When we become adults, in addition to learning to adapt to the existing rules of the world, most people with independent thinking will gradually establish their own set of codes of conduct. To ensure that one's own rules can have a certain effect on thoughts and behaviors as expected, you must first define the only benchmark: do the right thing. Of course, this benchmark is only applied in a broad range, and is based on the established concept of distinguishing between good and evil, beautiful and ugly. At this time, if you have a slight liberal tendency in your body, it is inevitable to make more detailed adjustments to this only benchmark, such as extending it appropriately: do what you think is right. In this way, the concept is full of contradictions, leading to unclear intentions, which makes its authenticity and completeness questioned. Because it means that you have to oppose most people in some aspects or many things. Regardless of your attitude or position, when you start from the beginning when there are disagreements, you will gradually find that you cannot accept and agree with more and more things. Once Yidan has a relationship with real life, it will only point to a frustrated situation in the end. This is just a more extreme view, which has some connections with personality, family, growth environment and life experience.

Therefore, when people think about the gap between life and imagination, what they have to face is the dual test of material and spirit. Of course, the premise is that you have at least persisted. Although the environment and secular concepts belong to the branch of this pressure, it is not difficult for people who are used to indulging in childhood to ignore all of them. When the kind of negativity that always accompanies me and may have an impact on me throughout my life suddenly comes, I will inevitably think that since I can't escape, I can only accept it.

"Mona lisa smile" is an inspirational film with a female theme, although it is about the stories of high-end American women in the 1950s, the choices involved in life have been the same for thousands of years. Choose marriage or self, choose a life that generally seems to be happy, or choose a long road destined to be full of thorns. The former is doomed before it starts. Whether you can maintain your life or get a divorce, it is a predictable result, and what kind of surprises and disappointments the latter will bring to your life, success or failure is not so important. But you're not sure that doing this will be better or worse. With great ambitions to break stereotypes and change students’ lives, the female teacher went to a girls’ school with a rigorous school spirit and a well-known convention. She faced a bunch of girls with good family backgrounds, good manners, and bright minds. Each character represents a kind of personality. Although there are some contradictions and conflicts, it is a pity that both the plot and the performance are too superficial, and it is inevitable that they have facial features. Their appearance and personality may not be similar, but their fates are roughly the same to some extent-they all have to get married and basically get married early. The fine tradition of that school is to cultivate good daughters-in-law of the upper class, with certain knowledge and common sense, in order to cope with the future family life. In this respect, it makes sense for female teachers to think that it is a "bride school". She couldn't understand why she had such excellent learning conditions and certain talents, but she had to live a cookie-cutter life just by going through the scene. Become a housewife, become a man’s wife and a mother of children, and spend time on cooking and pleasing her husband, all of which could have been avoided.

The most clichéd and unrealistic sentence is probably "become yourself"-in a factory that only relies on molds to make the same products, how do people who are raw materials become themselves? And what is he? who is she? Where is she? No one person, no book, no literary work can answer this question. Because people are different, and people will eventually become the same. People, especially women, have no hope in life, so I never take this kind of movies too seriously. Yes, it promotes a generally positive thinking. Unfortunately, teachers and students, their words and deeds seem to be outside of life. The only thing they have to listen to is their inner voice. It is always easier to make choices in this way. . If a person has to bear the pressures of life and follow the direction of the heart, she is likely to be schizophrenic before she perishes herself. How to read Shakespeare and suffer every day to look at people's faces for eating? Before filling the stomach, who has the energy to pursue those enlightenments that can bring long-term but unrealistic ideas to the mind? A noble person is first of all a person who does not have to worry about survival, so that she can feel the deep pain of Macbeth or King Lear after everything that needs to be satisfied is satisfied, because in the final analysis, she is experiencing those deep-seated pains. Before humans share the emotions that are often overlooked, the pain of being hungry and wanting to eat or having something to like but having no money to buy becomes more intense.

This is because the background that triggers the contradiction is set in the art theory course of the art department. I can understand why the female teacher is so confused. If you simply learn something and you need to worry about family life right away, what is the practical use of learning art and art theory? Except at the dinner table or at exhibitions and theater performances as a means of talking to show that they are not too ignorant. How can the noble status of knowledge and art be necessarily related to the daily life of housewives? She is a person who looks down on daily life, even though she tries to alleviate this contempt by admiring the form of works of art. So compared to her students, I think she is the one who needs to be saved more. Because she understands the fact: everyone must eventually enter daily life. Even if you try every means to escape, from California to New England, to Europe, and even the whole world, circle the whole earth for three weeks. The problem you refuse to face will always exist and will always be the same. This kind of doubt can never be reasonably resolved. In the final analysis, my heart is not firm enough, and I am always afraid to take on the seemingly ordinary responsibilities. If you can escape for a while, you cannot escape for a lifetime. If you face it, you will inevitably bring more problems. In this case, there is really no choice, because no matter which outcome you choose, you are not optimistic.

Someone once told me that when you have a certain degree of understanding of the world, the boundaries of love or hate will no longer be so obvious. I am such a contradictory person. My contradiction is that on the one hand, I consider everything from a purely realistic perspective, while on the other, it is always divorced from reality. Maugham wrote in "The Shackles of Life": "It is painful to find your mediocrity and incompetence only when you regret it, but no matter how sad it is, it will not help to change a person's temperament." Whether Yu's act of taking risks shows that he is brave, or shows that the purpose of life is vacillating, I have always wondered. Maybe it's just a kind of cowardice, which stems from the fear of life. I know that those are just illusions that cannot last, but this illusion is precisely the strongest motivation for my behavior.

Goodbye in the perfect world in your heart. "goodbye."
