Choose the real life, not the false illusion.

Yesterday, I watched the beach again with my wine.

When I was a child, I only remembered the description of love and the shock of the starry sky. Looking at it today, many years later, it reminds me of another movie, Requiem for a Dream.

Desire is what ruins the paradise. Control your desires and live a simple and natural life there. And when you blindly pursue this pure happiness, it itself becomes the greatest desire. For this desire, some people sacrificed their humanity, sacrificed their companions, cruelly abandoned everything that could cause pain, or chose to ignore him. Then he himself is lost in desire, lost in dream. Although this dream is happy, it also brings you pain or cruelty. Because that in itself is not real, because that in itself has made you lose yourself. Because you paid the price of your soul for your dream.

When the pursuit is not for the pursuit of being who you really are, when the pursuit is only for real happiness. Well, maybe it's like a dose of morphine that can give you temporary peace, but it will take you farther and farther. Do you feel more pain when you wake up from the dream? Please don't kid yourself. You can't deceive anyone, you can only temporarily anesthetize yourself.

Maybe as the film said at the end, I still believe in the existence of the beach, but not in reality, but the belonging of the soul.

So where is my beach? Tibet? Lhasa? Still at home. Maybe no matter where it is, when I recognize myself, when I find myself, when I am no longer lost and no longer confused, then I am already in heaven.



Choose the real life, not the false illusion.



PS. Guillaume Cane ~ Marion Thiago okay~~ As the only one who is warm, kind and remembers himself, I love you.

    When I read it, it was too small. At the time, it felt like a composition with off-topic writing, but I can read it again. However, I suddenly felt that from the movie's poster, this movie should not be good-looking. The poster has nothing to do with the movie at all...only the side of the handsome guy.

    The teenager's journey to find Utopia is unfortunately broken. A group of people are far away from the bustling and noisy city and live on the island happily. But no matter how far away it is, it cannot stand the test of time, and it is the embodiment of human nature. ★★★☆

The Beach quotes

  • Richard: I just feel like everyone tries to do something different, but you always wind up doing the same damn thing.

  • Richard: I told myself spreading news was part of a traveller's nature, but if I was being completely honest, I was just like everybody else: shit-scared of the great unknown. Desperate to take a little piece of home with me.
