me at first. After professor 劉's interpretation, the images started to be meaningful.

In the movie lifeline, there has a hierarchical system of people, but i can not understand the relation with lifeline.
for me the baby is the most important role and is key about lifeline,
the unbilical cord is the "line " that baby can get nutrition from the mother,
and other "line" is the rope that use for bind the unbilical when it blooding.
those "lines" creat and save a life.
although, there has hierarchical system in the movie but everyone still care about the baby.
life can make everyone happy, ever there has a hierarchical system.

This is not my first time to watch European movie, so I can figure out what the techniques the director use. Most of the European directors prefer using the fragment image to lead audiences to think, to guess and to piece together. After discussion with the professor Lu, not only can I piece up the whole picture with the clue, but I also easily compare poor and rich, war and peace, life and time, and so on. It’s an interesting movie. I admire the director’s intelligent and talent.

In my opinion, when you were born, you start to die. In the mean time, when you were born, you also start to live. It's sort of a "glass half empty and half full" type of thing. It depends on the way you look at it. I suppose that the movie captures people’s curiosity, because the fact of death and birth are so mysterious and everyone is completely inevitable.
